playing around with my udoo quad on my sick weekend

$ apt-get install ncurses-dev
mmm, ok, so thats a 3.0.35 ancient thing
lets go get
root@imx6-qsdl:/data# git clone --depth 1 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stab
le.git
and see what happens
#probably just brings in things that are not needed
apt-get install kernel-package
#3.11 needs 'bc'
apt-get install bc
mmm, apt-get install kexec didn't help, trying the bleed version from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git
mmm, need
apt-get install u-boot-tools

mmm, need

so i can
make uImage
aha, there's a dtbs commited recently to the arm tree, so I'll have to go clone a whole new kernel tree
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/269270
http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-udoo-Add-initial-support-for-mx6q-udoo-board-td164161.html
so trying
git clone https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/shawnguo/linux-2.6.git;a=summary
AAAARGH
I need the dtc compiler - see http://xillybus.com/tutorials/device-tree-zynq-1
git clone git://www.jdl.com/software/dtc.git dtc
for which i need flex&bison
apt-get install flex bison
make dtc
ln -s /data/dtc/dtc scripts/dtc/dtc (in the linux kernel dir...)
root@imx6-qsdl:/data/linaro-shawnguo (for-next)# make imx6q-udoo.dtb
DTC arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-udoo.dtb
AAARGH again!
(for-next)# /usr/local/sbin/kexec --dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-udoo.dt -l arch/arm/boot/uImage -append="root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 mem=768M arm_freq=996"
imx6q-udoo.dtb imx6q-udoo.dts
root@imx6-qsdl:/data/linaro-shawnguo (for-next)# /usr/local/sbin/kexec --dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q-udoo.dtb -l arch/arm/boot/uImage -append="root=/dev/mmcb
lk0p1 mem=768M arm_freq=996"
DTB too large!
Cannot load arch/arm/boot/uImage
ok, so maybe i have to work out how to build the dtc in the kernel source?
oooo, http://www.cadence.com/Community/blogs/sd/archive/2013/10/09/combining-the-linux-device-tree-and-kernel-image-for-arm.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_med
ium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+cadence/community/blogs/sd+%28Cadence+System+Design+and+Verification+Blogs%29&sf18256790=1
maybe i can just use that to append the dts?
---------------------
TODO:
1. set up a PXE boot docker image (mmm, so dhcp, dns, tftp, just need to cfg and go?)
2. or not - build something similar that uses kexec.. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kexec/index.html
