N900 Imaging Computer
This is a special machine used to generate N900 filesystem images based on the official stock Nokia filesystem images. We compile a custom kernel on Debian because Fedora 12's nandsim is broken and debian stable is missing ubifs.
I have created the machine in this document and posted it to my people account. This is a VMWare Fusion VM Bundle that has not had the vmware tools installed.
Install OS
Download the Debian 5.0 i386 Netinstall disk
http://caesar.acc.umu.se/debian-cd/5.0.4/i386/iso-cd/debian-504-i386-netinst.iso
This document assumes you want to wipe the entire disk to install Debian. Boot from it and run through the installer, using the defaults except:
- Hostname: n900-imaging
- Timezone: Pacific
- Deselect the 'Desktop Environment' option
Configure OS
su - aptitude install build-essential openssh-server openssh-client rsync zlib1g-dev liblzo2-dev uuid-dev libncurses5-dev git-core mercurial aptitude build-dep linux-2.6
Build Linux Kernel
We are going to use Linux 2.6.33.5
mkdir linux-kernel cd linux-kernel wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.5.tar.bz2 tar jxf linux-2.6.33.5.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.33.5 make menuconfig #ENABLE THE FOLLOWING: # DeviceDrivers->MTD->NAND Device Support->Support for Nand Flash Sim. # FileSystems -> Misc. -> UBIFS File System Support make -j4 make modules -j4 make modules_install make install cd /boot mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.33.5 2.6.33.5 update-grub reboot #to pick up new image
Verify that your kernel is now running
uname -a
should show something like
Linux n900-imaging 2.6.33.5 #1 SMP Sat Jun 5 11:08:11 PDT 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
Building mtd-util tools
We use the mtd-utils package for creating our custom ubi images.
cd ~ git clone git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git git checkout -b working a8214921bdc7d78b75d133a37ff9f8d4ec919650 cd mtd-utils/ubi-utils make cp ubinize ~ cd ../mkfs.ubifs make cp mkfs.ubifs ~
