Chapter 3 3Software Functionality This chapter introduces the Linux operating system on the ROM- 1210 platform.


The ROM-1210 platform is an embedded system with Linux kernel 2.6.35 operating system as default. Its major functions have already included all system-required shell commands and drivers for ROM-1210 platform. Advantech Linux package does not offer developing environment, you can develop it under an Ubuntu environment. There are three major boot components for Linux, “u-boot.bin”, “uImage” and “File System”. The “u-boot.bin” is for initial peripheral hardware parameter. The “uImage” is the Linux kernel image, and the “File System” is for Linux O.S. used. The system will not boot into Linux environment successfully if one of these files is not exist on booting media (SD storage card or onboard flash). The purpose of this chapter is to get you going with developing software for the ROM-1210 on a Linux development host only. Note! All instructions in this guide are for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. At this time, it is the only supported Linux host distribution for development. Note! The “u-boot.bin” is placed on SPI NOR flash of ROM-1210 as default.

3.1 Package Content

There are two kinds of Linux package for ROM-1210. One is for making Linux system SD storage card, and another is source code package.

3.1.1 Package for Making Linux System SD Storage Card

ROM-1210 supports booting from SD storage card. You can use this package to make the Linux system SD storage card, which contains mkmmc-linux.sh, u-boot.bin, uImage and rootfs folder.

Figure 3-1 Contents of package for making Linux system SD storage card

The description of ROM-1210_Linux_system_SD package contents:

- mkmmc-linux.sh � A script to make the Linux system SD card quickly.

- u-boot.bin �U-boot image

- uImage � Linux kernel image

- rootfs � Root file system (include “mk_inand” folder) Note! Please contact with your Advantech contact window if you need it.

3.1.2 Source Code Package

The ROM-1210 source code package contains many software components which are accessed by ROM-1210 products. Some are developed by Advantech while others are developed by the open source community. This package contains seven main folders, “cross_compiler”, “image”, “logo”, “mk_inand”, “rootfs”, “scripts”, and “source”.

Figure 3-2 Contents of source code package

The contents of ROM-1210_Linux_Source_Code package are listed as below:

- “cross_compiler” � This folder contains source code for cross compiler.

- “image” �This folder contains the uImage, and the script for making Linux system media automatically.

- “logo” �This folder contains Advantech logo.

- “mk_inand” �Linux system files for onboard flash/SATA disk booting used.

(Including mkmmc-linux.sh/mksata-linux.sh, u-boot.bin, uImage, sfdisk.)

- “rootfs” �This folder contains source code for Linux file system

- “scripts” �This folder contains scripts for configure system and compile images automatically.

- “source” �This folder contains source code for Linux kernel image

3.1.2.1 Cross Compiler

You can use this cross compiler to compiler the uImage and the applications. (gcc version is 4.4.4_09_06_2010)

3.1.2.2 Image

This folder includes these files.

- mkmmc-linux.sh � A script to make the Linux system SD card quickly.

- u-boot.bin �U-boot image


- uImage � Linux kernel image

And the “uImage” is compiled from Chapter 3.1.2.5.

3.1.2.3 Rootfs (Root File System)

The Linux root file system could be viewed as a tree structure. The tree of the file system starts at the trunk or slash, indicated by a forward slash (/). This directory, containing all underlying directories and files, is also called the root directory or "the root" of the file system.

Directories that are only one level below the root directory are often preceded by a slash, to indicate their position and prevent confusion with other directories that could have the same name. When starting with a new system, it is always a good idea to take a look in the root directory. Below are the main folders which “rootfs” already contains:

- bin �Common programs, shared by the system, system administrator and users.

- boot �The startup files and the kernel. In some recent distributions also grub data. Grub is the GRand Unified Boot loader and is an attempt to get rid of the many different boot-loaders we know today.

- dev �Contains references to all the CPU peripheral hardware, which are represented as files with special properties.

- etc �Most important system configuration files are in /etc, this directory contains data similar to those in the Control Panel in Windows

- home �Home directories of the common users.

- lib �Library files, includes files for all kinds of programs needed by the system and the users.

- lost+found �Every partition has a lost+found in its upper directory. Files that were saved during failures are here.

- mnt �Standard mount point for external file systems.

- opt �Typically contains extra and third party software.

- proc �A virtual file system containing information about system resources. More information about the meaning of the files in proc is obtained by entering the command man proc in a terminal window. The file proc.txt discusses the virtual file system in detail.

- root �The administrative user's home directory. Mind the difference between /, the root directory and /root, the home directory of the root user.

- sbin �Programs for use by the system and the system administrator.

- tmp �Temporary space for use by the system, cleaned upon reboot, so doesn’t use this for saving any work!

- usr �Programs, libraries, documentation etc. for all user-related programs.

- var �Storage for all variable files and temporary files created by users, such as log files, the mail queue, the print spooler area, space for temporary storage of files downloaded from the Internet.

3.1.2.4 Scripts

The scripts developed by Advantech will help you configure your system or build the images in an efficient way. There are “setenv.sh”, “cfg_kernel.sh” and “mk_kernel.sh” with descriptions listed as below:

- setenv.sh � A script to setup the developing environment quickly.

- cfg_kernel.sh � A script to configure the kernel building setup quickly.

- mk_kernel.sh � A script to build the kernel(uImage) and copy the “uImage” to “image” folder after building.

- cfg_uboot.sh � A script to configure the u-boot building setup quickly.

- mk_uboot.sh � A script to build the u-boot(u-boot.bin) and copy the “u-boot.bin” to “image” and “mk_inand” folders after building.

3.1.2.5 Source

The source folder contains the folder “linux-2.6.35.3”, which is the source code for Linux kernel image Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, in which all features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and multitask networking including IPv4 and IPv6. Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit architectures as long as they have a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a port of the GNU C compiler (gcc) (part of The GNU Compiler Collection, GCC). Linux has also been ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU, although functionality is then obviously somewhat limited. Linux has also been ported to itself. You can now run the kernel as a user space application - this is called User Mode Linux (UML). Below are the main folders with descriptions which “linux-2.6.35.3” contains:

- arch �The items related to hardware platform, most of them are for CPU.

- block �The setting information for block.

- crypto �The encryption technology that kernel supports.

- Documentation �The documentation for kernel.

- drivers �The drivers for hardware.


- firmware �Some of firmware data for old hardware.

- fs �The file system the kernel supports.

- include �The header definition for the other programs used.

- init �The initial functions for kernel.

- ipc �Define the communication for each program of Linux O.S.

- kernel �Define the Kernel process, status, schedule, signal.

- lib �Some of libraries.

- mm �The data related the memory.

- net � The data related the network.

- security �The security setting.

- sound �The module related audio.

- virt �The data related the virtual machine. There are plenty of documentation available for both Linux-specific and pertaining to general UNIX questions, and there are various README files in the /linux-2.6.35.3/Documentation: these typically contain kernel-specific installation notes for some drivers for example. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
