ARM Linux (iMX21)
BSP Guide



A. Introduction

     This developer guide
provides the information for developers, who need to use the IMX21 Linux BSP to
modify the sound driver. This development may proceed with a specific model.
And this document is created mainly to facilitate the usage of this BSP and
Machine for engineers to quickly startup the development work of some device
drivers. The host operating system we preferred is Redhat Linux 9.0, or VMWare
plus Redhat Linux 9.0 under Windows XP.

B. BSP Installation and Compilation

1.   Setup the tool chains
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
>Login as root
>mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
>cd /usr/local
>tar zxvf /mnt/cdrom/arm-linux.tar.gz

In order to cross-compile on Imx21, please add “export
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/bin” in /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc.

2.
Kernel Configurations and Compilation
Kernel source preparation
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
>cd /usr/src/
>tar zxvf /mnt/cdrom/linux-2.4.20-iMX21.tar.gz

Configure the linux kernel
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =      
>cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-iMX21
>make config
>make dep

Build the new linux kernel
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
>make zImage
>the kernel image will be located at
linux-2.4.20-iMX21/arch/arm/boot/zImage


Device Drivers Specific

There are multiple drivers
presented in Imx21 BSP. Only audio driver is shown as an example.

Audio Driver
            The audio codec used on IMX21 is WM8731. The driver for WM8731 is based
on three modules of MX21, DAM (Digital Audio Multiplexer) module, SSI
(Synchronous Serial Interface) module and I2C module. The SSI module is used to
manage a full-duplex data path between MX21 and WM8731. And the I2C module is
used to set and read the register values of WM8731.
            The audio driver source
files are placed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-iMX21/drivers/sound.

6. Test on IMX21

The files associated with sound are listed as follows:
Sound drivers:                soundcore.o
                                    sound.o
                                    dbmx-wm8721-audio.o
Application of wavplayer:            wavplay
