How to Boot Linux From Network File System

To boot Linux from NFS, users should put the kernel image and dtb file in /tftpboot directory and put the filesystem in HOST UBUNTU.

Filesystem Setup

Generate the Filesystem for NFS boot

ADI provides two kinds of images to allow users to boot from NFS.

  • adsp-sc5xx-full
  • adsp-sc5xx-minimal

The minimal image is a subset of the full image which has less packages than full image. There is no difference for the Linux kernel in the minimal and full image.

Run “bitbake <TARGET>” to generate the images you want. 

$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-full

or 

$ bitbake adsp-sc5xx-minimal

If you want to compile and deploy the images at your second time, run the command “bitbake <TARGET> -C compile”.
If you want to add packages to filesystem, you could add package to IMAGE_INSTALL_append = “<PACKAGE_NAME>“ in build/conf/local.conf file.


Setting Up NFS Server

First follow the section Setting Up NFS Server in Setting Up The Host to set up the nfs server in HOST Ubuntu.


Unzip Filesystem to NFS root Directory

Second unzip the filesystem tar image in deploy directory to NFS root diretory. 

$ cd build/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE>/
$ sudo tar -xf <FULL_FS_IMAGE/MINIMAL_FS_IMAGE> -C /romfs
$ ls /romfs
bin  boot  dev  etc  home  lib  media  mnt  opt  proc  run  sbin  sys  tmp  usr  var  www

See the Appendix at the bottom of this page to expand the <MACHINE> and <FULL_FS_IMAGE>or <MINIMAL_FS_IMAGE>.


Copy zImage and dtb File

The kernel image zImage and dtb file are loaded to target board through TFTP, first you should copy them to tftpboot directory. 

$ cp build/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE>/zImage /tftpboot
$ cp build/tmp/deploy/images/<MACHINE>/<DTB_FILE> /tftpboot


Boot Linux From NFS

Boot into U-boot and then run the command ”run nfsboot”:

Net:   dwmac.3100c000                                                                                                      
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0                                                                                           
sc # run nfsboot

The linux kernel would then boot up and the file system stored in HOST Ubuntu is mounted via NFS.

The default username is root and the password is adi.


Trouble Shooting

If the kernel stuck in the below and cannot enter into the login console, it should be a problem related with NFS server setup, you should run the above section “Setting Up NFS Server” again.
