How-To install Armadeus Software Development Kit for Linux
Contents
Prerequisites for Linux installation
For Debian distrib some additional packages are required. You can use the following command to get the them:
$ apt-get install wget gettext libncurses5-dev subversion autoconf zlib1g-dev
Open a shell and follow this procedure:
Get Armadeus software
If you are a registered developpers, check out the required files from the repository:
$ svn co svn://ericjarrige.homelinux.org/armadeus/trunk armadeus --username <<YOUR USERNAME>> --password <<YOUR PASS>>
A directory named armadeus/ will be created on your hard-disk and will contain all the files you need.
If not, then download installation archive from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/armadeus and detar it.
Configure Armadeus software
$ cd armadeus/ $ make menuconfig (or just make the first time).
This will launch buildroot configuration. in Board Support Option menu, select your armadeus board (apf/apm9328), the RAM size (16/32MB) and so on...
- Exit the configuration tool saving your config
Launch build
$ make
The toolchain is built automatically. During this procedure, several files are downloaded from the web. Please wait for a while.... it takes at least one hour for the first run!

The generated binary files can be found in the subdirectory armadeus/software/buildroot:
- u-boot.brec (can be used with the bootstrap, if U-Boot is not installed or not working, see BootLoader page)
- u-boot.bin (for download with uboot, see BootLoader "Update u-boot" page)
- linux-kernel-2.6.xx-arm.bin (for download with uboot, see InstallLinux)
- rootfs.arm_nfpu.jffs2 (for download with uboot, see InstallFileSystem?)
- rootfs.arm_nfpu.tar (for an nfsroot, see RootNFS?)
To keep your copy up-to-date within the armadeus tree
$ svn update
This will update your working directory to the latest release.
Note: if "svn update" fails because a directory or a file already exists, then do:
$ rm -rf <this-directory/file> $ svn update
You can do a:
$ make defconfig
to have the latest features automatically activated and a
$ make menuconfig
to set you again you personnal parameters (SDRAM size...).
You have to do a make to rebuild binary files end then upload the binary files to your target.
Note: if definitively everything goes wrong while it worked before the last update. You can apply the following procedure:
$ rm -rf software/buildroot $ rm Makefile $ make $ make
Enjoy!
