| Slim Bootloader |
| =============== |
| |
| Introduction |
| ------------ |
| |
| This target is to enable U-Boot_ as a payload of `Slim Bootloader`_ (a.k.a SBL) |
| boot firmware which currently supports QEMU, Apollolake, Whiskeylake, |
| Coffeelake-R platforms. |
| |
| The `Slim Bootloader`_ is designed with multi-stages (Stage1A/B, Stage2, Payload) |
| architecture to cover from reset vector to OS booting and it consumes |
| `Intel FSP`_ for silicon initialization. |
| |
| * Stage1A: Reset vector, CAR init with FSP-T |
| * Stage1B: Memory init with FSP-M, CAR teardown, Continue execution in memory |
| * Stage2 : Rest of Silicon init with FSP-S, Create HOB, Hand-off to Payload |
| * Payload: Payload init with HOB, Load OS from media, Booting OS |
| |
| The Slim Bootloader stages (Stage1A/B, Stage2) focus on chipset, hardware and |
| platform specific initialization, and it provides useful information to a |
| payload in a HOB (Hand-Off Block) which has serial port, memory map, performance |
| data info and so on. This is Slim Bootloader architectural design to make a |
| payload light-weight, platform independent and more generic across different |
| boot solutions or payloads, and to minimize hardware re-initialization in a |
| payload. |
| |
| Build Instruction for U-Boot as a Slim Bootloader payload |
| --------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Build U-Boot and obtain u-boot-dtb.bin:: |
| |
| $ make distclean |
| $ make slimbootloader_defconfig |
| $ make all |
| |
| Prepare Slim Bootloader |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| 1. Setup Build Environment for Slim Bootloader. |
| |
| Refer to `Getting Started`_ page in `Slim Bootloader`_ document site. |
| |
| 2. Get source code. Let's simply clone the repo:: |
| |
| $ git clone https://github.com/slimbootloader/slimbootloader.git |
| |
| 3. Copy u-boot-dtb.bin to Slim Bootloader. |
| Slim Bootloader looks for a payload from the specific location. |
| Copy the build u-boot-dtb.bin to the expected location:: |
| |
| $ mkdir -p <Slim Bootloader Dir>/PayloadPkg/PayloadBins/ |
| $ cp <U-Boot Dir>/u-boot-dtb.bin <Slim Bootloader Dir>/PayloadPkg/PayloadBins/u-boot-dtb.bin |
| |
| Build Instruction for Slim Bootloader for QEMU target |
| ----------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Slim Bootloader supports multiple payloads, and a board of Slim Bootloader |
| detects its target payload by PayloadId in board configuration. |
| The PayloadId can be any 4 Bytes value. |
| |
| 1. Update PayloadId. Let's use 'U-BT' as an example:: |
| |
| $ vi Platform/QemuBoardPkg/CfgData/CfgDataExt_Brd1.dlt |
| -GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'AUTO' |
| +GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'U-BT' |
| |
| 2. Update payload text base. PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE must be the same as U-Boot |
| CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE in board/intel/slimbootloader/Kconfig. |
| PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH must be 0:: |
| |
| $ vi Platform/QemuBoardPkg/BoardConfig.py |
| + self.PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH = 0 |
| + self.PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE = 0x00100000 |
| |
| 3. Build QEMU target. Make sure u-boot-dtb.bin and U-BT PayloadId |
| in build command. The output is Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin:: |
| |
| $ python BuildLoader.py build qemu -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot-dtb.bin:U-BT:Lzma" |
| |
| 4. Launch Slim Bootloader on QEMU. |
| You should reach at U-Boot serial console:: |
| |
| $ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -pflash Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin |
| |
| Test Linux booting on QEMU target |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| Let's use LeafHill (APL) Yocto image for testing. |
| Download it from http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.0/machines/leafhill/. |
| |
| 1. Prepare Yocto hard disk image:: |
| |
| $ wget http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.0/machines/leafhill/leafhill-4.0-jethro-2.0.tar.bz2 |
| $ tar -xvf leafhill-4.0-jethro-2.0.tar.bz2 |
| $ ls -l leafhill-4.0-jethro-2.0/binary/core-image-sato-intel-corei7-64.hddimg |
| |
| 2. Launch Slim Bootloader on QEMU with disk image:: |
| |
| $ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -pflash Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin -drive id=mydrive,if=none,file=/path/to/core-image-sato-intel-corei7-64.hddimg,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=mydrive |
| |
| 3. Update boot environment values on shell:: |
| |
| => setenv bootfile vmlinuz |
| => setenv bootdev scsi |
| => boot |
| |
| Build Instruction for Slim Bootloader for LeafHill (APL) target |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Prepare U-Boot and Slim Bootloader as described at the beginning of this page. |
| Also, the PayloadId needs to be set for APL board. |
| |
| 1. Update PayloadId. Let's use 'U-BT' as an example:: |
| |
| $ vi Platform/ApollolakeBoardPkg/CfgData/CfgData_Int_LeafHill.dlt |
| -GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'AUTO |
| +GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'U-BT' |
| |
| 2. Update payload text base. |
| |
| * PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE must be the same as U-Boot CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE |
| in board/intel/slimbootloader/Kconfig. |
| * PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH must be 0:: |
| |
| $ vi Platform/ApollolakeBoardPkg/BoardConfig.py |
| + self.PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH = 0 |
| + self.PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE = 0x00100000 |
| |
| 3. Build APL target. Make sure u-boot-dtb.bin and U-BT PayloadId |
| in build command. The output is Outputs/apl/Stitch_Components.zip:: |
| |
| $ python BuildLoader.py build apl -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot-dtb.bin:U-BT:Lzma" |
| |
| 4. Stitch IFWI. |
| |
| Refer to Apollolake_ page in Slim Bootloader document site:: |
| |
| $ python Platform/ApollolakeBoardPkg/Script/StitchLoader.py -i <Existing IFWI> -s Outputs/apl/Stitch_Components.zip -o <Output IFWI> |
| |
| 5. Flash IFWI. |
| |
| Use DediProg to flash IFWI. You should reach at U-Boot serial console. |
| |
| |
| Build Instruction to use ELF U-Boot |
| ----------------------------------- |
| |
| 1. Enable CONFIG_OF_EMBED:: |
| |
| $ vi configs/slimbootloader_defconfig |
| +CONFIG_OF_EMBED=y |
| |
| 2. Build U-Boot:: |
| |
| $ make distclean |
| $ make slimbootloader_defconfig |
| $ make all |
| $ strip u-boot (removing symbol for reduced size) |
| |
| 3. Do same steps as above |
| |
| * Copy u-boot (ELF) to PayloadBins directory |
| * Update PayloadId 'U-BT' as above. |
| * No need to set PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH and PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE. |
| * Build Slim Bootloader. Use u-boot instead of u-boot-dtb.bin:: |
| |
| $ python BuildLoader.py build <qemu or apl> -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot:U-BT:Lzma" |
