FreeBSD for BeagleBoard Black

B

bsus

Hello,

The BeagleBoard Black is a development board which allows you to program ports for technical devices (dc engines, leds, sensors, ...). Unfortunately most development hardware is sold with high-level libraries which hide a lot of you. Because of this reason I want to show up all relating APIs in FreeBSD for the board in this thread.

Build Environment

First of all we need to set up a building environment.
The building environment will compile the sources to the boards ARM architecture.

Ensure your installation system is up-to-date.
Best use the CURRENT branch else some small "hacks" will be required for install world and then install git, gmake, gsed and subversion
with pkg_add or ports.

Then download the latest FreeBSD sources with subversion:

Code: 
svn co svn0.us-east.freebsd.org/base/head /usr/src

and build the cross compiling tools:

Code: 
cd /usr/src && make XDEV=arm XDEV_ARCH=armv6 xdev

and now we can clone crochet-freebsd with:

Code: 
cd /root && git clone git://github.com/kientzle/crochet-freebsd.git && cd crochet-freebsd

now we need the u-boot sources:

Code: 
ftp ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2013.04.tar.bz2 && tar xf u-boot-2013.04.tar.bz2

add the auditdistd user (we require this for make world and 9.1-RELEASE does not have it by default):

Code: 
pw useradd -n auditdistd -g audit -c "Auditdistd unprivileged user" -d /var/empty -s /usr/sbin/nologin

and then execute the final setup script:

Code: 
./crochet.sh -b BeagleBone

Note: If the build fails on some point try to update the sources with svn and retry!

Updates will follow...

Regards,
Bodo
 
The make XDEV=... command documented above does not appear to generate GCC as an artifact now with 10.1-RELEASE or 10-STABLE as of today's date. Are there flags that can be supplied to the make process that will allow GCC to be generated along with LLVM/CLANG?

Thank you.
 
Hi,
How do I install
world and then install git, gmake, gsed and subversion
with pkg_add or ports.

Code:
