Editing Linuxstamp mx27

== Main ==
This is a place holder for the Linuxstamp mx27 board. Details will be posted as they are available.

== Contact ==
Info will be posted when it's available, but you can contact me directly at pthomas8589 at gmail

== OpenOCD ==
OpenOCD has been in a pretty steady state of flux. For now just grab the current SVN:
 $ svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/openocd/trunk
Configure it:
 $ ./configure --enable-ft2232_libftdi --enable-maintainer-mode
Make it:
 $ make
Install it:
 # make install
Initialize openocd:
 # openocd -f interface/signalyzer.cfg -f board/imx27som.cfg
Open connection to OpenOCD
 $ telnet localhost 4444

== Redboot ==
Redboot is based on ecos. A good starting point is [http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html here]
First pull the installer
 $ wget --passive-ftp ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/ecos-install.tcl
Then run it, be sure to include the arm-elf tools as that's what the freescale version wants.
 $ ./ecos-install.tcl
It wants to run ecosenv.sh so set up the environment correctly. It says to stick it in .profile or .login. I think .bashrc will also work.
Install old compat-libstdc
 # yum install compat-libstdc++-3

Freescale has a version of ecos that they have patched to work with the imx27. First you need to download redboot_200719.tar.gz, that has both the base as well as the patches. to convert all the dos files to unix files use:
 $ find . -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;
Then you can patch the tree:
 $  bunzip2 -c ../patch-redboot-200719-base.bz2 | patch -p1
 $  bunzip2 -c ../patch-redboot-200719-mx27.bz2 | patch -p1
Next set the ECOS_REPOSITORY environment variable:
 $ export ECOS_REPOSITORY=/path_to_redboot/redboot_200719/src/ecos_20050912/packages/
Configure for imx27
 $ ecosconfig new mx27ads redboot
 $ ecosconfig import $ECOS_REPOSITORY/hal/arm/mx27/ads/current/misc/redboot_ROMRAM.ecm
 $ ecosconfig tree
And finally make:
 $ make
Now you should have redboot.bin under install/bin
