⚠️ WARNING
This version is currently under development

Setting Up Your Host PC

The build system is currently supported on host PCs running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit. For setting up your host PC, please see the Setting Up Your Host PC page.

Fetching the Sources

The source is fully contained in the Analog Devices Linux for ADSP repositories.

To install the sources: 

$ mkdir ~/sc584-ezkit
$ cd ~/sc584-ezkit
$ mkdir bin
$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ./bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ./bin/repo
$ ./bin/repo init \
   -u https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/lnxdsp-repo-manifest.git \
   -b develop/yocto-3.1.0 \
   -m develop-yocto-3.1.0.xml
$ ./bin/repo sync

Building the Image

Preparing the buildtool

Yocto requires the environment to be configured before building is possible.  A setup-environment script in the sc584-ezkit folder contains all the required environment settings for your build target. Source the setup script for your board:

$ source setup-environment -m adsp-sc584-ezkit

Sourcing the script will configure your build environment and create a build folder along with a local build configuration file.  See the Yocto Manual for further details.

📝 Note that the build environment needs to be sourced once only before building.  If later working in a different terminal, the setup-environment script should be sourced again.  If sourcing the setup-environment script is done without specifying the machine, Yocto will reuse the previous configuration settings and retain any changes made to the files in the conf folder

Building the example

You can build two different versions of the root file system; minimal and full. To build the example images invoke bitbake from within the build directory created previously.

$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-minimal
$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-full

When the build completes you will see a warning that the ELF binary has relocations in .text. It is OK to ignore this warning

📝 Building a Linux distribution with Yocto is a significantly demanding process, both in CPU and network usage. A full build from scratch is estimated to take around 170 minutes for an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11500T with 16 GB of RAM and a stable, fast Internet connection. This estimate can go up significantly for a poorer Internet connection or CPU resources, so set aside plenty of time for a clean build.

Building the SDK

The SDK will provide you with the cross toolchain needed to develop application for the target board, alongside various miscellaneous tools. Notably, it will provide you with OpenOCD and GDB, which you can use to run and flash U-Boot on the board.

The SDK can be built for the adsp-sc5xx-minimal image or the adsp-sc5xx-full image. To build the SDK for the adsp-sc5xx-minimal image invoke bitbake from within the build directory created previously.

$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-minimal -c populate_sdk

or for the adsp-sc5xx-full image

$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-full -c populate_sdk

When the build has completed you will find a set of files in the <BUILD_DIR>/tmp/deploy/sdk directory. For example, the minimal image on SC594:

$ ls tmp/deploy/sdk
adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.1.0.host.manifest
adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.1.0.sh
adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.1.0.target.manifest
adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.1.0.testdata.json

The adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa5t2hf-neon-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.1.0.sh is a self-extracting archive containing the SDK.

Installing the SDK

Invoke the self-extracting archive. It will default to installing to /opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.0 but gives you the option to select your own install folder during the installation. For the minimal image on SC594

$ ./adi-distro-glibc-glibc-x86_64-adsp-sc5xx-minimal-cortexa55-adsp-sc584-ezkit-toolchain-3.1.0.sh
Analog Devices Inc Reference Distro (glibc) SDK installer version 3.1.0
=======================================================================
Enter target directory for SDK (default: /opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.0):
You are about to install the SDK to "/opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.0". Proceed [Y/n]?
Extracting SDK....................................................................................................................done
Setting it up...done
SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.
Each time you wish to use the SDK in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script e.g.
 $ . /opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.0/environment-setup-cortexa55-adi_glibc-linux

Your SDK is now installed.

Setup the hardware

Before installing the software on to the development board, ensure that the following cables are connected:

  • Board connected to network via ethernet cable using J13 connector.
  • Board connected to host PC using USB micro cable, connected to USB/UART port on the development board
  • Board connected to the ICE 1000 or ICE 2000 via the DEBUG port on the board
  • ICE is also connected to host PC via USB mini cable
  • The BOOT MODE selector on the SC584 board should be turned to "0".

Transfer, run and flash U-Boot on the board for the first time

📝 It's always good practice to erase the contents of /tftpboot/ before running and/or flashing a new build of U-Boot or Linux. You can do so by executing rm /tftpboot/* on your host PC before proceeding

Transfer and run U-Boot on RAM

Copy the U-Boot binary & loader files to the tftp directory:

$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/u-boot-proper-sc584-ezkit.elf /tftpboot/
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/u-boot-spl-sc584-ezkit.elf /tftpboot/
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/stage1-boot.ldr /tftpboot/
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/stage2-boot.ldr /tftpboot/

The console output from U-Boot and later on Linux will appear on the USB serial port configured in minicom earlier so open up minicom.

Terminal1: minicom

$ sudo minicom

In a separate console launch OpenOCD and connect to the development board.

Terminal2: OpenOCD

$ sdk_usr=/opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.0/sysroots/x86_64-adi_glibc_sdk-linux/usr/
$ $sdk_usr/bin/openocd -f $sdk_usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/<ICE>.cfg -f $sdk_usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/adspsc59x.cfg

Where <ICE> should be replaced with ice1000 or ice2000 depending on your hardware. When successful you should see a message similar to the console output below

Terminal2: OpenOCD

In a third console window launch GDB and type target extended-remote :3333. This will make GDB to connect to the gdbserver on the local host using port 3333. Then, load the U-Boot SPL into RAM by typing load u-boot-proper-sc584-ezkit.elf. Hit Ctrl+C to interrupt thereafter.

Terminal3: GDB

Flash U-Boot to SPI Flash

In the U-Boot console, set the IP address of the Linux PC that hosts the U-Boot loader files (stage1-boot.ldr & stage2-boot.ldr) on TFTP.

Terminal1: minicom

=> setenv serverip <SERVERIP>
=> setenv tftpserverip <SERVERIP>
📝 To find the IP address of your host Linux PC you can issue the ip addr command from the shell or console.

If your network supports DHCP, run:

=> dhcp

If your network does NOT support DHCP, run:

=> set ipaddr <ADDR>

Where <ADDR> is the IP address you want to assign.

📝 If flashing a board that had been previously programmed, it's good to erase the whole flash before as sometimes previous U-Boot installations might leave remnants. You can do that by typing => sf probe ${sfdev}; sf erase 0 0x4000000 on the U-Boot prompt before proceeding to the following instructions

Next, run the U-Boot update command to copy the U-Boot loader files from the host PC to the target board, and write it into flash:

=> run update_spi_uboot_only

You will see an output similar to the one below:

=> run update_spi_uboot_only

In order to store the ''serverip'' and the DHCP or otherwise assigned IP address of the board and have them available on next boot, you can run the following command:

=> saveenv
Saving Environment to SPIFlash... Erasing SPI flash...Writing to SPI flash...done
OK

At this point the U-Boot binary is stored in flash. You can now disconnect the ICE-1000 or ICE-2000 from the development board and make sure to switch the BMODE to position 1. You will only need to reconnect this if your board fails to boot and you need to re-follow these instructions.

Booting Linux

Booting the minimal image from QSPI

The U-Boot console is used to copy U-Boot (SPL and Proper), the minimal root filesystem image and the fitImage (which contains the kernel image and dtb file) into RAM and then write them to Flash. Copy the required files from <BUILD DIR>/tmp/deploy/images to your /tftpboot directory.

$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/stage1-boot.ldr /tftpboot/
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/stage2-boot.ldr /tftpboot/
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/fitImage /tftpboot/
$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/adsp-sc5xx-minimal-adsp-sc584-ezkit.jffs2 /tftpboot

If your network supports DHCP, run:

=> run update_spi
If your network does NOT support DHCP in the U-Boot console configure the board IP address and remove "run init_ethernet;" from the "start_update_spi" command.
=> setenv ipaddr <IPADDR>
=> edit start_update_spi
=> edit: <remove "run init_ethernet;" from here> sf probe ${sfdev}; sf erase 0 ${sfsize}; run update_spi_uboot; run update_spi_fit; run update_spi_rfs; sleep 3; saveenv

After editing start_update_spi, proceed to running as update_spi, as above.

You should see output similar to the following.

=> run update_spi

Network Booting

In order to boot Linux via the network, the TFTP server should be setup as indicated in the Setting Up Your Host PC page, and a copy of the fitImage should be copied into the /tftpboot directory.

$ cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/fitImage /tftpboot/

NFS Boot

For NFS boot we use the Network File System which is stored in local Ubuntu Host. This is suggested when you do application development. To setup the NFS server:

$ sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
$ sudo vi /etc/exports

#Add following commands
/romfs *(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

$ sudo mkdir /romfs/
$ sudo chmod 777 /romfs/
$ sudo service nfs-kernel-server start

We can verify that the NFS service is running by executing

$ sudo service nfs-kernel-server status

The output will indicate that the server is active, i.e.

● nfs-server.service - NFS server and services
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nfs-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
    Drop-In: /run/systemd/generator/nfs-server.service.d

Sep 06 14:38:29 $YOUR_HOSTNAME systemd[1]: Starting NFS server and services...
Sep 06 14:38:31 $YOUR_HOSTNAME systemd[1]: Finished NFS server and services.

If it's reported as inactive, wait a few moments and check the status again.

The root filesystem should then be copied to /romfs.

$ sudo tar -xf tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/adsp-sc5xx-full-adsp-sc584-ezkit.tar.xz -C /romfs

Next, on the target, from u-boot, run the following command:

=> run nfsboot

Formatting the SD Card

In order to use an SD Card with Linux we need to prepare it by formatting it in the correct format. This section of instructions requires you to correctly identify the SD Card and format the card. If you select the wrong drive you may cause irreversible damage to you Host PC. To format the SD Card, follow the commands below. The example code in this section assumes that the SD Card device is reported to be /dev/sdb. Ensure that you change these commands to use your device.

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
/* Create primary partition 1, 256M size*/
Command (m for help): n
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-3887103, default 2048): PRESS ENTER
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-3887103, default 3887103): PRESS ENTER

/* Save partition */
Command (m for help): w

Format the SD card to EXT filesystem

$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

Writing the kernel and file system to the SD Card

Next, we need to copy the Linux file system and kernel image to the SD Card. We install this on to the SD Card by mounting the file system on to the local Host PC and copying the contents on to the SD Card. To allow the choice of booting using ramboot and sdcard boot we copy the ramboot image to the SD card as well as extract the minimal image to the SD card.

$ mkdir ~/mnt
$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 ~/mnt
$ sudo mkdir ~/mnt/boot
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/adsp-sc5xx-ramdisk-adsp-sc584-ezkit.cpio.xz.u-boot ~/mnt/boot/ramdisk.cpio.xz.u-boot
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/sc594-ezkit.dtb ~/mnt/boot/
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/fitImage ~/mnt/boot/
$ sudo tar -xf tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/adsp-sc5xx-minimal-adsp-sc584-ezkit.tar.xz -C ~/mnt
$ sudo umount ~/mnt

The file system and kernel image are now installed on to the SD Card. The SD Card can now be safely removed from the Host PC.

Booting Linux from the SD card

Set U-boot environment variables

=> setenv mmcargs=setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0 rw rootfstype=ext4 rootwait earlycon=adi_uart,0x31003000 console=ttySC0,115200
=> setenv mmcboot=mmc rescan; run mmcload; bootm ${loadaddr} ${initramaddr};
=> setenv mmcload 'ext4load mmc 0:1 ${initramaddr} /boot/${initramfile};ext4load mmc 0:1  ${loadaddr} /boot/${imagefile};'
=> saveenv

Run Linux from SD card

$ run mmcboot

The linux kernel will then boot up using the file system stored in SD card.

Booting rootfs from SD card

Follow the steps to enable SD card boot. This step include enabling emmc peripheral in Linux Kernel.

Rebuild the Linux kernel

$ devtool build linux-adi

Copy the new generated fitImage to boot folder on SD card.

Booting Linux from USB Mass Storage

Formatting USB stick

First step is to format USB stick to U-Boot supported formats.

To format the USB stick, follow the commands below. The example code in this section assumes that the USB device is reported to be /dev/sdb. Ensure that you change these commands to use your device.

$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
/* Create primary partition 1, 256M size*/
Command (m for help): n
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-3887103, default 2048): PRESS ENTER
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-3887103, default 3887103): PRESS ENTER

/* Save partition */
Command (m for help): w

Format the USB stick to EXT4 filesystem

$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

Writing kernel and rootfs image to USB Mass Storage

$ mkdir ~/mnt
$ sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 ~/mnt
$ sudo mkdir ~/mnt/boot
$ sudo tar -xf tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/adsp-sc5xx-minimal-adsp-sc584-ezkit.tar.xz -C ~/mnt
$ sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc584-ezkit/fitImage ~/mnt/boot/
$ sudo umount ~/mnt

Booting Linux from the USB Mass Storage device

To boot from ADSP-SC594-EZKIT run in u-boot

=> setenv usbload 'ext4load usb 0 ${initramaddr} /boot/${initramfile}; ext4load usb 0 ${loadaddr} /boot/${imagefile};'
=> setenv usbboot 'usb start; run usbload; run ramargs; bootm ${loadaddr} ${initramaddr};'
=> run usbboot

Booting rootfs from USB Mass Storage

Follow the step how to setup USB stick in chapter above resources:tools-software:linuxdsp:docs:quickstartguide:quickstart_sc594_3_0_0##booting_linux_from_the_usb_mass_storage. Set environment variables in U-boot

=> setenv usbargs 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda1 rw rootfstype=ext4 rootwait earlycon=adi_uart,0x31003000 console=ttySC0,115200'
=> setenv usbload 'ext4load usb 0 ${loadaddr} /boot/${imagefile};'
=> setenv usbboot 'usb start; run usbload; run usbargs; bootm ${loadaddr};'

And type to boot

=> run usbboot

Now the rootfs is set to your USB stick and amount of space equals of size of partition on USB stick.
