Getting Started with ADSP‐SC589‐MINI (Linux for ADSP‐SC5xx Processors 3.1.1)
The build system is currently supported on host PCs running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64-bit. For setting up your host PC, please see the Setting Up Your Host PC page.
The source is fully contained in the Analog Devices Linux for ADSP repositories.
To install the sources:
mkdir ~/sc589-mini
cd ~/sc589-mini
mkdir bin
curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ./bin/repo
chmod a+x ./bin/repo
./bin/repo init \
-u https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/lnxdsp-repo-manifest.git \
-b main \
-m release-3.1.1.xml
./bin/repo syncYocto requires the environment to be configured before building is possible. A setup-environment script in the sc589-mini folder contains all the required environment settings for your build target. Source the setup script for your board:
source setup-environment -m adsp-sc589-miniSourcing the script will configure your build environment and create a build folder along with a local build configuration file. See the Yocto Manual for further details.
| 📝 | Note that the build environment needs to be sourced once only before building. If later working in a different terminal, the setup-environment script should be sourced again. If sourcing the setup-environment script is done without specifying the machine, Yocto will reuse the previous configuration settings and retain any changes made to the files in the conf folder |
|---|
You can build two different versions of the root file system; minimal and full. To build the example images invoke bitbake from within the build directory created previously.
bitbake adsp-sc5xx-minimal
bitbake adsp-sc5xx-fullWhen the build completes you will see a warning that the ELF binary has relocations in .text. It is OK to ignore this warning
| 📝 | Building a Linux distribution with Yocto is a significantly demanding process, both in CPU and network usage. A full build from scratch is estimated to take around 170 minutes for an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11500T with 16 GB of RAM and a stable, fast Internet connection. This estimate can go up significantly for a poorer Internet connection or CPU resources, so set aside plenty of time for a clean build. |
|---|
The SDK will provide you with the cross toolchain needed to develop application for the target board, alongside various miscellaneous tools. Notably, it will provide you with OpenOCD and GDB, which you can use to run and flash U-Boot on the board.
The SDK can be built for the adsp-sc5xx-minimal image or the adsp-sc5xx-full image. To build the SDK for the adsp-sc5xx-minimal image invoke bitbake from within the build directory created previously.
bitbake adsp-sc5xx-minimal -c populate_sdkor for the adsp-sc5xx-full image
bitbake adsp-sc5xx-full -c populate_sdkWhen the build has completed you will find a set of files in the <BUILD_DIR>/tmp/deploy/sdk directory. For example, the minimal image on SC594:
ls tmp/deploy/sdk

Invoke the self-extracting archive.
It will default to installing to /opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.1 but gives you the option to select your own install folder during the installation.
For the minimal image on SC594

SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.
Each time you wish to use the SDK in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script e.g.
$ . /opt/adi-distro-glibc/3.1.1/environment-setup-cortexa55-adi_glibc-linuxYour SDK is now installed.
Before installing the software on to the development board, ensure that the following cables are connected:
- Board connected to network via ethernet cable using J13 connector.
- Board connected to host PC using USB micro cable, connected to USB/UART port on the development board
- Board connected to the ICE 1000 or ICE 2000 via the DEBUG port on the board
- ICE is also connected to host PC via USB mini cable
- The BOOT MODE selector on the SC589 board should be turned to "0".
| 📝 | It's always good practice to erase the contents of /tftpboot/ before running and/or flashing a new build of U-Boot or Linux. You can do so by executing rm /tftpboot/* on your host PC before proceeding |
|---|
Copy the U-Boot binary & loader files to the tftp directory:
cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/u-boot-proper-sc589-mini.elf /tftpboot/
cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/u-boot-spl-sc589-mini.elf /tftpboot/
cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/stage1-boot.ldr /tftpboot/
cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/stage2-boot.ldr /tftpboot/The console output from U-Boot and later on Linux will appear on the USB serial port configured in minicom earlier so open up minicom.
Terminal1: minicom
sudo minicomIn a separate console launch OpenOCD and connect to the development board.
Terminal2: OpenOCD

root@adsp-sc589-mini:~# In order to use an SD Card with Linux we need to prepare it by formatting it in the correct format.
To do this, follow the commands below. The example code in this section assumes that the SD Card is reported to be /dev/sdb. Ensure that you change these commands to use your device.
| 📝 | You can use sudo fdisk -l to list the available devices and partitions, in order to locate the USB device. |
|---|
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
/* Create primary partition 1, 256M size*/
Command (m for help): n
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-3887103, default 2048): PRESS ENTER
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-3887103, default 3887103): PRESS ENTER
/* Save partition */
Command (m for help): wNow that the storage device is partitioned, you need to format it to ext4:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1Mount the device to a directory of your liking in your host machine (in the example, /mnt), and run the following commands which will uncompress the root file system and then store the kernel image under /boot inside it.
sudo mkdir /mnt
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
sudo mkdir /mnt/boot
sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/adsp-sc5xx-ramdisk-adsp-sc589-mini.cpio.xz /mnt/boot/adsp-sc5xx-ramdisk-adsp-sc589-mini.cpio.xz.u-boot
sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/sc589-mini.dtb /mnt/boot/
sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/fitImage /mnt/boot/
sudo tar -xf tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/adsp-sc5xx-minimal-adsp-sc589-mini.tar.xz -C /mnt
sudo umount /mnt
The file system and kernel image are now installed on to the SD card. The SD card can now be safely removed from the Host PC.
Now, on U-Boot, set the following environment variables:
=> setenv mmcargs 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootfstype=ext4 rootwait earlycon=adi_uart,0x31003000 console=ttySC0,115200'
=> setenv mmcboot 'mmc rescan; run mmcload; run mmcargs; bootm ${loadaddr};'
=> setenv mmcload 'ext4load mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} /boot/${imagefile};'And type to boot
run mmcbootThe linux kernel will then boot up using the file system stored in the SD card.
| 📝 | You can manually change the default boot method U-Boot is going to use upon the next restart and on. To do this, type => edit bootcmd, erase the current boot method and type in your preferred one. E.g. edit: run spiboot, erase spiboot and type mmcboot, usbboot or another boot method command of preference, and hit 'Enter'. Save the change by typing saveenv and hit 'Enter'. U-Boot will now boot using the SD card if left uninterrupted when loaded upon subsequent boots |
|---|
The first step is to format the USB stick to a format that U-Boot supports.
To do this, follow the commands below. The example code in this section assumes that the USB device is reported to be /dev/sdb. Ensure that you change these commands to use your device.
| 📝 | You can use sudo fdisk -l to list the available devices and partitions, in order to locate the USB device. |
|---|
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
/* Create primary partition 1, 256M size*/
Command (m for help): n
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-3887103, default 2048): PRESS ENTER
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (2048-3887103, default 3887103): PRESS ENTER

sudo mkdir /mnt
sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt
sudo mkdir /mnt/boot
sudo tar -xf tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/adsp-sc5xx-minimal-adsp-sc589-mini.tar.xz -C /mnt
sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/adsp-sc589-mini/fitImage /mnt/boot/
sudo umount /mntNow, on U-Boot, set the following environment variablesL
=> setenv usbargs 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda1 rw rootfstype=ext4 rootwait earlycon=adi_uart,0x31003000 console=ttySC0,115200'
=> setenv usbload 'ext4load usb 0 ${loadaddr} /boot/${imagefile};'
=> setenv usbboot 'usb start; run usbload; run usbargs; bootm ${loadaddr};'And type to boot
=> run usbbootNow the rootfs is set to be your USB storage device, and the amount of space is the size of the partition created earlier on the device.
