#U BOOT CONSOLE HOW TO#

Some patches will appear in his work-in-progress repository before they get upstream. Stephen Warren works on RPi support in mainline U-Boot. Git checkout -b your_branch_name u-boot/master To add this repository to an existing local repository: To download this repository into a new local repository (this is what you want if you don't know better): USB Ethernet devices are typically high-speed and hence work, and USB keyboards are typically low-/full-speed devices and hence do not currently work. USB low-/full-speed (USB 1.0) devices do not currently work. This version supports the UART (serial port), SD card, HDMI display, and USB high-speed devices. At this point in time, you should expect to use this repository for all purposes. The primary repository for U-Boot is git:///u-boot.git master branch. The only exception is if you're actively collaborating with another developer on a specific feature. You will to download the source from one of the locations below pick one, and ignore the others.Īt this point in time, mainline U-Boot is recommended for all purposes all features should be present in mainline U-Boot now.

Various forks of U-Boot contain (different levels of) support for the Raspberry Pi.

#U BOOT CONSOLE HOW TO#

This page explains how to get U-Boot working on the RPi, and explains how to boot images off both the SD card and over TFTP from the network. If you wish to run an upstream kernel, booting it via U-Boot is recommended. U-Boot can be used on the RPi to add flexibility by allowing other boot configurations to be used on top of the single specified file on the SD card. Programming - programming languages that might be used on the Raspberry Pi.ĭas U-Boot, often abbreviated to just U-Boot, is a bootloader commonly used on embedded systems.

Performance - measures of the Raspberry Pi's performance. Kernel Compilation - advice on compiling a kernel. 2.2 Stephen Warren's work-in-progress branchĭistributions - operating systems and development environments for the Raspberry Pi.
