Running U-Boot from coreboot on Chromebooks
|
||||
===========================================
|
||||
Chromium OS Support in U-Boot
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
U-Boot can be used as a secondary boot loader in a few situations such as from
|
||||
UEFI and coreboot (see README.x86). Recent Chromebooks use coreboot even on
|
||||
ARM platforms to start up the machine.
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
This document aims to provide a guide to booting U-Boot on a Chromebook. It
|
||||
is only a starting point, and there are many guides on the interwebs. But
|
||||
placing this information in the U-Boot tree should make it easier to find for
|
||||
those who use U-Boot habitually.
|
||||
This describes how to use U-Boot with Chromium OS. Several options are
|
||||
available:
|
||||
|
||||
Most of these platforms are supported by U-Boot natively, but it is risky to
|
||||
replace the ROM unless you have a servo board and cable to restore it with.
|
||||
- Running U-Boot from the 'altfw' feature, which is available on selected
|
||||
Chromebooks from 2019 onwards (initially Grunt). Press '1' from the
|
||||
developer-mode screen to get into U-Boot. See here for details:
|
||||
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/poking-around-your-chrome-os-device?pli=1
|
||||
|
||||
- Running U-Boot from the disk partition. This involves signing U-Boot and
|
||||
placing it on the disk, for booting as a 'kernel'. See
|
||||
README.chromium-chainload for information on this. This is the only
|
||||
option on non-U-Boot Chromebooks from 2013 to 2018 and is somewhat
|
||||
more involved.
|
||||
|
||||
- Running U-Boot with Chromium OS verified boot. This allows U-Boot to be
|
||||
used instead of either or both of depthcharge (a bootloader which forked
|
||||
from U-Boot in 2013) and coreboot. See below for more information on
|
||||
this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
For all of these the standard U-Boot build instructions apply. For example on
|
||||
ARM:
|
||||
U-Boot with Chromium OS verified boot
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
|
||||
mkdir b
|
||||
make O=b/nyan_big CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- nyan-big_defconfig all
|
||||
To obtain:
|
||||
|
||||
You can obtain the vbutil_kernel utility here:
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/sglass68/u-boot.git
|
||||
cd u-boot
|
||||
git checkout cros-master
|
||||
|
||||
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7WYZbZ9zd-3dHlVVXo4VXE2T0U
|
||||
To build for sandbox:
|
||||
|
||||
UB=/tmp/b/chromeos_sandbox # U-Boot build directory
|
||||
CROS=/home/sglass/cosarm # Chromium OS directory
|
||||
make O=$UB/chromeos_sandbox_defconfig
|
||||
make O=$UB -j20 -s VBOOT_SOURCE=$CROS/src/platform/vboot_reference \
|
||||
MAKEFLAGS_VBOOT=DEBUG=1 QUIET=1
|
||||
|
||||
Replace sandbox with another supported target.
|
||||
|
||||
This produces $UB/image.bin which contains the firmware binaries in a SPI
|
||||
flash image.
|
||||
|
||||
To run on sandbox:
|
||||
|
||||
$UB/tpl/u-boot-tpl -d $UB/u-boot.dtb.out \
|
||||
-L6 -c "host bind 0 $CROS/src/build/images/cheza/latest/chromiumos_image.bin; vboot go auto" \
|
||||
-l -w -s state.dtb -r
|
||||
|
||||
To run on other boards:
|
||||
Install image.bin in the SPI flash of your device
|
||||
Boot your system
|
||||
|
||||

||||

-----------------------------
|
||||
Sandbox
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
See here:
|
||||
Most Chromium OS development with U-Boot is undertaken using sandbox. There is
|
||||
a sandbox target available (chromeos_sandbox) which allows running U-Boot on
|
||||
a Linux machine completion with emulations of the display, TPM, disk, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/firmware-porting-guide/using-nv-u-boot-on-the-samsung-arm-chromebook
|
||||
Running sandbox starts TPL, which contains the first phase of vboot, providing
|
||||
a device tree and binding a Chromium OS disk image for use to find kernels
|
||||
(any Chromium OS image will do). It also saves driver state between U-Boot
|
||||
phases into state.dtb and will automatically ensure that memory is shared
|
||||
between all phases. TPL will jump to SPL and then on to U-Boot proper.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to run with debugging on, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
gdb --args $UB/tpl/u-boot-tpl -d ....
|
||||
|
||||
Breakpoints can be set in any U-Boot phase. Overall this is a good debugging
|
||||
environment for new verified-boot features.
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
Samus
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
Basic support is available for samus, using the chromeos_samus target. If you
|
||||
have an em100, use:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo em100 -s -c W25Q128FW -d $UB/image.bin -t -r
|
||||
|
||||
to write the image and then boot samus (Power-Refresh).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Boot flow
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
Verified boot starts in TPL, which selects the A or B SPL, which in turn selects
|
||||
the A or B U-Boot. Then this jumps to the selected kernel. If anything goes
|
||||
wrong, the device reboots and the recovery SPL and U-Boot are used instead.
|
||||
|
||||
More details are available here:
|
||||
|
||||
https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/firmware-boot-and-recovery
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
New uclasses
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Several uclasses are provided in cros/:
|
||||
|
||||
UCLASS_CROS_AUX_FW Chrome OS auxiliary firmware
|
||||
UCLASS_CROS_FWSTORE Chrome OS firmware storage
|
||||
UCLASS_CROS_NVDATA Chrome OS non-volatile data device
|
||||
UCLASS_CROS_VBOOT_EC Chrome OS vboot EC operations
|
||||
UCLASS_CROS_VBOOT_FLAG Chrome OS verified boot flag
|
||||
|
||||
The existing UCLASS_CROS_EC is also used.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Commands
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Compiled based on information here:
|
||||
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-March/209530.html
|
||||
https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/tomeu/u-boot.git/commit/?h=nyan-big
|
||||
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2017-May/289491.html
|
||||
https://github.com/chromeos-nvidia-androidtv/gnu-linux-on-acer-chromebook-13#copy-data-to-the-sd-card
|
||||
A new 'vboot' command is provided to run particular vboot stages. The most
|
||||
useful command is 'vboot go auto', which continues where the last stage left
|
||||
off.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build U-Boot
|
||||
Note that TPL and SPL do not supports commands as yet, so the vboot code is
|
||||
called directly from the SPL boot devices (BOOT_DEVICE_CROS_VBOOT). See
|
||||
cros_load_image_tpl() and cros_load_image_spl() which both call
|
||||
vboot_run_auto().
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir b
|
||||
make -j8 O=b/nyan-big CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- nyan-big_defconfig all
|
||||
|
||||
Config options
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
2. Select a .its file
|
||||
The main option is CONFIG_CHROMEOS, which enables a wide array of other options
|
||||
so that the required features are present.
|
||||
|
||||
Select something from doc/chromium which matches your board, or create your
|
||||
own.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the device tree node is required, even though it is not actually
|
||||
used by U-Boot. This is because the Chromebook expects to pass it to the
|
||||
kernel, and crashes if it is not present.
|
||||
Device-tree config
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Various options are available which control the operation of verified boot.
|
||||
See cros/dts/bindings/config.txt for details. Most config is handled at run-
|
||||
time, although build-time config (with Kconfig) could also be added fairly
|
||||
easily.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Build and sign an image
|
||||
|
||||
./b/nyan-big/tools/mkimage -f doc/chromium/nyan-big.its u-boot-chromium.fit
|
||||
echo test >dummy.txt
|
||||
vbutil_kernel --arch arm --keyblock doc/chromium/devkeys/kernel.keyblock \
|
||||
--signprivate doc/chromium/devkeys/kernel_data_key.vbprivk \
|
||||
--version 1 --config dummy.txt --vmlinuz u-boot-chromium.fit \
|
||||
--bootloader dummy.txt --pack u-boot.kpart
|
||||
Porting to other hardware
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A basic port to samus (Chromebook Pixel 2015) is in a basic working state,
|
||||
using the chromeos_samus target. Patches will likely be forthcoming in early
|
||||
2019. Ports to an ARM board and coreboot (for x86 Chromebooks) are in the
|
||||
dreaming state.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Prepare an SD card
|
||||
|
||||
DISK=/dev/sdc # Replace with your actual SD card device
|
||||
sudo cgpt create $DISK
|
||||
sudo cgpt add -b 34 -s 32768 -P 1 -S 1 -t kernel $DISK
|
||||
sudo cgpt add -b 32802 -s 2000000 -t rootfs $DISK
|
||||
sudo gdisk $DISK # Enter command 'w' to write a protective MBR to the disk
|
||||
Tests
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
Chromium OS firmware has a very limited set of tests. The tests that originally
|
||||
existed in U-Boot were not brought over to coreboot or depthcharge.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Write U-Boot to the SD card
|
||||
The U-Boot tests ('make check') do operate, but at present there are no
|
||||
Chromium OS tests available. These will hopefully come together over time. Of
|
||||
course the above sandbox feature provides a sort of functional test and can
|
||||
detecte problems that affect the flow or particular vboot features.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo dd if=u-boot.kpart of=/dev/sdc1; sync
|
||||
|
||||
TO DO
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
6. Start it up
|
||||
- Support for booting from coreboot (patches expected March 2019)
|
||||
- Support for booting from an ARM board, e.g. bob
|
||||
|
||||
Reboot the device in dev mode. Make sure that you have USB booting enabled. To
|
||||
do this, login as root (via Ctrl-Alt-forward_arrow) and type
|
||||
'enable_dev_usb_boot'. You only need to do this once.
|
||||
|
||||
Reboot the device with the SD card inserted. Press Clrl-U at the developer
|
||||
mode screen. It should show something like the following on the display:
|
||||
|
||||
U-Boot 2017.07-00637-g242eb42-dirty (May 22 2017 - 06:14:21 -0600)
|
||||
|
||||
Model: Acer Chromebook 13 CB5-311
|
||||
Board: Google/NVIDIA Nyan-big, ID: 1
|
||||
|
||||
Net: No ethernet found.
|
||||
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
|
||||
Tegra124 (Nyan-big) #
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
7. Known problems
|
||||
|
||||
On the serial console the word MMC is chopped at the start of the line:
|
||||
|
||||
C: sdhci@700b0000: 2, sdhci@700b0400: 1, sdhci@700b0600: 0
|
||||
|
||||
This is likely due to some problem with change-over of the serial driver
|
||||
during relocation (or perhaps updating the clock setup in board_init()).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
9. Notes
|
||||
|
||||
To check that you copied the u-boot.its file correctly, use these commands.
|
||||
You should see that the data at 0x100 in u-boot-chromium.fit is the first few
|
||||
bytes of U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
hd u-boot-chromium.fit |head -20
|
||||
...
|
||||
00000100 b8 00 00 ea 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 |................|
|
||||
|
||||
hd b/nyan-big/u-boot.bin |head
|
||||
00000000 b8 00 00 ea 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 |................|
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The 'data' property of the FIT is set up to start at offset 0x100 bytes into
|
||||
the file. The change to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is also an offset of 0x100 bytes
|
||||
from the load address. If this changes, you either need to modify U-Boot to be
|
||||
fully relocatable, or expect it to hang.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

Other notes
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
flashrom
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Used to make a backup of your firmware, or to replace it.
|
||||
|
||||
See: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/packages/cros-flashrom
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
coreboot
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Coreboot itself is not designed to actually boot an OS. Instead, a program
|
||||
called Depthcharge is used. This originally came out of U-Boot and was then
|
||||
heavily hacked and modified such that is is almost unrecognisable. It does
|
||||
include a very small part of the U-Boot command-line interface but is not
|
||||
usable as a general-purpose boot loader.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, it has a very unusual design in that it does not do device init
|
||||
itself, but instead relies on coreboot. This is similar to (in U-Boot) having
|
||||
a SPI driver with an empty probe() method, relying on whatever was set up
|
||||
beforehand. It can be quite hard to figure out between these two code bases
|
||||
what settings are actually used. When chain-loading into U-Boot we must be
|
||||
careful to reinit anything that U-Boot expects. If not, some peripherals (or
|
||||
the whole machine) may not work. This makes the process of chainloading more
|
||||
complicated than it could be on some platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, it supports only a subset of the U-Boot's FIT format. In particular
|
||||
it uses a fixed address to load the FIT and does not support load/exec
|
||||
addresses. This means that U-Boot must be able to boot from whatever
|
||||
address Depthcharge happens to use (it is the CONFIG_KERNEL_START setting
|
||||
in Depthcharge). In practice this means that the data in the kernel@1 FIT node
|
||||
(see above) must start at the same address as U-Boot's CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

Running U-Boot from coreboot on Chromebooks
|
||||
===========================================
|
||||
|
||||
U-Boot can be used as a secondary boot loader in a few situations such as from
|
||||
UEFI and coreboot (see README.x86). Recent Chromebooks use coreboot even on
|
||||
ARM platforms to start up the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
This document aims to provide a guide to booting U-Boot on a Chromebook. It
|
||||
is only a starting point, and there are many guides on the interwebs. But
|
||||
placing this information in the U-Boot tree should make it easier to find for
|
||||
those who use U-Boot habitually.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of these platforms are supported by U-Boot natively, but it is risky to
|
||||
replace the ROM unless you have a servo board and cable to restore it with.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
For all of these the standard U-Boot build instructions apply. For example on
|
||||
ARM:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
|
||||
mkdir b
|
||||
make O=b/nyan_big CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- nyan-big_defconfig all

|
||||
https://github.com/chromeos-nvidia-androidtv/gnu-linux-on-acer-chromebook-13#copy-data-to-the-sd-card
|
||||
|
||||
1. Build U-Boot
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir b
|
||||
make -j8 O=b/nyan-big CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- nyan-big_defconfig all
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Select a .its file
|
||||
|
||||
Select something from doc/chromium which matches your board, or create your
|
||||
own.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the device tree node is required, even though it is not actually
|
||||
used by U-Boot. This is because the Chromebook expects to pass it to the
|
||||
kernel, and crashes if it is not present.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3. Build and sign an image
|
||||
|

./b/nyan-big/tools/mkimage -f doc/chromium/nyan-big.its u-boot-chromium.fit
|
||||
echo test >dummy.txt

--bootloader dummy.txt --pack u-boot.kpart
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Prepare an SD card
|
||||
|
||||
DISK=/dev/sdc # Replace with your actual SD card device
|
||||
sudo cgpt create $DISK
|
||||
sudo cgpt add -b 34 -s 32768 -P 1 -S 1 -t kernel $DISK
|
||||
sudo cgpt add -b 32802 -s 2000000 -t rootfs $DISK
|
||||
sudo gdisk $DISK # Enter command 'w' to write a protective MBR to the disk
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5. Write U-Boot to the SD card
|
||||
|
||||
sudo dd if=u-boot.kpart of=/dev/sdc1; sync
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6. Start it up
|
||||
|
||||
Reboot the device in dev mode. Make sure that you have USB booting enabled. To
|
||||
do this, login as root (via Ctrl-Alt-forward_arrow) and type
|
||||
'enable_dev_usb_boot'. You only need to do this once.
|
||||
|
||||
Reboot the device with the SD card inserted. Press Clrl-U at the developer
|
||||
mode screen. It should show something like the following on the display:
|
||||
|
||||
U-Boot 2017.07-00637-g242eb42-dirty (May 22 2017 - 06:14:21 -0600)

7. Known problems
|
||||
|
||||
On the serial console the word MMC is chopped at the start of the line:
|
||||
|
||||
C: sdhci@700b0000: 2, sdhci@700b0400: 1, sdhci@700b0600: 0
|
||||
|
||||
This is likely due to some problem with change-over of the serial driver
|
||||
during relocation (or perhaps updating the clock setup in board_init()).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
9. Notes
|
||||
|
||||
To check that you copied the u-boot.its file correctly, use these commands.
|
||||
You should see that the data at 0x100 in u-boot-chromium.fit is the first few
|
||||
bytes of U-Boot:
|
||||
|
||||
hd u-boot-chromium.fit |head -20
|
||||
...
|
||||
00000100 b8 00 00 ea 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 |................|
|
||||
|
||||
hd b/nyan-big/u-boot.bin |head
|
||||
00000000 b8 00 00 ea 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 14 f0 9f e5 |................|
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The 'data' property of the FIT is set up to start at offset 0x100 bytes into
|
||||
the file. The change to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is also an offset of 0x100 bytes
|
||||
from the load address. If this changes, you either need to modify U-Boot to be
|
||||
fully relocatable, or expect it to hang.

----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The instruction are similar to those for Nyan with changes as noted below:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Patch U-Boot
|
||||
|
||||
Open include/configs/rk3288_common.h
|
||||
|
||||
Change:
|
||||
|
||||
#define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x00100000
|
||||
|
||||
to:
|
||||
|
||||
#define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x02000100
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Build U-Boot
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir b
|
||||
make -j8 O=b/chromebook_jerry CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- \
|
||||
chromebook_jerry_defconfig all
|
||||

Other notes
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
flashrom
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Used to make a backup of your firmware, or to replace it.
|
||||
|
||||
See: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/packages/cros-flashrom
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
coreboot
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Coreboot itself is not designed to actually boot an OS. Instead, a program
|
||||
called Depthcharge is used. This originally came out of U-Boot and was then
|
||||
heavily hacked and modified such that is is almost unrecognisable. It does
|
||||
include a very small part of the U-Boot command-line interface but is not
|
||||
usable as a general-purpose boot loader.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, it has a very unusual design in that it does not do device init
|
||||
itself, but instead relies on coreboot. This is similar to (in U-Boot) having
|
||||
a SPI driver with an empty probe() method, relying on whatever was set up
|
||||
beforehand. It can be quite hard to figure out between these two code bases
|
||||
what settings are actually used. When chain-loading into U-Boot we must be
|
||||
careful to reinit anything that U-Boot expects. If not, some peripherals (or
|
||||
the whole machine) may not work. This makes the process of chainloading more
|
||||
complicated than it could be on some platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, it supports only a subset of the U-Boot's FIT format. In particular
|
||||
it uses a fixed address to load the FIT and does not support load/exec
|
||||
addresses. This means that U-Boot must be able to boot from whatever
|
||||
address Depthcharge happens to use (it is the CONFIG_KERNEL_START setting
|
||||
in Depthcharge). In practice this means that the data in the kernel@1 FIT node
|
||||
(see above) must start at the same address as U-Boot's CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.
