Ci20 is a great little board that I got recently since I wanted to experiment with a new architecture (mips) Quick specifications are here :
| SoC | Ingenic JZ4780 | ||
| CPU | Dual 1.2GHz XBurst MIPS32 little endian | ||
| Caches | 32kI + 32kD per core, 512K shared L2 | ||
| RAM | 1Gbyte DDR3 | ||
| NAND | 8 Gbyte | ||
More detailed information is here https://elinux.org/CI20_Hardware and here https://elinux.org/MIPS_Creator_CI20
The board comes with Debian Linux mips 7.5 preinstalled and a custom kernel
Linux mipsbox 3.0.8-00847-g2e5af7d #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 24 10:10:52 BST 2015 mips GNU/Linux
There are possibilities to flash the NAND storage with newer images available from here https://elinux.org/CI20_Distros but I wanted to keep the stock kernel because of the custom drivers for the GPU that support mplayer hw-playback.
Before getting to work with the PKGSRC on Linux I wanted to build natively a newer GCC compiler (stock comes with GCC 4.6.3) So I have decided to give the 7.2.0 a try and build it natively.
Please note that I have used the –program-suffix=-4.6 and /usr/include/c++/4.6 in the configure – this is not correct but a dirty hack to overwrite the current GCC 4.6 files in Debian (it is a nightmare to remove the GCC related stuff as it has many dependencies) It works quite well :)
Download GCC to the Ci20 # wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-7.2.0/gcc-7.2.0.tar.gz # tar -zxvf gcc-7.2.0.tar.gz # ./configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-4.6 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.6 --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-plugin --with-mips-plt --with-arch-32=mips2 --with-tune-32=mips32 --enable-targets=all --with-arch-64=mips3 --with-tune-64=mips64 --enable-checking=release --build=mipsel-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-linux-gnu --target=mipsel-linux-gnu It took approx 30 hours to build on my Ci20, be patient (also maybe a good idea is to create some swap just in case you would run out of memory, I did mine on a USB drive) # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/usb/swapfile bs=1M count=102 # chmod 600 /mnt/usb/swapfile # mkswap /mnt/usb/swapfile # swapon /mnt/usb/swapfile Finally build GCC # make # make install
Once we have the GCC 7.2 installed it will be in the old GCC 4.6 directory structure, but it does not matter

Now lets go and bootstrap pkgsrc on the Ci20 ! I have decided to keep the pkgsrc sources on a separate USB flash drive and the /usr/pkg on the NAND flash.
root@mipsbox:/disk# ftp ftp.netbsd.org Connected to ftp.netbsd.org. 220 ftp.NetBSD.org FTP server (NetBSD-ftpd 20110904) ready. Name (ftp.netbsd.org:root): ftp 331 Guest login ok, type your name as password. Password:

Once it is downloaded, extract it on the USB drive and set symlinks
# pwd /mnt/usb # tar -zxvf pkgsrc.tar.gz # ln -s /mnt/usb/pkgsrc /usr/pkgsrc
and move onto the bootstrapping, also read the following https://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/how_to_use_pkgsrc_on_linux/
# echo "export SH=/bin/bash" >> /root/.bashrc
Relogin to root again and continue the bootstrap. The current bootstrap script does not understand the endianess of MIPS platforms, thus fails to produce correct arch type as mipseb or mipsel (Ci20 is mipsel)
I have produced a patch bootstrap that works for the Ci20

After you patch the /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/bootstrap, you can run it and after 1 hour the pkgsrc will get bootstrapped successfully on the Ci20 Debian mipsel
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap # ./bootstrap
To bmake packages afterwards make sure you have the following directories in path/usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin
What I found however were these minor issues during bmake build afterwards

The problem is during the following configure test (lets check the cofig.log)

What worked however was going to the work dir of readline and doing the following
