Meego on OMAP 3530EVM Mistral board


Following are the steps to bringup Meego on Omap 3530EVM Mistral board : -

Assumption :

- Boot loader is u-boot.
- Tool chain used for building kernel is compatible with the root file system of meego package for ARMV7.



1.  Download u-boot if not present on target device from below URL :

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbusplashcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&contentId=4750#omap3530

2. Download linux kernel from below URL :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git


3. Download the OMAP EVM kernel patch from below URL :

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/85197/

4. Download the SGX\GLES SDK (OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_3_01_00_07.bin) from below URL :

http://softwaredl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/gfxsdk/latest/index_FDS.html

5. create_sgx_package.sh needs to be  downloaded from below URL

(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/%2Bjunk/2.6-stable/annotate/head:/create_sgx_package.sh)

Run create_sgx_package.sh while keeping the script and the OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_3_01_00_07.bin in the same directory.
One of the resulting files is named GFX_3_01_00_07_libs.tar.gz. which needs to be extracted in the Meego rootfs.

6. Meego rootfs

7. Make sure the previously generated GFX_3_01_00_07_libs.tar.gz is also in the current directory as the kickstart file while you build the image using mic-image-creator.

8. Flash the kernel to nand flash.

9. Two partitions for SD card - Root file system, SWAP.

10. Set the appropriate boot args for bringing up Meego UX from SD Card.
