Barebox

Markv: fixed minor typo's

The Barebox bootloader was started in 2007 as an attempt to work around the limitations that U-Boot shows through its age. Originally dubbed U-Boot v2, it now has a different name because its design goals are different and it has it's own community in the meantime.

Barebox now supports arm, powerpc, mips, nios2, blackfin, x86 and a Linux userspace port called "sandbox".

Features:

*Devices/Drivers Model
**ata
**eeprom
**I2c
**nand
**nor
**net
**mfd
**MMC
**serial
**SPI
**USB
***Host
***Devices
**Framebuffer
*Filesystem
*Posix Interface
*Hush
*password
*DFU
*Menu

= Build and configuration =

On contrary of U-Boot, Barebox uses Kbuild for the build and Kconfig for the configuration.

For the environment, a file system is used so you will not have to clobber any config.h file.

= Sandbox =

One of the great thinks with barebox is the sandbox.

Basically you can develop and debug generic feature on your host:

1) compile it

for other arch than x86 or ppc you need to use the next branch or the mainline

As I just recently fix the support for all host

ARCH=sandbox make sandbox_defconfig

ARCH=sandbox make

now just start it

= Menu =

It's on ather great feature

Add Menu Framework

Introduce a menu framework that allow us to create list menu to simplify
barebox and make it more user-frendly

This kind of menu is very usefull when you do not have a keyboard or a
serial console attached to your board to allow you to interract with
barebox

For the develloper part,
The framework introduce two API

1) C
that allow you to create menu, submenu, entry and complex menu action

2) Command
that allow you as the C API to create menu, submenu, entry and complex
menu action but this time the actions will be store in a function and
then be evaluated and excecuted at runtime.

barebox:/ help menu
Usage: menu [OPTION]...
Manage Menu
-m menu
-l list
-s show
Advanced
-e menu entry
-a add
-r remove
-S select

How to

Show menu
(-A auto select delay)
(-d auto select description)
menu -s -m <menu> [-A delay] [-d auto_display]

List menu
menu -l

Add a menu
menu -a -m <name> -d <description>

Remove a menu
menu -r -m <name>

Add an entry
(-R for do no exit the menu after executing the command)
(-b for box style 1 for selected)
(and optional -c for the command to run when we change the state)
menu -e -a -m <menu> -c <command> [-R] [-b 0|1] -d <description>
Add a submenu entry
(-R is not needed)
(-b for box style 1 for selected)
(and -c is not needed)
menu -e -a -m <menu> -u submenu -d [-b 0|1] <description>

Remove an entry
menu -e -r -m <name> -n <num>

Select an entry
menu -m <menu> -S -n <entry num starting at 1>

List menu
menu -e -l [menu]

Menu example
menu -a -m boot -d "Boot Menu"
menu -e -a -m boot -c boot -d "Boot"
menu -e -a -m boot -c reset -d "Reset"
menu -s -m boot

An example

menu -a -m boot -d "Welcome on Barebox Boot Sequence"
menu -e -a -m boot -c boot -d " 1: linux_2_6_36"
menu -e -a -m boot -c boot -d " 2: linux_2_6_39"

U-boot environment variables in linux

2010-11-07T14:08:25Z

Markv: Added OpenWrt menuconfig location

[[Category: U-Boot]]
[[Category: Linux]]
[[Category: OMAP]]
U-Boot makes use of environment variables which can be read and set from the U-Boot command line with ''printenv'' and ''setenv''. It can be helpful to read and set these variables from Linux as well. The U-Boot distribution has sources for these commands, named ''fw_printenv'' and ''fw_setenv''.

== Installation ==
===OpenEmbedded===
The Angstrom OE distribution does not build the tools automatically. I'm a novice at OE and bitbake, so here are the instructions for building and installing the tools manually. Theses instructions assume that you have already built the angstrom distribution for the beagle board. Substitute directories and compiler locations to match your environment.
#cd to the source for U-Boot in the OE tree. For me, it is at "../oe/tmp/work/beagleboard-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/u-boot-git-r18.1/git"
#manually build fw_printenv with make: "make env ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE= /usr/local/angstrom/arm/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnuabi-"
#if the compile succeeded, you should have fw_printenv in the U-Boot directory tools/env. Copy fw_printenv to /sbin on the root filesystem of your beagle board.
#the fw_printenv binary also contains the code for fw_setenv. the functions of fw_setenv are run when the program is invoked with the name "fw_setenv". this is most easily accomplished by creating a symbolic link from fw_printenv to fw_setenv, as in "ln -sf /sbin/fw_printenv /sbin/fw_setenv"

===Buildroot===
Buildroot can automatically build these tools for you. You just have to:
make menuconfig
and then select the following option:
Target filesystem options --->
[*] Das U-Boot Boot Monitor --->
[*] fw_printenv tool in target

Tools will be installed in ''/usr/sbin/'' of your target's rootfs.

===OpenWrt===
Like Buildroot, OpenWrt can build these tools too but you will find them in a different location in the menu:
Utilities --->
[*] uboot-envtools

Tools will also be installed in ''/usr/sbin/''.

===All distribs===
'''The last and most important step''' is creating the config file for the utilities. The file name is ''fw_env.config'' and it lives in ''/etc''.
To create this file, you need to know information about where U-Boot stores its env variables. Specifically, you need the mtd device name, the device offset, the env size and the flash sector size. I found most of what I needed by looking in the file ''/proc/mtd''. Here is my ''fw_env.config'' file:

# Configuration file for fw_(printenv/saveenv) utility.
# Up to two entries are valid, in this case the redundand
# environment sector is assumed present.
# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size
/dev/mtd2 0x0000 0x20000 0x20000

== Usage ==
=== Printing all the environment variables===

# fw_printenv
bootdelay=1
baudrate=115200
ipaddr=192.168.0.2
serverip=192.168.0.1
netmask=255.255.255.0
bootfile="uImage"
filesize=B81A24
bootcmd=nand read 80200000 280000 400000;bootm 80200000
bootargs=console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mtdblock4 rw rootfstyp=jffs2 nohz=off
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial

=== Printing a single environment variable ===
# fw_printenv stdin
stdin=serial

=== Setting and verifying an environment variable ===
WARNING! If the ''fw_env.config'' does not point to U-Boot's env section in Flash, running ''fw_setenv'' could corrupt your Flash. Make sure that ''fw_printenv'' works properly and does not return a message about "bad CRC" before running ''fw_setenv''.

# fw_setenv mytestvariable abcdefg
# fw_printenv mytestvariable
mytestenv=abcdefg

Care must be taken when changing env variables as a typo could easily render your system unbootable. Most problems can be fixed by connecting to the serial console and using U-Boot's command line to fix bad variable.

Small Business Conference

2009-08-09T21:15:44Z

Markv: Added Team Embedded to participants

Small businesses play a significant roll in the embedded Linux ecosystem. This page tracks information about upcoming events for small business people involved with embedded Linux. These events should be of interest to consultants, small engineering companies, and small vendors using Linux in their products.

== Mailing List ==
* [http://tree.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/small-business small-business@tree.celinuxforum.org] [[http://tree.celinuxforum.org/pipermail/small-business/ archives]]

== Events ==
=== [http://events.linuxfoundation.org/component/registrationpro/?func=details&did=1 LinuxCon] & [http://events.linuxfoundation.org/component/registrationpro/?func=details&did=7 Plumbers] 2009 ===
Is anyone interested in a BoF at LinuxCon 2009?

=== [http://www.embeddedlinuxconference.com/elc_europe09/ ELCE 2009] ===

A "Small Business" BOF was proposed at ELCE 2009 (waiting for final approval).

Conferences like ELC and ELCE are excellent opportunities for small embedded Linux companies to meet, exchange experience and know each other better. This makes it possible to cooperate on customer projects which are too big for a single company, and to take advantage of the specific skills of each partner.

We invite small business owners and employees to join this BOF. Here are suggested topics:

* Introducing one's company and main areas of expertise (2 slides max per company, to be sent to michael@free-electrons.com before the BOF)
* Working with clients (preparing quotes, estimating, invoicing, etc)
* Marketing, advertising, and building the business.
* Project management
* Relationship with the community, and with similar service providers
* Relationship with vendors
* Interest in an "Embedded Linux small business miniconf" at ELC 2010?

Your suggestions are welcome. Don't hesitate to add them to the above list.

=== ELC 2010 ===
There is some talk about organizing a small business track or miniconf as part of ELC 2010.

ELinuxWiki:History

2009-04-11T01:40:36Z

Markv: /* Contests */

Here is some historical information about the eLinux wiki:

Tim Riker created the first elinux.org web site, which focused on hosting information about
embedded Linux development on specific boards and products. Mostly, the site held information
useful for people placing (or customizing) embedded Linux on existing hardware products.

The current form of the eLinux wiki was created in 2006, sponsored by the [[CE Linux Forum]] in collaboration with Tim Riker.
Tim donated the domain name, and the software was changed from MoinMoin to MediaWiki.

It was initially hosted by [[Movial]], then moved to a virtual server hosted by GoDaddy,
in February of 2008.

Initial general technology content was converted from material from CELF's public developer wiki.

== Contests ==
In November of 2008, CELF sponsored it's first "editor contest". See [[ELCE2008 Editor Contest]]

The second "editor contest" is currently open. See [[ELC2009_Editor_Contest]]

Essential Linux Device Drivers

2009-04-11T01:24:05Z

Markv:

== Essential Linux Device Drivers ==

''' Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran, Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development Series, ISBN-10: 0132396556
ISBN-13: 9780132396554, 744 pages '''

This book does a very decent attempt at describing everything you need to know about Linux driver development.

From the Amazon website:
* Addresses drivers discussed in no other book, including drivers for I2C, video, sound, PCMCIA, and different types of flash memory
* Demystifies essential kernel services and facilities, including kernel threads and helper interfaces
* Teaches polling, asynchronous notification, and I/O control
* Introduces the Inter-Integrated Circuit Protocol for embedded Linux drivers
* Covers multimedia device drivers using the Linux-Video subsystem and Linux-Audio framework
* Shows how Linux implements support for wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Infrared, WiFi, and cellular networking
* Describes the entire driver development lifecycle, through debugging and maintenance
* Includes reference appendixes covering Linux assembly, BIOS calls, and Seq files

==== User comments ====
Comment from Alan Cox “Probably the most wide ranging and complete Linux device driver book I’ve read.”.

Comment from [[Kaa-ching]]: I really liked the book. It is up-to-date (at least early 2008 it was :-) ) and comprehensive.

Comment from [[ThomasPetazzoni]] : This book is a nice addition to the traditional Linux Device Drivers. Not only because it is more up-to-date, but also because it covers a wider range of drivers. However, reading Linux Device Drivers first is probably recommended. In the end, I think both books are very complementary.
