Design

A number of changes is required to build the kernel using the Emcraft 'projects' framework. Some of them were ported from the Emcraft 4.5 kernel:

  1. Support uncompressed kernel feature (CONFIG_KERNEL_COMPRESS_NONE)
  2. Create vmlinux.lds.S.good backup file
  3. Create the initramfs-list-min.stub file. We need it in order to build a stub initramfs, so as to complete a kernel build successfully, before we can run build and installation of kernel modules.
  4. Set UIMAGE_LOADADDR from .config
  5. Correct UIMAGE_ENTRYADDR for thumb2-only kernel
  6. Restore UIMAGE_IN env variable to pass the uImage data files from the Emcraft 'project' build procedure (it was removed from the mainline kernel some time ago)

Test

  1. On the Linux host, activate the build environment:
$ . ACTIVATE.sh
  1. Build the rootfs project:
$ cd projects/rootfs
$ make
...
$ ls -l rootfs.uImage
-rw-rw-r--. 1 sasha_d sasha_d 4950317 May 24 16:29 rootfs.uImage
$
  1. Copy the rootfs.uImage file to the TFTP server.
  2. Boot the kernel image over Ethernet and verify that the kernel and the command shell starts successfully:
STM32H7-SOM U-Boot > setenv image stm32h7/rootfs.uImage
STM32H7-SOM U-Boot > run netboot
ethernet@40028000 Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete. done
