# MX-README

DESCRIPTION
===========

# First step
-> The development kit can be controlled using various interfaces. Most popular
-> is serial console since this interface will ensure full control over kit. 
-> Serial console allows user control over booted system as well as altering 
-> bootloader environment.

# Bootloader developing
-> (TODO)

# Kernel developing
-> Kernel developing covers necessary steps which will allow linux kernel 
-> modification and compilation.

# Application developing
-> Application developing covers necessary steps which will allow custom
-> application compilation.

# Full development environment
-> Following this steps will allow kernel as well as application development.
-> The kernel image will be loaded and demo file-system will be mounted over 
-> ethernet network.

# First step
============
1. MX-SERIAL		(serial terminal program)

# Bootloader developing
=======================
1. MX-SERIAL		(serial terminal program)
2. MX-JTAG		(JTAG)
3. MX-BAREBOX		(bootloader source code)

# Kernel developing
===================
1. MX-SERIAL		(serial terminal program)
2. MX-TFTP		(trivial ftp server)
3. MX-CCOMPILER		(arm compiler)
4. MX-KERNEL		(kernel source code)
Altering bootloader environment:
(copy and paste these lines to the bootloader prompt "barebox:/ ")

eth0.ipaddr=192.168.0.123
eth0.netmask=255.255.255.0
eth0.gateway=192.168.0.1
eth0.serverip=192.168.0.122

bootargs='console=ttymxc0,115200 rootfstype=ubifs ubi.mtd=3 root=ubi0:rootfs-vmx25 video=imxfb:WVGA-LCD'

tftp vmx25/zImage-k35 zImage-k35
bootz zImage-k35


# Application developing
========================
1. MX-SERIAL		(serial terminal program)
2. MX-NFS		(network file system server)
3. MX-CCOMPILER		(arm compiler)
4. MX-HELLOWORLD	(simple demo application)
Altering bootloader environment:
(copy and paste these lines to the bootloader prompt "barebox:/ ")

eth0.ipaddr=192.168.0.123
eth0.netmask=255.255.255.0
eth0.gateway=192.168.0.1
eth0.serverip=192.168.0.122

bootargs='console=ttymxc0,115200 ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.0.122:/tftpboot/rootfs-mx25,nolock'

bootz /dev/nand0.kernel.bb


# Full development environment (recommended)
============================================
1. MX-SERIAL		(serial terminal program)
2. MX-TFTP		(trivial ftp server)
3. MX-NFS		(network file system server)
4. MX-CCOMPILER		(arm compiler)
5. MX-KERNEL		(kernel source code)
6. MX-HELLOWORLD	(simple demo application)
