4.15.6.1. chumbyone Chumby Industrie’s Falconwing¶
This device is also known as “chumby one” (http://www.chumby.com/)
This CPU card is based on a Freescale i.MX23 CPU. The card is shipped with:
- 64 MiB synchronous dynamic RAM (DDR type)
Memory layout when barebox is running:
- 0x40000000 start of SDRAM
- 0x40000100 start of kernel’s boot parameters
- below malloc area: stack area
- below barebox: malloc area
- 0x42000000 start of barebox
4.15.6.1.1. How to get the bootloader binary image¶
Using the default configuration:
make ARCH=arm chumbyone_defconfig
Build the bootloader binary image:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv5compiler
NOTE: replace the armv5compiler with your ARM v5 cross compiler.
4.15.6.1.2. How to prepare an MCI card to boot the “chumby one” with barebox¶
- Create four primary partitions on the MCI card
- the first one for the bootlets (about 256 kiB)
- the second one for the persistant environment (size is up to you, at least 256k)
- the third one for the kernel (2 MiB … 4 MiB in size)
- the fourth one for the root filesystem which can fill the rest of the available space
- Mark the first partition with the partition ID “53” and copy the bootlets into this partition (currently not part of barebox!).
- Copy the default barebox environment into the second partition (no filesystem required).
- Copy the kernel into the third partition (no filesystem required).
- Create the root filesystem in the fourth partition. You may copy an image into this partition or you can do it in the classic way: mkfs on it, mount it and copy all required data and programs into it.
