Has anyone installed ONIE using coreboot?.
by Dhanasekar Jaganathan June 21, 2017

June 21, 2017

Hi all, Has anyone installed ONIE using coreboot (on any platform)?. If so, Please share me the steps. I am trying to install ONIE on Accton board which has Cavium switch and Intel Rangeley Atom CPU.. Below, I have mentioned steps which I tried, 1.I have downloaded source ONIE source from ONIE site and built it. 2. Extracted ISO image into USB pendrive. eg. dd if=onie-recovery-x86_64-accton_as5712_54x-r0.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M 3. In grub command prompt, >insmod ehci >set root='usb0' >configfile (usb0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg >selected "ONIE Embedded" Observation: ONIE is installing on "dev/sda".( I am thinking it should install on hd0. ). After restart, I am not seeing ONIE in grub menu. Please correct me, If I am wrong. Thanks, Dhanasekar

Re: [coreboot] How to give control to bootable USB
by Zoran Stojsavljevic June 16, 2017

To simplify your tests... If you have enough space on your /boot on your HDD, you can do the following: [1] Copy your ONIE-live-XYZ.iso (or whatever the true name is) there from USB stick to /boot partition; [2] Simplify the grub.cfg script like this: menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." onie_entry_start set root='hd0,msdos1' ## hd0 is your HDD, 1 is /boot -> /dev/sda1) set isofile=/ONIE-live-XYZ.iso ## or whatever your ONIE... .iso image is named loopback loop $isofile *linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater *initrd (loop)/live/initrd.xz* onie_entry_end If this does work, U R Cool. But you need to have at least size of ~ 2GB for /boot (assuming your .iso is no more than ~1.5 GB in size). This is why I ALWAYS assign to /boot (/dev/sda1) NO LESS that 2GB in space! ;-) Zoran On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 3:37 PM, Dhanasekar Jaganathan < jdhanasekarmca(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Zoran, > > Thanks for the info. > > With previously attached grub.cfg + Vendor BIOS, I can able to install > ONIE from USB. > But with Coreboot + GRUB2 + previously attached grub.cfg, I am unable to > install ONIE from USB. > > I am going to try your changes, I will let you know. > > Thanks, > Dhanasekar > > On Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 6:51 PM, Zoran Stojsavljevic < > zoran.stojsavljevic(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hello Dhanasekar, >> >> This, I guess, is not (entirely) correct: >> >> menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { >> echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." >> onie_entry_start >> *linux /vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed >> install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater >> * initrd /initrd.xz* >> onie_entry_end >> >> You should have something similar to the following: >> >> menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { >> echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." >> onie_entry_start >> set root='hdX,msdosY' ## hdX is your USB stick, Y partition, U R >> booting from, U should find going to GRUB2 monitor (with > prompt) >> set isofile=/<dir path>/ONIE-live-XYZ.iso ## or whatever your ONIE... >> .iso image is named >> loopback loop $isofile >> *linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed >> install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater >> *initrd (loop)/live/initrd.xz* >> onie_entry_end >> >> Please, investigate a bit more using google.com!

Adding test configurations for jenkins builds
by Martin Roth June 15, 2017

June 15, 2017

We recently added the ability for anyone to submit a configuration for the jenkins test builds. This will help us to build-test currently untested configurations. To add a new test configuration for jenkins, add a miniconfig for the platform into the coreboot/configs directory. The configuration name must accurately reflect the platform being built: 'config.vendor_board_testname' When adding a new config, it's recommended that you look at the existing files to see what the new config should look like. Steps for adding a config: - Create the config to test: This is done with 'make menuconfig', then by running 'make savedefconfig' to generate the miniconfig which gets saved as the file 'defconfig'. - Get the name for the config: The config will be named as a lowercase version of the Kconfig board name. "config.emulation_qemu_x86_i440fx_testname" for example. You can get it from defconfig with this command: echo "config.$( grep _BOARD defconfig | sed 's|.*_BOARD_||' | sed 's|\=y||' | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')_" - Copy the defconfig into the configs directory as the new name. - Test the configuration and verify that the board configuration is being built, run abuild from the coreboot directory, and you should see that your updated config gets built. % util/abuild/abuild -t emulation/qemu-i440fx Building config EMULATION_QEMU_X86_I440FX ... EMULATION_QEMU_X86_I440FX built successfully. (took 17s) Building config EMULATION_QEMU_X86_I440FX_DEBUG ... EMULATION_QEMU_X86_I440FX_DEBUG built successfully. (took 10s) Building config EMULATION_QEMU_X86_I440FX_NOSERIAL ... EMULATION_QEMU_X86_I440FX_NOSERIAL built successfully. (took 9s) - Submit a patch with the config Jenkins will test the updated config immediately in that patch Additional notes: - If the saved configuration is named with no test name: 'config.vendor_board' it will be used by jenkins as the default build for that platform. This is useful for getting jenkins to build default configuration that is slightly more advanced than the Kconfig default build for that platform. - The configs that are typically tested by jenkins are VERY simple - they would typically include just the board and vendor and nothing else - what you would get if you ran make menuconfig and JUST changed the vendor and boardname, then saved and exited. - Binaries that are in the blobs repository can be included in the build, but including other files will not work. - The files in the configs/builder directory are not for jenkins. These are for the coreboot build system, which has not yet been completed. They are miniconfig files that will generate actual working ROM files for the platform if the correct blobs are in the specified location (site-local).

Hi Zoran, Thanks for the info. With previously attached grub.cfg + Vendor BIOS, I can able to install ONIE from USB. But with Coreboot + GRUB2 + previously attached grub.cfg, I am unable to install ONIE from USB. I am going to try your changes, I will let you know.

Hello Dhanasekar, This, I guess, is not (entirely) correct: menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." onie_entry_start *linux /vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater * initrd /initrd.xz* onie_entry_end You should have something similar to the following: menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." onie_entry_start set root='hdX,msdosY' ## hdX is your USB stick, Y partition, U R booting from, U should find going to GRUB2 monitor (with > prompt) set isofile=/<dir path>/ONIE-live-XYZ.iso ## or whatever your ONIE... .iso image is named loopback loop $isofile *linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater *initrd (loop)/live/initrd.xz* onie_entry_end Please, investigate a bit more using google.com! And let us know if you did solve the problem (post the final grub2 menyentry which works for you).
