QFW Bootmeth
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
`QEMU <hhttps://www.qemu.org/>`_ is a system emulator which is able to boot
|
|
Operating Systems. QEMU provides specific support for booting an OS image
|
|
provided on the QEMU command line.
|
|
|
|
When invoked on a bootdev for UCLASS_QFW, this bootmeth reads the kernel
|
|
provided by the QEMU `-kernel` argument, the initial ramdisk provided by
|
|
`-initrd` and the boot arguments (command line) provided by `-append` into
|
|
memory ready for booting.
|
|
|
|
When the bootflow is booted, the bootmeth tries the `booti` command first, then
|
|
falls back to the `bootz` command. U-Boot's 'control' devicetree is passed
|
|
through to the kernel.
|
|
|
|
The compatible string "u-boot,qfw-bootmeth" is used for the driver. It is
|
|
present if `CONFIG_QFW` is enabled.
