This is Slim Bootloader architectural design to make a +payload light-weight, platform independent and more generic across different +boot solutions or payloads, and to minimize hardware re-initialization in a +payload. + +Build Instruction for U-Boot as a Slim Bootloader payload +--------------------------------------------------------- + +Build U-Boot and obtain u-boot-dtb.bin:: + + $ make distclean + $ make slimbootloader_defconfig + $ make all + +Prepare Slim Bootloader +----------------------- + +1. Setup Build Environment for Slim Bootloader. + + Refer to `Getting Started`_ page in `Slim Bootloader`_ document site. + +2. Get source code. Let's simply clone the repo:: + + $ git clone https://github.com/slimbootloader/slimbootloader.git + +3. Copy u-boot-dtb.bin to Slim Bootloader. + Slim Bootloader looks for a payload from the specific location. + Copy the build u-boot-dtb.bin to the expected location:: + + $ mkdir -p <Slim Bootloader Dir>/PayloadPkg/PayloadBins/ + $ cp <U-Boot Dir>/u-boot-dtb.bin <Slim Bootloader Dir>/PayloadPkg/PayloadBins/u-boot-dtb.bin + +Build Instruction for Slim Bootloader for QEMU target +----------------------------------------------------- + +Slim Bootloader supports multiple payloads, and a board of Slim Bootloader +detects its target payload by PayloadId in board configuration. +The PayloadId can be any 4 Bytes value. + +1. Update PayloadId. Let's use 'U-BT' as an example:: + + $ vi Platform/QemuBoardPkg/CfgData/CfgDataExt_Brd1.dlt + -GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'AUTO' + +GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId | 'U-BT' + +2. Update payload text base. PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE must be the same as U-Boot + CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE in board/intel/slimbootloader/Kconfig. + PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH must be 0:: + + $ vi Platform/QemuBoardPkg/BoardConfig.py + + self.PAYLOAD_LOAD_HIGH = 0 + + self.PAYLOAD_EXE_BASE = 0x00100000 + +3. Build QEMU target. Make sure u-boot-dtb.bin and U-BT PayloadId + in build command. The output is Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin:: + + $ python BuildLoader.py build qemu -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;u-boot-dtb.bin:U-BT:Lzma" + +4.
