True, if you can use a rom emulator on the given board, which you can't do with all boards. But then you need to connect the emulator to the board every time you want to do something ...

That's why the <board> directory in arch/mips/zboot :-) BTW, I added the new zboot directory in sourceforge because arch/mips/boot was in the way and I didn't want to mess with that one. Ultimately I don't care if the zImage support is in each <board> directory or in a new directory like arch/mips/zboot, as long as the support for zImages and, eventually, initrd, is there. BTW, if you don't package up your work in a patch that Ralf would take, the bits get lost over time. I don't know if you care, but that's how linux evolves so I hope you submit your patches upstream rather than allowing them to get lost in mailing lists.

Take a look at arch/mips/zboot. The only zImage support in that directory is for the Alchemy Pb1000 board. That's one way to do it and I basically copied it from the ppc tree. You'll have to do some work to add support for whatever board you want, but the example should be sufficient, if you're a developer. If you're a casual user, unfortunately you're out of luck.

I guess Bill Gates was right, he practically created the Open Source movement by "providing" an excellent BIOS. </sarcasm> One of Embedded Linux's unspoken "problems" is lack of truly universal boot program. GRUB is as univeral as x86, not! Ppcboot is one of the best, but notice the 'ppc' in the name? I gather that PMON is used by many in MIPS... but that is another secret you won't find revealed, even in Jun Sun's execellent MIPS Porting Guide. :-) COming from a certain proprietary RTOS, I believe, using the OS itself, as the "boot monitor" is best approach. All reusable code, fastest bootstrap (i.e. no 2nd stage loading), etc... But, of course, not optimal for size, though my image is 1.3M which includes a 580K cramfs ramdisk. > Download the linux-mips drop-in tree from sourceforge.net. Take a look > at arch/mips/zboot. The only zImage support in that directory is for > the Alchemy Pb1000 board. That's one way to do it and I basically I finally did rework this. I have a single 360 line "<board>/misc.c" file, a <board>/Boot.make included by arch/linux/boot/Makefile, and <board>/boot.S. There is no cut & pasting of code elsewhere in the linux tree, there are no new directories (zboot, compressed, blah-blah). Its just glue that sticks in front of vmlinux.bin.gz. Where <board> is Korva (AKA Markham), for now. Support for compressed, or not, plus linking a kernel to run at low memory or high. Running at 'high' allows the kernel to load another kernel into 'low' memory without burning flash. All selectable from "make menuconfig". Keeping up with sf.net is one of my failings... so no patch, sorry. Attached are the key files, if anyone thinks this is worth pursuing.

Hmmm, okay. I probably shouldn't even have this macro. I had hacked things earlier so I didn't have to run 'make' from linux/. Thanks for the quick feedback, mate!

I've become a fan of MIPS Tech's yamon; it's small, it works, it has just the features I need in an embedded system, and, did I say it works?. Unfortunately the code is released under NDA only. If MIPS opened the code, I think you would see it on many more boards. > COming from a certain proprietary RTOS, I believe, using the OS > itself, as the "boot monitor" is best approach.

That's OK, I'm sure someone with interest in the Korva can create the patch. But I fail to see how having this code in every <board> directory is better than having a separate boot directory like the ppc arch. The ppc-like zImage support I added is a bit different from the patch below. It assumes that you do have a boot loader and the 'kernel loader' is basically separate from the kernel image itself. Adding initrd support that's not statically compiled in the kernel should be pretty easy and I like that approach better than statically compiled initrd images.

"LinuxMon", I'll dub it, solves the problem... for all architectures. :-) Attached is the trivial 'reload' script for loading linux on top of linux. It's just a wrapper for 'dd'.

What do you do > before that point? With a ROM Emulator, bringing up Linux is no harder than bringing up a boot monitor or any embedded RTOS, no? A day or three, if you are lucky and brilliant. A somewhat longer if you're not lucky. :-) Getting serial I/O is always the first nut to crack... with Monta Vista's dbg_io.c, this is greatly simplified.

True, if you can use a rom emulator on the given board, which you can't do with all boards. But then you need to connect the emulator to the board every time you want to do something ...

That's why the <board> directory in arch/mips/zboot :-) BTW, I added the new zboot directory in sourceforge because arch/mips/boot was in the way and I didn't want to mess with that one. Ultimately I don't care if the zImage support is in each <board> directory or in a new directory like arch/mips/zboot, as long as the support for zImages and, eventually, initrd, is there. BTW, if you don't package up your work in a patch that Ralf would take, the bits get lost over time. I don't know if you care, but that's how linux evolves so I hope you submit your patches upstream rather than allowing them to get lost in mailing lists.

Yes, it is (among other uses) the default target for DECstations, the DECstation firmware cannot tftp-boot anything else.

I am standardizing the list of supported formats for linux boot, as part of the kbuild 2.5 rewrite, I will add vmlinux.ecoff to the master list. AFAICT ecoff is only used on mips but, since ecoff is not an arch specific object format, it makes sense to make it a generic kbuild target, like elf, srec and bin. To that end, I looked at moving elf2ecoff and addinitrd to an arch independent directory so everybody could use those tools, alas both contain mips specific code. Any idea how much work is required to make elf2ecoff and addinitrd into generic utilities? Is it worth the effort or should they stay as mips only? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Last i had a look elf2ecoff and addinitrd were not really nice recovering from toolchain problems like pages of null between sections which was a common fault a couple months back. This lead to addinitrd not beeing able to attach a ramdisk that the kernel would be able to find it. BTW: Shouldn't objcopy be able to convert an ELF into an ECOFF ?

In theory yes, in practice that was found to be so problematic that we just gave up and use those NetBSD tools. Ralf ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

Elf2ecoff is probably going not to be used one day anymore, i.e. once binutils are fixed. Right now there is a problem in marking ELF executables impure (non-paged). Ultimately either objcopy or even ld directly is going to be used for ECOFF binary creation. -- + Maciej W.
