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. + + + +Nicolas Pitre +nico@fluxnic.net + +June 12, 2001 + + +Status of peripherals in -rmk tree (updated 14/10/2001) +------------------------------------------------------- + +Assabet: + Serial ports: + Radio: TX, RX, CTS, DSR, DCD, RI + - PM: Not tested. + - COM: TX, RX, CTS, DSR, DCD, RTS, DTR, PM + - PM: Not tested. + - I2C: Implemented, not fully tested. + - L3: Fully tested, pass. + - PM: Not tested. + + Video: + - LCD: Fully tested.
