Boot options
------------
The Aspeed machines can be started using the ``-kernel`` and ``-dtb`` options
to load a Linux kernel or from a firmware. Images can be downloaded from the
OpenBMC jenkins :
https://jenkins.openbmc.org/job/ci-openbmc/lastSuccessfulBuild/
or directly from the OpenBMC GitHub release repository :
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/releases
or directly from the ASPEED Forked OpenBMC GitHub release repository :
https://github.com/AspeedTech-BMC/openbmc/releases
Booting from a kernel image
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To boot a kernel directly from a Linux build tree:
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-arm -M ast2600-evb -nographic \
-kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage \
-dtb arch/arm/boot/dts/aspeed-ast2600-evb.dtb \
-initrd rootfs.cpio
Booting from a flash image
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The machine options specific to Aspeed to boot from a flash image are :
* ``execute-in-place`` which emulates the boot from the CE0 flash
device by using the FMC controller to load the instructions, and
not simply from RAM. This takes a little longer.
* ``fmc-model`` to change the default FMC Flash model. FW needs
support for the chip model to boot.
* ``spi-model`` to change the default SPI Flash model.
To boot the machine from the flash image, use an MTD drive :
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-arm -M romulus-bmc -nic user \
-drive file=obmc-phosphor-image-romulus.static.mtd,format=raw,if=mtd -nographic
To use other flash models, for instance a different FMC chip and a
bigger (64M) SPI for the ``ast2500-evb`` machine, run :
.. code-block:: bash
-M ast2500-evb,fmc-model=mx25l25635e,spi-model=mx66u51235f
When more flexibility is needed to define the flash devices, to use
different flash models or define all flash devices (up to 8), the
``-nodefaults`` QEMU option can be used to avoid creating the default
flash devices.
Flash devices should then be created from the command line and attached
to a block device :
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-arm -M ast2600-evb \
-blockdev node-name=fmc0,driver=file,filename=/path/to/fmc0.img \
-device mx66u51235f,bus=ssi.0,cs=0x0,drive=fmc0 \
-blockdev node-name=fmc1,driver=file,filename=/path/to/fmc1.img \
-device mx66u51235f,bus=ssi.0,cs=0x1,drive=fmc1 \
-blockdev node-name=spi1,driver=file,filename=/path/to/spi1.img \
-device mx66u51235f,cs=0x0,bus=ssi.1,drive=spi1 \
-nographic -nodefaults
In that case, the machine boots fetching instructions from the FMC0
device. It is slower to start but closer to what HW does. Using the
machine option ``execute-in-place`` has a similar effect.
Booting from an eMMC image
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The machine options specific to Aspeed machines to boot from an eMMC
image are :
* ``boot-emmc`` to set or unset boot from eMMC (AST2600).
Only the ``ast2600-evb`` and ``rainier-emmc`` machines have support to
boot from an eMMC device. In this case, the machine assumes that the
eMMC image includes special boot partitions. Such an image can be
built this way :
.. code-block:: bash
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=mmc-bootarea.img count=2 bs=1M
$ dd if=u-boot-spl.bin of=mmc-bootarea.img conv=notrunc
$ dd if=u-boot.bin of=mmc-bootarea.img conv=notrunc count=64 bs=1K
$ cat mmc-bootarea.img obmc-phosphor-image.wic > mmc.img
$ truncate --size 16GB mmc.img
Boot the machine ``rainier-emmc`` with :
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-arm -M rainier-bmc \
-drive file=mmc.img,format=raw,if=sd,index=2 \
-nographic
The ``boot-emmc`` option can be set or unset, to change the default
boot mode of machine: SPI or eMMC. This can be useful to boot the
``ast2600-evb`` machine from an eMMC device (default being SPI) or to
boot the ``rainier-bmc`` machine from a flash device (default being
eMMC).
As an example, here is how to to boot the ``rainier-bmc`` machine from
the flash device with ``boot-emmc=false`` and let the machine use an
eMMC image :
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-arm -M rainier-bmc,boot-emmc=false \
-drive file=flash.img,format=raw,if=mtd \
-drive file=mmc.img,format=raw,if=sd,index=2 \
-nographic
It should be noted that in this case the eMMC device must not have
boot partitions, otherwise the contents will not be accessible to the
machine. This limitation is due to the use of the ``-drive``
interface.
Ideally, one should be able to define the eMMC device and the
associated backend directly on the command line, such as :
.. code-block:: bash
-blockdev node-name=emmc0,driver=file,filename=mmc.img \
-device emmc,bus=sdhci-bus.2,drive=emmc0,boot-partition-size=1048576,boot-config=8
This is not yet supported (as of QEMU-10.0). Work is needed to
refactor the sdhci bus model.
Other booting options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Other machine options specific to Aspeed machines are :
* ``bmc-console`` to change the default console device. Most of the
machines use the ``UART5`` device for a boot console, which is
mapped on ``/dev/ttyS4`` under Linux, but it is not always the
case.
To change the boot console and use device ``UART3`` (``/dev/ttyS2``
under Linux), use :
.. code-block:: bash
-M ast2500-evb,bmc-console=uart3

etc.

Booting the ast2700-evb machine
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Boot the AST2700 machine from the flash image.
There are two supported methods for booting the AST2700 machine with a flash image:
Manual boot using ``-device loader``:
It causes all 4 CPU cores to start execution from address ``0x430000000``, which
corresponds to the BL31 image load address.
.. code-block:: bash
IMGDIR=ast2700-default
UBOOT_SIZE=$(stat --format=%s -L ${IMGDIR}/u-boot-nodtb.bin)
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M ast2700-evb \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=0x400000000,file=${IMGDIR}/u-boot-nodtb.bin \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=$((0x400000000 + ${UBOOT_SIZE})),file=${IMGDIR}/u-boot.dtb \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=0x430000000,file=${IMGDIR}/bl31.bin \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=0x430080000,file=${IMGDIR}/optee/tee-raw.bin \
-device loader,cpu-num=0,addr=0x430000000 \
-device loader,cpu-num=1,addr=0x430000000 \
-device loader,cpu-num=2,addr=0x430000000 \
-device loader,cpu-num=3,addr=0x430000000 \
-smp 4 \
-drive file=${IMGDIR}/image-bmc,format=raw,if=mtd \
-nographic
Boot using a virtual boot ROM (``-bios``):
If users do not specify the ``-bios option``, QEMU will attempt to load the
default vbootrom image ``ast27x0_bootrom.bin`` from either the current working
directory or the ``pc-bios`` directory within the QEMU source tree.
.. code-block:: bash
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M ast2700-evb \
-drive file=image-bmc,format=raw,if=mtd \
-nographic
The ``-bios`` option allows users to specify a custom path for the vbootrom
image to be loaded during boot. This will load the vbootrom image from the
specified path in the ${HOME} directory.
.. code-block:: bash
-bios ${HOME}/ast27x0_bootrom.bin
Booting the ast2700fc machine
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AST2700 features four Cortex-A35 primary processors and two Cortex-M4 coprocessors.
**ast2700-evb** machine focuses on emulating the four Cortex-A35 primary processors,
**ast2700fc** machine extends **ast2700-evb** by adding support for the two Cortex-M4 coprocessors.
Steps to boot the AST2700fc machine:
1. Ensure you have the following AST2700A1 binaries available in a directory
* u-boot-nodtb.bin
* u-boot.dtb
* bl31.bin
* optee/tee-raw.bin
* image-bmc
* zephyr-aspeed-ssp.elf (for SSP firmware, CPU 5)
* zephyr-aspeed-tsp.elf (for TSP firmware, CPU 6)
2. Execute the following command to start ``ast2700fc`` machine:
.. code-block:: bash
IMGDIR=ast2700-default
UBOOT_SIZE=$(stat --format=%s -L ${IMGDIR}/u-boot-nodtb.bin)
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -M ast2700fc \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=0x400000000,file=${IMGDIR}/u-boot-nodtb.bin \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=$((0x400000000 + ${UBOOT_SIZE})),file=${IMGDIR}/u-boot.dtb \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=0x430000000,file=${IMGDIR}/bl31.bin \
-device loader,force-raw=on,addr=0x430080000,file=${IMGDIR}/optee/tee-raw.bin \
-device loader,cpu-num=0,addr=0x430000000 \
-device loader,cpu-num=1,addr=0x430000000 \
-device loader,cpu-num=2,addr=0x430000000 \
-device loader,cpu-num=3,addr=0x430000000 \
-drive file=${IMGDIR}/image-bmc,if=mtd,format=raw \
-device loader,file=${IMGDIR}/zephyr-aspeed-ssp.elf,cpu-num=4 \
-device loader,file=${IMGDIR}/zephyr-aspeed-tsp.elf,cpu-num=5 \
-serial pty -serial pty -serial pty \
-snapshot \
-S -nographic
After launching QEMU, serial devices will be automatically redirected.
Example output:
.. code-block:: bash
char device redirected to /dev/pts/55 (label serial0)
char device redirected to /dev/pts/56 (label serial1)
char device redirected to /dev/pts/57 (label serial2)
- serial0: Console for the four Cortex-A35 primary processors.
- serial1 and serial2: Consoles for the two Cortex-M4 coprocessors.
Use ``tio`` or another terminal emulator to connect to the consoles:
.. code-block:: bash
$ tio /dev/pts/55
$ tio /dev/pts/56
$ tio /dev/pts/57
