I documented everything I did to get Angstrom building for the A5, from scratch. It doesn't really explain what each step does, but it's a step-by-step you can follow if you want to get up to speed quickly. It uses a virtual machine running Ubuntu, so it should be easy to follow regardless of which OS you're running on your computer.

Did you download the source-me.txt file? It's the wget command in the second code-box of Step 2 of the tutorial.

I bet I know what happened. Once you've run export {{{ OETREE="${HOME}/OE" }}}, you need to use that same console window without closing it.

Try this:
sudo echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 0" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf
This should ask you for your password - you shouldn't get a permission denied unless you put the wrong password in...
Then delete the OE directory {{{ rm -rf ~/OE }}}
Then start at Step 2 again, running each command individually, all in the same console window.

That's weird. Try this:
sudo su -
echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 0" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf
exit

Nice tutorial. I might give it a shot.

Just a question... Since you used Ubuntu over Virtualbox (all free software), would be requesting the .vdi of your already set-up environment asking too much? :P

Done !
All compilation takes 55 hours !

And now how can i install this compilation ?
I suppose i must run the aos tools for unpack and repack the firmware ?
In the new "open firmware" which archos gived when you unpack you have the following folders :
Init and recovery
they contain : initramfs(folder) zImage(file)
and in initramfs :
bin dev etc init(file) lib mnt new-root proc sbin sys usr

Question : may i replace this directory by my rootfs crosscompilation ?
and then i repack the firmware for update my archos ?

Hi
Have you figured out how to perform the flash ?
When I place both files (initramfs and zImage) on the device it says if flushed successfully but every things works as if nothing happend.

How do I make the switch ?

Cheers
Roee

cryptyk: have you been able to take the image that gets built and run it on the A05?

If so can we complete the tutorial? It has been a great resource.

it's not weird.

sudo echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 0" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf

will only run the echo with elevated privilege, the redirect ">" runs with user privilege and can't write to the file.

This should also work, running the command in a subshell (sh), but is not universal as people use different shells (sh, bash, ksh), and quotes need thought since they don't nest well.

sudo sh -c 'echo "vm.mmap_min_addr = 0" > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf'

sudo sh -c "echo vm.mmap_min_addr = 0 > /etc/sysctl.d/mmap_min_addr.conf"

"sudo su -" is a bad habit.
