MK_ROMFS - Make a ROMFS image
|
| 2 |
|
|
=============================
|
| 3 |
|
|
|
| 4 |
|
|
This program creates a ROMFS image that can be read by eCos.
|
| 5 |
|
|
|
| 6 |
|
|
mk_romfs - Create an eCos ROMFS disk image from the files
|
| 7 |
|
|
contained under a specified directory
|
| 8 |
|
|
|
| 9 |
|
|
Usage: ../support/mk_romfs [options]
|
| 10 |
|
|
fs_root is the directory containing the files to package into the ROMFS image
|
| 11 |
|
|
fs_file is the name of the ROMFS image file to create
|
| 12 |
|
|
Options include:
|
| 13 |
|
|
-v / -q increase / decrease verbosity
|
| 14 |
|
|
-n do everything EXCEPT creating the output file
|
| 15 |
|
|
-b write a big-endian image (default is little endian)
|
| 16 |
|
|
-l collapse hard links to a single node
|

|
|
How to use.
|
| 20 |
|
|
-----------
|
| 21 |
|
|
|
| 22 |
|
|
For example, suppose you wish to access the following directories and files:
|
| 23 |
|
|
/
|
| 24 |
|
|
/etc passwd, group
|
| 25 |
|
|
/dev
|
| 26 |
|
|
/mnt
|
| 27 |
|
|
/tmp (for a RAMFS)
|
| 28 |
|
|
/var (for a RAMFS)
|
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
1. Create the required directories and files under a suitable root, eg. under
|
| 31 |
|
|
~/rom:
|
| 32 |
|
|
$ mkdir ~/rom
|
| 33 |
|
|
$ cd ~/rom
|
| 34 |
|
|
$ mkdir etc dev mnt tmp var
|
| 35 |
|
|
$ cp /etc/passwd /etc/group etc/
|
| 36 |
|
|
( remembering to edit these files....;-)
|
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
2. Make the romfs image in a suitable place, eg /tftpboot for direct upload to
|
| 39 |
|
|
the RedBoot monitor.
|
| 40 |
|
|
$ mk_romfs -v . /tftpboot/romfs.img
|
| 41 |
|
|
mk_romfs: Verbosity 2 little endian
|
| 42 |
|
|
Phase 1 - Build file list
|
| 43 |
|
|
Phase 2 - Calculate space allocation
|
| 44 |
|
|
Phase 2a - * Directories
|
| 45 |
|
|
Phase 2b - * Regular files
|
| 46 |
|
|
Phase 2c - * Executable files
|
| 47 |
|
|
Phase 3 - Construct ROMFS image file (3 kb)
|
| 48 |
|
|
Phase 3a - * Node table
|
| 49 |
|
|
Phase 3b - * Data blocks
|
| 50 |
|
|
/tftpboot/romfs.img completed
|
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
3. Connect to your target RedBoot monitor, and load the romfs image. You will
|
| 53 |
|
|
need to determine a suitable place in RAM to load the image into.
|
| 54 |
|
|
$ telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1000
|
| 55 |
|
|
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
|
| 56 |
|
|
Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
|
| 57 |
|
|
Escape character is '^]'.
|
| 58 |
|
|
RedBoot> load romfs.img -r -v -b 0x1000000
|
| 59 |
|
|
Raw file loaded 0x01000000-0x0100093e
|
| 60 |
|
|
RedBoot>
|
| 61 |
|
|
|
| 62 |
|
|
4. Determine where to load the romfs image in the ROM. See what's there...
|
| 63 |
|
|
RedBoot> fis list
|
| 64 |
|
|
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
|
| 65 |
|
|
RedBoot 0x50000000 0x50000000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 66 |
|
|
RedBoot[backup] 0x50020000 0x50020000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 67 |
|
|
RedBoot config 0x503C0000 0x503C0000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 68 |
|
|
FIS directory 0x503E0000 0x503E0000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 69 |
|
|
RedBoot> fis free
|
| 70 |
|
|
0x50040000 .. 0x503C0000
|
| 71 |
|
|
RedBoot>
|
| 72 |
|
|
We can see that a suitable place would be 0x50040000.
|
| 73 |
|
|
Alternatively, you can let RedBoot determine the address itself...
|
| 74 |
|
|
|
| 75 |
|
|
5. Copy the image from RAM to ROM...
|
| 76 |
|
|
RedBoot> fis create -b 0x1000000 -l 0x940 RomFs
|
| 77 |
|
|
... Erase from 0x50040000-0x50040940: .
|
| 78 |
|
|
... Program from 0x01000000-0x01000940 at 0x50040000: .
|
| 79 |
|
|
... Erase from 0x503e0000-0x50400000: .
|
| 80 |
|
|
... Program from 0x01fd0000-0x01ff0000 at 0x503e0000: .
|
| 81 |
|
|
RedBoot> fis list
|
| 82 |
|
|
Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
|
| 83 |
|
|
RedBoot 0x50000000 0x50000000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 84 |
|
|
RedBoot[backup] 0x50020000 0x50020000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 85 |
|
|
RedBoot config 0x503C0000 0x503C0000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 86 |
|
|
FIS directory 0x503E0000 0x503E0000 0x020000 0x00000000
|
| 87 |
|
|
RomFs 0x50040000 0x01000000 0x000940 0x00000000
|
| 88 |
|
|
RedBoot>
|
| 89 |
|
|
|
| 90 |
|
|
6. MAKE A NOTE OF THE ADDRESS IN FLASH THAT THE IMAGE IS LOADED AT.
|
| 91 |
|
|
The ROMFS option 'CYGNUM_FS_ROM_BASE_ADDRESS' needs to be set to this
|
| 92 |
|
|
value in order to access the filesystem.
|
