 Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2017 6:26 pm Post subject: printing to screen from arm kernel |
 |
|
Greetings,
I have a image that I try to boot via uboot, I verified that the uboot does everything it should and it does, the issue is that the kernel does boot.
I want to test the asm part of the kernel, see if it even gets to there, how can I print in asm on arm64 a char to screen?
thanks.

Does it boot or not?
What do you mean with "asm": assembler?
Whats the hardware you have. I have u-boot on a cubietruck with sd and i had to reconfigure the boot.scr to show up the kernel messages on the standard vga/hdmi console.
greets, bb

the board is an odroidc2, I compile the code locally on my desktop and then deploy it on the board.
it doesn't boots, here is the output I see:

I use uboot-2017.07, the partition layout is a fat boot partition followed by a ext4 root partition. the output is via serial as at that stage of the boot, there is no console.
when I debugged the issue on uboot, I traced the call to armv8_switch_to_el2 which looks like it is trying to boot the kernel.
I want to see if the issue is with uboot or the kernel.

Hi,
you should try to create a new boot.scr of a boot.cmd. I use this for my cubietruck with u-boot to show up the kernel messages via ttyS0 and vga console. You should try to modify this for your needs:
| Code: |
ext2load mmc 0 0x46000000 uImage
ext2load mmc 0 0x49000000 sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dtb
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 earlyprintk root=/dev/sda2 rootwait panic=10 ${extra}
setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=vga,edid=1
bootm 0x46000000 - 0x49000000
|
I boot of a harddrive after kernel load. You can create a new boot.scr out of this boot.cmd via the following command:
| Code: |
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr
|
Your current bott.scr can help you get the needed stuff for your boot.cmd if you dont have one:
| Code: |
$ cat /boot/boot.scr
'V֍ِY��-
ext2load mmc 0 0x46000000 uImage
ext2load mmc 0 0x49000000 sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dtb
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 earlyprintk root=/dev/sda2 rootwait panic=10 ${extra}
setenv video-mode sunxi:1024x768-24@60,monitor=vga,edid=1
bootm 0x46000000 - 0x49000000
$

I hope this helps debugging a bit

Greetings,
I've tried what you are suggesting, here is my bood.cmd:
| Code: | setenv loadaddr "0x20000000"
setenv dtb_loadaddr "0x01000000"
setenv initrd_high "0xffffffff"
setenv fdt_high "0xffffffff"
setenv kernel_filename Image
setenv fdt_filename meson64_odroidc2.dtb
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 earlyprintk root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait panic=10 ${extra}
fatload mmc 0 ${loadaddr} ${kernel_filename}
fatload mmc 0 ${dtb_loadaddr} ${fdt_filename}
bootm ${loadaddr} - ${dtb_loadaddr} |
I end up with this output:
| Code: | reading Image
13489152 bytes read in 580 ms (22.2 MiB/s)
reading meson64_odroidc2.dtb
29835 bytes read in 3 ms (9.5 MiB/s)
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image! |
note that I'm using an image and not uImage .
running booti ${loadaddr} - ${dtb_loadaddr}
leaves me with the same output as mentioned in the first post.
one thing I've noticed, the ouput of base is "Base Address: 0x00000000"
is it logical?
Thanks.
Dagg.

Hi,
I havent done it this far like you did. Do you have an older running kernel (maybe from a different distro)?. I got my kernel config and all the information I needed for a booting 4.x kernel for my cubietruck from a guy who got it already booting.
If you have a booting kernel from a different distro, you should check the loader address and the entry point address of the kernel. You can get it via file:
| Code: |
$ file /boot/uImage
/boot/uImage: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux 4.13.7, Linux/ARM, OS Kernel Image (Not compressed), 5405352 bytes, Fri Oct 20 07:56:18 2017, Load Address: 0x40008000, Entry Point: 0x40008000, Header CRC: 0xE1031E61, Data CRC: 0xBA5B9A6D
$
|
Im not sure if you can directly boot an Image file or if you need to convert to uImage. But imo it sounds like uImage is an u-boot enabled image

Hi,
i downloaded this image and decompressed/checked it for the kernel: https://dl.armbian.com/odroidc2/archive/Armbian_5.33.171007_Odroidc2_Debian_stretch_next_4.13.5.7z
This image includes a uImage as well. So it looks like, you need an uImage as well for booting.
greets, bb

ok, tried uImage, didn't worked, see some outputs:

dagg@NCC-5001-D ~/workspace/buildroots/buildroot-odroidc2-uboot-upstream $ cat board/hardkernel/odroidc2/boot.cmd

setenv fdt_filename meson64_odroidc2.dtb
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 earlyprintk root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait panic=10 ${extra}
fatload mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} ${kernel_filename}
fatload mmc 0:1 ${dtb_loadaddr} ${fdt_filename}
bootm ${loadaddr} - ${dtb_loadaddr}

did I got it wrong?

I've tested the image you've suggested, it uses kernel 4.13.x with u-boot 2015.01 (vendor's version) while I'm trying to run kernel 3.14 (vendor's version) with latest uboot.

got an idea, I'll try setup a netboot and see if it boots, I know the maintainer of the relevant code in uboot works with netboot.
will update when I have more info

Hi,
have a look here: http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1728
it looks like, you need to add the dtb file for booting as well.

actually, late last night I did that too, same behavior.
I suspect that latest uboot and kernel 3.14.x aren't compatible... is this possible?

Hi,
i dont know whether there is a compatibilty issue with kernel and u-boot versions. Can you try a more recent kernel. Maybe if you extract one from the arch or ubuntu archives.
if this board wouldnt be this expensive, i would directly buy one to test out by myself 
greets, bb

there is support for the board from kernel 4.10 and one if I'm not mistaken but it is partial at best.
for example, there is no real support for the gpu.

Yeah, that like on the cubietruck. It just depends on what you are using the system for. I used my cubietruck as print/scanserver in the past, so no graphic needed. But for testing it should be good. You could even try to compile an older version of u-boot, which can do tftp and can handle older kernels
