SolidRun HoneyComb LX2K with uboot [SOLVED]

Message

Progman3K · Post by **Progman3K** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 11:36 pm

Hi,

I'm installing onto the aforementioned LX2K system.

The system has its standard hardware, and I have added an additional NVMe hard-disk.

I first booted with a Ubuntu image on an sdcard, following the recommended procedure in the HoneyComb LX2 / ClearFog CX LX2 Quick Start Guide.

Following the Gentoo Handbook, I've been able to perform all the required steps for a systemd install, including building a gentoo-sources kernel.

But I'm hesitating at the bootloader-installation step.

What is the best procedure here?

The onboard eMMc is not replaceable, so if possible, I'd like to use it as little as possible.

It is unclear for me what is your question is about. So can you be more specific?

What is the "procedure" you are looking for?

Hi pingtoo,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I'm trying to figure out how to boot the install, now that it's complete, but I'm also not sure how to set the bootloader.

Practically speaking, I can't get grub to install properly. I mean the package is merged, but the actual installation onto the boot-partition fails:

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1
Installing for arm64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 --efi-directory=/boot
Installing for arm64-efi platform.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.

I'm not even certain grub can be used...

Also, even if it did install, the LX2 doesn't seem to have the possibility of booting from the nvme; there are dip-switches I can set to have the computer boot from either the sdcard, the eMMC or the SPI.

I originally tried booting the computer from its sdcard with an sdcard I set up with the gentoo arm64 minimal-install .iso, but it didn't boot at all. The procedure I applied in that case was first creating the bootable image on the sdcard by using a different workstation, like this:

dd if=install-arm64-minimal-20230910T213208Z.iso of=/dev/sda bs=1M

But as mentioned above, the LX2 didn't appear to see the sdcard (it would not use it at boot) when it was inserted.

So I ended up reformatting the sdcard with an image I obtained from the manufacturer, like this:

xz -dc lx2160acex7_2000_700_2400_8_5_2-2aefef2.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sda bs=4k conv=fdatasync

This did yield a bootable sdcard, which I then used to perform the Gentoo handbook install.

I hope this clears up what I'm trying to accomplish, which is a bootable Gentoo installation, but as I wrote above, I'm sort of stuck

Thanks for reading all this

Progman3K,

As its arm64, grub is all there is. I've tried other things, they mostly don't build.

Code: Select all

EFI variables are not supported on this system.

means the that efivarfs is not mounted on sys/firmware/efi/efivars
or the kernel module that exposes efivarfs is not loaded.

I have CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=y in my arm64 server kernel.

I had to add the following to /etc/default/grub too.

Code: Select all

# fix boot error    error: file /boot/grub/locale/C.gmo not found
LANG=C

Its installed but

Code: Select all

grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory

as efivarfs is not mounted, grub could not call efibootmgr to update the efi variables, so the EFI firmware cannot find /boot/EFI/gentoo/grubaa64.efi because it does not know where too look.

So close ...

... maybe its not an EFI system?

Does your bootable image have as EFI system partition?
Partitioning tools will show it as ESP and it will have a vfat filesystem.

Progman3K,

Thanks for clarification.

So, this is my understand of your question, You want to be able to load a second stage boot loader (grub) in order to load gentoo system.

First declaration, I am no grub expert, so I my answer my not be correct.

I am not sure how you get your grub into a state that it will want to install arm64-efi. A efi based boot system should not be needed. I think a normal arm64 based grub should do. EFI usually are for X86 platform. (note. I don't mean it is exclusive for X86, just that most ARM platform don't need to do it this way)

Because most embedded system in the first stage boot (bootrom) load second stage boot loader (u-boot mostly), which is responsible to initialise RAM.

I think in your case when you boot from SD card load with install-arm64-minimal-20230910T213208Z.iso, the iso image does not contain the correct second stage boot loader therefor it appear not working.

if you examine the "lx2160acex7_2000_700_2400_8_5_2-2aefef2.img.xz" I think you will found that is a multiple partitioned image that contain a boot loader partition (i.e. u-boot) and possible partition for kernel and rootfs.

I world recommend continue use the "lx2160acex7_2000_700_2400_8_5_2-2aefef2.img.xz" first to get you self into u-boot prompt and from there examine the u-boot environment so you can alter it to choose kernel and rootfs (choose rootfs, is act of setting up correct kernel command options)

Once you have the u-boot setting recorded, we can review how to reprogram the u-boot environment to load either kernel or grub if you wish.

Neddy,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

The kernel I've configured for an eventual boot does have CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=y set, but the Ubuntu boot-media I'm using to start the system does not. It's not clear if UEFI is actually supported on the platform; some of the solid-run forum posts seem to be saying it is, yet the recommended boot-media doesn't have it enabled. There's probably a good reason for this, but I'm not cognizant of it.

It's encouraging that grub is the correct boot-manager to pick for arm64.

# fix boot error error: file /boot/grub/locale/C.gmo not found
LANG=C

Noted. Thank you

Does your bootable image have as EFI system partition?
Partitioning tools will show it as ESP and it will have a vfat filesystem.

The boot-media sdcard is formatted like this:

fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 3.68 GiB, 3951034368 bytes, 7716864 sectors
Disk model: Mass-Storage
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xe96484be

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 131072 7716863 7585792 3.6G 83 Linux

It's apparently formatted ext4, its content is

ls -ls /run/media/user/9aaccce4-6353-4da1-a15a-d433deef543a
total 424504
16 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Sep 3 06:13 lost+found
424356 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 434110464 Sep 3 06:13 ubuntu-core.img
132 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131072 Sep 3 06:13 xspi_header.img

The initial set-up procedure for the system
https://solidrun.atlassian.net/wiki/spa ... tart+Guide
had instructions for flashing the eMMC from the uboot command line:

load mmc 0:1 0xa4000000 ubuntu-core.img
mmc dev 1
mmc write 0xa4000000 0 0xd2000

At this point, if I change the board's dip-switches to boot from the eMMC, I can probably stop using the sdcard, but I'd like to understand how to modify the boot-parameters first.
Note the inclusion of a file called xspi_header.img on the default boot-disk. Intriguing... The startup procedure doesn't mention it.

pingtoo,

Thank you for the help.

I think in your case when you boot from SD card load with install-arm64-minimal-20230910T213208Z.iso, the iso image does not contain the correct second stage boot loader therefor it appear not working.
if you examine the "lx2160acex7_2000_700_2400_8_5_2-2aefef2.img.xz" I think you will found that is a multiple partitioned image that contain a boot loader partition (i.e. u-boot) and possible partition for kernel and rootfs.

As you can see from what I quoted just above this, the boot-disk produced by extracting the .img file appears to be a single-partition ext4-formatted disk, although I did notice that its first 64MB appear to be inaccessible. Possibly this area contains the uboot program and its data?

I would recommend continue use the "lx2160acex7_2000_700_2400_8_5_2-2aefef2.img.xz" first to get you self into u-boot prompt and from there examine the u-boot environment so you can alter it to choose kernel and rootfs (choose rootfs, is act of setting up correct kernel command options)
Once you have the u-boot setting recorded, we can review how to reprogram the u-boot environment to load either kernel or grub if you wish.

Booting the sdcard yields the following uboot output
https://pastebin.com/KVFUgcGR

If I let the boot proceed, or interrupt it and enter boot at the uboot command-line, it boots the ubuntu I used to perform the handbook installation on the nvme0n1 disk:
https://pastebin.com/5Fw8TPTj

Alternatively,
If I interrupt the boot countdown, I get access to the uboot command-prompt, typing help gives these options:
https://pastebin.com/vMXscJgR

I suspect there is some way to either modify uboot's configuration or manually select the kernel on nvme0n1p1, but I lack the knowledge of how to do so.
The solid-run documentation's startup procedure goes on to say

The default bootcmd probes every device and looks for a /extlinux/extlinux.conf
The kernel command line uses the PARTUUID to boot the right drive can editing the root in the extlinux.conf to use directly root=/dev/nvme0n1p1 or root=/dev/sdx .

I suspect this is the key, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

Post by **NeddySeagoon** » Wed Sep 20, 2023 3:55 pm

Progman3K,

Code: Select all

Disklabel type: dos

That cannot be EFI. EFI mandates the use of GPT for the boot drive and requires that the ESP is formatted VFAT.
That probably means that the platform does not support EFI natively.
At least, EFI is not in use there.

My arm64 server is EFI only. That forces grub as the boot loader.

pingtoo · Post by **pingtoo** » Wed Sep 20, 2023 7:09 pm

Progman3K,

Now you have two options, One you can modify u-boot at runtime to choose your kernel/rootfs, Or you can modify u-boot configuration file extlinux.conf to have additional selection for different boot scenarios.

I was reading the start guild, however it did not describe how u-boot invoke in the setup so I will need to look at the build environment to understand how it was done.

In the start guild at the end it did mention support uefi, but I think it is just extra layout with much benefit. If you do choose to use UEFI please follow the start guild at bottom.

In the mean time I will try to understand how this system boot work. I suspect it is using SPI or eMMC to host the u-boot and just program u-boot base on hardware switch to select where to load the initial image.

If you don't mind please share "printenv" result from u-boot. This may help me quicker to understand how it work.

pingtoo · Post by **pingtoo** » Wed Sep 20, 2023 8:03 pm

After some research in the build system script lx2160a_build/runme.sh it appear you are correct that first 64MB of the image file is loaded with u-boot and other stuff. So my speculation of using SPI or eMMC for u-boot is wrong.

I think the board bootrom is coded looking at boot device (SD card, eMMC or SPI) in certain offset for second stage boot loader (in default case u-boot)

The good news is that the /extlinx/extlinux.conf should be in your SD card rootfs. So in the default it is the ubuntu's /extlinux/extlinux.conf and the default content is

Code: Select all

  timeout 30
  default linux
  menu title linux-lx2160a boot options
  label primary
    menu label primary kernel
    linux /boot/Image.gz
    fdtdir /boot/
    APPEND console=ttyAMA0,115200 earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x21c0000 default_hugepagesz=1024m hugepagesz=1024m hugepages=2 pci=pcie_bus_perf root=PARTUUID=30303030-01 rw rootwait

This is place where is you can place addition setting to give you boot selection.

The bad news is the "Image.gz" need to be in u-boot image format, Unless the u-boot was build with support for standard linux compress format, this part need to look into detail of the build environment in order to find out.

the u-boot is build with ARM-Trust-Firmware (atf), I don't know much of it, but I suspect it mean the kernel build need to be in certain format in order for the u-boot to willing to load it.

So if you plan to do more about upgrade kernel/initrd or you want to know how to setup second boot option let me know I can dig out the detail.

Here's the output, I've highlighted some parts of it.

The only thing is, where is the syslinux.cfg file?

The boot-media sdcard only has the one partition I can access, and it only contains the two .img files. What tool(s) do I need to access the 64MB partition at the beginning of the sdcard, is that where the syslinux.cfg file is?

Why "syslinux.cfg"? I did not mention this name and I don't find it in the output. It is extlinux.cfg

Good news is that it seems it is possible to boot from nvme. However I don't know much of boot off nvme so if you want to do that we will need to experiment with it.

From the output. What you have is distro boot, which mean you have pretty modern u-boot.

The extlinux.cfg file should be located in your rootfs. I mean if you boot into ubuntu, check /extlinux directory. there should be the file extlinux.cfg.

So what do you have in mind for proceeding? Run changes in u-boot to test? or create new entry in extlinux.cfg?

Progman3K · Post by **Progman3K** » Thu Sep 21, 2023 3:04 pm

Hmm... You're right that it must be using the file called extlinux.conf

This is from the rootfs of the sdcard:

cat /extlinux/extlinux.conf
timeout 30
default linux
menu title linux-lx2160a boot options

menu label primary kernel

Although in the documentation, the file is referred to as syslinux.cfg
https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.ph ... YSLINUX.3F

In either case, both files seem to contain the same directives, so maybe either name can be used?

I've copied over the directory and its contents to the nvme0n1p3 (the Gentoo rootfs) partition, and modified it like so

Not quite sure about the
linux vmlinuz-6.1.53-gentoo-r1
line, though. The syslinux documentation says it supports vmlinuz files now

Actually, I'm starting to think I might not have needed a boot partition at all; syslinux claims it can read partitions of types fat,ext2/3/4,btrfs

To test it, I'd need to know how to invoke it from the uboot prompt.

I'd like to check which version of syslinux it is we're dealing with, but it is not present on the boot-media.

Let's try obtaining it:

apt-get install syslinux
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package syslinux is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'syslinux' has no installation candidate

This seems to be the same issue preventing me from installing syslinux on (arm64) Gentoo, it does not appear to be supported on that arch. I know I can get it to be possible to install by unmasking it in the accept_keywords file by using the ** qualifier, but I'm not certain if it will build/install, and that if it does, will it work? I suppose there's no harm in trying.

!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "syslinux" has unmet requirements.
- sys-boot/syslinux-6.04_pre3-r1::gentoo USE="bios efi -secureboot"

The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
efi? ( any-of ( abi_x86_32 abi_x86_64 ) )

The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
any-of ( bios efi ) efi? ( any-of ( abi_x86_32 abi_x86_64 ) )

I'm pretty sure that the hardware can support EFI, although I'm not sure if enabling that use flag will lead down a dead-end as I suspect neither abi_x86_32 nor abi_x86_64 will function as expected.

Using the bios use-flag seems doomed too, because the nvme0n1 was partitioned using the GPT scheme, so using MBR won't work, will it?

Maybe I need to completely repartition and reformat nvme0n1 and try a different (BIOS/MBR) approach, which I have no qualms doing, since it's merely lost time and experience gained.

Progman3K,

This is not reload to syslinux project. Your board load "u-boot" as second stage boot loader.

u-boot implement The Boot Loader Specification for more detail from u-boot

Have you try to boot from your modified configuration file yet?

the u-boot support for boot from vmlunuz format is a build time option, so I am not sure if it is build for you board.

I suggest we start testing by using existing /boot/Image.gz with your nvme partition, This way we will know if the gentoo rootfs is working as expect. Once we have known good gentoo rootfs than making a gentoo specific kernel may be easier.

I am not sure how you got your "vmlinuz-6.1.53-gentoo-r1" but you should know kernel need to be build target to your board, Not any Gentoo kernel will work.

There is no file system for first 64MB of the image, so if you want to examine it you will need to use dd to extract content at certain location.

In turn of EFI, The concept is not specific to hardware. The "EFI" is defining how to implement boot loader. In your board case, the board build system use u-boot to implement second stage loader. And according to the start guild the u-boot seems to built with support for EFI as third stage boot loader.

I noticed that the kernel image file in the sdcard's /boot folder seems to be the same type of file

file /boot/Image.gz
/boot/Image.gz: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 48927232

as the file I can produce when compiling the gentoo-sources

file /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz
/mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 38904320

So I modified the /extlinux/extlinux.conf file on the sdcard like so:

timeout 30
default linux
menu title linux-lx2160a boot options
label primary
menu label primary kernel
linux /boot/Image.gz
fdtdir /boot/
APPEND console=ttyAMA0,115200 earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x21c0000 default_hugepagesz=1024m hugepagesz=1024m hugepages=2 pci=pcie_bus_perf root=PARTUUID=30303030-01 rw rootwait
label secondary
menu label secondary kernel
linux /boot/GImage.gz
fdtdir /boot/
APPEND console=ttyAMA0,115200 earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0x21c0000 default_hugepagesz=1024m hugepagesz=1024m hugepages=2 pci=pcie_bus_perf root=PARTUUID=73ea86b6-ffd6-9f48-8b52-c0de2bf47f90 rw rootwait

And I manually copied the gentoo-sources Image.gz file to the sdcard's /boot directory, naming it GImage.gz

Now, upon restarting the machine, I get a menu that was not appearing before:

When I press enter, the following happens:

At this point, the machine reboots and I must select the primary kernel if I want to run anything.

Progman3K,

You are pretty much there.

Now you just need to get a kernel that match your board. I am pretty sure the gentoo-sources in its default state will not work. You will need to find patches that specific for your board and apply them to the kernel source code in order to get it going.

That is why I suggest use the default kernel that come with the image, just change the the root=PARTUUID=XXXX, change the XXXX to the partition you desire, you should at least get Gentoo's openrc to startup.

pingtoo,

I'm pretty excited, yeah!
As you suggested, I added an extra kernel entry in the /extlinux/extlinux.conf file from the boot-media sdcard that was identical to the entry I'd already added, except it specified Image.gz instead of the Gentoo GImage.gz, and it boots the userspace quite handily!

I think they must have turned on both rc and systemd in the kernel options, because none of the boot-menu entries specify an init system, the default entry boots an rc init, and the entry I added boots a systemd init, and they both work.

Thank you very much for bringing so much light, it was incredibly helpful!

The remaining tasks are

- figuring out why the kernel hangs every other boot. Even with the default boot-media, sometimes it hangs right after displaying

As I mentioned, every other boot, it hangs there... No idea why... It's annoying.

- figuring out why the Gentoo kernel faults. It's likely caused because I missed a required kernel option when configuring. The reason I feel somewhat confident in affirming this is because solid-run's documentation seems to say that they support running standard distros, and mention Gentoo specifically. A little more digging is required.

Other than that it's quite nice.

The system I bought is actually two identical computers packed into rackmount drawers, as it's intended for failovers and other typical data-center applications.

I'll probably remove the other board and put it in a case so I can put a video card on it and run it as a normal desktop, if I can find a proper case that can host its backplane correctly.

Other than those, I'll mark this post as solved, and thank you and Neddy, again.
