This repository provides Scripts and Patches to build a basic Linux (Debian) System for a Beckhoff CX9020 Controller. It only works with devices which are ordered with a special ordering number (CX9020-0100) which ensures that the device boots directly from the microSD card instead of using the internal bootloader. Please make sure to follow the steps below to create your microSD card.
#prepare your machine f.e.: 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 LTS would require:
#===================================================================
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf bc binfmt-support device-tree-compiler g++-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf git lib32ncurses5-dev lib32stdc++6 lib32z1 libtool make mercurial multistrap qemu qemu-user-static wget xz-utils
# get the repository:
#====================
git clone https://github.com/Beckhoff/CX9020.git
cd CX9020/
# link gcc-5-arm as default arm compiler
#=======================================
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.9 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.9 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
#get and patch the u-boot sources:
#=================================
./tools/prepare_uboot.sh v2017.07
#build u-boot:
#=============
make uboot
#get and patch a rt kernel:
#==========================
./tools/prepare_kernel.sh v4.9.35-rt25
#configure and build the kernel:
#===============================
make kernel
#get and patch etherlab (optional):
#==================================
./tools/prepare_etherlab.sh
#configure and build the etherlab (optional):
#============================================
make etherlab
#prepare sdcard with a small debian rootfs:
#============================================
#BE CAREFUL to specify the correct device name,
#or you might end up deleting your host's root partition!
./scripts/install.sh /dev/sdc /tmp/rootfs
#install etherlab (optional):
