I see this benefiting real hardware targets in a lab scenario. Some use cases: 1) NFS on local build system 2) NFS on shared file system 3) NFS on remote system 4) NFS using native NFS server like nfs-genesha 4) NFS via SDK/eSDK 82071 1 richard.purdie 2018-11-08 15:42:00 +0000 One of the existing manual test which could be automated: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/lib/oeqa/manual/sdk.json 82556 2 akuster 2018-12-20 16:34:52 +0000 Looking at this from NFS side quickly caused a too many scenarios so I started from the Machine side. I have a few u-boot based arm boards that can now boot from mmc or over nfs. I now need to add tftp and/or pxe boot support for the kernel. 83058 3 akuster 2019-02-21 15:08:24 +0000 Well here is what I have done so far and where I went a bit mental. I a doing all my work in a BSP I maintain. NFS: https://github.com/akuster/meta-odroid/blob/master-next/classes/image_types_nfs.bbclass # NFS_LOCATION: # local: NFS mount on this machine # remote: NFS exported from a remote system not mounted on this system # # NFS_EXPORT_DIR - location where to copy things to # NFS_SERVERIP - your remote NFS server host # NFS_SERVERIP_USER - User account on remote NFS server # NFS_SERVERIP_PSWDFILE - Password used for NFS_SERVERIP_USER on NFS_SERVERIP # NFS_MACHINE_NAME - main filename used as the common mounted dir from machine # # NFS_DEST_DIR - Name of where new builds are copied too. # # SSHPASS - where to find the sshpass binary, defaults to the systme one It uses NFS_EXPORT_DIR/NFS_MACHINE_NAME to be symlinked your last build image that is copied over to where NFS is being hosted. I have not done the NATIVE which should be what we have now with QEMU. I went mental here: NETBOOT: Basic same idea for local and remote as above. I need to doc it and currently is supports TFTP. 83059 4 akuster 2019-02-21 15:11:37 +0000 I also have some u-boot glue, I have had u-boot env config class. If one configs TFTP and NFS U-boot parms , it will create the correct values so that u-boot will tftp the kernel and nfs mount the right rootfs. https://github.com/akuster/meta-odroid/blob/master-next/classes/uboot-boot-scr.bbclass # UBOOT_FDT_FILE: default device tree. e.g., "KERNEL_DEVICETREE" # # UBOOT_FDT_LOADADDR: default Device tree load address, e.g., "0x01000000" # # UBOOT_INITRD_NAME: default initrd image name, e.g., "uInitrd" # # UBOOT_INITRD_ADDR: default initrd image load address, e.g., "0x2000000" # # UBOOT_CONSOLE: default console, e.g., "ttyttySAC2,115200" # # UBOOT_LOAD_CMD: default partition, e.g., "load" # # UBOOT_BOOTARGS: # # UBOOT_BOOTDEV: default boot device # # # UBOOT_BOOTPART: default boot partition # # # UBOOT_BOOTTYPE: default mmc # # UBOOT_ROOTDEV: default root device # # # UBOOT_ROOTPART: default root device # # # UBOOT_ROOTTYPE: default mmcblk1p # # UBOOT_FILE_TITLE: default partition, e.g., "UBOOT-CONFIG" # # UBOOT_EXTRA_ENV: default add extra env vars , e.g., "vout,'vga'" 83060 5 akuster 2019-02-21 15:12:39 +0000 I also added a power-controller class to power cycle a network powered device. https://github.com/akuster/meta-odroid/blob/master-next/classes/power-contoller.bbclass needs more doc. 83061 6 akuster 2019-02-21 15:15:56 +0000 example local.conf NETBOOT = "tftp" UBOOT_NETBOOT = "tftp" NETBOOT_DIR = "/tftpboot/" NETBOOT_LOCATION = "remote" NETBOOT_SERVERIP ="192.168.9.51" NETBOOT_RUSER ="akuster" NETBOOT_PSWDFILE = "/home/akuster/tftpboot/.pswd" NFS_ROOT = "/srv/oe/" UBOOT_IPADDR_odroid-c2 ="192.168.9.20" UBOOT_ETHADDR_odroid-c2 = "42:ae:30:69:fa:c8" UBOOT_SERVERIP ="192.168.9.51" UBOOT_GATEWATIP = "192.168.9.1" UBOOT_NETMASK ="255.255.255.000" UBOOT_BOOT_TYPE = " nfs" NFS_LOCATION = "remote" NFS_EXPORT_DIR = "/srv/oe/" IMAGE_FSTYPES_append = " nfs" NFS_SERVERIP ="192.168.9.51" NFS_SERVERIP_PSWDFILE = "/home/akuster/tftpboot/.pswd" NFS_SERVERIP_USER ="akuster" INHERIT += "power-contoller" PWR_CNTL_NODE_odroid-c2 ?= "p61" PWR_CNTL_TYPE = "ipower" PWR_CNTL_SERVER_IP_ipower = "192.168.9.30" PWR_CNTL_CMD_ipower = "wget -O/dev/null -q --http-user=admin --http-password=12345678 " NETBOOT_AUTO = "1" 87049 7 randy.macleod 2020-04-16 13:15:41 +0000 Armin said in email that this should be 3.2M3. 89652 8 randy.macleod 2021-03-18 15:04:35 +0000 3.3 development is closed, move to 3.4 97128 9 randy.macleod 2023-10-30 15:37:28 +0000 Build move to 5.0 -- ../Randy 98848 10 randy.macleod 2024-04-25 01:13:57 +0000 Bulk move of 5.0 medium importance issues to 5.99.
