1. BSP version
There are several versions of Telechips Linux BSP and documentation floating around the internet. The time range is from the end of 2009 till mid-2010. Two most recent are these:- LINUX_BSP_100205-R0170B2750 (tcboot.rom needs FWDN_V6)
- LINUX_BSP_100409-R0190B3034 (tcboot.rom needs FWDN_V7)
You can find similar howto on 99pad.com, made by gbk18030.
2. Hardware support (HSG X5A)
- Telechips TCC8900 720MHz, AX revision
- Samsung K4T1G164QE-HCE7 DDR2-800 400MHz memory
- LCD EK700AT9309 800×480 - not working yet :(
3. Preparing ARMv6 toolchain
Copy armv6_codesourcery.tar.bz2 to /opt/ directorytar -jxvf armv6_codesourcery.tar.bz2
export PATH=/opt/armv6/codesourcery/bin:$PATHCheck version
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -vInstall other needed tools
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libqt3-mt-dev qt3-dev-tools g++Download original linux-2.6.28.tar.bz2 kernel.
4. How to compile bootloader (tcboot)
tcboot bootloader is a predecessor of lkboot which is commonly used in Telechips Android ROMs as lk.rom. In contrast to lkboot, tcboot seems not to display any picture at boot (only when on-board FWDN switch is ON, but the LCD configuration is not working on HSG X5A tablet).
Go to bootloader/tcboot/ directorymake distclean make tcc8900 KERNEL_START_OFFSET=0x300000 SDRAM_M_SIZE=256 REVISION=TCC_R_AX
nano include/config.h
#define FCPU_720MHZ_INCLUDE #define FMBUS_360MHZ_INCLUDE
nano include/ddr.h
#define DRAM_TYPE3Note: Not needed for newer LINUX_BSP_100409-R0190B3034
make
You will get tcboot.rom (use FWDN tool according to version of BSP, in other case you will get error message).
5. How to compile Kernel
Unpack & patch kernel
tar -xjvf linux-2.6.28.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.6.28 patch -p1 < ../patch-linux-2.6.28-*
Compile kernel
make tcc8900_defconfig make menuconfig make chmod +x tcc_mkrd.sh ./tcc_mkrd.sh
You will get linux.rom.
6. FWDN V6 & V7
FWDN_V6
FWDN_V7
