-```bash -$AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/porter. -``` - -**Note**: - -* In case of failure of the build it is safe to first check that the Linux distribution chosen for your host has been validated for version 2.0 of Yocto. - -## Booting AGL Demo Platform on Renesas Porter using a micro-SD card - -**Note**: - -Porter boards have 2 SD slots: - -* one for SD cards -* another one for micro-SD cards. - -At the time of writing, we didn't succeed to boot a board using the SD slot with the current kernel (3.10): - -* Only the micro-SD slot was usable. - -To boot the board using a micro-SD card, there are two operations that should be done prior to first initial boot: - -* Create a SD-card with one ext3 partition, -* Set up the board to boot on the SD-card. - -Then for each build, the SD-card is merely rewritten and used to boot the configured board. - -## Deployment - -### Format the SD-card on the host - -* Plug microSD card and get its associated device by either running *dmesg | tail -15* or *lsblk*, for example: - -```bash -dmesg | tail -15 - - [ 1971.462160] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 - [ 1971.462277] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] No Caching mode page found - [ 1971.462278] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through -

-**Note**: - -* **WARNING** This is a critical operation, each computer is different and device can change during time, so do this operation each time you incert the microSD card. -* In the **example** above, we see the first SATA drive as 'sda'. -* In the **example** above, 'sdc' corresponds to the microSD card.* - -### Format the SD-card - -Create EXT3 partition on the SD-card using fdisk and set the MBR. - -* For **example**, if the microSD card is */dev/sdc*: - -```bash -sudo fdisk /dev/sdc - - Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.27.1). -

The partition table has been altered. - Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. - Syncing disks. -``` - -Initialize the ext3 partition using “mke2fs”: - -* for **example** if the microSD card is associated with *sdc*: -

-### Copying the built image to the SD-card - -Insert the SD-card into your build host: - -* Your desktop system may probably offer a choice to mount the SD-card automatically in some directory. -* In the next sample code, we'll suppose that the SD-card mount directory is stored in the variable $SDCARD. -* For example **example** the microSD card is associated with device *sdc*: - -```bash -export SDCARD=/tmp/agl -mkdir -p $SDCARD -sudo mount /dev/sdc1 $SDCARD -``` - -Go to your build directory: - -```bash -cd $AGL_TOP/build/tmp/deploy/images/porter -``` - -Make sure the filesystem is empty: - -```bash -sudo rm -rf ${SDCARD:-bad_dir}/* -``` - -*** IMPORTANT *** -Verify that **tar** version is 1.28 or newer: - -```bash -tar --version -tar (GNU tar) 1.28 -[snip] -``` - -If your distribution is up to date on this dependency, you can use the host tool directly. Let's define a variable for the following steps: - -```bash -TAR=$(which tar) -``` - -Otherwise, a native up-to-date version of tar is also generated while building AGL distribution: - -```bash -TAR=$AGL_TOP/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/tar-native/tar -$TAR --version -tar (GNU tar) 1.28 -[snip] -``` - -Copy Automotive Grade Linux (AGL) files onto the mircoSD card by extracting the root file system archive: - -```bash -sudo $TAR --extract --xz --numeric-owner --preserve-permissions --preserve-order --totals \ - --xattrs-include='*' --directory=$SDCARD --file=agl-demo-platform-porter.tar.xz -``` - -Copy Kernel Image and Device Tree Blob file into the **boot** directory: - -```bash -sudo cp uImage+dtb /tmp/agl/boot/ -``` - -Ensure the changes have been written to the disk: - -```bash -sync -``` - - Unmount the micrSD card: - -```bash -sudo umount $SDCARD -``` - -### Booting the board - -Turn the board off using the power switch. -Insert the microSD-card into the appropriate slot. -Verify that you have plugged in, at least, the following: - -* External monitor on HDMI port -* Input device (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen...) on USB port. - -Turn the board on using the power switch. -After a few seconds, you'll see the AGL splash screen on the display and you'll be able to log in on the console terminal (login is 'root', no password): - -```bash -Automotive Grade Linux 2.0.0 porter ttySC6 - -porter login: -``` - -### To access the shell (serial) - -Install a serial client on your computer. -This can be “screen”, “picocom”, “minicom”. -The lighter of the 3 is “picocom” (it has less dependencies). -Plug a USB cable from your computer to the serial CP2102 USB port of the porter board (near the power switch and fan connector). -With “dmesg” you can check the device created for the serial link. -To get it, you must switch the board on. -For example: - -```bash -dmesg | tail - [609575.767056] usb 2-1.6.4: new full-speed USB device number 21 using ehci-pci - [609575.854083] usb 2-1.6.4: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60 - [609575.854089] usb 2-1.6.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 - [609575.854100] usb 2-1.6.4: Product: CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller - [609575.854102] usb 2-1.6.4: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs - [609575.854104] usb 2-1.6.4: SerialNumber: 0001 - [609575.990209] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial - [609575.990221] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic - [609575.990229] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for generic - [609575.995184] usbcore: registered new interface driver cp210x - [609575.995198] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for cp210x - [609575.995239] cp210x 2-1.6.4:1.0: cp210x converter detected - [609576.068184] usb 2-1.6.4: reset full-speed USB device number 21 using ehci-pci - [609576.154125] usb 2-1.6.4: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0 -``` - -The link is attached to the device /dev/ttyUSB0. -It is time to launch your serial client. -Example: - -```bash -picocom -b 38400 /dev/ttyUSB0 -``` - -or - -```bash -minicom -b 38400 -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -``` - -or - -```bash -screen /dev/ttyUSB0 38400 -``` - -Power on the Porter board to see a shell on the console - -```bash -KOELSCH SPI_LOADER(DDR3L_1333) V0.16a 2014.10.03 - DEVICE S25FL512 - - -U-Boot 2013.01.01-gb653737-dirty (Mar 26 2015 - 14:37:46) - -CPU: Renesas Electronics R8A7791 rev 2.0 -Board: Porter Board - -DRAM: 1 GiB -MMC: sh-sdhi: 0, sh-sdhi: 1 -SF: Detected S25FL512S with page size 256 KiB, total 64 MiB -In: serial -Out: serial -Err: serial -Net: sh_eth -Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 -=> -``` - -### U-Boot configurations - -Follow the steps below to configure boot from microSD card and to set screen resolution: - -* Power up the board and, using your preferred terminal emulator. -* Type a character to abort the boot and enter the U-boot menu. -* Type **print** to check the environment: - -```bash -print -``` - -* Verify that the ethaddr environment variable is set to the same MAC address value shown on the label on top of the RJ45 Ethernet connector. -* If not please set it using the following command: - -```bash -setenv ethaddr <MAC address> -``` - -For example: - -```bash -setenv ethaddr 2e:09:0a:00:75:b5 -``` - -* Set the follow environment variables: - -```bash -setenv bootargs_console 'console=ttySC6,38400 ignore_loglevel' -setenv bootargs_video 'vmalloc=384M video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080-32@60' -setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=3 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait' -setenv bootmmc '1:1' -setenv bootcmd_sd 'ext4load mmc ${bootmmc} 0x40007fc0 boot/uImage+dtb' -setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs ${bootargs_console} ${bootargs_video} ${bootargs_root}; run bootcmd_sd; bootm 0x40007fc0' -``` - -**WARNINGS:** - -* If no display shows up when booting, e.g. for a non-full HD screen, replace **1920x1080** value in the **bootargs_video** variable with lower screen resolution such as **1024x768**.

Use the following command once to modify the script. - -```bash -sed -i 's/Main.qml/--fullscreen Main.qml/' start_CES2016_ivi-shell.sh -``` - -Then restart the demo: - -```bash -killall qmlscene -./start_CES2016_ivi-shell.sh -``` - -#### IMPORTANT - -Please note that the current image uses Evaluation drivers: - -* as a consequence, the graphics and multimedia acceleration provided by these drivers will stop after 3 hours. When this happens, simply reboot the board and restart the demo. - -For more information, you can check the embedded README: - -```bash -cat /opt/AGL/CES2016/README.md -Open source QML UI - -To run on target: -$ cd /opt/AGL/CES2016 -$ /usr/bin/qt5/qmlscene -I imports Main.qml - -For development it can be nice to use Scaled.qml instead so it fits your screen. - - - -© 2015 Jaguar Land Rover.
