[U-Boot] [U-boot] sandbox test script question

[U-Boot] [U-boot] sandbox test script question

[TigerLiu at via-alliance.com]

Hi, Simon:

I tried to run test/image scripts:

          test/image/test-imagetools.sh - multi-file images

          test/image/test-fit.py        - FIT images

 

1.       test-imagetools.sh

need to copy u-boot/tools directory to sandbox dir manually, otherwise
it would fail.

2.       test-fit.py

it failed.

Error msgs:

IOError : [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/tmpfLQZPq/kernel-out.bin'

 

And, run 'ls /tmp/tmpfLQZPq'

It had test-kernel.bin, not kernel-out.bin

 

Best wishes,

so far seems no doc yet.
If you want to access the host file system, you need apply a patch: 
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/358406/ (fix the typo)

then you can access the host file system by use: 'sb load hostfs 0 
200000 /home/xxx'

if you want to access a file as a block device.
you need use 'sb bind 0 test.img' to bind a file as a host 0 interface.

Hope it helps.

Patches welcome! You could add a section to the sandbox README
describing how to use the block device.

Thanks Josh. This image could be created using a loopback device in
linux with a filesystem on it. Maybe something like this:

http://www.walkernews.net/2007/07/01/create-linux-loopback-file-system-on-disk-file/

Once you have created it, U-Boot should be able to access it.

Simon

Hi, Josh:
Thanks a lot!
Follwing these steps, I could load itb to memory:
1. sb bind 0 /lionfs
2. ext4load host 0 100000 testkernel.itb

Best wishes,
