$ mkdir -p beaglelfs/{sources,rootfs_install,boot_mnt,rootfs_mnt}
Download the latest i686 Binary TAR of the ARM GNU/Linux (glibc-based) Lite Toolchain:
$ tar xvfj arm-2011.09-70-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
$ export PATH=/path/to/arm-2011.09/bin:$PATH
$ cd /path/to/beaglelfs/sources/
$ git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/u-boot-am33x.git
$ cd u-boot-am33x
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- am335x_evm_config
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
This produces the TI first stage bootloader "MLO", and u-boot bootloader "u-boot.img".
$ cd /path/to/beaglelfs/sources/
$ git clone git://arago-project.org/git/projects/linux-am33x.git
$ cd linux-am33x
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- am335x_evm_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig
Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev
Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs
$ make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-unaligned-access uImage
(You may need to install the uboot-mkimage package or include
u-boot-am33x/tools in your path for the mkimage tool)
This produces the Linux kernel image arch/arm/boot/uImage.
$ make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-unaligned-access modules
$ sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mno-unaligned-access INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/path/to/beaglelfs/rootfs_install modules_install
This installs any kernel modules to the root file system temporary installation folder.
$ cd /path/to/beaglelfs/sources/
$ git clone git://busybox.net/busybox.git
$ cd busybox
$ git checkout remotes/origin/1_19_stable
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- defconfig
$ LDFLAGS="--static" make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- -j4
$ LDFLAGS="--static" make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- install
$ rsync -a _install/ /path/to/beaglelfs/rootfs_install/
This produces the statically-linked busybox and all of the symlinks
that let it multiplex multiple programs.
$ cd /path/to/beaglelfs/rootfs_install
Create Core Device files
$ mkdir dev
$ sudo mknod dev/console c 5 1

Create and Partition the Image
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=sdcard.img bs=1M count=128
$ echo "Cylinders: " `du -b sdcard.img | awk '{print int($1/255/63/512)}'`
$ fdisk sdcard.img
x for expert mode
h to set heads to 255
s to set sectors to 63
c to set cylinders to value above
r to return to normal mode
n for new partition: primary, number 1, default first sector, +16M size
t to set type of partition with code: c (W95 FAT32 LBA)
a to mark bootable partition number 1
n for new partition: primary, number 2, default first sector, default full size
w to write the partition table
Map block devices to the image
$ sudo modprobe loop
$ sudo losetup /dev/loop0 sdcard.img
$ sudo kpartx -av /dev/loop0
Format the boot and root partitions of the image
$ sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n "boot" /dev/mapper/loop0p1
$ sudo mkfs.ext3 -L "rootfs" /dev/mapper/loop0p2
Mount boot (FAT) and rootfs (ext3) partitions
$ cd /path/to/beaglelfs/
$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 boot_mnt
$ sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 rootfs_mnt
Copy TI bootloader, u-boot bootloader, kernel image to boot partition
$ sudo cp /path/to/beaglelfs/sources/u-boot-am33x/MLO boot_mnt/
$ sudo cp /path/to/beaglelfs/sources/u-boot-am33x/u-boot.img boot_mnt/
$ sudo cp /path/to/beaglelfs/sources/linux-am33x/arch/arm/boot/uImage boot_mnt/
$ sudo umount boot_mnt
Copy root filesystem and chown it to root
$ sudo rsync -a rootfs_install/ rootfs_mnt/
$ sudo chown -R root:root rootfs_mnt/*
$ sudo umount rootfs_mnt
Unassociate the loopback device
$ sudo kpartx -d /dev/loop0
$ sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
$ sudo dd if=sdcard.img of=/dev/sdcardblockdevice bs=1M
$ sudo rmmod ftdi_sio usbserial
$ sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0xa6d0
Observe the boot output in your favorite serial port terminal on /dev/ttyUSB0 (typically).

There are known issues with DNS functionality in statically-linked glibc programs (like busybox in this case), because libnss must be dynamically loaded. Building a uClibc toolchain and linking busybox against that would resolve this.
