HOWTOs and FAQs

This section tries to summarize various HOWTOs and FAQs existing for
OMAP Linux and/or OSK.

TODO list

  • Flash Recovery Utility (FRU) available above is uses an undocumented
    usb interface and is only for windows
    • Zach Welch wants the protocol specs so a scriptable version can
      be created for Linux
    • GPL’d OMAP Flash Loader listed above duplicates the protocol,
      but does not document it.
  • u-boot sources with correct arch number (515 as listed on
    http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/)
    should be available from
    http://u-boot.sourceforge.net; or
    use u-boot 1.1.1 with
    Media:u-boot-1.1.1-osk.diff
  • OE should build complete flash image
  • uClibc rootfs should be available
  • find/post patch info for 2.4 (2.6 is listed above)
  • Tim Riker thinks it would be nice
    to have a uclibc/tuxscreen style buildroot too. ;))
