Installing
apt-get install v4l-utils libjpeg9
Fixing Blue Screen
Blue screen (on Study TV after power cycle).
Workaround:
tvservice -o
tvservice -p
sudo systemctl restart mediacenter
See related OSMC issue.
Try boosting hdmi in RPi? config:
/boot/config.txt
config_hdmi_boost=6
Obsolete RaspBMC stuff

Developing
Qemu
Basic Raspberry PI kernel and rootfs here:
Exiting
Ctrl-x
Or through screen: Ctrl-a,a,x
Running
Need to redirect the console if running via SSH:
qemu-system-arm \
-M versatilepb \
-nographic \
-kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-versatile \
-initrd initrd.img-3.2.0-4-versatile \
-hda debian_wheezy_armel_standard.qcow2 \
-append "root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyAMA0 console=ttyS0"
For initial boot (pre passwd setup) add init=/bin/bash or init=/bin/sh depending on what's in the root image.
Qemu SCSI bug
A qemu bug (pre 1.5) leaves qemu-system-arm in a loop attempting to reset the SCSI bus (I think).
Luckily Wheezy backports has qemu-2.1.
apt-get -t wheezy-backports install qemu-system-arm
Qemu Raspbian
- Kernel
- http://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu
- Rootfs
- Latest RaspBMC image) from http://downloads.raspberrypi.org
#!/bin/bash
KERNEL=xec-kernel
ROOT=raspbmc0.img
qemu-system-arm \
-cpu arm1176 \
-nographic \
-kernel "$KERNEL" \
-m 128 \
-M versatilepb -no-reboot \
-hda "$ROOT" \
-append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw"
Other Methods
Debootstrap Chroot
"Unable to reserve guest address space"
multistrap
Generates disk image. chroot fails with the same memory allocation failure.
Cross Compiling
Use gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64 for x64 host.
Gave up with pkg-config problems after a while.
