Download and Build

System requirements

Listed below are the recommended requirements for downloading and building the SDK:

• CPU: x86_64 or better family processor
• Memory: 8GB or higher
• Disk: 20GB free hard disk space, if you build it in a Virtual machine, I recommand you allocate a 30G virtual hard disk.
  • The Whole SDK is about 15G.
• OS: Ubuntu 14.04 (tested) or higher
• Network: internet connection

Linux host setup

Ubuntu 14.04

HINT: later version should also work.

Install prerequisites

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gawk git git-core ccache gettext libssl-dev xsltproc gperf subversion 
$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Sudo without password

$ sudo visudo

Add this line at the end (change “tom” to your username):

tom ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Ctrl-X to leave, save your changes, and you're done!

Building

Setup env

• For Lindenis V833 SBC:

$ source build/envsetup.sh

$ lunch

Then you will see the follwing menu, and enter the number to select the target case, and enter:

You're building on Linux

Lunch menu... pick a combo:
     1. v833_lindenis-tina

Which would you like?: 1

Build source

• Build kernel and rootfs

If you are the first time downloaded the SDK and have not built the SDK before, run the below two commands, then exit and save the configuration at first.

$ make menuconfig

$ make kernel_menuconfig

Then make it and wait ...

$ make -j8 V=s

Build image

$ pack

Installation

• Download the PhoenixSuit_V1.1.0.7z (Click here)and extract to a local folder (note: Windows only) and run one of the installers.
• Open the PhoenixSuit.exe.

• Click the "firmware" button.

• Click the "image" button to select the image file.

• Now the PC tool is ready. Just keep pressing the "fel" key on the SBC.

OS

System Setup

Uart

• By default, the ttyS3 is assigned to the Linux console. The UART transmit pin called "TX" and receive pin called "RX" are in the pin group, whose label is DEBUG. And the bit rate is 115200 bps.See below red rectangle.

Ethernet

• board.dts should config as follow:

gmac0: eth@05020000 {
