Hi,
I have recently bought A10S-OLinuXino-MICRO development board and today
I successfully booted Tizen on it :)
A10S-OLinuXino-MICRO is an open hardware dev board with Allwinner A10S
ARM Cortex-A8 processor. Honestly I decided to buy exactly this board
only because it is manufactured by a company in my hometown. There are a
lot of similar boards on the market with Allwinner A-series processors
and in my opinion Tizen can be easily booted on them as well.
I built Linux kernel, u-boot and SPL from scratch using the linux-sunxi
repos. A patch and some minor modifications were needed to build them
exactly for this board model. After that I formatted a microSD card into
4 partitions and I took platform.img, data.img and UMS.img form Tizen
2.0 IVI alpha release for PandaBoard. I also had to forward the display
output to a HDMI monitor by setting an extra argument at the uEnv.txt
file. I'll create a step-by-step tutorial at Tizen Wiki with all
details.
Now I'll try to build Tizen 3.0 platform image from scratch through a
local build following this article:
eveloper-guide/creating-tizen-platform-image-scratch-through-local-build
My plan is to use the existing PandaBoard kickstart file. I haven't done
it before so any hints will be appreciated.
Another task on my TODO list is to buy a LCD touchscreen and to connect
it to the board as it will be more convenient for development & testing.
Btw at the document about PandaBoard it is said that 4 partitions are
needed but the fdisk example at section 4.5 creates only 2 partitions.
Is there a mistake at the document or am I missing something?
Best regards,
Leon
