Build EDK2 for Samsung Origen

1. The EDK2 Samsung repository is currently located in a third-party repository. To get the sources:

svn co https://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2/trunk/edk2 edk2 --username guest
cd $(WORKROOT)/edk2
svn co https://edk2-fatdriver2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2-fatdriver2/trunk/FatPkg FatPkg --username guest
git clone git://github.com/girishks/Origen-EDK-II-Package.git
mv Origen-EDK-II-Package/SamsungPlatformPkg .

2. Apply the latest patches:

patch -p1 < 0001-SamsungPlatformPkg-ExynosPkg-Do-not-initialize-the-T.patch 
patch -p1 < 0002-SamsungPlatformPkg-TimerDxe-Do-not-overwrite-Timers-.patch
patch -p1 < 0003-SamsungPlatformPkg-ExynosPkg-Fixed-UART-Rx-Ready-Fla.patch
patch -p1 < 0004-SamsungPlatformPkg-OrigenBoardPkg-Update-Linux-infor.patch
patch -p1 < 0005-SamsungPlatformPkg-OrigenBoardPkg-Removed-deprecated.patch
patch -p1 < 0006-SamsungPlatformPkg-SmdkBoardPkg-Removed-memory-initi.patch
patch -p1 < 0007-SamsungPlatformPkg-SmdkBoardLib-Fixed-GCC-build-issu.patch

3. Add support for one of the supported toolchains. See ArmPkg-Toolchain

4. Build EDK2:

. edksetup.sh
make -C BaseTools
build -a ARM -p SamsungPlatformPkg/OrigenBoardPkg/OrigenBoardPkg-Exynos.dsc -t ARMLINUXGCC -b DEBUG

5. Get the Linaro Linux distribution:

• Go on the Samsung Origen Linaro webpage: http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/ubuntu/leb-origen/. Download the Origen HwPack: hwpack_linaro-leb-origen_20120123-1_armel_supported.tar.gz
• Download the minimal Linaro File System: http://releases.linaro.org/12.01/ubuntu/oneiric-images/nano/linaro-o-nano-tar-20120123-1.tar.gz

6. Install Linaro image Creator either from the tarball or the Ubuntu package.

• Getting from Linaro website:

wget http://launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools/trunk/0.4.8/+download/linaro-image-tools-0.4.8.tar.gz
tar xzf linaro-image-tools-0.4.8.tar.gz
cd $(WORKROOT)/linaro-image-tools-0.4.8/
sudo apt-get install parted dosfstools uboot-mkimage python-argparse python-dbus python-debian python-parted qemu-arm-static btrfs-tools command-not-found

Add linaro-media-create path to the PATH environment variable

• Getting from the Ubuntu package:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools

7. Create the SD card. Replace the '/dev/sdX' with the device node mapped to your MMC/SC card.

sudo linaro-media-create --mmc /dev/sdX --dev origen --binary linaro-o-nano-tar-20120123-1.tar.gz --hwpack hwpack_linaro-leb-origen_20120123-1_armel_supported.tar.gz

8. Replace u-boot by the EDK2 firmware you created in step 4:

sudo dd if=Build/OrigenBoard-Exynos/DEBUG_ARMLINUXGCC/FV/ORIGENBOARD_EFI.fd of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=65

See this page https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Origen/Setup for more information about the command.

9. Insert the newly created SD card into the Origen SD card slot and power up the platform.
