General :: Configuring USB For BeagleBoard - Build The Kernel With USB Support ?
Mar 30, 2010
I have just started to work with BeagleBoard and built the Linux kernel (version 2.6.30.5) and download to the board and it start. I have also connected to the board over serial to Putty terminal.
Now I want to connect to the Beagle Board using USB instead of serial and I am looking for some info on how to do this.
My goal would be to connect to board over USB and then be able to:
* Download my own binary files/programs from PC over USB to BeagleBoard
* Communicate over USB instead of UART/Putty to get log and execute commands
Question:
How do I build the Linux kernel with USB support, meaning what settings should be ticked in menuconfig? Or is it already included?
How do I enable USB OTG in menu config?
I assume I would need some driver on my PC with Windows XP to connect to my BeagleBoard over USB. Were can I find this USB driver?
I am trying to install atheros AR5007EG on my toshiba laptop -i figured out that best way to install this wireless card is through madwifi -while configuring madwifi i get this error
I am posting the output of different commands so you can understand better -i manually tried to link the build directories to kernel-source which failed - i am not sure exactly what kernel source is and how i can link to kernel source -
I am building a minimized 6.2.2 linux kernel using slackware on a dinosaur of a computer: AMD Athlon +1700 Single Core processor, 1gig of DDR SDRAM. This is my first time compiling a linux kernel, so before I make any major mistakes, I could use some help in determining which filesystems I absolutely must enable support for. Ext2 is allready in.
I am trying to compile the kernel version 2.6.20-15 on my Linux 10.10 with 2.6.35-22 kernel. Additionally, this is my assignment.After I download kernel, extract it and create a new .config file for the new kernel I am trying to command;make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers.after the second command I get an error an it says "nothing to be done" but I expect to have some .deb files for the new kernel. In addition this I have added a new system call to the kernel 2.6.20-15.
How to build uimage from my kernel linux-2.6.10_mvl401 ,then need to port on my arm PXA 300 through TFTP . What all steps I require to do.In which configuration file i should make changes for ethernet for boot
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
AFAIK, in addition to implementing the standard C library, glibc provides wrappers for system calls, threading support, and basic application facilities. So because of that, glibc that will be used on my target system should be built based on the kernel version running on my target, right?
Based on the above, I am trying to build a glibc version for my target machine's kernel. However, I don't know to to build a glibc library for a target system and also where on the target's filesystem should be put? In which location Linux will start looking for the libraries required for a program to run (should I create an /etc/ld.so.conf file)?
Since new kernel 3.0 update I cannot rebuild vmware modules
Quote:
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all Unable to initialize kernel module configuration
how to do that. Where do I insert the "CONFIG_LOCALVERSION" line.
Quote:
Same here. This seems to be due to the kernel version being "3.0" instead of "3.0.0". Recompiling the Kernel (and all modules based on it, e.g. nvidia) with CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=".0-ARCH" allows me to compile the modules and run VMware.
A while back I compiled a custom kernel, 2.6.35. I forgot to add UDF support when configuring and compiling. Will I need to re-compile the kernel to get UDF support or is there some other way I can add it?
Work I've got 2 slackware 13.1 64 machines, and they work just fine: Basic installation, everything ' bog standard 'When in Dolphin or Konqueror, I can ' click ' on Network Services and all the other MS Window machines pop-up.
@Home I've got 2 slackware 13.1 64 machines, they don't work fine. Basic installation, everything ' bog standard '. When in Dolphin or Konqueror, I can 'click' on Network Services and 'KDE has been build without Zeroconf support' pops up in Konqueror or is displayed in Dolpin..
Is it my netwerk @ Home (with an old Windows Server in it) or is something missing in the installation? Under MS windows (from within a virtualbox, brigded network) both machines can browse the network just perfectly: I even got a XP machine 'joined' in the domain on the windows server). Clueless since a google on the error + slackware give me Zero. Zeroconf in the slackware forum give me some midly related
I installed the latest Debian on an Atom 525 rig, with GMA 3150 integrated graphics. I have a 16:9 full HD monitor connected to the rig, but the available resolutions are not 16:9, except for the first and (roughly) the last:
Now, 1920x1080 is the monitor's native resolution, but I really can't use it, stuff is just too small and not everything can be fixed by changing the system fonts' size. So I was wondering if there is a way to add some 16:9 resolutions, I'd look for 1600x900 and most of all 1280x720.I know that this usually gets done editing xorg.conf, but there's no such file in the /etc/X11 folder on my rig.
I compiled my own kernel with tun/tap and bridge support. Both modules load fine at boot time (I could read that in the dmesg output). Now I want to use it, and the /dev/net/tun node is not there, so my application gives that error. I'm trying to bridge openvpn connections. Is it possible that udevd is not doing his work?
PS: I'm on a WD MyBook World Ed NAS device. It's ARM, so I cross compiled the kernel from my debian linux machine. I also installed debian on the NAS.)
I want to add Sandy bridge support to linux 2.6.32.20.I have linux kernel 2.6.32.20 ,and Sandy bridge changes were added from kernel 2.6.33.4.Please can anyone suggest how to backport the kernel support for Sandy bridge.
I want to try encoding some videos with Dirac. I was told on another site that I have to build mencoder with Schroedinger support if I want to do this with OGMRip. I have installed the libschroedinger package installed. How do I buld it with mencoder?
I'm building my slackware system from a minimal set of packages. I've got X and fluxbox up and running, and I'm trying to "slack-build" feh which depends on imlib2 to set background wallpapers. The problem is trying to "feh" any image gives the error message:
Code: feh WARNING: wall2.jpg - No Imlib2 loader for that file format feh - No loadable images specified.
When using make menuconfig - under Device Drivers --> Character Devices --> there should be an option with the label "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" (CONFIG_JS_RTC).
The problem is that this option seems to only show up while using the menu method when other options are either enabled or disabled and I've entirely forgotten what should be what. I swear fingered it out once.
This is on an older computer (P4) so HPET is no good.
You would think that disabling the HPET option would enable the RTC option but that does not appear to be the case.
I understand I can just add the option to the .config file and avoid this hassle but I'm very interested to know how to make this work.
To show my appreciation I will do something nice for you such as call you a nice name or tell you that you are pretty (or ugly if that's what you prefer).
