The Intel Assabet (SA-1110 evaluation) board
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Please see:
|
|
http://developer.intel.com
|
|
|
|
Also some notes from John G Dorsey <jd5q@andrew.cmu.edu>:
|
|
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wearable/software/assabet.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building the kernel
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
To build the kernel with current defaults:
|
|
|
|
make assabet_config
|
|
make oldconfig
|
|
make zImage
|
|
|
|
The resulting kernel image should be available in linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing a bootloader
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
A couple of bootloaders able to boot Linux on Assabet are available:
|
|
|
|
BLOB (http://www.lartmaker.nl/lartware/blob/)
|
|
|
|
BLOB is a bootloader used within the LART project. Some contributed
|
|
patches were merged into BLOB to add support for Assabet.
|
|
|
|
Compaq's Bootldr + John Dorsey's patch for Assabet support
|
|
(http://www.handhelds.org/Compaq/bootldr.html)
|
|
(http://www.wearablegroup.org/software/bootldr/)
|
|
|
|
Bootldr is the bootloader developed by Compaq for the iPAQ Pocket PC.
|
|
John Dorsey has produced add-on patches to add support for Assabet and
|
|
the JFFS filesystem.
|
|
|
|
RedBoot (http://sources.redhat.com/redboot/)
|
|
|
|
RedBoot is a bootloader developed by Red Hat based on the eCos RTOS
|
|
hardware abstraction layer. It supports Assabet amongst many other
|
|
hardware platforms.
|
|
|
|
RedBoot is currently the recommended choice since it's the only one to have
|
|
networking support, and is the most actively maintained.
|
|
|
|
Brief examples on how to boot Linux with RedBoot are shown below. But first
|
|
you need to have RedBoot installed in your flash memory. A known to work
|
|
precompiled RedBoot binary is available from the following location:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/n/nico/
|
|
ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/people/nico/
|
|
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/arm/sa-1100-patches/
|
|
|
|
Look for redboot-assabet*.tgz. Some installation infos are provided in
|
|
redboot-assabet*.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Initial RedBoot configuration
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The commands used here are explained in The RedBoot User's Guide available
|
|
on-line at http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs.html.
|
|
Please refer to it for explanations.
|
|
|
|
If you have a CF network card (my Assabet kit contained a CF+ LP-E from
|
|
Socket Communications Inc.), you should strongly consider using it for TFTP
|
|
file transfers. You must insert it before RedBoot runs since it can't detect
|
|
it dynamically.
|
|
|
|
To initialize the flash directory:
|
|
|
|
fis init -f
|
|
|
|
To initialize the non-volatile settings, like whether you want to use BOOTP or
|
|
a static IP address, etc, use this command:
|
|
|
|
fconfig -i
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing a kernel image into flash
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
First, the kernel image must be loaded into RAM. If you have the zImage file
|
|
available on a TFTP server:
|
|
|
|
load zImage -r -b 0x100000
|
|
|
|
If you rather want to use Y-Modem upload over the serial port:
|
|
|
|
load -m ymodem -r -b 0x100000
|
|
|
|
To write it to flash:
|
|
|
|
fis create "Linux kernel" -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000
|
|
|
|
|
|
Booting the kernel
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The kernel still requires a filesystem to boot. A ramdisk image can be loaded
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
load ramdisk_image.gz -r -b 0x800000
|
|
|
|
Again, Y-Modem upload can be used instead of TFTP by replacing the file name
|
|
by '-y ymodem'.
|
|
|
|
Now the kernel can be retrieved from flash like this:
|
|
|
|
fis load "Linux kernel"
|
|
|
|
or loaded as described previously. To boot the kernel:
|
|
|
|
exec -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000
|
|
|
|
The ramdisk image could be stored into flash as well, but there are better
|
|
solutions for on-flash filesystems as mentioned below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using JFFS2
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Using JFFS2 (the Second Journalling Flash File System) is probably the most
|
|
convenient way to store a writable filesystem into flash. JFFS2 is used in
|
|
conjunction with the MTD layer which is responsible for low-level flash
|
|
management. More information on the Linux MTD can be found on-line at:
|
|
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/. A JFFS howto with some infos about
|
|
creating JFFS/JFFS2 images is available from the same site.
|
|
|
|
For instance, a sample JFFS2 image can be retrieved from the same FTP sites
|
|
mentioned below for the precompiled RedBoot image.
|
|
|
|
To load this file:
|
|
|
|
load sample_img.jffs2 -r -b 0x100000
|
|
|
|
The result should look like:
|
|
|
|
RedBoot> load sample_img.jffs2 -r -b 0x100000
|
|
Raw file loaded 0x00100000-0x00377424
|
|
|
|
Now we must know the size of the unallocated flash:
|
|
|
|
fis free
|
|
|
|
Result:
|
|
|
|
RedBoot> fis free
|
|
0x500E0000 .. 0x503C0000
|
|
|
|
The values above may be different depending on the size of the filesystem and
|
|
the type of flash. See their usage below as an example and take care of
|
|
substituting yours appropriately.
|
|
|
|
We must determine some values:
|
|
|
|
size of unallocated flash: 0x503c0000 - 0x500e0000 = 0x2e0000
|
|
size of the filesystem image: 0x00377424 - 0x00100000 = 0x277424
|
|
|
|
We want to fit the filesystem image of course, but we also want to give it all
|
|
the remaining flash space as well. To write it:
|
|
|
|
fis unlock -f 0x500E0000 -l 0x2e0000
|
|
fis erase -f 0x500E0000 -l 0x2e0000
|
|
fis write -b 0x100000 -l 0x277424 -f 0x500E0000
|
|
fis create "JFFS2" -n -f 0x500E0000 -l 0x2e0000
|
|
|
|
Now the filesystem is associated to a MTD "partition" once Linux has discovered
|
|
what they are in the boot process. From Redboot, the 'fis list' command
|
|
displays them:
|
|
|
|
RedBoot> fis list
|
|
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
|
|
RedBoot 0x50000000 0x50000000 0x00020000 0x00000000
|
|
RedBoot config 0x503C0000 0x503C0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
|
|
FIS directory 0x503E0000 0x503E0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
|
|
Linux kernel 0x50020000 0x00100000 0x000C0000 0x00000000
|
|
JFFS2 0x500E0000 0x500E0000 0x002E0000 0x00000000
|
|
|
|
However Linux should display something like:
|
|
|
|
SA1100 flash: probing 32-bit flash bus
|
|
SA1100 flash: Found 2 x16 devices at 0x0 in 32-bit mode
|
|
Using RedBoot partition definition
|
|
Creating 5 MTD partitions on "SA1100 flash":
|
|
0x00000000-0x00020000 : "RedBoot"
|
|
0x00020000-0x000e0000 : "Linux kernel"
|
|
0x000e0000-0x003c0000 : "JFFS2"
|
|
0x003c0000-0x003e0000 : "RedBoot config"
|
|
0x003e0000-0x00400000 : "FIS directory"
|
|
|
|
What's important here is the position of the partition we are interested in,
|
|
which is the third one. Within Linux, this correspond to /dev/mtdblock2.
|
|
Therefore to boot Linux with the kernel and its root filesystem in flash, we
|
|
need this RedBoot command:
|
|
|
|
fis load "Linux kernel"
|
|
exec -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000 -c "root=/dev/mtdblock2"
|
|
|
|
Of course other filesystems than JFFS might be used, like cramfs for example.
|
|
You might want to boot with a root filesystem over NFS, etc. It is also
|
|
possible, and sometimes more convenient, to flash a filesystem directly from
|
|
within Linux while booted from a ramdisk or NFS. The Linux MTD repository has
|
|
many tools to deal with flash memory as well, to erase it for example. JFFS2
|
|
can then be mounted directly on a freshly erased partition and files can be
|
|
copied over directly. Etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
RedBoot scripting
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
All the commands above aren't so useful if they have to be typed in every
|
|
time the Assabet is rebooted. Therefore it's possible to automate the boot
|
|
process using RedBoot's scripting capability.
|
|
|
|
For example, I use this to boot Linux with both the kernel and the ramdisk
|
|
images retrieved from a TFTP server on the network:
|
|
|
|
RedBoot> fconfig
|
|
Run script at boot: false true
|
|
Boot script:
|
|
Enter script, terminate with empty line
|
|
>> load zImage -r -b 0x100000
|
|
>> load ramdisk_ks.gz -r -b 0x800000
|
|
>> exec -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000
|
|
>>
|
|
Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 3
|
|
Use BOOTP for network configuration: true
|
|
GDB connection port: 9000
|
|
Network debug at boot time: false
|
|
Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - are you sure (y/n)? y
|
|
|
|
Then, rebooting the Assabet is just a matter of waiting for the login prompt.
