PROGRAM:

NAME


kwboot - Boot Marvell Kirkwood SoCs over a serial link.

SYNOPSIS


kwboot [-b image] [-p] [-t] [-B baudrate] TTY

DESCRIPTION


The mkimage program boots boards based on Marvell's Kirkwood platform over their
integrated UART. Boot image files will typically contain a second stage boot loader, such
as U-Boot. The image file must conform to Marvell's BootROM firmware image format
(kwbimage), created using a tool such as mkimage.

Following power-up or a system reset, system BootROM code polls the UART for a brief
period of time, sensing a handshake message which initiates an image upload. This program
sends this boot message until it receives a positive acknowledgement. The image is
transfered using Xmodem.

Additionally, this program implements a minimal terminal mode, which can be used either
standalone, or entered immediately following boot image transfer completion. This is often
useful to catch early boot messages, or to manually interrupt a default boot procedure
performed by the second-stage loader.

OPTIONS


-b image
Handshake; then upload file image over TTY.

Note that for the encapsulated boot code to be executed, image must be of type
"UART boot" (0x69). Boot images of different types, such as backup images of vendor
firmware downloaded from flash memory (type 0x8B), will not work (or not as
expected). See -p for a workaround.

This mode writes handshake status and upload progress indication to stdout.

-p In combination with -b, patches the header in image prior to upload, to "UART boot"
type.

This option attempts on-the-fly conversion of some none-UART image types, such as
images which were originally formatted to be stored in flash memory.

Conversion is performed in memory. The contents of image will not be altered.

-t Run a terminal program, connecting standard input and output to TTY.

If used in combination with -b, terminal mode is entered immediately following a
successful image upload.

If standard I/O streams connect to a console, this mode will terminate after
receiving 'ctrl-\' followed by 'c' from console input.

-B baudrate
Adjust the baud rate on TTY. Default rate is 115200.
