This is a small utility designed to be run on the ASPEED BMC used in
|
||
|
|
some OpenPower systems. It allows you to boot the P8 host from the
|
||
|
|
main system memory of the BMC rather than from the flash memory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is mainly useful for firmware development as it makes it possible
|
||
|
|
to try new firmware images without first having to write the new image
|
||
|
|
to flash memory which can be a lengthy process.

CC=<arm toolchain> make

|
Usage:
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./memboot <flash image> - Will cause the P8 host to boot from BMC
|
||
|
|
system memory at next power on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./memboot - Will boot the system from flash memory at next
|
||
|
|
power on.
