Well it seems the build is ok now, meaning I completed successful. There were some (minor) warnings.

However I was expecting actual source code files to be available in /openpli40/sources which I could use in Eclipse. Instead the /openpli40/sources is filled with .done, .zip, etc files. Is this normal? If yes why are these files here?

Another thing that is not clear to me, is where are the kernel.bin, rootfs.bin, etc. I was under the impression these are the files that are uploaded by the device.

As you might have guess I need some pointing in the right direction to get me started. Any advice/information is welcome.

PS: let me know if you rather have I create new posts startup questions.

Thx in advance

The build first downloads all needed sources. Then it unpacks them, compile them, store compiled programs, libs and so on and deletes afterwards the unpacked sources and object files.

You should find in the deploy/image directory under builds the image in a zip file.

What do you wanna do? Adapt enigma2?
Sources are here:
http://sourceforge.n...ci/master/tree/
Use git to download them.

You can find all You need under

 

openpli-oe-core/build/tmp

 

sysroots  all needed stuff in function off architecture and crosscompiling (local arch cross arch cross (root) )

 

work  (if You keep work directory's after build)  very handy to analize and trouble shoot. Also the deployed sources .

 

deploy the images relating to the machine you are building. ipk the individual packages.

 

Everything You need is there. It's just a mather of being used to the structures and way of work.

Thx, this should get me started on structure and looking into some code.

Hello,

 

If I do this,

bitbake -f -c compile virtual/kernel
gzip the resulting vmlinux
ftp vmlinux.gz to /tmp
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 /tmp/vmlinux.gz
and reboot

I have a problem rewritting back the vmlinux.gz file,

root@dm800se:/var/volatile/tmp# nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 /tmp/vmlinux.gz

Maybe the kernel is not stripped ...

[Toysoft]

Thank you, what do you mean ? I have "2nd stage missing" when I do this above,

 

So I tried this,

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /boot

and replaced the file vmlinux in /boot

root@dm800se:/boot# ls -l
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           163 Nov 19  2014 autoexec.bat
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           147 Nov 19  2014 autoexec_dm800se.bat

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         72884 Nov 19  2014 bootlogo-dm800se.jpg
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            23 Nov 19  2014 bootlogo.mvi -> /usr/share/bootlogo.mvi

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       2466415 Nov 19  2014 vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz

but my file that I compile coming exactly from the same OpenPLI Linux compiler/VM is much bigger, is this normal ?

 

I compress just entering "gzip vmlinux" and I get a "vmlinux.gz" file that is 400kb bigger.

 

The file : 2466415 Nov 19  2014 vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz

My file : 2'847'724 vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz

 

Does there is specific parameters to compress with gzip ?

 

Thank you !

 

TS

[Toysoft]

With the compressed file, should I do this instead ? This is on a DM800HDse

flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd2 /tmp/vmlinux.gz

TS

[athoik]

You need to install second stage not kernel on /dev/mtd1!

[Toysoft]

Thanks, so the correct commands are then with mt2 instead of mt1,

bitbake -f -c compile virtual/kernel
gzip the resulting vmlinux
ftp vmlinux.gz to /tmp
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd2 /tmp/vmlinux.gz
and reboot

This way it's possible to upload the vmlinux to the box,

 

TS

[Toysoft]

Doing this, I am getting the box booting but then stops with IP address requesting to load the image,

 

Any idea what I do wrong ?

 

TS

[athoik]

Thanks, so the correct commands are then with mt2 instead of mt1,

Did you try to mount and replace kernel under boot?

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/2 /boot

See file meta-dream/recipes-bsp/linux/linux-dreambox.inc to see how kernel update works.

[Toysoft]

Yes, I took the vmlinux file, compressed it with gzip and then replaced the vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz by it, and I am getting the same problem, at boot asking for IP address.

 

The file I have on the built image is : 

2466415 Nov 19  2014 vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz

 

My vmlinux built with the command bitbake -f -c compile virtual/kernel is : 

2848162 Jan  1 01:05 vmlinux-3.2-dm800se.gz

 

I find strange the difference of 400kb...

 

Thank you !

 

TS

[athoik]

Better to try a full image build and see if that works!

MACHINE=dm800se make image

Αnd then grab nfi from build/tmp/deploy/images/dm800se

[Toysoft]

I just wanted to replace the vmlinux in the image, with some modifications inside to test them. How could I do this ?

 

Thanks,

 

TS

[pieterg]

as you overwrote mtd1, perhaps your secondstage loader has gone missing?

[betacentauri]

Normally
gzip -9 vmlinux
is used. Perhaps that makes the 400KB difference.

[beebee]

Ter info.

 

I do now have ubuntu 14.04. Some extra issues about it . The base document is updated.

 

By me all ok no problem for vuduo2 or dm8000.

 

QUICK-SETUP-DOCUMENT

This is my first attempt to build a DM8000 image.

 

with WUBI and ubuntu 12.on it.

Then i upgraded to ubuntu 14.04.

Same faults as on 12.

 

I followed your

[beebee]

I made myself a step forward.

The errors above i get because mkdir openpli40 on /media/usb0 (my harddisk)

 

Now i mkdir openpli40 in my home dir.

I get warnings, but no error.

when i run: ~/openpli40/openpli-oe-core/build$ MACHINE=dm8000 bitbake openpli-enigma2-feed

I run on WUBI with ubuntu 14.04.and have 32 Gig space, thats wy i tried mkdir opelpli40 op my harddisk.

 

anyone: What im i doing wrong?

suggestions?

i did re-run the same command:

probebly used space was cleared?
