This part describes the procedure for building and booting ChorusOS system images on UltraSPARC IIi/IIe, x86/Pentium, PowerPC 750/74x0, PowerPC SBC8260, and MPC8xx targets.
For information on the target system requirements as well as the ChorusOS packages available with a particular target, see the appropriate ChorusOS 5.0Target Family Guide.
A boot server system runs services that allow a ChorusOS target system to obtain a system image at boot time over the network.
This chapter explains how to configure a boot server running on the Solaris operating environment to respond to Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) requests from target systems and download ChorusOS system images to targets through Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). Both services must run on the same server. For information on setting up with other protocol services, see the ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide.
The following procedures apply to a system using NIS, not NIS+.
If you want to use DHCP, see the TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration Guide at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html.
This chapter includes the following sections:
The following figure shows how the boot process occurs, in chronological order from top to bottom:

Typically (though not for all targets), the target system bootstraps, and broadcasts a RARP request that says something like, "My Ethernet address is 8:0:20:a7:d6:f3. Could some system please tell me my IP address?" A boot server responds to the target with the IP address that it learned through /etc/ethers, NIS, DNS, or another service.
If RARP returns an IP address successfully, the target attempts to download the configuration file, /tftpboot/target_IP_address_in_hexadecimal_form, from the boot server that responded to the RARP request. This file identifies the system image file that the target is requesting.
If the target system cannot obtain its IP address through RARP, it sends a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request.
For example, if the target has IP address 129.157.197.88, the boot server address is 129.157.197.144, and the system image file is /tftpboot/chorus.bmon, the configuration file, /tftpboot/819DC558, would contain the following:
AUTOBOOT=YES BOOTFILE=chorus.bmon BOOTSERVER=129.157.197.144
After reading the configuration file, the target sends a TFTP request to the boot server saying, "Send me my system image file, system.image," where system.image is the path to the system image file. The boot server responds by downloading the system image file onto the target system.
The following procedures assume that you set up only one boot server that responds to RARP requests from the target system and delivers ChorusOS system images to targets through TFTP.
RARP service allows the target system to obtain its IP address over the Ethernet from the boot server.
If /tftpboot exists at boot time, a system running the Solaris operating environment starts the RARP daemon as part of normal system initialization.
The RARP daemon should run on a boot server whose IP network is the same as that of the target. See the TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration Guide and in.rarpd(1M) for details.
Check /etc/nsswitch.conf on the boot server for lines starting with ethers:
$ grep ^ethers /etc/nsswitch.conf |
|
If the output starts with |
Then |
|---|---|
|
ethers: nis For example: ethers: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files |
Proceed to Step 2. |
|
ethers: files For example: ethers: files nis [NOTFOUND=return] |
Proceed to Step 3. |
|
Something other than the preceding choices |
Ask your NIS administrator for help. |
Verify
whether the target is listed in the map ethers.byname:
$ ypmatch target_hostname ethers |
|
If the output is |
Then |
|---|---|
| target_Ethernet_address target_hostname |
Proceed to Step 4. |
| Can't match key target_hostname in map ethers.byname. Reason: no such key in map. |
Verify the target Ethernet address, and then proceed to Step 3. |
Add the following line to /etc/ethers on the boot server:
target_Ethernet_address target_hostname
Start the RARP daemon on the boot server:
$ su Password: superuser_password # /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -a |
The TFTP service allows the target system to obtain a ChorusOS system image from the boot server at boot time.
Due to network limitations in the TFTP, you may encounter difficulties when downloading large system images through TFTP.
Do not download images larger than 16 MB.
Create a /tftpboot directory on the boot server--unless it already exists:
$ ls /tftpboot /tftpboot: No such file or directory $ su Password: superuser_password # mkdir /tftpboot # chown user:group /tftpboot # exit $ chmod 664 /tftpboot |
The preceding commands allow user and group to write system images and boot configuration files to /tftpboot.
To enable TFTP services as part of normal system initialization, remove the comment character, #, from the TFTP daemon line in /etc/inetd.conf on the boot server:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
To start the TFTP daemon on the boot server, restart inetd:
$ su
Password: superuser_password
# ps -aef | grep inetd
root pid 1 0 Dec 15 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/inetd -s
# kill -1 pid
# exit
|
This chapter describes how to build and boot a ChorusOS system for UltraSPARC IIi/IIe processor families. For information on the system requirements and the packages available with UltraSPARC IIi/IIe targets, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Target Family Guide (SPARC Platform Edition).
UltraSPARC IIi/IIe target systems do not boot system images directly, but instead require inetboot to boot.
As a result, the boot procedure that follows differs from the procedure described in Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server, and requires that you use a boot server that reads local files instead of the NIS database.
This chapter includes the following sections:

The following procedure assumes that the Sun Embedded Workshop software has already been correctly installed on the host workstation. See Chapter 1, Installing on the Host for installation instructions.
Create and change to a build directory where you will build the system image:
$ mkdir build_dir $ cd build_dir |
The file system containing the build_dir directory must be accessible by NFS from the remote ChorusOS target.
Set an environment variable to use with the configure(1CC) command as a shortcut to the directory.
For example:
$ export DIR=/opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-UltraSPARC/chorus-usparc |
Verify that the PATH environment variable has been set correctly to include the directory:
install_dir/chorus-usparc/tools/host/bin
where the default install_dir is /opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-UltraSPARC.
The PATH environment variable must include /usr/openwin/bin, which contains the imake utility.
Configure the build directory, using the configure(1CC) command:
If you are building from a binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/usparc/cpxxxx |
The preceding command configures the build directory to include components installed during a "Default Install". This command does not include optional components, such as the X library or code examples, that you may choose decide to install separately on Solaris host workstations. For example, to include everything in your build environment:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/opt/X11 \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/usparc/cpxxxx \ $DIR/src/opt/examples |
If you are building the system image from a source distribution, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Source Delivery Guide.
As a result of the configuration, build_dir contains the Makefile, which generates the build environment, and the Paths file, which specifies paths to files required by and created in the build environment.
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
Define the target board using the TARGET feature using the configurator(1CC):
$ configurator -set TARGET=CP1500 |
The following options are available with the TARGET feature:
CP1500 (default)
CP2000
Build the system image:
$ make chorus |
The resulting system image file, chorus.obp, is located in the build_dir directory.
You can also make a smaller system image that includes only the operating system microkernel:
$ make kernonly |
Generate the NFS root file system:
$ make root |
This command creates a root directory in the build directory. The root directory contains binary and configuration files that are accessed by the target system.
The following procedure requires that the target system and boot server must be on the same subnet.
See Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server. for instructions on how to enable TFTP and RARP services on the boot server.
Become superuser on the boot server:
$ su Password: superuser_password # |
Copy the inetboot.sun4u file, that is, install_dir/chorus-usparc/opt/unsupported/inetboot.sun4u to the /tftpboot directory, where, the install_dir is /opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-UltraSPARC.
Create a soft link from the inetboot.sun4u file to a file called /tftpboot/target_IP_address_in_hex.
For example, the file for the target system with IP address 129.157.197.88 is called 819DC558, and is constructed as follows:
129 in decimal translates to 81 in hexadecimal
157 in decimal translates to 9D in hexadecimal
197 in decimal translates to C5 in hexadecimal
88 in decimal translates to 58 in hexadecimal
To create the soft link for the preceding examples, use the following commandS:
# ln -s /tftpboot/inetboot.sun4u 819DC558 |
Create a /tftpboot/export/root/target/platform/sun4u directory on the boot server.
Copy the system image, chorus.obp, to the directory you just created.
Edit /etc/bootparams to include the following:
target root=boot_server:/tftpboot/export/root/target
where target is the target system hostname and boot_server is the boot server hostname.
Create the bootparams file if it doesn't exist.
Edit /etc/hosts to include the following:
target_IP_address target
where target_IP_address is the target IP address (such as 129.157.197.88) and target is the target system hostname.
Edit /etc/ethers to include the following:
target_Ethernet_address target
where target_Ethernet_address is the target Ethernet address (such as 8:0:20:a7:d6:f3) and target is the target system hostname.
Edit /etc/dfs/dfstab to include the following:
share -F nfs -o rw -d "ChorusOS boot" /export/home
For the directory to be shared, you must stop and then restart the NFS server on the host workstation as follows:
$ su Password: superuser_password # /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start |
Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf so that the hosts, ethers, and bootparams entries read files, rather than NIS databases. For example:
# # /etc/nsswitch.nis: # # An example file that could be copied over to /etc/nsswitch.conf; it # uses NIS (YP) in conjunction with files. # # "hosts:" and "services:" in this file are used only if the # /etc/netconfig file has a "-" for nametoaddr_libs of "inet" transports. # the next two lines obviate the "+" entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. passwd: files nis group: files nis # consult /etc "files" only if nis is down. hosts: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis networks: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files protocols: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files rpc: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files ethers: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis netmasks: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files bootparams: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis publickey: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files netgroup: nis automount: files nis aliases: files nis # for efficient getservbyname() avoid nis services: files nis sendmailvars: files
Reboot the boot server.
The ChorusOS system image is running on the target.
For information on what to do next, see About ChorusOS 5.0 Documentation, which will guide you to the appropriate information for your task.
This chapter describes how to install ChorusOS for the x86/Pentium processor family. For information on the system requirements and the packages available with x86/Pentium targets, see ChorusOS 5.0 Target Family Guide (Intel Platform Edition).
For the procedure explained in this chapter, you will need a terminal-type serial cable whose wires 2 and 3 are crossed and 7 (ground) is straight.
This section describes the process for building and booting a ChorusOS system image on x86/Pentium targets.

The following procedure assumes that the development environment has already been correctly installed on the host workstation. See Chapter 1, Installing on the Host, for instructions.
Create and change to a build directory where you will build the system image:
$ mkdir build_dir $ cd build_dir |
The file system containing the build_dir directory must be accessble by NFS from the remote ChorusOS target.
Set an environment variable to use with the configure(1CC) command as a shortcut to the base directory.
For example:
$ export DIR=/opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-x86/chorus-x86 |
The PATH must be set correctly to include the directory:
install_dir/chorus-x86/tools/host/bin,
where the default install_dir is /opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-x86.
The PATH environment variable must include /usr/openwin/bin, which contains the imake utility.
Configure the build directory, using the configure(1CC) command:
If you are building from a binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/x86/pc |
The preceding command configures the build directory to include components installed during a "Default Install". This command does not include optional components, such as the X library or code examples, that you may choose to install separately on Solaris host workstations. For example, to include everything in your build environment:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/tools \ $DIR/opt/X11 \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/x86/pc \ $DIR/src/opt/examples |
If you are building the system image from a source distribution, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Source Delivery Guide.
As a result of configuration, build_dir now contains the Makefile, which is used to generate the build environment, and the Paths file, which specifies paths to files required by and created in the build environment.
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
(Optional) Configure the system image:
If you have only PCI Ethernet adapters, skip this step.
ISA Ethernet adapters require that you provide configuration information by setting an ETHER_id environment variable in the system image configuration with a command of the form:
$ configurator -setenv ETHER_id=name,irq,io_base,mem_base |
where:
A decimal value ranging from 0 to 9.
Up to ten ISA Ethernet adapters can be declared using ETHER_0, ETHER_1, ...ETHER_9
The type of the device: EL3, NE2000, or SMC
A decimal value representing the interrupt request level on the ISA bus
A hexadecimal value representing the base for I/O ports, such as 0x300
A hexadecimal value representing the base for shared memory, such as 0xD0000
The memory base parameter is required for SMC Ethernet adapters only.
For example, the following command configures the build environment for one SMC Ethernet adapter with IRQ 9, I/O base at 0x240, and memory base at 0xD0000:
$ configurator -setenv ETHER_0=SMC,9,0x240,0xD0000 |
The following command configures the build environment for a system with both an NE2000 adapter and an EL3 adapter:
$ configurator -setenv ETHER_0=NE2000,5,0x300 $ configurator -setenv ETHER_1=EL3,7,0x300 |
Build the system image:
$ make chorus |
The resulting system image file is located in the build directory, build_dir, and is called chorus.bmon.
You can also make a smaller system image that includes only the operating system microkernel:
$ make kernonly |
Generate the NFS root file system:
$ make root |
This command creates a root directory in the build directory that contains binary and configuration files to be accessed by the target system.
See Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server, for instructions on how to configure the boot server.
Copy the system image to the boot server.
For example, on a Solaris host workstation:
$ rcp chorus.bmon boot_server:/tftpboot |
Verify that everyone has at least read access to the system image on the boot server.
For example:
$ rlogin boot_server Password: password_for_user $ ls -l /tftpboot/chorus.bmon -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 1613824 Dec 15 17:33 chorus.bmon* |
While logged in to the boot server, create a configuration file for the target.
For a target system with IP address 129.157.197.88 using a boot server with IP address 129.157.197.144, the configuration file contains the following:
AUTOBOOT=YES BOOTFILE=chorus.bmon BOOTSERVER=129.157.197.144
The configuration file is named /tftpboot/819DC558.ChorusOS.5.0, which is constructed from the target system IP address 129.157.197.88 as a concatenation of the following:
129 in decimal translates to 81 in hexadecimal
157 in decimal translates to 9D in hexadecimal
197 in decimal translates to C5 in hexadecimal
88 in decimal translates to 58 in hexadecimal
The system first attempts to find the configuration file with the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension. If no such file exists, the system attempts to find a configuration file with the .ChorusOS.4.0 extension.
bootMonitor
DisketteFor details about how bootMonitor works, see bootMonitor(1M).
Create a directory where you will build a bootMonitor image:
$ mkdir bootmon $ cd bootmon |
This directory is different from build_dir, the directory where you build the system image.
Configure the bootmon directory based on the binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/x86/pc \ |
Generate the environment:
$ make |
Edit the special mini profile, bootmon/conf/mini, so that it reads:
# # Mini Profile # # # Microkernel features # -set USER_MODE=false -set POSIX_SHM=false # add manually -set VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACE=false -set SEM=false -set EVENT=false -set MONITOR=false -set TIMER=false -set DATE=false -set RTC=false -set PERF=false -set IPC=false -set MIPC=false -set LAPBIND=true # Change this from 'false' to 'true' -set LAPSAFE=true # Change this from 'false' to 'true' -set MON=false -set LOG=false
Configure the environment for bootMonitor:
$ configurator -p conf/mini $ configurator -set LOADER=lilo $ configurator -setenv BOOTCONF=RARP |
For details about the BOOTCONF environment variable and available options, see the bootConfig(1M) and bootAgent(1M) man pages.
(Optional) Configure the environment for any ISA Ethernet adapters on the target system.
See Step 6 of the procedure "To Build the System Image" for examples on how to configure the environment for different adapters.
Build a bootMonitor image:
$ make bootMonitor |
The resulting image file is located in the directory bootmon, and is called bootMonitor.image.
Copy the bootMonitor image
to a diskette:
$ su Password: superuser_password # /etc/init.d/volmgt stop # fdformat -v /dev/fd0 Formatting 1.44 MB in /dev/rfd0 Press return to start formatting floppy. ................................................... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv # cp bootMonitor.image /dev/fd0 # /etc/init.d/volmgt start volume management starting. # eject /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unlabeled can now be manually ejected # exit |
bootMonitor DisketteShut down the system.
To view console output, connect a serial line from the first serial line port on the target system to the host workstation.
Use a terminal-type serial cable, whose wires 2 and 3 are crossed and 7 (the ground) is straight.
A serial cable in which all wires are parallel does not work.
Add a line to the host workstation /etc/remote file to make it possible to connect through the serial line using the tip(1) utility.
For example:
target_hostname:dv=/dev/cua/a:br#9600
Connect to the target system using the tip(1) utility:
$ tip target_hostname connected |
Place the bootMonitor diskette
in the drive.
Reboot, making sure the BIOS causes the system to boot first from the diskette.
If the system boots correctly, messages similar to the following are displayed on the console in the terminal where you issued the tip(1) command:
RAM size: 0xc48000 bytes
CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU)

Issue a command to the target system.
For example:
$ rsh target_hostname mount root_device on / (pdevfs) devfs on /dev (pdevfs) devfs on /image (pdevfs) /dev/bd00 on /image/sys_bank (msdos) |
The ChorusOS system image is running on the target.
For information on what to do next, see About ChorusOS 5.0 Documentation, which will guide you to the appropriate information for your task.
This chapter describes how to install ChorusOS 5.0 for the PowerPC 750, 74x0, and 8260 processors. For information on the system requirements and the packages available with PowerPC 750/74x0/8260 targets, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Target Family Guide (PowerPC Platform Edition).
The procedures below concern the following target systems:
PowerPC 750/74x0 (MCP750, MCPN750, MCPN765)
PowerPC 8260 (SBC8260)
This chapter includes the following sections:
"Building and Booting a System Image on PowerPC 750/74x0 Target Systems"
"Building and Booting a System Image on PowerPC SBC8260 Target Systems"
This section describes the process for building and booting a ChorusOS system image on PowerPC 750/74x0 targets systems.
This section includes the following:
"Booting the MCP750/74x0 Target System Using PPC1-Bug Firmware"
"Booting the MCP750/74x0 Target System from
Flash Using bootMonitor"
"Flashing the MCP750/74x0 Target System with
the bootMonitor Image"
This section provides an overview of the methods of building and booting a ChorusOS system image on PowerPC 750/74x0 target systems.

The following procedure assumes that the ChorusOS product has already been correctly installed on the host workstation. See Part I, Installing on the Host, for instructions.
Create and change to a build directory where you will build system images:
$ mkdir build_dir $ cd build_dir |
Set an environment variable to use with the configure(1CC) command as a shortcut to the base directory:
$ export DIR=/opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-PowerPC/chorus-powerpc |
The PATH must be set correctly to include the directory:
install_dir/chorus-powerpc/tools/host/bin
where the default install_dir is /opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-PowerPC.
The PATH environment variable must include /usr/openwin/bin, which contains the imake utility.
Configure the build directory, using the configure(1CC) command:
If you are building from a binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mcp7xx |
The above command configures the build directory to include components installed during the "Default Install". This command does not include optional components, such as the X library or code examples, that you decide to install separately on Solaris host workstations. For example, to include everything in your build environment:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/opt/X11 \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mcp7xx \ $DIR/src/opt/examples |
If you are building from the source distribution, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Source Delivery Guide.
As a result of configuration, build_dir contains the Makefile, which generates the build environment, and the Paths file, which specifies paths to files required by and created in the build environment.
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
Build a system image:
$ make chorus |
The resulting system image file is located in the build directory, build_dir, and is called chorus.RAM.
You can also make a smaller system image that includes only the operating system microkernel:
$ make kernonly |
Copy the system image to the boot server.
For example, on a Solaris host workstation:
$ rcp chorus.RAM boot_server:/tftpboot |
Verify that at least read permissions are available for the system image on the boot server.
For example, on a Solaris host workstation:
$ rlogin boot_server Password: password_for_user $ ls -l /tftpboot/chorus.RAM -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 1613824 Dec 15 17:33 chorus.RAM* |
PPC1-Bug FirmwareRestart the target system.

bootMonitor
Configure the ChorusOS system image to be downloaded by bootMonitor:
Place the bootMonitor image on the boot server.
See Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server, for instructions on how to configure the boot server.
Copy the system image to the boot server. For example, on a Solaris host workstation:
$ rcp chorus.RAM.bmon boot_server:/tftpboot/sytem_image_name |
Verify that at least read permissions are available for the system image on the boot server. For example:
$ rlogin boot_server Password: password_for_user $ ls -l /tftpboot/chorus.RAM.bmon -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 1613824 Dec 15 17:33 chorus.RAM.bmon* |
While logged in to the boot server, create a configuration file for the target.
For a target system with IP address 129.157.173.199 using a boot server with IP address 129.157.173.144, the configuration file contains the following:
AUTOBOOT=YES
BOOTFILE=chorus.RAM.bmon
BOOTSERVER=129.157.173.144
The configuration file is named /tftpboot/819DADC7.ChorusOS.5.0, which is constructed from the target system IP address 129.157.173.199 as a concatenation of the following:
129 in decimal translates to 81 in hexadecimal
157 in decimal translates to 9D in hexadecimal
173 in decimal translates to AD in hexadecimal
199 in decimal translates to C7 in hexadecimal
(optional) A .ChorusOS.5.0 extension identifies the release, and is appended to the concatenation of the IP address expressed in hexadecimal.
The system first attempts to find the configuration file with the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension. If no such file exists, the system attempts to find a configuration file without the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension.
Create a bootMonitor image.
See the bootMonitor(1M) man page for details about how bootMonitor works.
Create a build directory where you will build a bootMonitor image:
$ mkdir bootmon $ cd bootmon |
Not that this build directory is different from the directory where you build system images.
Configure the bootmon directory:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mcp7xx |
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
Edit the special /conf/mini profile in the bootmon directory so that it reads:
#
# Mini Profile
#
# Microkernel features
#
-set USER_MODE=false
-set POSIX_SHM=false
-set VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACE=false
-set SEM=false
-set EVENT=false
-set MONITOR=false
-set TIMER=false
-set DATE=false
-set RTC=false
-set PERF=false
-set IPC=false
-set MIPC=false
-set LAPBIND=true # must be 'true'
-set LAPSAFE=true # must be 'true'
-set MON=false
-set LOG=false
-set DEBUG_SYSTEM=false
-set SOLARIS_SYSEVENT=false
This is file is slightly different from the default mini file.
Configure the build environment for bootMonitor:
$ configurator -p conf/mini $ configurator -set BOOT_MODE=ROM $ configurator -set LOADER=ppc1-bug $ configurator -setenv BOOTCONF=RARP |
For details about the BOOTCONF environment variable and available options, see the bootConfig(1M) and bootAgent(1M) man pages.
Build a bootMonitor image:
$ make bootMonitor |
The resulting image file is located in the build directory, bootmon and is called bootMonitor.ROM.
bootMonitor ImageSee Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server, for instructions on how to configure the boot server.
Copy the system image to the boot server.
For example, on a Solaris host workstation:
$ rcp bootMonitor.ROM boot_server:/tftpboot/ |
Check that you booted the target from the standard PPC-bug bank (B).
On the console output during the boot:

Boot new system image ...
..... Booting Chorus .....
|
The ChorusOS system image is running on the target.
For information on what to do next, see About ChorusOS 5.0 Documentation, which will guide you to the appropriate information for your task.
You can install ChorusOS on a SBC8260 target using one of the following methods:
This section provides an overview of the ways of building and booting a ChorusOS system image on SBC8260 targets in the form of a flowchart.

visionXD ToolFor the following procedures, it is assumed that you use the visionXD tool either to boot the target system
or to place the bootMonitor image
in flash memory on the target system. The URL for the visionXD tool is: http://www.windriver.com/products/html/vxd.html
For simplicity, it would help if the visionXD tool is installed on the host.
The following procedure assumes that the ChorusOS product has already been correctly installed on the host workstation. See Part I, Installing on the Host.
Create and change to a build directory where you will build system images:
$ mkdir build_dir $ cd build_dir |
Set an environment variable to use with the configure(1CC) command as a shortcut to the base directory.
For example:
$ export DIR=/opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-PowerPC/chorus-powerpc |
The PATH environment variable must be set correctly to include the directory:
install_dir/chorus-powerpc/tools/host/bin
where the default install_dir is /opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-PowerPC.
The PATH environment variable must include /usr/openwin/bin, which contains the imake utility.
Configure the build directory, using the configure(1CC) command:
If you are building from a binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/sbc8260 |
The above command configures the build directory to include components installed during a "Default Install". It does not include optional components, such as the X library or code examples, that you decide to install separately on Solaris host workstations. For example, in order to include everything in your build environment:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/opt/X11 \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/sbc8260 \ $DIR/src/opt/examples |
If you are building from the source distribution, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Source Delivery Guide.
As a result of configuration, build_dir now contains the Makefile, which generates the build environment, and the Paths file, which specifies paths to files required by, and created in, the build environment.
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
$ configurator -set ETHER_ADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx |
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the target system Ethernet address.
Build a system image:
$ make chorus |
The resulting system image file is located in the build directory, build_dir, and is called chorus.RAM.
You can also make a smaller system image that includes only the operating system microkernel:
$ make kernonly |
See the Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server, for instructions on how to configure the boot server.
Copy the system image to the boot server.
For example, on a Solaris host workstation:
$ rcp chorus.RAM boot_server:/tftpboot |
Verify that at least read permissions are available for the system image on the boot server.
For example:
$ rlogin boot_server Password: password_for_user $ ls -l /tftpboot/chorus.RAM -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 1613824 Dec 15 17:33 chorus.RAM* |
(Optional) While logged in to the boot server, create a configuration file for the target.
For a target system with IP address 129.157.173.199 using a boot server with IP address 129.157.173.144, the configuration file contains the following:
AUTOBOOT=YES BOOTFILE=chorus.RAM BOOTSERVER=129.157.173.144
The configuration file is named /tftpboot/819DADC7.ChorusOS.5.0, which is constructed from the target system IP address 129.157.173.199 as a concatenation of the following:
129 in decimal translates to 81 in hexadecimal.
157 in decimal translates to 9D in hexadecimal.
173 in decimal translates to AD in hexadecimal.
199 in decimal translates to C7 in hexadecimal.
(optional) A .ChorusOS.5.0 extension identifies the release, and is appended to the concatenation of the IP address expressed in hexadecimal.
The system first looks for the configuration file with the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension. If no such file exists, the system looks for a configuration file without the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension.
visionXD
and visionICE ToolsSee the visionXD and visionICE documentation for detailed installation
instructions.
Connect visionICE to the
target system, plugging the transceiver into the MII connector and switching
the transceiver to UP.
Connect the target system to the network.
Install the visionXD tool
on the host workstation.
Select Configure Global Settings... from the Tasks menu, and use the dialog box displayed to configure the connection to the target system.
visionXD ToolStart the visionXD tool.
Select Connect from the Target menu to connect the visionXD tool to the target system.
Click the terminal button to display a terminal window with the BKM prompt.
Enter in at the BKM prompt to set initialization values for the target system registers:
>BKM> in |
Select Load Executable... from the File menu.
Select the chorus.RAM system image and click Load.
After the target system has finished downloading the system image, click Run.
bootMonitor
The following procedures describe how to build and boot a ChorusOS system
using bootMonitor.
bootMonitor
ImageSee bootMonitor(1M), bootConfig(1M), and bootAgent(1M)
for details about how bootMonitor
works.
Create a build directory where you will build a bootMonitor image:
$ mkdir bootmon $ cd bootmon |
Note that this build directory is different from the directory where you build system images.
Configure the bootmon directory based on the binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/sbc8260 |
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
Edit the special bootmon/conf/mini profile so that it reads:
# # Mini Profile # # # Microkernel features # -set USER_MODE=false -set VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACE=false -set SEM=false -set EVENT=false -set MONITOR=false -set TIMER=false -set DATE=false -set RTC=false -set PERF=false -set IPC=false -set MIPC=false -set LAPBIND=true # Change this from 'false' to 'true' -set LAPSAFE=true # Change this from 'false' to 'true' -set MON=false -set LOG=false
Configure the
build environment for bootMonitor:
$ configurator -p conf/mini $ configurator -set BOOT_MODE=ROM $ configurator -set ETHER_ADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx $ configurator -setenv BOOTCONF=RARP |
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the target system Ethernet address.
For details about the BOOTCONF environment variable and available options, see the bootConfig(1M) and bootAgent(1M) man pages.
Build a bootMonitor image:
$ make bootMonitor |
The resulting image file is located in the build directory, bootmon, and is called bootMonitor.ROM.
bootMonitor
Image in the Flash SIMMThe SBC8260 target system provides two flash devices:
A LOCAL flash device which should be 2MB in size and organized as:
AMD 29F016 (2048x8) 1 device (integrated on board)
A SIMM flash device which should be 4MB in size and organized as:
AMD 29F080 (1024x8) 4 devices (plugged in a socket, thus removable)
SBC8260 can boot from either flash device depending on the configuration of jumper-24:
If JP-24 is 1-2 and 3-4, CS0 selects the Flash SIMM, and the board will boot from the Flash SIMM
If JP-24 is 1-3 and 2-4, CS0 selects the LOCAL Flash, and the board will boot from the LOCAL Flash
To boot from one of the two flash devices, the appropriate configuration word must be stored at the beginning of that device. Refer to the section "Reset Configuration", of the SBC8260 Hardware Reference Manual for the procedure to restore the configuration word in any of the two flash devices. You can use the following command:
BKM> SY RSTCONF configuration_word port_size |
where the port_size is 8 for the LOCAL Flash and 32 for the Flash SIMM.
The visionXD emulator
cannot "get" the state of the target by itself, after some registers
have been modified by running ChorusOS. Typically, the IMMR value and memory
translations set by ChorusOS are not automatically supported by visionXD.
Therefore, the register contents of the emulator and the target must be synchronized.
Enter the following commands in the Terminal window when starting a session with the emulator:
>BKM> sc default >BKM> in |
The preceding commands restore and set the registers to their default values.
It should also be noted that after these commands are executed, the boot flash device selected by JP-24 is visible at address 0xfe000000 causing the configuration word to be visible at this address (one byte at each double-word boundary).
The following example is for AMD 29F080 (1024x8) 4 devices Flash type.
Verify JP-24 is 1-2 and 3-4 (CS0 selects Flash SIMM).
Reset the target and the emulator.
Start visionXD and connect
to the target (Target > Connect).
If at this point the emulator is always in error and cannot connect to the target, you certainly erased the configuration word. Perform the procedure to restore the configuration word, described in the section "Reset Configuration" of the SBC8260 Hardware Reference Manual. Reset the target and the emulator and then try again.
Open a terminal window (Tasks > Terminal)
In the terminal window enter:
>BKM> sc default >BKM> in |
Configure the CS0 for 32 bits wide:
Program the flash (Tasks > Program Flash) with the following configuration:
Name : bootmon/bootMonitor.ROM Device(s) : AMD 29F080 (1024x8) 4 devices Start address: 0xfff00000 End address : 0xffffffff
This will convert the bootMonitor.ROM (built in
the procedure "To Create a bootMonitor
Image") into a bootMonitor.bin file.
Then click Erase and Program to write the bootMonitor image to flash memory.
Click Extract in the dialog box that is displayed.
Click OK to confirm the download into flash memory.
Restart the target system to boot from flash memory.
The ChorusOS system image is running on the target.
For information on what to do next, see About ChorusOS 5.0 Documentation, which will guide you to the appropriate information for your task.
This chapter describes how to install ChorusOS 5.0 for the MPC8xx processor family. For information on the system requirements and the packages available with MPC8xx targets, see ChorusOS 5.0 Target Family Guide (MPC8XX Platform Edition).
Use one of the following methods to install ChorusOS on an MPC8xx target:
This section describes the process for building and booting a ChorusOS system image on MPC8xx targets.

mpc8bug
Host DebuggerThe following procedure assumes that the ChorusOS product has already been correctly installed on the host workstation. See Chapter 1, Installing on the Host, for instructions.
For simplicity, it would help if the mpc8bug tool is installed on the host.
Create and change to a build directory where you will build system images:
$ mkdir build_dir $ cd build_dir |
The file system containing the build_dir directory must be accessible by NFS from the remote ChorusOS target.
Set an environment variable to use with the configure(1CC) command as a shortcut to the base directory.
For example:
$ export DIR=/opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-MPC8xx/chorus-mpc8xx |
The PATH environment variable must be set correctly to include the directory:
install_dir/chorus-mpc8xx/tools/host/bin
where the default install_dir is /opt/SUNWconn/SEW/5.0-MPC8xx.
The PATH environment variable must include /usr/openwin/bin, which contains the imake utility.
Configure the build directory, using the configure(1CC) command:
If you are building from a binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mpc8xxADS \ |
The preceding command configures the build directory to include components installed during a "Default Install". It does not include optional components, such as the X library or code examples, that you decide to install separately on Solaris host workstations. For example, to include everything in your build environment:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ $DIR/os \ $DIR/opt/X11 \ $DIR/tools \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mpc8xxADS $DIR/src/opt/examples |
If you are building the system image from a source distribution, see the ChorusOS 5.0 Source Delivery Guide.
As a result of configuration, build_dir now contains the Makefile, which generates the build environment, and the Paths file, which specifies paths to files required by, and created in, the build environment.
Generate the build environment:
$ make |
$ configurator -set ETHER_ADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx |
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the target system Ethernet address.
Build the system image:
$ make chorus |
The resulting system image file is located in the build directory, build_dir, and is called chorus.RAM.
You can also make a smaller system image that includes only the operating system microkernel:
$ make kernonly |
Generate the NFS root file system:
$ make root |
This command creates a root directory in the build directory. The root directory contains binary and configuration files that are accessed by the target system.
See Chapter 5, Setting Up a Boot Server, for instructions on how to configure the boot server.
Copy the system image to the boot server. For example:
$ rcp chorus.RAM boot_server:/tftpboot |
Verify that everyone has at least read access to the system image on the boot server.
For example:
$ rlogin boot_server Password: password_for_user $ ls -l /tftpboot/chorus.RAM -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 1613824 Dec 15 17:33 chorus.RAM* |
(Optional) While logged in to the boot server, create a configuration file for the target.
For a target system with IP address 129.157.173.199 using a boot server with IP address 129.157.173.144, the configuration file contains the following:
AUTOBOOT=YES BOOTFILE=chorus.RAM BOOTSERVER=129.157.173.144
The configuration file is named /tftpboot/819DADC7.ChorusOS.5.0, which is constructed from the target system IP address 129.157.173.199 as a concatenation of the following:
129 in decimal translates to 81 in hexadecimal.
157 in decimal translates to 9D in hexadecimal.
173 in decimal translates to AD in hexadecimal.
199 in decimal translates to C7 in hexadecimal.
(optional) A .ChorusOS.5.0 extension identifies the release, and is appended to the concatenation of the IP address expressed in hexadecimal.
The system first attempts to find the configuration file with the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension. If it fails to find one, however, it attempts to find a configuration file without the .ChorusOS.5.0 extension.
mpc8bug
Host DebuggerThe following procedure concerns MPC8xx[F]ADS reference target boards.
Install Motorola's ADI host debugger (mpc8bug) on the boot host.
The MPC8XX ADS Software (MPC8bug version 1.5)
package contains the mpc8bug monitoring tool, configuration
files for all reference targets, and documentation explaining how to install
and use the tool. This package is provided with the hardware.
For details about installation, see the mpc8bug installation manual.
Append a ChorusOS load macro to the .mpctcl.cfg configuration file.
The following TCL
macro should be appended at the end of the .mpctcl.cfg
file that is provided as part of the mpc8bug package:
a chload reset :h \; load \$1 \; rms der decie 0 \; rms der extie 0 \; rms der prie 0 \; rms der sysie 0 \; rms der trie 0 \; rms der mcie 0 \; rms der itlbmse 0 \; rms der dtlbmse 0 \; rms der itlbere 0 \; rms der dtlbere 0 \; go
The preceding rms der xx 0 commands allow the ChorusOS microkernel to handle the corresponding exceptions.
Connect the host ADI and target debug ports.
The MPC8xx[F]ADS board must be installed and configured to operate in Host Controlled configuration mode by way of its ADI port. Therefore, you must plug an ADI board into one of the SBus or ISA slots of the boot host and connect to the MPC8xx[F]ADS through a 37-pin flat cable.
For details about installing the ADI board and configuring the target to boot from the Debug port, see the section "Installation Instructions" in the MPC8xx[F]ADS User's Manual.
After this is done, you can now start the mpc8bug monitor utility on the boot host.
Connect the RS32 ports of the target system and of the boot system.
Connect the target system RS232 port on SMC1 to the boot system serial port for the ChorusOS debug agent link and system console.
Restart the target system.
Start the mpc8bug monitor:
$ mpc8bug ADI ADS |
ADI is the number, from 0 through 3, of the SBus expansion slot for the ADI board on the UltraSPARC host system, or the address of the ADI card divided by 0x100 for a PC/AT host.
ADS is the ADI address, from 0 through 3, of the MPC8xx[F]ADS target board, as determined by the ADDR switches on the DS1 Dip-Switch of the MPC8xx[F]ADS board.
When started, the mpc8bug
monitor automatically executes the commands included in the configuration
files:

bootMonitor
To boot the target from flash memory using bootMonitor, perform the following procedures.
bootMonitor
ImageFor details about how bootMonitor
works, see bootMonitor(1M).
Build a ChorusOS system image. See Building the System Image.
Create a directory where you will build a bootMonitor image:
$ mkdir bootmon $ cd bootmon |
This directory is different from build_dir, the directory where you build system images.
Configure the bootmon directory based on the binary distribution:
$ configure -b $DIR/kernel \ -s $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp \ $DIR/src/nucleus/bsp/powerpc/mcp8xxADS \ |
Generate the environment:
$ make |
Edit the special bootmon/conf/mini profile so that it reads:
# # Mini Profile # # # Microkernel features # -set USER_MODE=false -set VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_SPACE=false -set SEM=false -set EVENT=false -set MONITOR=false -set TIMER=false -set DATE=false -set RTC=false -set PERF=false -set IPC=false -set MIPC=false -set LAPBIND=true # Change this from 'false' to 'true' -set LAPSAFE=true # Change this from 'false' to 'true' -set MON=false -set LOG=false
Configure the
environment for bootMonitor:
$ configurator -p conf/mini $ configurator -set BOOT_MODE=ROM $ configurator -set ETHER_ADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx $ configurator -setenv BOOTCONF=RARP |
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the target system Ethernet address.
For details about the BOOTCONF environment variable and available options, see the bootConfig(1M) and bootAgent(1M) man pages.
Build a bootMonitor image:
$ make bootMonitor |
The resulting image file is located in the bootmon directory, and is called bootMonitor.ROM.
bootMonitor ImageRestart the target system.
Start the mpc8bug tool.
See Step 6 for details.
Use the loadf command to flash the bootMonitor:
f860Bug> reset :h ; loadf full_path/bootMonitor.ROM 0x100000 Initializing memory controller and UPM for 50MHZ DRAM delay set to 60ns DRAM size set to 4Mbytes loadf: Loading ELF file . . .
