raspi-kernel

Kernel

http://elinux.org/RPi_Software#Kernel

The initial patches (Media:Rpi-linux-patches-3.1.9.tgz) are released against the 3.1.9 kernel - but may also work against later kernels.
The kernel is now also available on https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux
[..]

Compiler

The Broadcom processor on Raspberry Pi contains an ARM v6 general purpose processor and a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU. No data is currently available on other cores (if any) available in the BCM2835.

ARM

There is broad compiler support including gcc - please see ARM Compilers
The ARM is capable of around 500 BOGOMIPS [1], 5400 LINPACK KFLOPS with software floating point and 22000 KFLOPS with softfp hardware floating point[2].
The gcc compiler flags which will produce the most optimal code for the RPi are probably (can someone check!): 
-mtune=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=softfp [-marm or -mthumb]
[..]



http://elinux.org/Rpi_kernel_compilation#compiling

compiling
Next you have to configure the kernel: 
cp arch/arm/configs/bcmrpi_cutdown_defconfig .config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- oldconfig
Then building the kernel: 
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- -k
You can use the "-j" flag to improve compilation time. If you have a dual core machine you can use "-j 3", for a quad core machine you can use "-j 6", and so on.

Slitaz -- raspi-Distributions

Distributions

1. What Linux distros will be supported at launch?
http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs
[..]
Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux will be supported from the start. We hope to see support from other distros later. (Because of issues with newer releases of Ubuntu and the ARM processor we are using, Ubuntu can’t commit to support Raspberry Pi at the moment.) You will be able to download distro images from us as soon as the Raspberry Pi is released, and we will also be selling pre-loaded SD cards shortly after release.

6. bcm2708
http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/01/22/linux-kernel-3-1-9-for-raspberry-pi-released
[..]
The code related to Broadcom BCM2835 processor is referred as bcm2708 in the kernel and I can see committed related to the watchdog timer, the framebuffer,  the VCHIQ driver (the driver sending messages to the GPU) and general commits for bcm2708.

For those interested in the messages used to communicate between userspace and the GPU, the VCHIQ driver code is located at drivers/misc/vc04_services in the tree. I haven't studied it yet, but as the platform should support graphics standards such as OpenGL and OpenMAX IL, most people should not really care about this interface as I suppose the OpenGL library (Mesa?) uses this driver.

raspi - GPU

GPU - bootloader
start.elf: The GPU binary firmware image, provided by the foundation.

http://elinux.org/RPi_Software
[..]
BootRom

The boards do not include NAND or NOR storage - everything is on the SD card, which has a FAT32 partition with GPU firmware and a kernel image, and an EXT2 partition with the rootfs.

We're not currently using a bootloader - we actually boot via the GPU, which contains a proprietary RISC core (wacky architecture). The GPU mounts the SD card, loads GPU firmware and brings up display/video/3d, loads a kernel image, resets the SD card host and starts the ARM.

You could replace the kernel image with a bootloader image, and that would work fine.

[..]
GPU

The GPU provides APIs for Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode.

The GPU is capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24 GFLOPs of general purpose compute and features a bunch of texture filtering and DMA infrastructure - the Raspberry Pi team are looking at how they can make this available to application programmers.

The GPU blob is an 18MB elf file, including libraries. It does an awful lot. [3]


http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs
[..]
Is there a GPU binary?

Yes. The GPU binary also contains the first stage bootloader.


what means “GPU binary”?

    The is a binary blob that runs on the GPU – this is closed source, but there are drivers that run on the Arm that give access to the GPU features ie OpenGLES, OpenVG etc. The device boots the GPU first, the bootloader loads the GPU with this binary blob, then Linux is booted on the Arm.

Setting up the boot partition
The boot partition must contain:

    bootcode.bin : 2nd stage bootloader, starts with SDRAM disabled
    loader.bin : 3rd stage bootloader, starts with SDRAM enabled
    start.elf: The GPU binary firmware image, provided by the foundation.
    kernel.img: The OS kernel to load on the ARM processor. Normally this is Linux - see instructions for compiling a kernel.
    cmdline.txt: Parameters passed to the kernel on boot.


Optional files:

    config.txt: A configuration file read by the GPU. Use this to override set the video mode, alter system clock speeds, voltages, etc.
    vlls directory: Additional GPU code, e.g. extra codecs. Not present in the initial release.

Additional files supplied by the foundation

These files are also present on the SD cards supplied by the foundation.

Additional kernels. Rename over kernel.img to use them (ensure you have a backup of the original kernel.img first!):

    kernel_emergency.img : kernel with busybox rootfs. You can use this to repair the main linux partition using e2fsck if the linux partition gets corrupted.


Additional GPU firmware images, rename over start.elf to use them:

    arm128_start.elf : 128M ARM, 128M GPU split (use this for heavy 3D work, possibly also required for some video decoding)
    arm192_start.elf : 192M ARM, 64M GPU split (this is the default)
    arm224_start.elf : 224M ARM, 32M GPU split (use this for Linux only with no 3D or video processing. Its enough for the 1080p framebuffer, but not much else)

raspi - BCM2835




BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals
http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf

http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/615
[..]
We've been leaning (gently and charmingly) on Broadcom, who make BCM2835, the SoC at the heart of the Raspberry Pi, to produce an abbreviated datasheet describing the ARM peripherals in the chip. If you're a casual user, this won't be of much interest to you, but if you're wanting to port your own operating system or just want to understand our Linux kernel sources, this is the document for you.

Slitaz -- Raspberry Pi



Raspberry Pi
An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!
1. 
http://www.raspberrypi.org/
http://elinux.org/RPi-hub

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer board that plugs into a TV and a keyboard. It's a miniature ARM-based PC which can be used for many of the things that a desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays High-Definition video.

Features

  •     Broadcom BCM2835 700MHz ARM1176JZFS processor with FPU and Videocore 4 GPU
  •     GPU provides Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
  •     GPU is capable of 1Gpixel/s, 1.5Gtexel/s or 24GFLOPs with texture filtering and DMA infrastructure
  •     256MB RAM
  •     Boots from SD card, running the Fedora version of Linux
  •     10/100 BaseT Ethernet socket
  •     HDMI socket
  •     USB 2.0 socket
  •     RCA video socket
  •     SD card socket
  •     Powered from microUSB socket
  •     3.5mm audio out jack
  •     Header footprint for camera connection
  •     Size: 85.6 x 53.98 x 17mm
