Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder
Up to this point we've always booted the Beagle into Linux and worked from there. Now it's time to learn what has to happen before we can run Linux. To do this you need to look at the output of the serial port so see the boot sequence.
Booting Up
Boot up your bone and connect to the serial port using the screen command. Hit return and log in.
host$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 .---O---. | | .-. o o | | |-----.-----.-----.| | .----..-----.-----. | | | __ | ---'| '--.| .-'| | | | | | | | |--- || --'| | | ' | | | | '---'---'--'--'--. |-----------' '-----'-'-'-' -' | '---' The Angstrom Distribution beaglebone ttyO0 Angstrom v2012.05 - Kernel 3.2.25 beaglebone login: root root@beaglebone:~#
Now shutdown and be ready to hit return when you get the u-boot prompt.
beagle$ shutdown -r now Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes... Sending SIGKILL to remaining processes... Unmounting file systems. Unmounted /dev/mqueue. Unmounted /sys/kernel/debug. Disabling swaps. Detaching loop devices. Detaching DM devices. [ 599.018005] Restarting system.
These first messages are from the kernel shutting down. The following messages are the boot sequence.

You are now in the u-boot boot loader. Try help

Your goal is to discover what happens when the boot command is run.
U-Boot# help boot boot - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' U-boot# print bootcmd bootcmd=if mmc rescan; then echo SD/MMC found on device ${mmc_dev}; if run loadbootenv; then echo Loaded environment from ${bootenv};run importbootenv;fi; if test -n $uenvcmd; then echo Running uenvcmd ...;run uenvcmd;fi; if run mmc_load_uimage_ext4; then run mmc_args;bootm ${kloadaddr};fi;fi;run nand_boot;
Figure out what's happening above by 'pretty printing' bootcmd. That is, properly format the code so you can follow the flow.
if mmc rescan; then echo SD/MMC found on device ${mmc_dev}; Find out what mmc_dev is and fill it in if run loadbootenv; then echo Loaded environment from ${bootenv}; run importbootenv; fi; ... and so on.
It might be helpful to print the contents of all the variables and save it for future reference.
