[U-Boot] [Question] Linux Boot with u-boot 2014.04 on Zynq board

[U-Boot] [Question] Linux Boot with u-boot 2014.04 on Zynq board

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hi Michal,

I am a user of Zynq ZC-706 board.

On u-boot 2014.01 release, I put Kernel Image, Device Tree,
Ramdisk into "fit.itb" and I could successfully boot Linux Kernel.

But I don't know how to boot Kernel on u-boot 2014.04 release.
Please help!

The default boot sequence of Zynq on the u-boot-2014.04 release
is Falcon boot, right?

I am trying to boot Linux with
  - U-boot 2014.04
  - Linux Kernel 3.14
  - SD boot mode
  - ZC706 board

What I did is roughly like this:

 ## U-Boot ##
[1] Build u-boot
[2] Convert  spl/u-boot-spl.bin into  boot.bin
      with BootGen tool
[3] Copy "boot.bin" to FAT-fomatted SD card.

 ##Kernel ##
[1] Build kernel  with  multi_v7_defconfig setting
[2] Copy uImage to the SD card
[3] Rename zynq-zc706.dtb into system.dtb
     and copy to SD card


Kernel boot failed to mount the root device.


My question is, how to pass an init ramdisk?
In which file-name  should I copy init ramdisk
into SD card?

How should I load the init ramdisk  from the  SD card?



Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada

I personally use SPL->full u-boot -> linux
but IRC I have also tested SPL->linux.

Before you build u-boot you have to copy ps7_init.c/h from your
hw design to the u-boot if you want to use SPL.

yes - or if you look at xilinx git u-boot repo we have one
simple python script which does this automatically without bootgen.

yes.

I personally use SD boot mode it means boot.bin has just u-boot SPL
and u-boot.img on SD stores full u-boot.

Keep in your mind that using U-BOOT SPL is not fully supported flow.
Supported flow is fsbl->u-boot->linux.

this step just depend on your configuration.

I am using cpio compiled in directly in the kernel.

Xilinx OSL versions are using initramdisk
which you can download here.
http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Zynq+2014.1+Release

> How should I load the init ramdisk  from the  SD card?

And this is the command which OSL version are using.

	"sdboot=if mmcinfo; then " \
"run uenvboot; " \
"echo Copying Linux from SD to RAM... && " \
"fatload mmc 0 0x3000000 ${kernel_image} && " \
"fatload mmc 0 0x2A00000 ${devicetree_image} && " \
"fatload mmc 0 0x2000000 ${ramdisk_image} && " \
"bootm 0x3000000 0x2000000 0x2A00000; " \
"fi\0" \

You can probably add ramdisk_image to ITS format too.

Thanks,
Michal

Hi Michal.

Oops, I forgot to mention this.
I did that.

I found tools/zynq-boot-bin.py
Is this the one you mentioned?

On u-boot 2014.04 release, I don't know how to use full u-boot either.

Full u-boot image of zynq enables CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE, right?
I think u-boot.img does not include device tree.

Should I combine u-boot.img and device tree by myself? Like this?

cat u-boot.img u-boot.dtb > u-boot.img.tmp
mv u-boot.img.tmp u-boot.img

Or should I disable CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE?

OK.
Maybe I should stick to the old flow.

Yes. I know this works.
But in my understanding, SPL cannot use this command.

My question is how SPL can load the init ramdisk.

It looks like spl_load_image_fat_os() function loads
"system.dtb" and "uImage".
But I could not find which code loads ramdisk.
Not supported yet?

ok. Then I expect you are able to see at least u-boot SPL messages.

yes that's the script - if you directly use that repo it is also
wired in Makefile that boot.bin is automatically created.

I have this on 2014.04 but I didn't validate this yet.

This is what I am getting - u-boot.img has full u-boot.

In mainline yes but I am not using it. It is nice for playing
but it is fine just to disable it and you don't need to use dts at all.
Just disable it in zynq config file.

I am not sure if this will work because img is legacy u-boot format
with entry point and load address. That's why this will not work.
But OF also support to add DTB to hardcoded address but SPL has to be
fixed for that.

> Or should I disable CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE?

That's what I am doing and that's what you can see in our xilinx git repo.

It depends what you want to do. If you want to get just linux run
then just use images from wiki and change the kernel.

yes, I think it is not supported.
I haven't had a time but Simon mentioned that they have
enabled ITS format in SPL and it should be straight forward
to do so. Then you can just use full ITS instead of DTB, kernel, ramdisk
in separate images.

Thanks,
Michal

Thanks!
Now I understand how to boot u-boot and Linux.

I am not convinced why unsupported CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE is enabled.

U-boot mainline and u-boot-xlnx diverged with this point.
Which way are you going in your future development?
U-Boot control with device tree?  or without device tree?

Yes.
I want to run U-boot and Linux on a Zynq board.
I also want to use new features in the U-Boot mainline such as Kbuild.

That is my motivation to try to run u-boot-2014.04 on a zynq board.

You can run Linux directly from SPL. I have tried that but without
FIT it is not so nice.

Jagan has enabled it - don't know why but it is enabled by default.

yes. I have tried OF_SEPARATE and if you copy DTS from the kernel (our repo)
you can use it and should work. At least worked when I have tried it.

u-boot should be configured from device-tree.
We are pushing a lot of drivers to mainline and we are reviewing the whole
binding to ensure that it is correct that's why I haven't pushed
any DTS file to u-boot source code for reference boards.

ok. Just disable OF_CONTROL for now and I haven't pushed that SPL fpga
feature because it needs to be cleanup.

[U-Boot] [Question] Linux Boot with u-boot 2014.04 on Zynq board

[Heshsham Abdul Basit]

Hi Masahiro,

Although this is not directed to me, but perhaps I can help you out. I am
working on zc702 board.

 Can you copy paste the content of your bif file that you use with bootgen
to generate BOOT.BIN file?


Thanks and regards,

Heshsham

{
   [bootloader,load=0x00000000]u-boot/spl/u-boot-spl.bin
}
