Subject: Booting a board with Redboot
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2007 22:53:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1171407217.5481.18.camel@localhost> (raw)
Hi.
I'm new to Redboot and are in the process of setting up a new board
(with a MIPS) that will have Redboot and Linux.
I have managed to get a RAMROM version of RedBoot running on the board,
and can use that with the serial consol (the board has no network
connection).
The questions that I have are:
1. One I have a Linux image on the board, how will Redboot automagically
boot that image? All I can see is commands to do it using the CLI.
2. The documentation for the "exec" command specifies that the option -b
is used to specify the loaded address of the image (ie to me that
indicates where the image is stored, in flash). The source though gives
that -b is used as argument address...
3. When a Linux image is booted, is it Redboot that copies the Linux
image from flash to RAM or is it up to Linux?
Best Regards
Anders
