Arm-Linux 移植 Ubuntu

前言:php

這篇文章介紹如何構建一個完整基於ARM的Ubuntu系統。linux

因爲改文章當初寫的時候是發表在國外產品論壇上面,故保留了原文內容。android

使用到的硬件平臺:Geekboxgit

補充說明:github

雖然Geekbox是基於8核64Bits Cortex-A53 ARMV8架構的CPU,該方法構建的時候採用了向下兼容的32Bits的ARMV7架構。所以,該方法適用於Cortex-A7/A9/A15/A17/A12架構的ARM處理器。web

In this guide, we will describe how to build an ubuntu system for Geekbox from scratch.shell

Different ways to achieve it:ubuntu

  1. Build the whole system in host PC with Chroot(emulator)bash

  2. Build in a removable media device, such as: SDCard or UDisk架構

  3. Build in the target device directly 【current article】

Before starting

Carry on the following questions before you start your work:

Q: What is included in an ubuntu system?

A: Bootloader & ramfs(kernel + initrd) & rootfs

Q: how to manage your ubuntu projects

A: Continue current reading and think about your own manage mothod.

Preparations

  1. Create the working directories
$ install -d ~/project/geekbox/ubuntu/{linux,initrd,rootfs,prebuilts,archives/{ubuntu-core,debs,hwpacks},images,utils,scripts}$ cd ~/project/geekbox/ubuntu
  1. Download the bootloader source code
$ git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/lollipop_u-boot u-boot
  1. Download the linux kernel source code
$ git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/lollipop_kernel -b ubuntu linux
  1. Download the toolchain
$ git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/lollipop_prebuilts_gcc_linux-x86_aarch64_aarch64-linux-android-4.9.git prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/

*Note the full path of 'prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6', just to keep Makefile@linux happy*
  1. Download the initrd
$ git clone https://github.com/gouwa/initrd.git initrd
  1. Download the hardware packages for Geekbox
$ git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/ubuntu_hwpacks.git archives/hwpacks
  1. Download the ubuntu-core
$ wget -P archives/ubuntu-core http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/14.04.3/release/ubuntu-core-14.04.3-core-armhf.tar.gz

# Visit the following link for the more versions:
# [url]http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases[/url]
  1. Download the rockchip upgrade tool, note to specify the 'ubuntu' branch:
$ git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/utils.git -b ubuntu utils

# [Optional]If you want to run the command in any path: 
# $ sudo cp -a utils/upgrade_tool /usr/local/bin
  1. Download the rockchip mkbootimg tools
$ git clone https://github.com/neo-technologies/rockchip-mkbootimg.git mkbootimg

Build and install mkbootimg tools:

$ make -C mkbootimg/$ sudo make install -C mkbootimg/

The above steps will generate some files in ```/usr/local/bin/```

*See utils/mkbootimg/README.md file for more information*


All the preparatory works above are necessary to build an ubuntu.

And we also offter some scripts to do thus work:

10. [Optional]Download the scripts:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/geekboxzone/ubuntu_scripts.git scripts

All the steps above just need to run one time, even if you will build the Ubuntu system many times.

Build the bootloader

  1. Compile:
$ make rk3368_box_defconfig -C u-boot/$ make ARCHV=aarch64 -C u-boot/
  1. Copy the images to the image directory:
$ cp -a u-boot/RK3368MiniLoaderAll_V*.bin u-boot/uboot.img u-boot/trust.img images/

Build the initial ramdisk

  1. Compile the kernel
$ alias Make='make ARCH=arm64'$ Make -C linux ugeekbox_defconfig$ Make -C linux geekbox.img -j8

or 7.9-inch CrossDisplay

$ Make -C linux cross.img -j8
  1. Copy the images to the image directory:
$ cp -a linux/resource.img images/
  1. Compile the initrd
$ make -C initrd

SHA match for u-boot:

$ truncate -s '%4' images/initrd.img

#View SecureNSModeBootImageShaCheck() function in following file for the information:
#u-boot/board/rockchip/common/SecureBoot/SecureVerify.c
  1. Generate the ramfs.img
$ mkbootimg --kernel linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image --ramdisk images/initrd.img -o images/ramfs.img

Build the rootfs

Notice: Many following steps need the root privileges, do not forget to type sudo if necessary.

  1. Create a blank image file using dd:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=images/rootfs.img bs=1M count=256

# Modify the count value as you want.

# NOTE: if you want to build the rootfs on the host PC, recommend 2.5GB for GUI building.
  1. Create linux filesystem on the newly created image:
$ mkfs.ext4 -F -L linuxroot images/rootfs.img

Notice: 'linuxroot' is the volume-label of the rootfs, it MUST BE EXACTLY MATCH the CMDLINE in parameter:

CMDLINE: console=ttyS2 root=LABEL=linuxroot

Otherwise, there will be similar mistakes as follow when mount the rootfs:

[quote]Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:

 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)

   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)

   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)

 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

ALERT!  /dev/disk/by-label/ does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!

(initramfs)[/quote]
  1. Confirm that rootfs is an empty directory!!!
$ rm -rf rootfs && mkdir rootfs
  1. Loop mount the the new image:
$ sudo mount -o loop images/rootfs.img rootfs
  1. Remove the unnecessary files
$ sudo rm -rf rootfs/lost+found
  1. Extract the ubuntu-core tarball into the mounted dir:
$ sudo tar xzf archives/ubuntu-core/ubuntu-core-14.04.3-core-armhf.tar.gz -C rootfs/

Tips: ubuntu-core is the minimal root file system.
  1. Add hardware packages
$ sudo cp -a archives/hwpacks/system/ rootfs/
  1. Add Wifi & Bluetooth support
$ sudo cp archives/hwpacks/wifibt/wifion rootfs/usr/local/bin/
$ sudo cp archives/hwpacks/wifibt/wifioff rootfs/usr/local/bin/
$ sudo cp archives/hwpacks/wifibt/wifi.conf rootfs/etc/init
$ sudo cp archives/hwpacks/wifibt/bluetooth.conf rootfs/etc/init
$ sudo cp archives/hwpacks/wifibt/bluetooth-ap6354.conf rootfs/etc/init
``

9. Setup serial console, booting as root user:
```bash
$ sudo sed -e 's/tty1/ttyS2/g' -e '/^exec/c exec /sbin -a root -L 115200 ttyS2 vt100' < rootfs/etc/init/tty1.conf > ttyS2.conf
$ sudo mv ttyS2.conf rootfs/etc/init/ttyS2.conf
  1. Setup the hostname:
$ echo Geekbox > hostname$ sudo mv hostname rootfs/etc/hostname

Congratulations!

At this point, you have completed all the minimal-ubuntu images.

And so, all you should do is to burn these images down to device.

Download the images

  1. Download the U-Boot first-level loader
$ upgrade_tool ul images/RK3368MiniLoaderAll_V2.40.bin
  1. Download the parameter
$ upgrade_tool di -p utils/rockdev/parameter
  1. Download the U-Boot second-level loader
$ upgrade_tool di uboot images/uboot.img$ upgrade_tool di trust images/trust.img
  1. Download the resource.img
$ upgrade_tool di resource images/resource.img
  1. Download the ramfs.img
$ upgrade_tool di ramfs images/ramfs.img
  1. Download the rootfs.img
$ upgrade_tool di linuxroot images/rootfs.img
  1. Boot the device
$ upgrade_tool rd

# Notice: root access is necessary if you haven't setup udev rules.

Graphic desktop environment

NOTE: The following commands need run on your Geekbox target!

  1. Plug-in a cable, then setup the network:
root@Geekbox:~# echo auto eth0 > /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
root@Geekbox:~# echo iface eth0 inet dhcp >> /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
root@Geekbox:~# ln -fs /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
root@Geekbox:~# ifup eth0
  1. Extend the root partition:
root@Geekbox:~# resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/linuxroot

Tips: the default volume size of root partition is specify in the first step of [Build the rootfs].
  1. Install desktop packages
root@Geekbox:~# apt-get update
root@Geekbox:~# apt-get upgrade
root@Geekbox:~# apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
  1. [Optional]For bad network environment, such as: China.

Backup the ubuntu deb packages:

root@Geekbox:~# apt-get install openssh-server
root@Geekbox:~# scp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb gouwa@192.168.1.168:project/geekbox/ubuntu/archives/debs

# If you did this, next time when you rebuilt the ubuntu system,
# you can manually pull the deb packages into the apt debs archives path of target-device:

# root@Geekbox:~# scp gouwa@192.168.1.168:project/geekbox/ubuntu/archives/debs/*.deb  /var/cache/apt/archives 
# root@Geekbox:~# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
# This will save you a lot of time to download them from the website.
  1. Reboot and enjoy your hard but challenging work
root@Geekbox:~# reboot
