Poky Hardware README
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
This file gives details about using Poky with the reference machines
|
||||
supported out of the box. A full list of supported reference target machines
|
||||
can be found by looking in the following directories:
|
||||
|
||||
meta/conf/machine/
|
||||
meta-yocto-bsp/conf/machine/
|
||||
|
||||
If you are in doubt about using Poky/OpenEmbedded with your hardware, consult
|
||||
the documentation for your board/device.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for additional devices is normally added by creating BSP layers - for
|
||||
more information please see the Yocto Board Support Package (BSP) Developer's
|
||||
Guide - documentation source is in documentation/bspguide or download the PDF
|
||||
from:
|
||||
|
||||
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Support for physical reference hardware has now been split out into a
|
||||
meta-yocto-bsp layer which can be removed separately from other layers if not
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
QEMU Emulation Targets
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
|
||||
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
|
||||
are currently supported:
|
||||
|
||||
* ARM (qemuarm)
|
||||
* x86 (qemux86)
|
||||
* x86-64 (qemux86-64)
|
||||
* PowerPC (qemuppc)
|
||||
* MIPS (qemumips)
|
||||
|
||||
Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
|
||||
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
|
||||
in brackets.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware Reference Boards
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
The following boards are supported by the meta-yocto-bsp layer:

The following consumer devices are supported by the meta-yocto-bsp layer:
|
||||
|
||||
* Intel x86 based PCs and devices (genericx86)
|
||||
* Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter Lite (edgerouter)
|
||||
|
||||

Specific Hardware Documentation
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Intel x86 based PCs and devices (genericx86*)
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
The genericx86 and genericx86-64 MACHINE are tested on the following platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Xeon/Core i-Series:
|
||||
+ Intel NUC5 Series - ix-52xx Series SOC (Broadwell)
|
||||
+ Intel NUC6 Series - ix-62xx Series SOC (Skylake)
|
||||
+ Intel Shumway Xeon Server
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Atom platforms:
|
||||
+ MinnowBoard MAX - E3825 SOC (Bay Trail)
|
||||
+ MinnowBoard MAX - Turbot (ADI Engineering) - E3826 SOC (Bay Trail)
|
||||
- These boards can be either 32bot or 64bit modes depending on firmware
|
||||
- See minnowboard.org for details
|
||||
+ Intel Braswell SOC
|
||||
|
||||
and is likely to work on many unlisted Atom/Core/Xeon based devices. The MACHINE
|
||||
type supports ethernet, wifi, sound, and Intel/vesa graphics by default in
|
||||
addition to common PC input devices, busses, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the device, it can boot from a traditional hard-disk, a USB device,
|
||||
or over the network. Writing generated images to physical media is
|
||||
straightforward with a caveat for USB devices. The following examples assume the
|
||||
target boot device is /dev/sdb, be sure to verify this and use the correct
|
||||
device as the following commands are run as root and are not reversable.
|
||||
|
||||
USB Device:
|
||||
1. Build a live image. This image type consists of a simple filesystem
|
||||
without a partition table, which is suitable for USB keys, and with the
|
||||
default setup for the genericx86 machine, this image type is built
|
||||
automatically for any image you build. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the "dd" utility to write the image to the raw block device. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-genericx86.hddimg of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
If the device fails to boot with "Boot error" displayed, or apparently
|
||||
stops just after the SYSLINUX version banner, it is likely the BIOS cannot
|
||||
understand the physical layout of the disk (or rather it expects a
|
||||
particular layout and cannot handle anything else). There are two possible
|
||||
solutions to this problem:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Change the BIOS USB Device setting to HDD mode. The label will vary by
|
||||
device, but the idea is to force BIOS to read the Cylinder/Head/Sector
|
||||
geometry from the device.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use a ".wic" image with an EFI partition
|
||||
|
||||
a) With a default grub-efi bootloader:
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-genericx86-64.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
b) Use systemd-boot instead
|
||||
- Build an image with EFI_PROVIDER="systemd-boot" then use the above
|
||||
dd command to write the image to a USB stick.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Texas Instruments Beaglebone (beaglebone)
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
The Beaglebone is an ARM Cortex-A8 development board with USB, Ethernet, 2D/3D
|
||||
accelerated graphics, audio, serial, JTAG, and SD/MMC. The Black adds a faster
|
||||
CPU, more RAM, eMMC flash and a micro HDMI port. The beaglebone MACHINE is
|
||||
tested on the following platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
o Beaglebone Black A6
|
||||
o Beaglebone A6 (the original "White" model)
|
||||
|
||||
The Beaglebone Black has eMMC, while the White does not. Pressing the USER/BOOT
|
||||
button when powering on will temporarily change the boot order. But for the sake
|
||||
of simplicity, these instructions assume you have erased the eMMC on the Black,
|
||||
so its boot behavior matches that of the White and boots off of SD card. To do
|
||||
this, issue the following commands from the u-boot prompt:
|
||||
|
||||
# mmc dev 1
|
||||
# mmc erase 0 512
|
||||
|
||||
To further tailor these instructions for your board, please refer to the
|
||||
documentation at http://www.beagleboard.org/bone and http://www.beagleboard.org/black
|
||||
|
||||
From a Linux system with access to the image files perform the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build an image. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the "dd" utility to write the image to the SD card. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
# dd core-image-minimal-beaglebone.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
3. Insert the SD card into the Beaglebone and boot the board.
|
||||
|
||||
Freescale MPC8315E-RDB (mpc8315e-rdb)
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
The MPC8315 PowerPC reference platform (MPC8315E-RDB) is aimed at hardware and
|
||||
software development of network attached storage (NAS) and digital media server
|
||||
applications. The MPC8315E-RDB features the PowerQUICC II Pro processor, which
|
||||
includes a built-in security accelerator.
|
||||
|
||||
(Note: you may find it easier to order MPC8315E-RDBA; this appears to be the
|
||||
same board in an enclosure with accessories. In any case it is fully
|
||||
compatible with the instructions given here.)
|
||||
|
||||
Setup instructions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You will need the following:
|
||||
* NFS root setup on your workstation
|
||||
* TFTP server installed on your workstation
|
||||
* Straight-thru 9-conductor serial cable (DB9, M/F) connected from your
|
||||
PC to UART1
|
||||
* Ethernet connected to the first ethernet port on the board
|
||||
|
||||
--- Preparation ---
|
||||
|
||||
Note: if you have altered your board's ethernet MAC address(es) from the
|
||||
defaults, or you need to do so because you want multiple boards on the same
|
||||
network, then you will need to change the values in the dts file (patch
|
||||
linux/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8315erdb.dts within the kernel source). If
|
||||
you have left them at the factory default then you shouldn't need to do
|
||||
anything here.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: To boot from USB disk you need u-boot that supports 'ext2load usb'
|
||||
command. You need to setup TFTP server, load u-boot from there and
|
||||
flash it to NOR flash.
|
||||
|
||||
Beware! Flashing bootloader is potentially dangerous operation that can
|
||||
brick your device if done incorrectly. Please, make sure you understand
|
||||
what below commands mean before executing them.
|
||||
|
||||
Load the new u-boot.bin from TFTP server to memory address 200000
|
||||
=> tftp 200000 u-boot.bin
|
||||
|
||||
Disable flash protection
|
||||
=> protect off all
|
||||
|
||||
Erase the old u-boot from fe000000 to fe06ffff in NOR flash.
|
||||
The size is 0x70000 (458752 bytes)
|
||||
=> erase fe000000 fe06ffff
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the new u-boot from address 200000 to fe000000
|
||||
the size is 0x70000. It has to be greater or equal to u-boot.bin size
|
||||
=> cp.b 200000 fe000000 70000
|
||||
|
||||
Enable flash protection again
|
||||
=> protect on all
|
||||
|
||||
Reset the board
|
||||
=> reset
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from USB disk ---
|
||||
|
||||
1. Flash partitioned image to the USB disk
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-mpc8315e-rdb.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
2. Plug USB disk into the MPC8315 board
|
||||
|
||||
3. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
||||
your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
||||
the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
||||
|
||||
$ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
|
||||
|
||||
4. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
||||
to get to the U-Boot command line
|
||||
|
||||
5. Optional. Load the u-boot.bin from the USB disk:
|
||||
|
||||
=> usb start
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:1 200000 u-boot.bin
|
||||
|
||||
and flash it to NOR flash as described above.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Load the kernel and dtb from the first partition of the USB disk:
|
||||
|
||||
=> usb start
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:1 1000000 uImage
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:1 2000000 dtb
|
||||
|
||||
7. Set bootargs and boot up the device
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdb2 rw rootwait console=ttyS0,115200
|
||||
=> bootm 1000000 - 2000000
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from NFS root ---
|
||||
|
||||
Load the kernel and dtb (device tree blob), and boot the system as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the kernel (uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.bin) and dtb (uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.dtb)
|
||||
files from the tmp/deploy directory, and make them available on your TFTP
|
||||
server.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
||||
your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
||||
the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
||||
|
||||
$ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
|
||||
|
||||
3. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
||||
to get to the U-Boot command line
|
||||
|
||||
4. Set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv ipaddr <board ip>
|
||||
=> setenv serverip <tftp server ip>
|
||||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<nfsroot ip>:<rootfs path> ip=<board ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip>:255.255.255.0:mpc8315e:eth0:off console=ttyS0,115200
|
||||
|
||||
5. Download the kernel and dtb, and boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> tftp 1000000 uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.bin
|
||||
=> tftp 2000000 uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.dtb
|
||||
=> bootm 1000000 - 2000000
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from JFFS2 root ---
|
||||
|
||||
1. First boot the board with NFS root.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Erase the MTD partition which will be used as root:
|
||||
|
||||
$ flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3
|
||||
|
||||
3. Copy the JFFS2 image to the MTD partition:
|
||||
|
||||
$ flashcp core-image-minimal-mpc8315e-rdb.jffs2 /dev/mtd3
|
||||
|
||||
4. Then reboot the board and set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter Lite (edgerouter)
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
The EdgeRouter Lite is part of the EdgeMax series. It is a MIPS64 router
|
||||
(based on the Cavium Octeon processor) with 512MB of RAM, which uses an
|
||||
internal USB pendrive for storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Setup instructions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You will need the following:
|
||||
* RJ45 -> serial ("rollover") cable connected from your PC to the CONSOLE
|
||||
port on the device
|
||||
* Ethernet connected to the first ethernet port on the board
|
||||
|
||||
If using NFS as part of the setup process, you will also need:
|
||||
* NFS root setup on your workstation
|
||||
* TFTP server installed on your workstation (if fetching the kernel from
|
||||
TFTP, see below).
|
||||
|
||||
--- Preparation ---
|
||||
|
||||
Build an image (e.g. core-image-minimal) using "edgerouter" as the MACHINE.
|
||||
In the following instruction it is based on core-image-minimal. Another target
|
||||
may be similiar with it.
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from NFS root / kernel via TFTP ---
|
||||
|
||||
Load the kernel, and boot the system as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the kernel (vmlinux) file from the tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter
|
||||
directory, and make them available on your TFTP server.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
||||
your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
||||
the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
||||
|
||||
$ picocom /dev/ttyS0 -b 115200
|
||||
|
||||
3. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
||||
to get to the U-Boot command line
|
||||
|
||||
4. Set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv ipaddr <board ip>
|
||||
=> setenv serverip <tftp server ip>
|
||||
|
||||
5. Download the kernel and boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> tftp tftp $loadaddr vmlinux
|
||||
=> bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<nfsroot ip>:<rootfs path> ip=<board ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip>:<netmask>:edgerouter:eth0:off mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:512k(boot0),512k(boot1),64k@3072k(eeprom)
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from USB disk ---
|
||||
|
||||
To boot from the USB disk, you either need to remove it from the edgerouter
|
||||
box and populate it from another computer, or use a previously booted NFS
|
||||
image and populate from the edgerouter itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Type 1: Use partitioned image
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Remove the USB disk from the edgerouter and insert it into a computer
|
||||
that has access to your build artifacts.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Flash the image.
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-edgerouter.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
3. Insert USB disk into the edgerouter and boot it.
|
||||
|
||||
Type 2: NFS
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If you place the kernel on the ext3 partition, you must re-create the
|
||||
ext3 filesystem, since the factory u-boot can only handle 128 byte inodes and
|
||||
cannot read the partition otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
These boot instructions assume that you have recreated the ext3 filesystem with
|
||||
128 byte inodes, you have an updated uboot or you are running and image capable
|
||||
of making the filesystem on the board itself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Boot from NFS root
|
||||
|
||||
2. Mount the USB disk partition 2 and then extract the contents of
|
||||
tmp/deploy/core-image-XXXX.tar.bz2 into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, copy core-image-minimal-xxx.tar.bz2 and vmlinux into
|
||||
rootfs path on your workstation.
|
||||
|
||||
and then,
|
||||
|
||||
# mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2
|
||||
# tar -xvjpf core-image-minimal-XXX.tar.bz2 -C /media/sda2
|
||||
# cp vmlinux /media/sda2/boot/vmlinux
|
||||
# umount /media/sda2
|
||||
# reboot
|
||||
|
||||
3. Reboot the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted to get to the U-Boot
|
||||
command line:
|
||||
|
||||
# reboot
|
||||
|
||||
4. Load the kernel and boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:2 $loadaddr boot/vmlinux
|
||||
=> bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3 root=/dev/sda2 rw rootwait mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:512k(boot0),512k(boot1),64k@3072k(eeprom)

Yocto Project Hardware Reference BSPs README
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
|
||||
This file gives details about using the Yocto Project hardware reference BSPs.
|
||||
The machines supported can be seen in the conf/machine/ directory and are listed
|
||||
below. There is one per supported hardware architecture and these are primarily
|
||||
used to validate that the Yocto Project works on the hardware arctectures of
|
||||
those machines.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are in doubt about using Poky/OpenEmbedded/Yocto Project with your hardware,
|
||||
consult the documentation for your board/device.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for additional devices is normally added by adding BSP layers to your
|
||||
configuration. For more information please see the Yocto Board Support Package
|
||||
(BSP) Developer's Guide - documentation source is in documentation/bspguide or
|
||||
download the PDF from:
|
||||
|
||||
http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Note that these reference BSPs use the linux-yocto kernel and in general don't
|

Specific Hardware Documentation
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Intel x86 based PCs and devices (genericx86*)
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
The genericx86 and genericx86-64 MACHINE are tested on the following platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Xeon/Core i-Series:
|
||||
+ Intel NUC5 Series - ix-52xx Series SOC (Broadwell)
|
||||
+ Intel NUC6 Series - ix-62xx Series SOC (Skylake)
|
||||
+ Intel Shumway Xeon Server
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Atom platforms:
|
||||
+ MinnowBoard MAX - E3825 SOC (Bay Trail)
|
||||
+ MinnowBoard MAX - Turbot (ADI Engineering) - E3826 SOC (Bay Trail)
|
||||
- These boards can be either 32bot or 64bit modes depending on firmware
|
||||
- See minnowboard.org for details
|
||||
+ Intel Braswell SOC
|
||||
|
||||
and is likely to work on many unlisted Atom/Core/Xeon based devices. The MACHINE
|
||||
type supports ethernet, wifi, sound, and Intel/vesa graphics by default in
|
||||
addition to common PC input devices, busses, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the device, it can boot from a traditional hard-disk, a USB device,
|
||||
or over the network. Writing generated images to physical media is
|
||||
straightforward with a caveat for USB devices. The following examples assume the
|
||||
target boot device is /dev/sdb, be sure to verify this and use the correct
|
||||
device as the following commands are run as root and are not reversable.
|
||||
|
||||
USB Device:
|
||||
1. Build a live image. This image type consists of a simple filesystem
|
||||
without a partition table, which is suitable for USB keys, and with the
|
||||
default setup for the genericx86 machine, this image type is built
|
||||
automatically for any image you build. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the "dd" utility to write the image to the raw block device. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-genericx86.hddimg of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
If the device fails to boot with "Boot error" displayed, or apparently
|
||||
stops just after the SYSLINUX version banner, it is likely the BIOS cannot
|
||||
understand the physical layout of the disk (or rather it expects a
|
||||
particular layout and cannot handle anything else). There are two possible
|
||||
solutions to this problem:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Change the BIOS USB Device setting to HDD mode. The label will vary by
|
||||
device, but the idea is to force BIOS to read the Cylinder/Head/Sector
|
||||
geometry from the device.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use a ".wic" image with an EFI partition
|
||||
|
||||
a) With a default grub-efi bootloader:
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-genericx86-64.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
b) Use systemd-boot instead
|
||||
- Build an image with EFI_PROVIDER="systemd-boot" then use the above
|
||||
dd command to write the image to a USB stick.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Texas Instruments Beaglebone (beaglebone)
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
The Beaglebone is an ARM Cortex-A8 development board with USB, Ethernet, 2D/3D
|
||||
accelerated graphics, audio, serial, JTAG, and SD/MMC. The Black adds a faster
|
||||
CPU, more RAM, eMMC flash and a micro HDMI port. The beaglebone MACHINE is
|
||||
tested on the following platforms:
|
||||
|
||||
o Beaglebone Black A6
|
||||
o Beaglebone A6 (the original "White" model)
|
||||
|
||||
The Beaglebone Black has eMMC, while the White does not. Pressing the USER/BOOT
|
||||
button when powering on will temporarily change the boot order. But for the sake
|
||||
of simplicity, these instructions assume you have erased the eMMC on the Black,
|
||||
so its boot behavior matches that of the White and boots off of SD card. To do
|
||||
this, issue the following commands from the u-boot prompt:
|
||||
|
||||
# mmc dev 1
|
||||
# mmc erase 0 512
|
||||
|
||||
To further tailor these instructions for your board, please refer to the
|
||||
documentation at http://www.beagleboard.org/bone and http://www.beagleboard.org/black
|
||||
|
||||
From a Linux system with access to the image files perform the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build an image. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
$ bitbake core-image-minimal
|
||||
|
||||
2. Use the "dd" utility to write the image to the SD card. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
# dd core-image-minimal-beaglebone.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
3. Insert the SD card into the Beaglebone and boot the board.
|
||||
|
||||
Freescale MPC8315E-RDB (mpc8315e-rdb)
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
The MPC8315 PowerPC reference platform (MPC8315E-RDB) is aimed at hardware and
|
||||
software development of network attached storage (NAS) and digital media server
|
||||
applications. The MPC8315E-RDB features the PowerQUICC II Pro processor, which
|
||||
includes a built-in security accelerator.
|
||||
|
||||
(Note: you may find it easier to order MPC8315E-RDBA; this appears to be the
|
||||
same board in an enclosure with accessories. In any case it is fully
|
||||
compatible with the instructions given here.)
|
||||
|
||||
Setup instructions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You will need the following:
|
||||
* NFS root setup on your workstation
|
||||
* TFTP server installed on your workstation
|
||||
* Straight-thru 9-conductor serial cable (DB9, M/F) connected from your
|
||||
PC to UART1
|
||||
* Ethernet connected to the first ethernet port on the board
|
||||
|
||||
--- Preparation ---
|
||||
|
||||
Note: if you have altered your board's ethernet MAC address(es) from the
|
||||
defaults, or you need to do so because you want multiple boards on the same
|
||||
network, then you will need to change the values in the dts file (patch
|
||||
linux/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8315erdb.dts within the kernel source). If
|
||||
you have left them at the factory default then you shouldn't need to do
|
||||
anything here.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: To boot from USB disk you need u-boot that supports 'ext2load usb'
|
||||
command. You need to setup TFTP server, load u-boot from there and
|
||||
flash it to NOR flash.
|
||||
|
||||
Beware! Flashing bootloader is potentially dangerous operation that can
|
||||
brick your device if done incorrectly. Please, make sure you understand
|
||||
what below commands mean before executing them.
|
||||
|
||||
Load the new u-boot.bin from TFTP server to memory address 200000
|
||||
=> tftp 200000 u-boot.bin
|
||||
|
||||
Disable flash protection
|
||||
=> protect off all
|
||||
|
||||
Erase the old u-boot from fe000000 to fe06ffff in NOR flash.
|
||||
The size is 0x70000 (458752 bytes)
|
||||
=> erase fe000000 fe06ffff
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the new u-boot from address 200000 to fe000000
|
||||
the size is 0x70000. It has to be greater or equal to u-boot.bin size
|
||||
=> cp.b 200000 fe000000 70000
|
||||
|
||||
Enable flash protection again
|
||||
=> protect on all
|
||||
|
||||
Reset the board
|
||||
=> reset
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from USB disk ---
|
||||
|
||||
1. Flash partitioned image to the USB disk
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-mpc8315e-rdb.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
2. Plug USB disk into the MPC8315 board
|
||||
|
||||
3. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
||||
your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
||||
the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
||||
|
||||
$ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
|
||||
|
||||
4. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
||||
to get to the U-Boot command line
|
||||
|
||||
5. Optional. Load the u-boot.bin from the USB disk:
|
||||
|
||||
=> usb start
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:1 200000 u-boot.bin
|
||||
|
||||
and flash it to NOR flash as described above.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Load the kernel and dtb from the first partition of the USB disk:
|
||||
|
||||
=> usb start
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:1 1000000 uImage
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:1 2000000 dtb
|
||||
|
||||
7. Set bootargs and boot up the device
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdb2 rw rootwait console=ttyS0,115200
|
||||
=> bootm 1000000 - 2000000
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from NFS root ---
|
||||
|
||||
Load the kernel and dtb (device tree blob), and boot the system as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the kernel (uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.bin) and dtb (uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.dtb)
|
||||
files from the tmp/deploy directory, and make them available on your TFTP
|
||||
server.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
||||
your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
||||
the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
||||
|
||||
$ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
|
||||
|
||||
3. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
||||
to get to the U-Boot command line
|
||||
|
||||
4. Set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv ipaddr <board ip>
|
||||
=> setenv serverip <tftp server ip>
|
||||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<nfsroot ip>:<rootfs path> ip=<board ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip>:255.255.255.0:mpc8315e:eth0:off console=ttyS0,115200
|
||||
|
||||
5. Download the kernel and dtb, and boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> tftp 1000000 uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.bin
|
||||
=> tftp 2000000 uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.dtb
|
||||
=> bootm 1000000 - 2000000
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from JFFS2 root ---
|
||||
|
||||
1. First boot the board with NFS root.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Erase the MTD partition which will be used as root:
|
||||
|
||||
$ flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3
|
||||
|
||||
3. Copy the JFFS2 image to the MTD partition:
|
||||
|
||||
$ flashcp core-image-minimal-mpc8315e-rdb.jffs2 /dev/mtd3
|
||||
|
||||
4. Then reboot the board and set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter Lite (edgerouter)
|
||||
==============================================
|
||||
|
||||
The EdgeRouter Lite is part of the EdgeMax series. It is a MIPS64 router
|
||||
(based on the Cavium Octeon processor) with 512MB of RAM, which uses an
|
||||
internal USB pendrive for storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Setup instructions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You will need the following:
|
||||
* RJ45 -> serial ("rollover") cable connected from your PC to the CONSOLE
|
||||
port on the device
|
||||
* Ethernet connected to the first ethernet port on the board
|
||||
|
||||
If using NFS as part of the setup process, you will also need:
|
||||
* NFS root setup on your workstation
|
||||
* TFTP server installed on your workstation (if fetching the kernel from
|
||||
TFTP, see below).
|
||||
|
||||
--- Preparation ---
|
||||
|
||||
Build an image (e.g. core-image-minimal) using "edgerouter" as the MACHINE.
|
||||
In the following instruction it is based on core-image-minimal. Another target
|
||||
may be similiar with it.
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from NFS root / kernel via TFTP ---
|
||||
|
||||
Load the kernel, and boot the system as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Get the kernel (vmlinux) file from the tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter
|
||||
directory, and make them available on your TFTP server.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
||||
your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
||||
the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
||||
|
||||
$ picocom /dev/ttyS0 -b 115200
|
||||
|
||||
3. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
||||
to get to the U-Boot command line
|
||||
|
||||
4. Set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> setenv ipaddr <board ip>
|
||||
=> setenv serverip <tftp server ip>
|
||||
|
||||
5. Download the kernel and boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> tftp tftp $loadaddr vmlinux
|
||||
=> bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<nfsroot ip>:<rootfs path> ip=<board ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip>:<netmask>:edgerouter:eth0:off mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:512k(boot0),512k(boot1),64k@3072k(eeprom)
|
||||
|
||||
--- Booting from USB disk ---
|
||||
|
||||
To boot from the USB disk, you either need to remove it from the edgerouter
|
||||
box and populate it from another computer, or use a previously booted NFS
|
||||
image and populate from the edgerouter itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Type 1: Use partitioned image
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Remove the USB disk from the edgerouter and insert it into a computer
|
||||
that has access to your build artifacts.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Flash the image.
|
||||
|
||||
# dd if=core-image-minimal-edgerouter.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
3. Insert USB disk into the edgerouter and boot it.
|
||||
|
||||
Type 2: NFS
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If you place the kernel on the ext3 partition, you must re-create the
|
||||
ext3 filesystem, since the factory u-boot can only handle 128 byte inodes and
|
||||
cannot read the partition otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
These boot instructions assume that you have recreated the ext3 filesystem with
|
||||
128 byte inodes, you have an updated uboot or you are running and image capable
|
||||
of making the filesystem on the board itself.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1. Boot from NFS root
|
||||
|
||||
2. Mount the USB disk partition 2 and then extract the contents of
|
||||
tmp/deploy/core-image-XXXX.tar.bz2 into it.
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, copy core-image-minimal-xxx.tar.bz2 and vmlinux into
|
||||
rootfs path on your workstation.
|
||||
|
||||
and then,
|
||||
|
||||
# mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2
|
||||
# tar -xvjpf core-image-minimal-XXX.tar.bz2 -C /media/sda2
|
||||
# cp vmlinux /media/sda2/boot/vmlinux
|
||||
# umount /media/sda2
|
||||
# reboot
|
||||
|
||||
3. Reboot the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted to get to the U-Boot
|
||||
command line:
|
||||
|
||||
# reboot
|
||||
|
||||
4. Load the kernel and boot:
|
||||
|
||||
=> ext2load usb 0:2 $loadaddr boot/vmlinux
|
||||
=> bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3 root=/dev/sda2 rw rootwait mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:512k(boot0),512k(boot1),64k@3072k(eeprom)
