-------

-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use buildroot toolchain (http://buildroot.org/download.html) to build Caraboot. OpenWRT toolchain is known to generate broken binaries.
|
1) Build buildroot toolchain (http://buildroot.org)
|
||||||
To build suitable toolchain in buildroot's menuconfig select: MIPS big endian architecture (mips32 r2 variant), and GCC version - 4.7.x (other GCC versions untested, but may work)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Change Makefile's CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX variable to your buildroot path, for example:
|
Download:
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=~/build/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/mips-linux-
|
cd your_work_dir
|
||||||
|
git clone git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configure:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cd buildroot
|
||||||
|
make menuconfig
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
In Target Options select Target Architecture as MIPS (big endian) and Target Architecture Variant as mips 32r2.
|
||||||
|
In Toolchain select GCC Compiler version as gcc 4.7.x.
|
||||||
|
Save and exit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Build:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
run ```make```, binary will be in ```bin/carambola2_u-boot.bin```
|
2) Build Caraboot image
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Download:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cd your_work_dir
|
||||||
|
git clone https://github.com/8devices/Caraboot.git
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configure:
|
||||||
|
Open Caraboot Makefile and change CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX to your buildroot binary path, i.e ```CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=your_work_dir/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/mips-linux- ```
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
cd Caraboot
|
||||||
|
vi/nano/gedit Makefile
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Build:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
make
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The bootloader binary will be saved to ```bin/carambola2_u-boot.bin``` file.
|
||||||
|
You can now use this file to upgrade your bootloader on Carambola2 board (http://8devices.com/wiki/carambola:2:gettingstarted:bootloader-upgrade)
