Install prerequisites
cd sudo apt update sudo apt install --no-install-recommends -y \ gperf \ ccache dfu-util \ libsdl2-dev \ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libssl-dev libjpeg62-turbo-dev libmagic1 \ libtool-bin autoconf automake libusb-1.0-0-dev \ python3-tk python3-virtualenv
Download the latest Zephyr Release, extract it and cleanup
sudo wget https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/sdk-ng/releases/download/v0.16.3/zephyr-sdk-0.16.3_linux-aarch64_minimal.tar.xz tar xf zephyr-sdk-0.16.3_linux-aarch64_minimal.tar.xz rm zephyr-sdk-0.16.3_linux-aarch64_minimal.tar.xz
Run the Zephyr SDK Setup Script
./zephyr-sdk-0.16.3/setup.sh -t arm-zephyr-eabi -c
Download and Initialize West. (Zephyr’s meta-tool)
Note
You may want to add /home/debian/.local/bin to your .bashrc file to make the West command available after a reboot
pip3 install --user -U west export PATH="/home/debian/.local/bin:$PATH" west init -m https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleconnect/zephyr/zephyr --mr sdk-next zephyr-beagle-cc1352-sdk cd $HOME/zephyr-beagle-cc1352-sdk
Setup a Python Virtual Environment and add our PATH Variables

Update West
west update west zephyr-export
Install Python Prerequisites
pip3 install -r zephyr/scripts/requirements-base.txt
Activate the Zephyr build environment
NOTE - If you exit and come back, you’ll need to reactivate your Zephyr build environment.
source $HOME/zephyr-beagle-cc1352-sdk/zephyr-beagle-cc1352-env/bin/activate

Clone CC1352 Firmware at top level: https://git.beagleboard.org/gsoc/greybus/cc1352-firmware
cd ~ git clone https://git.beagleboard.org/gsoc/greybus/cc1352-firmware
Build the Firmware
west build -b beagleplay_cc1352 -p always cc1352-firmware
You can now find the built firmware at build/zephyr/zephyr.bin
Flash#
Ensure the gb-beagleplay driver isn’t blocking the serial port.

The default password is temppwd.
Clone cc1352-flasher
cd git clone https://git.beagleboard.org/beagleconnect/cc1352-flasher.git
Flash Firmware
python $HOME/cc1352-flasher --beagleplay $HOME/zephyr-beagle-cc1352-sdk/build/zephyr/zephyr.bin
Ensure the gb-beagleplay driver is set to load.

Building gb-beagleplay Kernel Module#
Note
gb-beagleplay is still not merged upstream and thus needs to be built seperately. This should not be required in the future.
Disable bcfserial driver. Add
quiet module_blacklist=bcfserialto kernel parameters at/boot/firmware/extlinux/extlinux.conf(line 2) as shown below.
label Linux eMMC kernel /Image append root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait net.ifnames=0 quiet module_blacklist=bcfserial ① fdtdir / #fdtoverlays /overlays/<file>.dtbo #fdtoverlays /overlays/k3-am625-beagleplay-bcfserial-no-firmware.dtbo fdtoverlays /overlays/k3-am625-beagleplay-release-mikrobus.dtbo initrd /initrd.img①
quiet module_blacklist=bcfserialhas been added to this line
Reboot
debian@BeaglePlay:~$ sudo shutdown -r now
Download the upstream module
debian@BeaglePlay:~$ git clone https://git.beagleboard.org/gsoc/greybus/beagleplay-greybus-driver.git debian@BeaglePlay:~$ cd beagleplay-greybus-driver

Flashing BeagleConnect Freedom Greybus Firmware#
Connect BeagleConnect Freedom to BeaglePlay
Build the BeagleConnect Freedom firmware
west build -b beagleconnect_freedom modules/greybus/samples/subsys/greybus/net/ -p -- -DOVERLAY_CONFIG=overlay-802154-subg.conf
Flash the BeagleConnect Freedom
west flash
Run the Demo#
Connect BeagleConnect Freedom.
See shell output using tio
tio /dev/ACM0Press the Reset button on BeagleConnect Freedom
Verify that greybus is working by checking the tio output. It should look as follows:
