1Introduction

This document will describe in detail the procedures for SDK compilation, booting a Linux kernel and

mounting a root file system on the Dual T4240MFCS. The Communication Server product will be built

with Dual T4240 which is a communication processor from Freescale. The T4240 QorIQ multicore

processor combines 12 dual-threaded e6500 Power Architecture® processor cores for a total of 24 threads

with high-performance datapath acceleration logic and network and peripheral bus interfaces required for

networking, telecom/datacom, data center, wireless infrastructure, and mil/aerospace applications.

A Dual T4240 based Communication server with Scale-out option, offering a powerful unified

communication solution with up to 80G of external network connectivity, SRIO inter-chip and external

connectivity. External SRIO interface helps to (scale-out) expand system with similar system through

Internal SRIO switch.

2Overview

The following files will be released with t4240mfcs.

1. U-boot, linux kernel and root files for T4240mfcs included in the below mentioned binaries:

QorIQ-SDK-V1.6-SOURCE-20140619-yocto.iso –ISO to build the SDK.

u-boot-with-spl-pbl.bin - U-boot Binary file that could be used to upgrade the U-boot with SD card.

u-boot.bin –U-boot binary file that could be used to upgrade the U-boot for NOR Flash.

fsl_fman_ucode_t4240_r2.0_106_4_10.bin –fman ucode binary to configure the fman interface.

fsl-image-core-t4240mfcs-20150304072707.rootfs.tar.gz - root file system for t4240 mfcs.

uImage - Linux kernel for t4240mfcs.

t4240mfcs.dtb –linux device tree blob (binaries) for t4240mfcs.

Prerequisites2.1

2.1.1 Host requirement

To properly boot a board host machine must meet the following requirements:

1. Make sure that SDK1.6 is compiled as per the changes required in MFCS project.

2. Modern (latest) GNU/Linux Distribution.

a. Ubuntu (Most recent release or LTS)

VVDN_T4MFCS_Scaleout_User_Manual Rev. A0-03

CONFIDENTIAL

3. An internet connection on the Development Host.

4. Root or sudo permission on the Development Host.

5. A copy of the Linux Kernel (uImage) and Root File System (rootfs.tar.gz) for the Target Board

that is compiled using SDK 1.6. These are found in the output directory of SDK build, or in the

directory build_t4240mfcs_release/tmp/deploy/images/t4240mfcs on the command line.

6. An available serial port on your Development Host.

2.1.2 Target requirements

To boot the t4240mfcs board we need the following items:

T4240MFCS Board

Custom Console cables

Ethernet Cable

ScaleOut Add On card

Once we have all the above mentioned components proceed with the following steps:

1. Connect the serial console port of the board to the serial port of host using the custom console

cables on both server1 and server2.

2. SD cards for booting the images.

3. Connect the power supply to the board.

2.1.2.1 Preparing the Target

1. Start minicom on your host machine in configuration mode. As root:

# sudo minicom -s -w

2. A menu of configuration should appear. Select the Serial port setup option, and press Enter.

3. Verify that the listed serial port is the same one that is connected to the target board. If it is not, press

A, and enter the correct device. This is /dev/ttyS0 on most Linux distributions.

4. Set the Bps/Par/Bits option by pressing the letter E and using the next menu to set the appropriate

values. You press the key that corresponds to the value 115200, and then press Enter.

5. Set Hardware flow control to No using the F key.

6. Set Software flow control to No using the G key.

7. Press Enter to return to the main configuration menu, and then press Esc to exit this menu.

8. Reset the board, and wait for a moment. If you do not see output from the board, press Enter several

times until you see the prompt. If you do not see any output from the board, and have verified that

the serial terminal connection is setup correctly, contact your board vendor.

Configuring the Network Interface2.2

2.2.1 Finding and Changing the MAC Address

The MAC address on the T4240MFCS is set by the ethaddr environment variable in U-Boot.

If ethaddr is not set, it can be set using the setenv command.

Example

setenv ethaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55

The MAC Address can be found using the printenv command in U-Boot.

Example

printenv

Setting up TFTP

2.3

1. Edit the xinetd.conf file

oOn Ubuntu, edit /etc/xinetd.conf and add the following lines just above the line

that reads include dir /etc/xinetd.d.

service tftp

{

socket_type = dgram

protocol = udp

wait = yes

user = root

server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd

server_args = -s /tftpboot

disable = no

}

2. Create the /tftpboot folder if it does not exist:

mkdir /tftpboot

3. Copy the kernel image to the /tftpboot directory:

cp /path/to/kernel/image/uImage-t4240mfcs.bin /tftpboot
