In EBC_Exercise_08_Installing_Development_Tools#DAS_U-boot you learned how to download, compile and run U-boot, here we'll configure it.
Compiling U-boot
You can now compile U-boot.
host$ source ~/.oe/crossCompileEnv.sh host$ make host$ scp u-boot.bin root@beagle:.
On the beagle, first be sure the FAT partition is mounted
beagle$ cd /media/ beagle$ mkdir mmcblk0p1 beagle$ mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 mmcblk0p1/ beagle$ cd mmcblk0p1/ beagle$ ls -ls total 354 2 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 May 16 15:29 Docs 2 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 2048 May 16 15:29 Drivers 6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5829 Aug 14 10:10 LICENSE.txt 84 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 85058 Aug 14 08:19 MLO 14 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13976 Aug 14 10:10 README.htm 2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27 Aug 14 10:23 Uenv.txt 2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 178 Aug 14 10:10 autorun.inf 2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 171 Aug 14 10:10 info.txt 238 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 241948 Aug 14 08:19 u-boot.img 2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Aug 14 10:23 uEnv.txt.orig
Make a backup of the original u-boot.
beagle$ cp u-boot.bin u-boot.bin.orig beagle$ cp ~/u-boot.bin . beagle$ shutdown -r now
You should now be running the new u-boot.
Assignment
- Modify u-boot to include your initials in the prompt. (Hint: Look for the omap3_beagle.h file for the xM or am335x_evm.h for the bone.)
- Learn what is done when the boot command is entered in u-boot.
- Find where the code for boot is defined in the u-boot source.
Hint:
u-boot# help boot boot - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' Usage: boot u-boot# print bootcmd bootcmd=if mmc rescan ${mmcdev}; then if userbutton; then setenv bootenv user.txt;fi;echo SD/MMC found on device ${mmcdev};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 loaduimage; then run mmcboot;fi;fi;run nandboot;
