ARM CORTEX A9 commpilation - BMCMaster - 2013-06-04

Hello,

I would like to ask You if there is any specification and reqierments to run XBMC using /dev/fb0.

Is there any FAQ ( I could not find it anywhere ) to commpile XBMC for ARM A9 Cortex ?

Mainboard: PNX8496
Processor: ARM Cortex A9

Regards

Hello,

Anyone here commpile XBMC for ARM v9 ?? + rootfs ?

RE: ARM CORTEX A9 commpilation - davilla - 2013-06-07

For xbmc -> https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc
For a rootfs -> https://github.com/Pivosgroup/buildroot-linux

Your questions are vague, please clarify exactly what you want to do, XBMC uses GL/GLES which is typically run on a framebuffer. XBMC does not render to a framebuffer directly.

So I have a hardware:

Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Processor       : ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)

processor       : 0

BogoMIPS        : 996.14

Features        : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee vfpv3 vfpv3d16 

CPU implementer : 0x41

CPU architecture: 7

CPU variant     : 0x1

CPU part        : 0xc09

CPU revision    : 1

Hardware        : NXP BL-STB platform

Revision        : 0000

Serial          : 0000000000000000

Memory:

Code:
df

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/root                92160     59792     32368  65% /

tmpfs                       64         8        56  13% /dev

tmpfs                   172892       576    172316   0% /var/volatile

tmpfs                   172892         0    172892   0% /dev/shm

It has ready driver for /dev/fb0 and it works OK.

I would like to commpile a XBMC for it, shall I use normal ARM commpile like in README.xxxx ? Scratchbox ?

Does anyone have valid link for ROOTSTRAP archive ?

For a rootfs -> https://github.com/Pivosgroup/buildroot-linux

RE: ARM CORTEX A9 commpilation - BMCMaster - 2013-06-16

Thanks. Root file system I have ready.

Thing is now to compile Xbmc. Perhaps someone have ready Xbmc.bin file for ARM. ??

Thank You.

RE: ARM CORTEX A9 commpilation - davilla - 2013-06-17

Perhaps, you should google buildroot, then take a much, much closer look at https://github.com/Pivosgroup/buildroot-linux/tree/master/package/thirdparty/xbmc

PS. there is now way that someone's Xbmc.bin, would happen to work on your arm based system Smile
