Hi, I would like to create a small bootloader that is able to pass kernel arguments and boot a linux kernel. Im using a xilinx PPC, and have already booted a working kernel with a Xilinx provided XMD bootloader over USB. My main question is how does a bootloader pass these arguments to the kernel before booting it? Most specifically the root=/dev/xsa1 command so I can tell it to either boot from compact flash or NFS.
I really don't want to try and port U-boot since I don't need the bells and whistles and I want it to fit in the BRAM of the FPGA so it will load when I load the hardware configuration. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/small-bootloader-that-passes-arguments-tf4793411.html#a13712778 Sent from the linuxppc-embedded mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
