This page always refers to the latest BSP revision (including ancillary tools) according to the following table:

The BSP is available as a project ready to use with the PTXdist¹⁾ build system. As PTXdist runs on linux, first of all you need a development workstation (or a virtual machine) with a (preferably) recent Linux distribution installed. The distribution of your choice, however, may not have installed all required packages by default. Commonly missing packages (package names taken from Debian based systems) include:

Although not required by PTXdist, we also recommend to configure and run a tftp server (for image download / update) and an nfs server (for network mounted rootfs) on your development host.

Make sure the development host meets the Downloads page for URLs).

Extract the tarball ptxdist-2013.12.tar.bz2 and install as follows:

$ tar xvf ptxdist-2013.12.tar.bz2
$ cd ptxdist-2013.12
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

This will install PTXdist to /usr/local/lib by default. Afterwards please configure PTXdist with:

$ ptxdist setup 

 .config - PTXdist 2013.12

To personalise your PTXdist installation, please fill out:

• User (username and mail address)

Depending on your environment, the most important settings are:

• Proxies (ftp / http / hhtps proxies)
• Source Directories (path for archive of downloaded source packages (aka local package pool))

For further details on setup options, please see the PTXdist manual.

See download section.
By default the toolchain will get installed to /opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-<version>.

Follow chapter “Building a toolchain” in the PTXdist manual and keep in mind:

• When you are asked to run the command

  $ ptxdist select ptxconfigs/...

  select this ptxconfig: ptxconfigs/arm-cortexa8-linux-gnueabi_gcc-<version>_glibc-<version>_binutils-<version>_kernel-<version>-sanitized.ptxconfig (for SBCa335x)

• To build the toolchain project you should install the corresponding PTXdist version for the Toolchain (as told in the documentation).

The Toolchain normally is already setup in the BSP project. So you can move on to the next step.

Extract the package 0100.zip to any directory (e.g. /opt or /home):

$ cd /opt/projekte
$ tar -xvf .tar.gz
$ cd .0100
