To install the Linux software, follow these steps:
Beijing Ruiva Information Technology Company Confidential

Beijing Ruiva Information Technology Co., Ltd. www.ruiva.com.cn

1) Log in with a user account on the host Linux workstation. 2) Perform the following commands to prepare a location for the Target Linux Software. For example:
host $ cd /home/<useracct> host $ mkdir workdir host $ cd workdir

3) Switch user to "root" on the host Linux workstation.

host $ su root

4) Insert and mount the DVEVM demonstration DVD, and copy the ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-rel.gz file from the mount directory to the /home/<useracct>/workdir directory. For example:
host $ mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 host $ cp /media/cdrom0/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-rel.gz ./

5) We suggest that you create a directory called

/home/<useracct>/workdir/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2 using

the following command. This will be the directory into which you install the software.
host $ mkdir ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2 host $ cd ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2

6) Unpack the ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-rel.gz (as root) by using the following commands:

host $ tar zxvf ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-rel.gz

3.2.2 Exporting a Shared File System for Target Access 1) Perform the following commands to prepare a location for the file system.
Beijing Ruiva Information Technology Company Confidential

Beijing Ruiva Information Technology Co., Ltd. www.ruiva.com.cn host $ cd ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-rel host $ mkdir -p workdir/filesys

2) Perform the following commands to create a copy of the target file system with permissions set for writing to the shared area.
host $ cd workdir/filesys host $ cp -a ../../montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/target/* ./ host $ chmod a+w opt

3) Use the vi /etc/exports command to edit the /etc/exports file on the host Linux workstation (not the exports file on the target file system). Add the following line for exporting the file system area, substituting your user name for <useracct>. Use the full path from root. /home/<useracct>/workdir/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2/ruiva-dm6446-dvsd k2-rel/workdir/filesys *(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,sync) Note: Make sure you do not add a space between the * and the ( in the above command. 4) Still as root, use the following commands to make the NFS server aware of the change to its configuration and to invoke an NFS restart.
host $ /usr/sbin/exportfs -av host $ /sbin/service nfs restart

5) Verify that the server firewall is turned off:

host $ /etc/init.d/iptables status

If the firewall is running, disable it:

host $ /etc/init.d/iptables stop

3.2.3 Compiling the Kernel 1) Perform the following commands to set the environment variables:
host$
export EVM_ROOT=/home/<useracct>/workdir/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2/ruiva-dm 6446-dvsdk2-rel

host$ export C6X_C_DIR_ROOT=$EVM_ROOT/cg6x_6_0_16 host$ export

C6X_C_DIR="$C6X_C_DIR_ROOT/include;$C6X_C_DIR_ROOT/lib"

host$
export PATH="$EVM_ROOT/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/bin:$EVM_ROOT/mo ntavista/pro/bin:$EVM_ROOT/montavista/common/bin:$PATH"

2) Perform the following commands to compile the kernel and copy the uImage to the /tftpboot directory:
host$ cd /home/<useracct>/workdir host$ cd ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-rel host$ cd linux-2.6.18_pro500 host$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm_v5t_ledavinci_dm644x_ruiva_defconfig

host$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm_v5t_le- uImage

3) Use the following command to copy the uImage to a place where Uboot can use TFTP to download it to the EVM. These commands assume you are using the default
Beijing Ruiva Information Technology Company Confidential

Beijing Ruiva Information Technology Co., Ltd. www.ruiva.com.cn

TFTP boot area, which is /tftpboot. If you use another TFTP root location, please change /tftpboot to your own TFTP root location. (Perform these commands as root or use a chown uImage command to get ownership of the file.)
host$ cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /tftpboot/ host$ chmod a+r /tftpboot/uImage

3.2.4 Building the DVSDK Software for the Target To place demo files in the /opt/dvsdk/dm6446 directory, you need to rebuild the DVSDK software. To do this, follow these steps: 1) Change directory to dvsdk_2_00_00_22.
host $ cd
/home/<useracct>/workdir/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2/ruiva-dm644 6-dvsdk2-rel/dvsdk_2_00_00_22

2) Use the vi Rules.make command to edit the Rules.make file in the dvsdk_2_00_00_22 directory as needed. Modify the following line for setting the Home variable.
HOME=/home/<useracct>/workdir/ruiva-dm6446-dvsdk2-v2/ruivadm6446-dvsdk2-rel

3) While in the same directory that contains Rules.make, use the following commands to build the

DVSDK demo applications and put the resulting binaries on the target file system.
host $ make clean host $ make host $ make install

3.3 Testing the Shared File System To test your NFS setup, follow these steps: 1) Get the IP address of your host Linux workstations as follows. Look for the IP address associated with the eth0 Ethernet port.
host $ /sbin/ifconfig

2) Open a terminal emulation window to connect to the EVM board via RS-232 using the instructions in Section 2.2. If you have a Windows workstation, you can use HyperTerminal. If you have a Linux workstation, you might use Minicom. (You may need to turn on linewrap.)

3) Power on the EVM board, and abort the automatic boot sequence by pressing a key in the console window (Section 2.2).

4) Set the following environment variables in the
