=== Device Tree ===
 +
Device Tree (DT), is a data structure and language for describing hardware. More specifically, it is a description of hardware that is readable by an operating system so that the operating system doesn't need to hard code details of the machine.
 +
 +
A device tree file, named *.dts, is a text file that describes the hardware platform. It is compiled into a device tree blob, *.dtb, which is loaded into memory before the Linux kernel is started. The Linux kernel then uses that device tree blob to initialize itself at runtime.
 +
 +
==== CL-SOM-AM57x device tree organization ====
 +
The SBC-AM57x product is built from 3 major components:
 +
<pre>
 +
┌───────────────────────────────┐
 +
│ SB-SOM baseboard            │
 +
│                    │
 +
│  ┌─────────────────────┐  │
 +
│  │ CL-SOM-AM57x SoM   │    │
 +
│  │          │ │
 +
│  │  ┌──────────────┐  │ │
 +
│  │ │ TI AM57x SoC │  │ │
 +
│  │ └──────────────┘  │ │
 +
│  └─────────────────────┘ │
 +
└───────────────────────────────┘
 +
</pre>
 +
SBC-AM57x Device tree hierarchy reflects the hardware hierarchy:
 +
<pre>
 +
      dra74x.dtsi
 +
  ∧
 +
  │
 +
am57xx-cl-som-am57x.dts       compulab-sb-som.dtsi
 +
  ∧         ∧
 +
  └────────┐       ┌────────┘
 +
    │       │
 +
am57xx-sbc-am57x.dts
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
* {{filename | dra74x.dtsi}} is the SoC vendor device tree describing the dra74x SoC family.
 +
* {{filename | am57xx-cl-som-am57x.dts}} is the SoM vendor device tree describing the CL-SOM-AM57x SoM.
 +
* {{filename | compulab-sb-som.dtsi}} describes the SB-SOM baseboard. Only hardware properties that remain constant regardless of which SoM is installed on the baseboard are described here.
 +
* {{filename | am57xx-sbc-am57x.dts}} describes the integration between CL-SOM-AM57x SoM and the SB-SOM baseboard. Everything that is related to the SB-SOM baseboard and would change if we were to swap the CL-SOM-AM57x module with another SoM is described here. For example: SB-SOM contains TFP410, an RGB-to-DVI encoder. The encoder is located on an I2C bus, but depending on the installed SoC it might be i2c1, i2c2, or i2c3. Therefore, it is not described in the generic {{filename | compulab-sb-som.dtsi}} device tree, but in the device tree describing the SB-SOM/CL-SOM-AM57x combination. On the other hand, in order to describe the DVI connector on SB-SOM, there is no need to reference any SoM specific information, and therefore it is described in the generic {{filename | compulab-sb-som.dtsi}} file.

Overview

Linux kernel for the CompuLab CL-SOM-AM57x System-on-Module / Computer-on-Module provides support for on-board peripherals and abstracts the functionality provided by the hardware. CompuLab provides ready-to-run binary kernel images, and source code of the modifications and additions made to the Linux kernel to work properly with CL-SOM-AM57x modules.

Building kernel for CL-SOM-AM57x

Getting kernel sources

There are various ways to get Linux kernel sources that can be used as a baseline for CL-SOM-AM57x kernel. For instance, a copy of linux-stable git tree can be created or a Linux kernel sources snapshot can be downloaded.

Assuming that the /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel directory structure has been created for CL-SOM-AM57x kernel development.

Snapshot download

Mainline kernel v4.4.21
  • Download v4.4.21 snapshot with a web browser.
  • Extract the downloaded archive linux-4.4.tar.gz
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel
tar xvf /path/to/downloaded/linux-4.4.21.tar.gz
mv linux-4.4.21 linux-cl-som-am57x
This will create /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/linux-cl-som-am57x directory containing linux kernel tree.
  • Apply the CL-SOM-AM57x patch
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/cl-som-am57x
patch -p1 < /path/to/cl-som-am57x/kernel/kernel-v4.4/linux-4.4.21-cl-som-am57x-3.2.patch
TI SDK kernel v4.1.13
  • Download v4.1.13 snapshot with a web browser.
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel
tar xvf /path/to/downloaded/processor-sdk-processor-sdk-linux-processor-sdk-linux-02.00.01.tar.gz
mv processor-sdk-linux linux-cl-som-am57x-ti
This will create /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/linux-cl-som-am57x-ti directory containing linux kernel tree.
  • Apply the CL-SOM-AM57x patch
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/cl-som-am57x-ti
patch -p1 < /path/to/cl-som-am57x/kernel/ti-sdk-4.1.13/linux-4.1.13-cl-som-am57x-ti-3.2.patch

Git clone

  • Install git version control system.
Mainline kernel v4.4.21
  • Create a clone of linux kernel tree
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-cl-som-am57x
  • Create a branch for CL-SOM-AM57x development. The CL-SOM-AM57x patches are generated vs. v4.4.21 tag (1d074db69c46d62ce82b331c2080e2fcb710bf4a commit) in the Linux stable tree. It is recommended to use exactly the same baseline to avoid merge conflicts.
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/linux-cl-som-am57x
git checkout -b cl-som-am57x-dev v4.4.21
  • Apply the CL-SOM-AM57x patch
git am /path/to/cl-som-am57x-linux/kernel/kernel-v4.4/patches/*.patch


Admolition note.png Future stable kernel versions of 4.4 can also be used by adding the Linux kernel stable repository as a remote and checking out any later tag of the v4.4.y stable kernel branch.
TI SDK kernel v4.1.13
  • Create a clone of linux kernel tree
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel
git clone git://git.ti.com/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-linux.git linux-cl-som-am57x-ti
  • Create a branch for CL-SOM-AM57x development. The CL-SOM-AM57x patches are generated vs. processor-sdk-linux-rt-02.00.01 branch in the TI Linux tree. It is recommended to use exactly the same baseline to avoid merge conflicts.
cd /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/linux-cl-som-am57x-ti
git checkout -b cl-som-am57x-dev-ti origin/processor-sdk-linux-02.00.01
Admolition note.png As an alternative, the TI SDK kernel can be added as an additional remote to the mainline kernel git repository.
  • Apply the CL-SOM-AM57x patch
git am /path/to/cl-som-am57x-linux/kernel/ti-sdk-4.1.13/kernel/patches/*.patch

Building the kernel

  • Run the following commands:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-eabi-
make cl-som-am57x_defconfig && make menuconfig
make && make zImage && make am57xx-sbc-am57x.dtb \
     INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/development/cl-som-am57x/rootfs make modules_install

In the example above:

  • The Linux kernel image zImage will be created in /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/linux-cl-som-am57x/arch/arm/boot
  • The Device Tree binary am57xx-sbc-am57x.dtb will be created in /home/development/cl-som-am57x/kernel/linux-cl-som-am57x/arch/arm/boot/dts
  • The loadable kernel modules will be installed into the /home/development/cl-som-am57x/rootfs/lib/modules directory.

When the CL-SOM-AM57x is booted with the kernel image and Device Tree binary created as described above and with networked root filesystem at /home/development/cl-som-am57x/rootfs/, the system will be able to load the kernel modules properly, thus avoiding module version problems.

Device Tree

Device Tree (DT), is a data structure and language for describing hardware. More specifically, it is a description of hardware that is readable by an operating system so that the operating system doesn't need to hard code details of the machine.

A device tree file, named *.dts, is a text file that describes the hardware platform. It is compiled into a device tree blob, *.dtb, which is loaded into memory before the Linux kernel is started. The Linux kernel then uses that device tree blob to initialize itself at runtime.

CL-SOM-AM57x device tree organization

The SBC-AM57x product is built from 3 major components: 

┌───────────────────────────────┐
│ SB-SOM baseboard    	        │
│      	       	       	   	│
│   ┌─────────────────────┐  	│
│   │ CL-SOM-AM57x SoM 	  │    	│
│   │  	       		  │	│
│   │  	┌──────────────┐  │	│
│   │ 	│ TI AM57x SoC │  │	│
│   │	└──────────────┘  │	│
│   └─────────────────────┘	│
└───────────────────────────────┘

SBC-AM57x Device tree hierarchy reflects the hardware hierarchy: 

	      dra74x.dtsi
		   ∧
		   │
	am57xx-cl-som-am57x.dts	      compulab-sb-som.dtsi
		   ∧			        ∧
		   └────────┐	       ┌────────┘
			    │	       │
			am57xx-sbc-am57x.dts
  • dra74x.dtsi is the SoC vendor device tree describing the dra74x SoC family.
  • am57xx-cl-som-am57x.dts is the SoM vendor device tree describing the CL-SOM-AM57x SoM.
  • compulab-sb-som.dtsi describes the SB-SOM baseboard. Only hardware properties that remain constant regardless of which SoM is installed on the baseboard are described here.
  • am57xx-sbc-am57x.dts describes the integration between CL-SOM-AM57x SoM and the SB-SOM baseboard. Everything that is related to the SB-SOM baseboard and would change if we were to swap the CL-SOM-AM57x module with another SoM is described here. For example: SB-SOM contains TFP410, an RGB-to-DVI encoder. The encoder is located on an I2C bus, but depending on the installed SoC it might be i2c1, i2c2, or i2c3. Therefore, it is not described in the generic compulab-sb-som.dtsi device tree, but in the device tree describing the SB-SOM/CL-SOM-AM57x combination. On the other hand, in order to describe the DVI connector on SB-SOM, there is no need to reference any SoM specific information, and therefore it is described in the generic compulab-sb-som.dtsi file.
