What you will learn in this course
1
Preparing
Preparing and setting up a Linux virtual computer with everything you need for compilation. Download YOCTO and create uBoot, Kernel, Device Tree and Filesystem for the reference board. What Linux to install. Installing and configuring TFTP. How to create images for the reference board.
2
Starting
Compiling YOCTO for a custom board. Creating an SD Card needed to boot up a custom board. Boot up your board to try the generated software. How to try new uBoot, Kernel, Device Tree, and Filesystem. Setting up a new repository using GitHub to store the source code. Start adding support for your custom boards into uBoot.
3
Starting with uBoot
Create initial uBoot files with support for your custom hardware. Which files are important to create and edit. What commands you need to run to compile uBoot and compile uBoot for your custom board. How to run DDR3 calibration to get values for the memory controller and how to get DDR3 controller register values.
4
Working with uBoot
Uploading and starting uBoot directly from the CPU without any firmware. Editing uBoot files to add custom board support, including finding the important files. Configuring pins of the CPU in uBoot. Setting up the proper pin function and pin properties. Working with repositories and how to upload code changes to GitHub.
5
Linux Kernel
Which files are important to create and edit files in the Kernel source code to support custom hardware. Compiling Linux for your custom board. Finally, learn what commands will compile Kernel.
