Here we take ROM-5420 as an example

We want to change debug port from UART1 to UART2

+       imx_iomux_v3_setup_multiple_pads(uart2_pads, ARRAY_SIZE(uart2_pads));
}

After re-compile u-boot and replace , you may be need to clear u-boot env to make kernel debug message output from uart2

env default -a
env save
reset

Note(in rootfs)

Due to /etc/init.d/rc_mxc.S only get ttymxc0~ttymxc3 from u-boot parameter If you want to change to ttymxc4 and so on, you need to modify this file first /etc/init.d/rc_mxc.S

if grep -sq ttymxc0 /proc/cmdline; then
        /sbin/getty -L ttymxc0 115200 vt100
elif grep -sq ttymxc1 /proc/cmdline; then
        /sbin/getty -L ttymxc1 115200 vt100
elif grep -sq ttymxc2 /proc/cmdline; then
        /sbin/getty -L ttymxc2 115200 vt100
elif grep -sq ttymxc3 /proc/cmdline; then
        /sbin/getty -L ttymxc3 115200 vt100
elif grep -sq ttymxc4 /proc/cmdline; then

Fonts

Chinese Font

The following operations demonstrate how to install Chinese font on Yocto Linux (RSB-4410 with 4410A1LIV6000).

get the free Chinese font "WenQuanYi Micro Hei" from [SourceForge] and extract the tarball
put the wqy-microhei.ttc to /usr/share/fonts/ttf, then execute the following commands

 $ ln -s /usr/share/fonts/ttf/wqy-microhei.ttc /usr/lib/fonts/
 $ fc-cache -fv

use the the following command to check if the font is recognized.

 $ fc-list

set the Chinese locale

install the suitable locale if needed

 $ rpm -ivh locale-base-zh-tw-2.21-r0.cortexa9hf_vfp_neon.rpm glibc-binary-localedata-zh-tw-2.21-r0.cortexa9hf_vfp_neon.rpm

Linux Kernel

Get kernel configs from running OS

You can get the .config file in running Linux OS by the following command.

# zcat /proc/config.gz > current.config

Furthermore, this feature is enabled by CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC.

Debug kernel panic and oops

To enable kernel symbols & debug information, you have to turn on these options and re-build kernel image. Just remember to keep the vmlinux & System.map files for debugging. They should be located at kernel root folder.

CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED is not set

Here is an example of Oops case.

1. Check the PC (Program Counter) to find out where crash occurs.

PC is at dac_get_volsw+0x60/0x74

2. Grep dac_get_volsw() in System.map and get the symbol name address

$ cd <kernel root folder>
$ grep dac_get_volsw System.map
80558e08 t dac_get_volsw

Note: You can find the program counter is equaled to the sum of function entry address & offset.

pc : [<80558e68>] = 80558e08 + 0x60

3. Run addr2line to read the exact line number in source code.

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-addr2line -f -e vmlinux 80558e68
dac_get_volsw
/home/root/Projects/Linux/fsl-yocto-3.14.52_1.1.0/linux-imx/sound/soc/codecs/sgtl5000.c:335

4-1. In alternative way, you can run objdump to get the disassembly and source code mapping.

$ arm-linux-gnueabi-objdump -DS vmlinux > kernel.objdump

Note: This step may take very long time to generate the dump file. So, maybe you can stop it, once you can find the function symbols in the file.

4-2. Find dac_get_volsw() in kernel.objdump, and check the pc address [<80558e68>]. Then, you can find the problem occurs at the same line of source code.

80558e08 <dac_get_volsw>:

Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS)

CPUFreq & OPP

CPUFreq is a feature in Linux kernel to allow users to change the clock speed of the CPUs. It can save battery power, because the lower the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. Different SoC vendors should implement their own mapping table for CPU frequency and voltage pairs. These pairs that the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs.

Below are OPP tables for each platform:

NXP i.MX6 Quad/Dual

CPU Frequency (kHz)	Voltage (uV)
1200000 (*)	1275000
996000 (*)	1250000
852000 (*)	1250000
792000	1175000
396000	975000

(*) The highest frequency depends on the CPU types (08/10/12 which means 800MHz, 1GHz, and 1.2GHz respectively). Now most our projects are 1GHz.

NXP i.MX6 Dual Lite/Solo

CPU Frequency (kHz)	Voltage (uV)
996000	1250000
792000	1175000
396000	1150000

TI AM335x

CPU Frequency (kHz)	Voltage (uV)
1000000	1325000
800000	1260000
720000	1200000
600000	1100000
300000 (*)	1100000

(*) We disable this frequency after V1.140.

TI AM57xx

CPU Frequency (kHz)	Voltage (uV)
1500000	1210000
1176000	1160000
1000000	1060000

Qualcomm APQ8016

CPU Frequency (kHz)	Voltage (uV)
1209600	1350000
1152000	1350000
1094400	1350000
998400	1350000
800000	1150000
533330	1150000
400000	1050000
200000	1050000

CPU Governor

In order to offer dynamic frequency scaling, Linux kernel provides a feature named "cpufreq governors". There are 6 modes in recent version.

Governor	Description
performance	Set the CPU to the highest frequency
powersave	Set the CPU to the lowest frequency
userspace	Allows the user to set the CPU to a specific frequency by making a sysfs file "scaling_setspeed" available in the CPU-device directory.
ondemand	Sets the CPU depending on the current usage.
conservative	Much like the "ondemand" governor, sets the CPU depending on the current usage. It differs in behavior in that it gracefully increases and decreases the CPU speed rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load on the CPU.
interactive	Sets the CPU speed depending on usage, similar to "ondemand" and "conservative" governors, but with a different set of configurable behaviors. It's is designed for latency-sensitive, interactive workloads.

For more CPU frequency settings, you can check the path below.

$ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/
affected_cpus     cpuinfo_transition_latency     scaling_cur_freq  scaling_min_freq
cpuinfo_cur_freq  related_cpus                   scaling_driver    scaling_setspeed
cpuinfo_max_freq  scaling_available_frequencies  scaling_governor  stats
cpuinfo_min_freq  scaling_available_governors    scaling_max_freq

For example, you can list the available governor, and know current governor.

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
interactive conservative userspace powersave ondemand performance

$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
ondemand

You can change to new governor.

$ echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
performance

In ondemand, interactive or conservative mode, you can configure further.

$ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand
ignore_nice_load  powersave_bias        sampling_rate      up_threshold
io_is_busy        sampling_down_factor  sampling_rate_min

$ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive
above_hispeed_delay  boostpulse_duration  io_is_busy       timer_rate
boost                go_hispeed_load      min_sample_time  timer_slack
boostpulse           hispeed_freq         target_loads

$ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/conservative

Yocto

In this section, we share some tips to use & modify BB files and related configurations for Yocto.

How to delete temporary workspace after build process

By default, the build system preserves the temporary files under the ${TMPDIR}/work directory of each recipe for inspection and possible debugging purposes. If you would rather have these files deleted to save disk space as the build progresses, you can enable rm_work by adding the following to your local.conf file, which is found in the Build Directory.

INHERIT += "rm_work"

To exclude some recipes from having their work directories deleted by rm_work, you can add the names of the recipe or recipes you are working on to the RM_WORK_EXCLUDE variable, which can also be set in your local.conf file. Here is an example:

RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "busybox glibc"

How to get multi-sources from GIT server

You can assign a name to distinguish the different GIT URIs, and define different destsuffix to save them respectively. Furthermore, to override SRCREV with the name, you can assign different commit id for each GIT branch.

SRC_URI = " \

git://git.allseenalliance.org/gerrit/core/alljoyn.git

protocol=https;branch=${GIT_BRANCH};name=router;destsuffix=git/core/alljoyn \git://git.allseenalliance.org/gerrit/services/base.git

protocol=https;branch=${GIT_BRANCH};name=services;destsuffix=git/services/base \ file: //modify_flags_for_yocto.patch" SRCREV_router = "0d71b216bb3a3cadc615c3eda6f8200093c5e117" SRCREV_services = "403cda579242701d42d2d7c0da308d63a8f46070"

Skip QA check

You can skip the specific QA check for your packages. For details, check the insane.bbclass bbclass in Yocto Project Reference Manual.

INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so"

Create BB file to install pre-built SO binaries

Below is an example to add SO binaries into your image. You may need to modify the blue items for your make install path & library name.

SRC_URI = "file://test.tar.gz"

S = "${WORKDIR}/test"

do_install() {
    install -d ${D}/usr/lib
    cp -axr ${S}/lib*.* ${D}/usr/lib/
}

# Avoid package splitting into run-time and debug components
 INHIBIT_PACKAGE_DEBUG_SPLIT = "1"
# Avoid QA Error for already-stripped
 INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"
# List the files for Package
 FILES_${PN} += "/usr/lib"
# Put all SO files in main rpm package
 FILES_SOLIBSDEV = ""
 INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so"
# Set alias name to satisfy runtime dependencies
 RPROVIDES_${PN} = "libtest-1.00.so"

Install Node-RED packages

For Node-RED package installation, you can refer to the example below. Please note this example is based on the imyller's meta-nodejs layer for Node.js infrastructure.

SRC_URI =  "

git://github.com/ADVANTECH-Corp/node-red-contrib-alljoyn.git

protocol=git" SRCREV = "677333b1ed1a26a966c32d98af073d0b9a2b9088" S = "${WORKDIR}/git" # Inherit NPM class inherit npm-install-global # Do node-gyp rebuild in do_install() phase NPM_INSTALL_FLAGS = "--unsafe-perm" # Skip QA check INSANE_SKIP_${PN} = "staticdev"

RT-Patch

Description

Only support to patch patch_4.1.15_rt18_patch files on i.MX6 Liunx Yocto 2.1.

Download file: File:RT Patch.zip

Linux OS version: Yocto 2.1 (Krogoth, L4.1.15_2.0.0_ga)

Patch patch_4.1.15_rt18_patch files to kernel code

Implementation Steps

Set up the compiler environment. You can refer following URL to install tool chain

Setting_up_SDK

Assuming the installation tool chain position is as follows

/opt/poky/2.1/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

Generate kernel image (zImage)

Step 1: Enter the directory of kernel source code

$ cd linux-imx6/

Step 2: Patch two patch files to kernel code

$ patch -p1 -i 0001-patch-4.1.15-rt18.patch
$ patch -p1 -i 0002-add-defconfig-and-fix-compiler-failed-and-fix-error.patch

Step 3: Initialize the building environment

$ source /opt/poky/2.1/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

Step 4: Set the configuration of kernel

$ make imx_v7_adv_defconfig

Step 5: Build kernel image

$ make -j 4 zImage

After building kernel image, it will be generated kernel image (zImage) in "arch/arm/boot"

Step 6: Copy kernel image (zImage) to USB disk

Insert the USB disk to the device and boot on the device

After login the device, enter to USB disk directory. For Example:

$ cd /run/media/sda1

Remove kernel image (zImage) from eMMC

$ rm /run/media/mmcblk0p1/zImage
$ sync

Copy kernel image (zImage) to eMMC

$ cp zImage /run/media/mmcblk0p1/
$ sync

Restart the device, the kernel image has RT feature.

Real-Time Kernel Performance

cyclictest is a realtime benchmark tool. It can determine the realtime performance of your new preempt-rt patched kernel. For more detail about cyclictest, please refer below link

Cyclictest Link URL

I provide cyclictest test tool for i.MX6 in RT_Patch_and_Test_Tool.zip file

Copy cyclictest test tool to the device

Below command is an example of using cyclictest

$ ./cyclictest -p 90 -t5 -n

The snapshot results show performance comparisons of non-RT patch and RT patch. The final column displays the maximum latency of real-time task.

Linux_Yocto_4.1.15 (Non real-time patch)

Linux_Yocto_4.1.15-rt18 (real-time patch)

The RT kernel better performance than non-RT kernel in above results.

-* prerequisites for NFS server (e.g. ip: 172.22.15.145)
+CPUFreq is a feature in Linux kernel to allow users to change the clock speed of the CPUs. It can save battery power, because the lower the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes. Different SoC vendors should implement their own mapping table for CPU frequency and voltage pairs. These pairs that the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or OPPs.
+Below are OPP tables for each platform:
+'''NXP i.MX6 Quad/Dual'''
+{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; width: 300px;"
+|-
+| CPU Frequency (kHz)
+| Voltage (uV)

+==== <span style="color:#0070c0">CPU Governor</span> ====
+In order to offer dynamic frequency scaling, Linux kernel provides a feature named "cpufreq governors". There are 6 modes in recent version.
+{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left;"
+|-
+| '''Governor'''
+| '''Description'''
+|-
+| ''performance''
+| Set the CPU to the <span style="color:#0000FF;">highest frequency</span>
+|-
+| ''powersave''
+| Set the CPU to the <span style="color:#0000FF;">lowest frequency</span>
+|-
+| ''userspace''
+| Allows the user to set the CPU to a <span style="color:#0000FF;">specific frequency</span> by making a sysfs file "scaling_setspeed" available in the CPU-device directory.
+|-
+| ''ondemand''
+| Sets the CPU depending on the <span style="color:#0000FF;">current usage</span>.
+|-
+| ''conservative''
+| Much like the "ondemand" governor, sets the CPU depending on the <span style="color:#0000FF;">current usage</span>. It differs in behavior in that it <u>gracefully increases and decreases</u> the CPU speed rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load on the CPU.
+|-
+| ''interactive''
+| Sets the CPU speed depending on <span style="color:#0000FF;">usage</span>, similar to "ondemand" and "conservative" governors, but with <u>a different set of configurable behaviors</u>. It's&nbsp;is designed for latency-sensitive, interactive workloads.

 In this section, we share some tips to use & modify BB files and related configurations for Yocto.
-===How to delete temporary workspace after build process===
-By default, the build system preserves the temporary files under the '''${TMPDIR}/work''' directory of each recipe for inspection and possible debugging purposes. If you would rather have these files deleted to save disk space as the build progresses, you can enable rm_work by adding the following to your '''local.conf file''', which is found in the Build Directory.

   INHERIT += "rm_work"
 To exclude some recipes from having their work directories deleted by rm_work, you can add the names of the recipe or recipes you are working on to the RM_WORK_EXCLUDE variable, which can also be set in your local.conf file. Here is an example:
   RM_WORK_EXCLUDE += "busybox glibc"
-===How to get multi-sources from GIT server===

-You can assign a '''name''' to distinguish the different GIT URIs, and define different '''destsuffix''' to save them respectively.
-Furthermore, to override SRCREV with the '''name''', you can assign different commit id for each GIT branch.
