OMAPCONF

A Powerful Diagnostic Tool for Texas Instruments OMAP Processors

###############################################################################

ABOUT:

OMAPCONF is a Linux user-space standalone application designed to provide a quick'n easy way to diagnose (monitor/debug/audit...) TI OMAP configuration/status dynamically at runtime, in any situation:

  • Any Linux distribution (Ubuntu, ...)
  • Any Android release (Froyo, GingerBread, HoneyComb, Ice-Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, ...)
  • TI official platforms (blaze, panda, ...),
  • Custom OMAP platforms, etc.
  • With no single kernel recompilation needed

OMAPCONF leverages "/dev/mem" special device to directly access complete TI OMAP memory space (registers, ...).

SUPPORT:

OMAPCONF CURRENTLY SUPPORTS TI AM335x, AM437x, OMAP44XX AND OMAP54XX DEVICES. LEGACY TI OMAP PLATFORMS (OMAP[1-2-3]) ARE NOT SUPPORTED.

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS, WITH NO SUPPORT OR MAINTENANCE COMMITMENT FROM TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED.

Build instructions (Ubuntu):

OMAPCONF is available as a Ubuntu package. To proceed with package installation type the following:

# sudo apt-get install tiomapconf

Once package is installed, you can check which omapconf version you are using:

# dpkg -l tiomapconf

Package is available via TI OMAP4 Ubuntu PPA. See the OMAPpedia page for further instructions.

Build instructions (other Linux Distributions):

To only build the output binary file: # make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omapconf

NB: - CROSS_COMPILE variable must be set to point to the correct compiler. - By default, omapconf is statically built, to ease sharing. In case it is not needed or size matters, it is possible to build it dynamically, by setting variable STATIC_BUILD to "". # export STATIC_BUILD= or # make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- STATIC_BUILD= omapconf

To build and install ompaconf:

# make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- DESTDIR=YOUR_DIR install

YOUR_DIR is a destination directory where omapconf output binary file will be copied (e.g. ubuntu/android filesystem)

That's it!

Build instructions and installation via ADB (Android):

Make sure your Android device is connected to host via ADB:

# adb kill-server
# adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
 emulator-5554	device
# adb root

To build and install ompaconf for Android via ADB:

# make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- install_android

OMAPCONF binary will be copied to /data directory (known writable directory) on your Android device. You may get it copied to a different directory by updating Makefile at your convenience.

Help:

Type "./omapconf --help" to get complete list of available commands and options. Note that in case of incorrect command/option, help will also be displayed.
