<h2>Running U-Boot<a class="headerlink" href="#running-u-boot" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
|
||
<p>U-Boot mainline v2020.10 release is tested at the time of writing. To build a
|
||
U-Boot mainline bootloader that can be booted by the SABRE Lite machine, use
|
||
the mx6qsabrelite_defconfig with similar commands as described above for Linux:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$<span class="w"> </span><span class="nb">export</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nv">CROSS_COMPILE</span><span class="o">=</span>arm-linux-gnueabihf-

<p>Note we need to adjust settings by:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$<span class="w"> </span>make<span class="w"> </span>menuconfig
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>then manually select the following configuration in U-Boot:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<div><p>Device Tree Control > Provider of DTB for DT Control > Embedded DTB</p>
|
||
</div></blockquote>
|
||
<p>To start U-Boot using the SABRE Lite machine, provide the u-boot binary to
|
||
the -kernel argument, along with an SD card image with rootfs:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$<span class="w"> </span>qemu-system-arm<span class="w"> </span>-M<span class="w"> </span>sabrelite<span class="w"> </span>-smp<span class="w"> </span><span class="m">4</span><span class="w"> </span>-m<span class="w"> </span>1G<span class="w"> </span><span class="se">\</span>

<span class="w"> </span>-display<span class="w"> </span>none<span class="w"> </span>-serial<span class="w"> </span>null<span class="w"> </span>-serial<span class="w"> </span>stdio<span class="w"> </span><span class="se">\</span>
|
||
<span class="w"> </span>-kernel<span class="w"> </span>u-boot
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>The following example shows booting Linux kernel from dhcp, and uses the
|
||
rootfs on an SD card. This requires some additional command line parameters
|
||
for QEMU:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>-nic user,tftp=/path/to/kernel/zImage \
|
||
-drive file=sdcard.img,id=rootfs -device sd-card,drive=rootfs
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>The directory for the built-in TFTP server should also contain the device tree
|
||
blob of the SABRE Lite board. The sample SD card image was populated with the
|
||
root file system with one single partition. You may adjust the kernel “root=”
|
||
boot parameter accordingly.</p>
|
||
<p>After U-Boot boots, type the following commands in the U-Boot command shell to
|
||
boot the Linux kernel:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>=> setenv ethaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
||
=> setenv bootfile zImage
|
||
=> dhcp
|
||
=> tftpboot 14000000 imx6q-sabrelite.dtb
|
||
=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmcblk3p1
