Now, let's say you want to make some mods to the kernel source files. I had asked on the IRC channel in how to do this, and the easiest way was via checking out the kernel and rebuilding. I didn't feel that comfortable in doing that, so I decided to do it via the compile process here.

So, let's assume you want to try out some mods that were suggested in the kernel bug for OOM errors for FatSlugs ?: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7760 How to start this? First, let's assume you've already got a complete system working per above, and you've compiled the slugosbe image. That would be in the path:

 /home/slug/slugos/tmp/deploy/images/slugosbe-4.10-alpha-nslu2.bin

So, let's proceed to modify the file common-pci.c per recommendation above. The file to modify is here (note line break on purpose):

 tmp/work/nslu2be-linux/linux-ixp4xx-2.6.24.7+svnr1066-r0/
 linux-2.6.24/arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/common-pci.c

I manually patched and copied common-pci.c and put it in the ~/tmp directory. Here I do a diff:

 [slug@Linux ~/slugos]$ diff tmp/work/nslu2be-linux/linux-ixp4xx-2.6.24.7+svnr1066-r0/    linux-2.6.24/arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/common-pci.c ~/tmp/common-pci.c

 326c326
 <               dmabounce_register_dev(dev, 2048, 4096);
 ---
 >               dmabounce_register_dev(dev, 16384, 131072);

So now just copy the patch to the appropriate directory above via:

 [slug@Linux ~/slugos]$ cp ~/tmp/common-pci.c tmp/work/nslu2be-linux/    linux-ixp4xx-2.6.24.7+svnr1066-r0/linux-2.6.24/arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/common-pci.c

Now we have to "fake" the process into re-compiling the parts necessary:

 [slug@Linux ~/slugos]$ rm tmp/work/nslu2be-linux/linux-ixp4xx-2.6.24.7+svnr1066-r0/                           linux-2.6.24/arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/common-pci.o

 [slug@Linux ~/slugos]$ rm tmp/stamps/nslu2be-linux/                        linux-ixp4xx-2.6.24.7+svnr1066-r0.do_compile

 [slug@Linux ~/slugos]$ make slugosbe

That will re-compile the kernel, as we manually removed the "do_compile" file in the path above (so that means it assumes it's not there and needs to be re-run). Lucky for us, it only looks at the missing .o files so it only needs to re-compile the common-pci.c file to create common-pci.o and then merge / link to the rest of the kernel files and such to make the 8MB flash image.

June 13, 2008, at 04:16 AM by Rob Lockhart -- added instructions about modification of cmdline for turnup scripts to work with custom Apex

Changed lines 209-210 from:

I used the first instructions, as I use TFTP at work via custom boot loader, and am very comfortable with it. I know that a lot of the instructions warn about not using it, there are better ways, etc. but that is the only instruction set that will work with both Linux and Windows environments (at least that I know), without having to install SerComm, etc. utility (which I don't want).

to:

I used the first instructions, as I use and trust TFTP. I know that a lot of the instructions warn about not using it, there are better ways, etc. but that is the only instruction set that will work with both Linux and Windows environments (at least that I know), without having to install SerComm, etc. utility (which I don't want). And if you compile your own RedBoot, you can access all RAM and all FLASH area within RedBoot.

Added lines 212-223:

NOTE: I assume you know how to use SlugImage ? to pack and unpack parts of the image. Something useful is to be able to replace the apex boot loader with a more recent one (that supports 256MiB via "sdram-init" and support for 16MiB flash). If you're running slugos and you run the turnup scripts, and after the first reboot the external drive doesn't get re-mounted, that's because your apex command line needs to be modified. Do it as follows (in APEX - for SlugOS - unknown for Debian):

type "print" in Apex (CTRL-C while Apex is booting and "copying").

old line:

 cmdline *= root=/dev/mtdblock4 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200

You need to append "init=/linuxrc". Do it as follows:

 setenv cmdline *= root=/dev/mtdblock4 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200 init=/linuxrc

It is saved automatically, so when you reboot your "turnup" scripts will now work properly. Note that this may not be necessary for newer versions of Apex, but for 1.5.13 I required this workaround (thanks to rwhitby).

NOTE: Both the above currently fail around task 569 of 645 for Deb or Ubuntu users

git is now called gitfm

This can be fixed by deleting the errant mtd-utils-native_1.0.0+git.bb file from the folder

/home/slug/slugosle/openembedded/packages/mtd

as by the instruction at

http://www.openembedded.org/oefaq

Section 2 Build errors

Q 10 gitfm is run instead of git

Added lines 139-151:

Now, where are those images? type:

 $ find . -iname '*.bin'

and you'll see some directories named 'deploy'. Those are where the compiled images are located. NOTE: you'll see the files like 'slugosle-4.4-beta-nslu2.bin'. That is the actual image you would upload to flash per the various instructions in the wiki's:

I used the first instructions, as I use TFTP at work via custom boot loader, and am very comfortable with it. I know that a lot of the instructions warn about not using it, there are better ways, etc. but that is the only instruction set that will work with both Linux and Windows environments (at least that I know), without having to install SerComm, etc. utility (which I don't want).

Note that you can always use SlugImage to replace parts of the image, instead of replacing the whole thing. I did this for FatSlug, as I only wanted to upgrade the Apex bootloader (for >32MiB memory detection).

Throughout this document, please note the command prefixes. Only do things as root as necessary, as you can and will mess up your working Linux box if you do everything as root.

 $ => implies non-root ("slug" account)
 # => implies root

Assuming you don't already have a user "slug", you have to first create that user.

 # useradd -m slug
 $ cd /home/slug

Since you installed monotone, it's likely not going to be the right version. I used version 0.34 (whereas active may have been 0.33). This caused me to do:

$ mtn db migrate --db=monotone/nslu2-linux.mtn (took about 5 minutes I think)

After that, it told me that I should run (which I did): $ mtn db regenerate_caches --db=monotone/nslu2-linux.mtn (took a VERY long time - 13,085 entries and took 30 minutes to get to 865). I let it run overnight (it took about 6 hours).

note that above I had to change the name as it was looking for -2_3.zip and I only had -2_3_2.zip file.

$ make slugosle (took about 2 hours to finish) $ make slugosbe (about the same time as above)

once you have built slugosle and slugosbe, check out our kernel svn repo into /home/slug/kernel, and then add /home/slug/slugosle/tmp/cross/bin and /home/slug/ slugosbe/tmp/cross/bin to your path. then you can build all our bleeding edge kernel and apex stuff

$ svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/trunk /home/slug/kernel after doing that, I got a bunch of stuff that looks like it was downloaded, and then it said "Checked out revision 819".

Now, to make Apex, do the following: $ cd /home/slug/kernel $ ln -s ../downloads .

 # cp -r psyco-1.5.2/psyco /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/

Next, download the entire database for building the SLUG packages:

 $ make update-master

(this takes a while as it verifies certificates, keys, revisions, etc.)

Next, setup the build environment for CentOS ?:

 # make setup-host-centos

Since you installed monotone, it's likely not going to be the right version. I used version 0.34 (whereas active may have been 0.33). This caused me to do update the database, and re-generate all caches. This was necessary as the make above will likely fail (but will partially work, enough to get the .mtn file)

 $ mtn db migrate --db=monotone/nslu2-linux.mtn

(this took about 5 minutes)

Next, it told me that I should run (which I did):

 $ mtn db regenerate_caches --db=monotone/nslu2-linux.mtn

note that above I had to change the name as it was looking for -2_3.zip and I only had -2_3_2.zip file.

Next, let's do some actual builds!

 $ make slugosle  (took about 2 hours to finish)
 $ make slugosbe  (about the same time as above)

Once you have built slugosle and slugosbe, add /home/slug/slugosle/tmp/cross/bin and /home/slug/slugosbe/tmp/cross/bin to your path. This is done via appending these statements to /home/slug/.bashrc and re-sourcing it:

 $ cat >>~/.bashrc

   (then paste in this text):
 export PATH="$PATH:/home/slug/slugosle/tmp/cross/bin:/home/slug/slugosbe/tmp/cross/bin"
   (then "CTRL-D" to exit and save)

Next, check out the kernel via:

 $ svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/kernel/trunk /home/slug/kernel

After doing that, I got a bunch of stuff that looks like it was downloaded, and then it said "Checked out revision 819".

 $ cd /home/slug/kernel
 $ ln -s ../downloads .
