This page is about running a (ARM EABIhf) Debian distribution at BeagleBoard. BeagleBoard will boot the (ARM EABIhf) Debian distribution from SD card. Debian's NetInstall will be used to install Debian onto your Beagle.

Note: Original Beagleboards work with the Debian Console image booted via holding user button down. Last tested 05/2020. Ref: https://github.com/beagleboard/Latest-Images/issues/48

Official BeagleBoard.org Images for shipping with BeagleBone Black

http://beagleboard.org/source

Recommended Beagle Software

Mainline U-Boot:

All old Ax, Bx, Cx and Dx boards are required to upgrade to at least these U-Boot versions.
XM Boards have no NAND, so MLO/u-boot.img is always required on the first partition
Directions: Upgrade X-loader and U-Boot

Debian NetInstall

Scripts:

git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall.git
cd netinstall

Device Options:

BeagleBoard --dtb omap3-beagle
BeagleBoard-xM --dtb omap3-beagle-xm
BeagleBoard-X15 --dtb am57xx-beagle-x15
BeagleBone (serial) --dtb am335x-bone-serial
BeagleBone (video via cape) --dtb am335x-bone-video
BeagleBone Black --dtb am335x-boneblack
PandaBoard (A1->A3) --dtb omap4-panda
PandaBoard (A4->Ax) --dtb omap4-panda-a4
PandaBoard ES  --dtb omap4-panda-es

You will need a 1GB SD card or greater.

Standard System : ~455MB

Debian 10 (buster)

Quick Install script for "board"

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb "board" --distro stretch

So For the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm --distro stretch

Options:
- --firmware : installs firmware
- --serial-mode : debian-installer uses Serial Port

If you don't know the location of your SD card:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --probe-mmc

You should see something like:

Are you sure? I don't see [/dev/idontknow], here is what I do see...

fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes <- x86 Root Drive
Disk /dev/sdd: 3957 MB, 3957325824 bytes <- MMC/SD card

lsblk:
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0 446.9G  0 part /  <- x86 Root Partition
├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0  18.9G  0 part [SWAP]
sdd      8:48   1   3.7G  0 disk 
├─sdd1   8:49   1    64M  0 part 
└─sdd2   8:50   1   3.6G  0 part

In this example, we can see via mount, /dev/sda1 is the x86 rootfs, therefore /dev/sdd is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

Install Image:

Quick install script for [board]

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb board

board options:

BeagleBoard Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx - omap3-beagle
BeagleBoard xM - omap3-beagle-xm
All BeagleBone Variants - beaglebone
OMAP5432 uEVM - omap5-uevm
BeagleBoard-X15 (BeagleBone AI) - am57xx-beagle-x15

So for the BeagleBoard xM:

sudo ./setup_sdcard.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --dtb omap3-beagle-xm

Flasher

eMMC: All BeagleBone Variants with eMMC

This image can be written to a 2GB (or larger) microSD card, via 'dd' on Linux or on Windows/Mac/Linux: https://etcher.io First press and hold the boot select button (next to the microSD card), then apply power. On boot-up the board should indicate it has started the flashing procedure visually via a Cylon Sweep pattern shown on the 4 LED's next to the Ethernet jack. Progress is reported on both the serial debug and HDMI connectors, once completed all 4 LED's should be full ON. Simply remove power, remove the microSD card and Debian will now boot directly from eMMC.

Script for reference: (this is the script that writes to the eMMC)

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/blob/master/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh

This script will only take about 5-6 Minutes after power on.

Notes:

If only two LED's stay lit and nothing happens, the board has crashed due to lack of power. Retry with a 5Volt DC power supply connected.
If the 4 LED's blink a constant pattern, the eMMC write has failed. First REMOVE ALL capes, then retry again.

-==Beagleboard: install kernel-image==
-===Script File===
-Every Kernel upload going further on rcn-ee.net will now have an 'install-me.sh' file in the same directory..
- example: http://www.rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lenny/v2.6.31.6-x6.0/
-  wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lenny/v2.6.31.6-x6.0/install-me.sh
+  lsblk:
-  sudo /bin/bash install-me.sh
+ NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
+ sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk
+ ├─sda1   8:1    0 446.9G  0 part /  '''<- x86 Root Partition'''
+ ├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part

+ ├─sdd1   8:49   1    64M  0 part
+  └─sdd2   8:50   1   3.6G  0 part
-Note: vmlinuz symbolic link (yes <or> no)...
+* In this example, we can see via mount, '''/dev/sda1''' is the x86 rootfs, therefore '''/dev/sdd''' is the other drive in the system, which is the MMC/SD card that was inserted and should be used by ./setup_sdcard.sh...

+== Xorg Drivers ==
-**Planning to drop this section for squeeze, it's slow and ubuntu's rootstock can replace it**
+Script:
+  cd /opt/scripts/tools/
-This methods lasted 4 hours on a PC Ubuntu/Lenny (P4 2GHz) with an external USB2.0 card reader.
+  git pull
-Install QEMU on your host PC. This assumes that your host PC is running Debian as well. If not, install QEMU the way your host PC distribution uses.
- apt-get install qemu
-Note: If your debian armel image crashes while fscking the partition, rebuild qemu from trunk.
-==Development PC: Format SD Card==
-You will need a 1GB SD card or greater, depending on the installation chosen :
- Standard System (without graphical environment) : ~455MB
- + Desktop environment (GNOME) : ~2.3GB
-Please note that installer download all packages before installing them, that's why you'll need more space disk.
-Starting with an empty SD card and using gparted/fdisk, create:
-MiB Primary Partition, fat32
- Leave remaining space for the Debian-Installer
-==Development PC: Preparation==
-Create a working directory to keep your files organized.
- mkdir debian-armel
- cd debian-armel/
- wget ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/initrd.gz
- wget ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-versatile
-==Development PC: Install Debian in QEMU==
-Quick Note: Debian Lenny is undergoing Beta/RC testing so these debian installers are currently way out of date, so it will tell you their are unavailable kernel modules, just ignore the question and continue. These modules will be provided later, with the provided linux-image deb.
-To install (ARM EABI) Debian inside QEMU:
- sudo qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-versatile -initrd initrd.gz -m 256 -hda /dev/sdX -append "root=/dev/ram mem=256M"
-Note: root/sudo access is required to access /dev/sdX directly (verify mmc card with fdisk -l)
-Partition disks, default settings should work for most: Guided - use the largest continuous free space
-[[Image:Beagleboarddebian-partitiondisk.png]]
-==Development PC: Running Debian in QEMU (Optional)==
-Note: This section is only useful for people with out a usb-network device for their beagle who would like to install additional applications, otherwise just skip to the next subsection to install your linux-kernel by copying files from your desktop pc to a SD card.
-As ext3 filesystem support is not included in kernel you will need an initrd, just copy the one installed in the SD card in /boot.
- sudo qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-versatile -initrd initrd.img-2.6.26-2-versatile -m 256 -hda /dev/sdX -append "root=/dev/sda2 mem=256M"
-Note: Time will be incorrect.
- sudo apt-get install ntpdate
- ntpdate pool.ntp.org
-Install default deb packages for linux-image.
- Stable  2.6.29
- wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lenny/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer44.1/linux-image-2.6.29-oer44.1_1.0lenny_armel.deb
- sudo dpkg -i *.deb
-Note: It's easier to download these straight to the sd card after you've mounted the SD card to copy uImage to the FAT partition.
-==Development PC: Linux Kernel Preparation ==
-Install uboot-mkimage utility
- sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage
-Remount SD card, Ubuntu remounts SD card like this:
- /media/vfat/ <fat32>
- /media/debian/ <ext3>
-Download Kernel-Image
-  cd /media/debian/home/<user>/
-  wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/lenny/v2.6.29-58cf2f1-oer44.1/linux-image-2.6.29-oer44.1_1.0lenny_armel.deb
-Extract linux-image's vmlinuz-*
+BeagleBoard/PandaBoard:
-  dpkg -x linux-image* ./temp
+ cd /opt/scripts/tools/graphics/
+  ./ti-omapdrm.sh
-Build uboot compatible image and copy to /media/disk/ <fat32 boot partition>
+BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black:
-  mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n "Linux" -d ./temp/boot/vmlinuz-*  /media/vfat/uImage

+ ./ti-tilcdc.sh
-Clean up
+== SGX Drivers ==
- rm -rfd temp
-Sync, umount Partitions and Install sd card in beagleboard
-== Beagleboard: Setup U-boot for boot ==
-Insert SD Card and power up Beagleboard.
-Using a terminal program, stop u-boot and add these commands:
- For Linux Kernel 2.6.29 and higher using DSS2
- setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
- or
- setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
- DVI Port
- setenv bootargs 'console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60'
- Serial Port
- setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro'
- saveenv
- boot
-You shall adapt the resolution to you screen as following :
+=== SGX BeagleBone/BeagleBone Black ===

+[[BeagleBoneBlack/SGX_%2B_Qt_EGLFS_%2B_Weston|A page is dedicated for the installation and use of the graphics accelerator]].
-The Beagleboard will reboot 3-4 times while the ext3 filesystem is repaired. (may have to remove power etc)

-==Debian on Beagleboard==
+Note, this section use to have a lot of details, but maintenance of the two wiki's became a pain, so for now on we will just link to my other pages:
-Debian on BeagleBoard uses the following configuration:
+== Beagle/Beagle xM ==
+ http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBoard
-* Console log = Serial Terminal
+== BeagleBone ==
-* User Console = HDMI port + usb (keyboard, mouse, etc).
+ http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone
-If you want to log in with the serial port, you will have to add to /etc/inittab
+== BeagleBone Black ==
-  S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS2
+ http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black
-And if you want to log in as root on the serial port, add ttyS2 to /etc/securetty.
+== Panda/Panda ES ==
+ http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/PandaBoard
-Note : the beagle board I have was not configured as USB host. I had to modify it to be able to use mouse and keyboards (see [http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#OTG]). I you do not want to do this, you'll have to install a Vnc server on the beagle to access desktop.

+Note, this only goes over "armel" -> "armel"... For users wishing to switch from "armel" -> "armhf" just re-install...
-==Notes==
+ sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
-#'fbdev' is normally *slow* since it completely relies on the system cpu to update the framebuffer.  Once the video processing core's driver is released this will no longer be an issue.
+  sudo sed -i -e "s/squeeze/wheezy/g" /etc/apt/sources.list
-# Debian/Gnome actually need the swap to run (up to 90Mo of swap space on my beagle with 128Mo RAM shipped on it) so that it's even slower when using the SD card (try using an external hdd disk).
+ sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install -y apt aptitude udev dpkg
