805397 - PandaBoard: Init.rc not copied to image

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas Zimmermann [:tzimmermann] [:tdz]]

When building for the PandaBoard, the init.rc file is not copied to the image. Booting the PandaBoard then fails with

> [   26.008636] init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2
> [   26.018768] init: property (null) has no value for writing to /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iManufacturer
> [   26.030456] init: property (null) has no value for writing to /sys/class/android_usb/android0/iProduct

This bug was probably introduced by commit

I have a pull request pending on github to fix this problem. For a workaround, add

  TARGET_PROVIDES_INIT_RC := false

to device/ti/panda/BoardConfig.mk and rebuild from scratch.

You should set

  TARGET_PROVIDES_B2G_INIT_RC := false
  TARGET_PROVIDES_INIT_RC := false

as well and add

  #$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/b2g.mk)

to full_panda.mk. This fixed the problem for me.

If I add these changes, b2g does not start on startup. If I run ./system/b2g/b2g, then it complains about missing library files:
link_image[1936]:  1770 could not load needed library 'libmozglue.so' for './b2g' (load_library[1091]: Library 'libmozglue.so' not found)CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

These files are in /system/b2g/, so I added it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and ran ./b2g. Then the process will run, but it'll get stuck and not fully load b2g. In the logcat, I get a bunch of "I/Gonk    ( 1687): Cannot open socket for RIL!" messages, printing repetitively.

If I undo the change here https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gonk-misc/commit/8807f2f86ab0ac3d6aeb83ac1e1b9d5e000220b6#Android.mk, and restored them to 'optional eng', then I get a working pandaboard image.
