I've just built it with Ubuntu 18.04 / gcc 7.5.0 ; I have my

doesn't.

I think Simon is right. I could not rebuild that 2017.05 u-boot with
gcc 12 now. So I looked at the old log, and it was built with gcc 6.3.

  gcc -Wp,-MD,disk/.part_efi.o.d  -nostdinc -isystem
/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/6/include -Iinclude
-I./arch/arm/include -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -D__KERNEL__

/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/6.3.0 -> 6

Hope this helps.

All the best,

You might need to compile with an old toolchain, e.g. gcc 4?

Hello.

Can someone provide the right link to download u-boot-2017.0.5 , please ?

I've found it here,but I'm not sure that it's the correct version :

https://src.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/uboot-tools/u-boot-2017.05.tar.bz2/sha512/be270f9242a72b05463092a022bbabd54996762de1ff23bf7575124ac02e62f49572a4e2f6f571a5019047d40027e56e35593b5cc373c4a5a39b100c3377ba93/

Can you confirm it ? thanks.

Yes, it can boot a 32-bit ARM board. I'm not a FreeBSD person, but
I've helped a FreeBSD user booting a 32-bit ARM box with u-boot
(GoFlexHome Marvell Kirkwood 6281). The u-boot version was 2017.05. I
used an out-of-tree u-boot build. This u-boot executed the ubldr to
boot FreeBSD.

Please see here:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,49039,82059#msg-82059

It's been so long, I don't remember the details. Just to confirm what
Heinrich said that u-boot can indeed boot 32-bit FreeBSD, since many
years ago.

All the best,
Tony

Hello Mario,

U-Boot supports booting EFI binaries since 2016. I don't know if some arm32 
bits are still missing in FreeBSD (see https://wiki.freebsd.org/UEFI). But 
looking at 
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/plain/stand/efi/loader/Makefile.depend.arm and 
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/plain/stand/efi/loader/arch/arm/start.S arm32 
should be  supported. I guess the wiki needs an update.

The U-Boot documentation only describes arm64 Xen support: 
https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/board/xen/xenguest_arm64.html .

I have CCed the U-Boot Xen maintainers hoping they can indicate the missing 
pieces for arm32.

Best regards

Heinrich


I'm looking for the source code of a specific u-boot version.

2023-12-27 Thread Mario Marietto
Hello.

I'm trying to boot FreeBSD for arm32 bit as DomU on my ARM Chromebook
SNOW with xen. Basically there are two ways to accomplish this task :


1) to write a patch that allows the FreeBSD kernel to boot as a zImage
file. This could be accomplished applying this patch to a specific
file that's on the source code of FreeBSD :


https://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=p...8;hb=0782e25d98cc1391472717035f986c979edef0c9



This patch was written by Julien Grall a lot of time ago and now it
does not work anymore. This is the reason explain by the xen
developers :



It appears FreeBSD-CURRENT removed the last step converting the kernel
file to kernel.bin.The patch can be readily rebased, but without
kernel.bin that doesn't do too much.



So,without a rebase of that patch the first option is not applicable.
And I'm not able to fix it.


2) booting FreeBSD using U-Boot,as explained to me by a xen developer :


I was trying to explain why and how Julien's patch works so that you
could be the one to re-do something similar or fix the patch on the
FreeBSD kernel that you are working with. I am happy to help review
and write patches but I don't work with the FreeBSD kernel so I
wouldn't be able to help you quickly. However, I might have a
suggestion. Do you know if FreeBSD can be booted by U-Boot ? Because
U-Boot definitely boots as Xen on ARM guest firmware/bootloader. You
should be able to build U-Boot and use the U-Boot binary as Xen guest
kernel, then U-Boot could load FreeBSD from disk or network and start
it. For instance as domU config file:

kernel="/home/petalinux/u-boot.bin"
disk = [ '/home/petalinux/test.img,raw,xvda' ]


Actually I'm working on the idea n. 2. Basically I need to find the
proper u-boot file that's able to boot the image of FreeBSD that I
have installed (13.2 for arm32 bit). Maybe I found it here :


http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromeos-localmirror/distfiles/nv_uboot-snow-simplefb.kpart.bz2


I found that link inside this tutorial :


https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Chromebook


the version of u-boot that has been embedded in that file is the following one :


# strings nv_uboot-snow-simplefb.kpart | grep U-Boot
U-Boot 2011.12-gc1f6280 (May 27 2013 - 15:06:59) for SMDK5250


So the question is easy : I need to find the source code of that old
version of u-boot,because once compiled,it will give me the proper
u-boot.bin kernel / bootloader file that maybe will be able to boot
FreeBSD.
