Configuring U-Boot to Boot from Flash
The ATCA-F120 provides two redundant boot flashes which contain the U-boot images and
also Linux kernel images. It also provides two redundant user flashes which contain two
redundant root file systems. The user flashes are NAND flash devices. See also
for details.
This section describes how to configure U-boot to boot a Linux kernel stored in the boot flash
and to mount the root file system in the user flash. The procedure uses the U-Boot script
flashboot
which has been predefined by Artesyn.
Procedure
In order to configure U-boot to boot the Linux kernel from the on-board boot flash, proceed as
follows.
1. Connect to U-boot as described in
Accessing U-Boot via the Serial Console
2. Configure U-boot to persistently boot from flash, i.e. make the configuration
persistent.
setenv bootcmd run $flashboot
3. Depending on your system configuration, you may want to specify network
parameters as follows:
setenv serverip
setenv serverip
setenv netmask
