2. Config to bootstrap

2.0 Display enviroment variables

Using ‘setenv’ without any other arguments to display all enviroment variables:

YAMON> setenv
baseboardserial (RO)   0000001194
bootfile        (R/W)
bootprot        (R/W)  tftp
bootserport     (R/W)  tty0
bootserver      (R/W)  0.0.0.0
cpuconfig       (R/W)
ethaddr         (RO)   00.d0.a0.00.05.b6
fpu             (R/W)
gateway         (R/W)  0.0.0.0
ipaddr          (R/W)  0.0.0.0
memsize         (RO)   0x04000000
modetty0        (R/W)  38400,n,8,1,hw
modetty1        (R/W)  38400,n,8,1,hw
prompt          (R/W)  YAMON
start           (R/W)
startdelay      (R/W)
subnetmask      (R/W)  0.0.0.0
yamonrev        (RO)   02.13

2.1 Set ethernet variables

YAMON does not supply explicit ethernet configure commands. You need to set following environment variables (YAMON predefine) for supporting ethernet:

ipaddr
subnetmask
gateway

Using ‘setenv’ to set these variable:

YAMON> setenv ipaddr 128.224.165.68
YAMON> setenv subnetmask 255.255.255.0
YAMON> setenv gateway  128.224.165.1

‘setenv’ store the environment variable permanently in the NVRAM.

After seting the ethernet, you can use the ‘ping’ command to test the network:

YAMON> ping 192.168.29.11

If the setting is OK, it’ll output like following:

. 64 bytes ICMP-ECHO-REPLY user data received from 192.168.29.11

Otherwise:

Error : Gateway IP-address is not set
Diag  : Gateway IP-address: 0.0.0.0
Hint  : Check environment variable 'gateway'

2.2 Load & execute

YAMON supply ‘load’ command to load image from serial port or Ethernet to RAM. The only image type currently supported is SREC:

YAMON> load tftp://128.224.165.20/vlm-boards/15440/vmlinux.srec
YAMON> load asc://tty0

‘load’ command does not support loading file to a user specified address.

You can use following YAMON predefined variable to specify the default value:

bootprot                        -------> specify the default boot protocol used by 'load' command (tftp/asc)
bootserver                      -------> specify the default TFTP server ip
bootfile                        -------> specify the default TFTP file
bootserport                     -------> specify the default serial port used by 'load' command

So after executing following commands:

YAMON> setenv bootprot tftp
YAMON> setenv bootserver 128.224.165.20
YAMON> setenv bootfile vlm-boards/15440/vmlinux.srec

We only need type ‘load’ without following long strings:

YAMON> load
About to load tftp://128.224.165.20/vlm-boards/15440/vmlinux.srec
Press Ctrl-C to break
........................................
........................................
........................................
........................................
.................
Start = 0x80410b90, range = (0x80100000,0x80533085), format = SREC

After loading kernel, we need to use ‘go’ command to start kernel at target address:

YAMON> go . root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/export/rootfs ip=192.168.1.2 console=ttyS0,38400

‘.’ reference to the default execution address which is from the last sucessful ‘load’ or ‘go’ command (if any). This default address can be showed by:

YAMON> go ? Address = 0x80410b90

Following command equal to the previous command:

YAMON> go 0x80410b90 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/export/rootfs ip=192.168.1.2 console=ttyS0,38400

2.3 Automatic bootstrap

YAMON use predefined variable ‘start’ as the automatic bootstrap command, YAMON will give the user the option to press Ctrl-C within 2 seconds to cancel execution of the start command.

We can set ‘startdelay’ variable to specify the delay seconds. But if set ‘startdelay’ to 0, the start command will not be executed.

YAMON> setenv start "load; go . root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/export/rootfs ip=192.168.1.2 console=ttyS0,38400"
YAMON> setenv startdelay 1

If you predefine some variables like following:

YAMON> setenv nfsboot "root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/export/rootfs"
YAMON> setenv addtty "console=ttyS0,38400"
YAMON> setenv ip "ip=192.168.1.2"

You can define the ‘start’ like this:

YAMON> setenv start "load; go . ${nfsboot} ${addtty} ${ip}"

3. Memory commands

3.1 Disassemble instructions

Disassemble 5 instuctions at 0xbfc00100:

4. Flash commands

4.1 Erase flash

Usage:

erase -e | address size

WARNING: Using following command, you need to be familiar with the flash start address and its size. Do not erase the YAMON!

erase 0xbfc00000 20

Following command erase environment flash, the system environment variables are reinitialised to factory default values.

erase -e

4.2 update flash

You can use ‘copy’, ‘disk’ and ‘load’ commands to update the flash

copy [-f] src_addr dst_addr size
disk [-f] read hda/b/c/d sector count dst_addr

‘-f’ Don’t flush caches

Using ‘load’ to downloading S-records may include flash programming if the S-record is bound to a flash memory area. This area must be erased before downloading.

5.4 Help

YAMON> help cp1

MON> help cp1

NAME
    cp1

SYNOPSIS
    cp1 [ ( | ) [] ]

DESCRIPTION
    Read/write CP1 control register(s).

    If no arguments are applied, all CP1 control registers are read.
    A register may be selected by name or number.
    If a value is given, this value is written to the register, otherwise
    the register is read.
    Writing a CP1 control register takes effect immediately.

    Settings of CP1 control registers are also applied to user applications
    (started with 'go' or 'gdb').
