But it is a solid step forward: with this series, link boots
U boot x86 series#
Unfortunately this series is quite long as it includes basic infrastructure These will be addressed in a follow-up series. ifttool for creating ROMs of the required format (u-boot.rom) Use of Intel Management Engine via another binary blob SDRAM init using a binary blob (Memory Reference Code) ivybridge support with some peripherals enabled The following are implemented in this series: Supported in U-Boot and the platform is well understood. While that remains a goal, for now the port targets link. Would be targeted at some generally available board, such as the Minnowmax,Įxcept that it doesn't seem to be generally available, at least for me. This series contains a basic port of U-Boot to a bare x86 environment. This is because U-Boot was conceived before the more modern SoCs with SRAM,
Splits this into three programs which run one after the other).

Then starting up the full U-Boot, all within the same image (Coreboot Running before relocation with no DRAM, using global_data, relocating and Magic about getting the platform running. U-Boot supports, it actually fits the model fairly well. That while x86 is somewhat different to most of the other architectures that Particularly with the binary blobs that are required.Īfter some experimentation prompted by a discussion at ELCE, it was found WhenĬoreboot decides not set to up the video card, it is not possible for U-Bootīuilding an image which has both boot loaders in itis a little tricky, There are also a few disadvantages to using two separate boot loaders. In any case this work has not been done so the However this does not remove the need for all x86-specific init in U-Boot.įor each generation of chipset we need to adjust U-Boot to make it work,Īlbeit sometimes not a lot. This Coreboot + U-Boot method is used for link (Chromebook Pixel) and it X86 where the kernel can call back into the 'BIOS' to perform certain tasks. Notably U-Boot does not handle the ACPI fun on Up the CPU and then setting up SDRAM and video among other tasks. ` (38 more replies) 0 siblings, 39 replies 95+ messages in threadĪt present U-Boot's x86 support requires Coreboot to run first, starting 20:19 ` Move early malloc() to before arch_cpu_init() Simon Glass More testing showed that setting upstream switch port ( not the same port, facing u-boot with the board in question) to 10 Mbit/s half-duplex solves transmission issue, however this significantly reduces the bandwidth available.X86: Add support for running on bare hardware All of help / color / mirror / Atom feed * x86: Add support for running on bare hardware 20:19 Simon Glass This is exactly what's observed with downloading from Windows host. Tests also show that setting #define TIMEOUT 8000UL at compile time or tftptimeout 1000 at run time allow for enough time for tftp server to retransmit lost packet allowing transmission to proceed. Successful transfers from Windows host are manifested by the fact that chosen tftp implementation has timeouts less than those of u-boot and as a consequence resending packets again, which happen to be captured by u-boot within its time limits. High pps of upstream Cisco switch might contribute to this because of rapid packet processing.
U boot x86 driver#
mem settings sent a message to U-Boot mailing list, but got no reply made static arp for U-Boot MAC.Īs further experiments showed, the problem in this particular case was because of u-boot losing incoming packets coincidentally with - NetLoop timeout handler set and - NetLoop timeout, which I suppose is caused by either mac driver implementation in u-boot or u-boot networking handling itself. What I have tried already: tftpd / tftpd-hpa tftpblocksize=512 x86_64 linux kernel (tftp server) changing switch port settings to not aneg, but explicit full-duplex as well as half- adding/removing switches in-between changing MTU at the serving machine building latest U-Boot from source varying server IP-address within /24 changing sysctl net. I have read this article:, however what is described there is not related to my situation since results do not depend on switches in-between. It certainly has something to do with U-Boot network stack, but I believe this is the right place to ask this question.

TFTP from server 192.168.100.86 our IP address is 192.168.100.88Īt this point I have no idea, what could cause timeouts for u-boot and I have no moreĬlues on how to solve this. #T #Ĭorresponding traffic dump can be found here: Gave no significant difference between serving machines, which run Linux. When the board in question has booted kernel. However any other combination not involving U-Boot is flawless. It fails with timeouts (most of the tries timeout limit exceeds and very rarely it gets through) on several, but
