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. Without such an option, the BIOS generally boots the device in USB-ZIP - mode. To write an image to a USB device that will be bootable in - USB-ZIP mode, carry out the following actions: - - a. Determine the geometry of your USB device using fdisk: - - # fdisk /dev/sdb - Command (m for help): p - - Disk /dev/sdb: 4011 MB, 4011491328 bytes - 124 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1019 cylinders, total 7834944 sectors - ... - - Command (m for help): q - - b. Configure the USB device for USB-ZIP mode: - - # mkdiskimage -4 /dev/sdb 1019 124 62 - - Where 1019, 124 and 62 are the cylinder, head and sectors/track counts - as reported by fdisk (substitute the values reported for your device). - When the operation has finished and the access LED (if any) on the - device stops flashing, remove and reinsert the device to allow the - kernel to detect the new partition layout. - - c. Copy the contents of the image to the USB-ZIP mode device: - - # mkdir /tmp/image - # mkdir /tmp/usbkey - # mount -o loop core-image-minimal-genericx86.hddimg /tmp/image - # mount /dev/sdb4 /tmp/usbkey - # cp -rf /tmp/image/* /tmp/usbkey - - d. Install the syslinux boot loader: - - # syslinux /dev/sdb4 - - e. Unmount everything: - - # umount /tmp/image - # umount /tmp/usbkey - - Install the boot device in the target board and configure the BIOS to boot - from it. - - For more details on the USB-ZIP scenario, see the syslinux documentation: - http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/usbkey.txt;hb=HEAD - - -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 -as root, replacing mmcblk0* with the SD card device on your machine (such as sdc -if used via a usb card reader): - - 1. Partition and format an SD card: - # fdisk -lu /dev/mmcblk0 - - Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 3951 MB, 3951034368 bytes - 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 480 cylinders, total 7716864 sectors - Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes - - Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System - /dev/mmcblk0p1 * 63 144584 72261 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) - /dev/mmcblk0p2 144585 465884 160650 83 Linux - - # mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n "boot" /dev/mmcblk0p1 - # mke2fs -j -L "root" /dev/mmcblk0p2 - - The following assumes the SD card partitions 1 and 2 are mounted at - /media/boot and /media/root respectively. Removing the card and reinserting - it will do just that on most modern Linux desktop environments. - - The files referenced below are made available after the build in - build/tmp/deploy/images. - - 2. Install the boot loaders - # cp MLO-beaglebone /media/boot/MLO - # cp u-boot-beaglebone.img /media/boot/u-boot.img - - 3. Install the root filesystem - # tar x -C /media/root -f core-image-$IMAGE_TYPE-beaglebone.tar.bz2 - - 4. If using core-image-base or core-image-sato images, the SD card is ready - and rootfs already contains the kernel, modules and device tree (DTB) - files necessary to be booted with U-boot's default configuration, so - skip directly to step 8. - For core-image-minimal, proceed through next steps. - - 5. If using core-image-minimal rootfs, install the modules - # tar x -C /media/root -f modules-beaglebone.tgz - - 6. If using core-image-minimal rootfs, install the kernel zImage into /boot - directory of rootfs - # cp zImage-beaglebone.bin /media/root/boot/zImage - - 7. If using core-image-minimal rootfs, also install device tree (DTB) files - into /boot directory of rootfs - # cp zImage-am335x-bone.dtb /media/root/boot/am335x-bone.dtb - # cp zImage-am335x-boneblack.dtb /media/root/boot/am335x-boneblack.dtb - - 8. Unmount the SD partitions, insert the SD card into the Beaglebone, and - boot the Beaglebone - - -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. - ---- 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 root --- - -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: Mounted USB disk ------------------------- - -To boot from the USB disk there are two available partitions on the factory -USB storage. The rest of this guide assumes that these partitions are left -intact. If you change the partition scheme, you must update your boot method -appropriately. - -The standard partitions are: - - - 1: vfat partition containing factory kernels - - 2: ext3 partition for the root filesystem. - -You can place the kernel on either partition 1, or partition 2, but the roofs -must go on partition 2 (due to its size). - -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. - -Steps: - - 1. Remove the USB disk from the edgerouter and insert it into a computer - that has access to your build artifacts. - - 2. Copy the kernel image to the USB storage (assuming discovered as 'sdb' on - the development machine): - - 2a) if booting from vfat - - # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt - # cp tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter/vmlinux /mnt - # umount /mnt - - 2b) if booting from ext3 - - # mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/sdb2 - # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt - # mkdir /mnt/boot - # cp tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter/vmlinux /mnt/boot - # umount /mnt - - 3. Extract the rootfs to the USB storage ext3 partition - - # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt - # tar -xvjpf core-image-minimal-XXX.tar.bz2 -C /mnt - # umount /mnt - - 4. Reboot the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted to get to the U-Boot - command line: - - 5.

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.
