Tutorial 06 - UART Chainloader
tl;dr
- Running from an SD card was a nice experience, but it would be extremely tedious to do it for every new binary. So let's write a chainloader.
- This will be the last binary you need to put on the SD card. Each following tutorial will provide
a
chainboottarget in theMakefilethat lets you conveniently load the kernel overUART.
Note
Please note that there is stuff going on in this tutorial that is very hard to grasp by only looking at the source code changes.
The gist of it is that in boot.s, we are writing a piece of position independent code which
automatically determines where the firmware has loaded the binary (0x8_0000), and where it was
linked to (0x200_0000, see link.ld). The binary then copies itself from loaded to linked address
(aka "relocating" itself), and then jumps to the relocated version of _start_rust().
Since the chainloader has put itself "out of the way" now, it can now receive another kernel binary
from the UART and copy it to the standard load address of the RPi firmware at 0x8_0000. Finally,
it jumps to 0x8_0000 and the newly loaded binary transparently executes as if it had been loaded
from SD card all along.
Please bear with me until I find the time to write it all down here elaborately. For the time being, please see this tutorial as an enabler for a convenience feature that allows booting the following tutorials in a quick manner.
Install and test it
Our chainloader is called MiniLoad and is inspired by raspbootin.
You can try it with this tutorial already:
- Depending on your target hardware, run:
makeorBSP=rpi4 make. - Copy
kernel8.imgto the SD card and put the SD card back into your RPi. - Run
make chainbootorBSP=rpi4 make chainboot. - Connect the USB serial to your host PC.
- Wiring diagram at top-level README.
- Make sure that you DID NOT connect the power pin of the USB serial. Only RX/TX and GND.
- Connect the RPi to the (USB) power cable.
- Observe the loader fetching a kernel over
UART:
❗ NOTE:
make chainbootassumes a default serial device name of/dev/ttyUSB0. Depending on your host operating system, the device name might differ. For example, onmacOS, it might be something like/dev/tty.usbserial-0001. In this case, please give the name explicitly:
$ DEV_SERIAL=/dev/tty.usbserial-0001 make chainboot
$ make chainboot
[...]

In this tutorial, a version of the kernel from the previous tutorial is loaded for demo purposes. In subsequent tutorials, it will be the working directory's kernel.
Test it
The Makefile in this tutorial has an additional target, qemuasm, that lets you nicely observe
how the kernel, after relocating itself, jumps the load address region (0x80_XXX) to the relocated
code at (0x0200_0XXX):
$ make qemuasm
