Linaro releases monthly binary images for the ARMv8 fast models.

For support matters related to ARMv8 fast models downloaded from ARM sites, please contact ARM support

This release includes Linaro OpenEmbedded images for Foundation and Virtual Express fast models. Sources are also made available so you can build your own images.

Changes in this release

  • GCC updated to gcc-linaro 4.7 2012.11 release

Known Issues

Linaro OpenEmbedded images are made up of two components. The Linux kernel file with boot wrapper shim and a Root file system (RootFS) image of your choice.

Using pre-built image

Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit or newer on your desktop PC (www.ubuntu.com)
  • Foundation or Virtual Express fast model (Linaro ARMv8 Engineering)
  • This release pre-built image, which you can downloaded from the above list.

Installation Steps

  • Unzip the downloaded pre-built image

Booting the image

./Foundation_v8 --image img-foundation.axf \
  --block-device vexpress64-openembedded_IMAGENAME-armv8_IMAGEDATE-91.img \
  --network nat

Initial setup

mkdir openembedded
cd openembedded
git clone git://git.linaro.org/openembedded/meta-aarch64.git
bash meta-aarch64/scripts/init.sh

This will clone all required repositories and does initial setup.

Do a build

cd openembedded/openembedded-core
. oe-init-build-env ../build
bitbake bash

Of course you can use other targets instead of “bash”. Use “core-image-minimal” to build simple rootfs.

Usable build targets

  • core-image-minimal – very minimal rootfs
  • linaro-image-lamp – LAMP stack
  • linaro-image-sdk – image with toolchain present
