SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+: + +booti command +============= + +Synopsis +-------- + +:: + + booti [<addr> [<initrd>[:<size>]] [<fdt>]] + +Description +----------- + +The booti command is used to boot a Linux kernel in flat or compressed +'Image' format. Which compressed formats are supported is configurable. + +addr + address of kernel image, defaults to CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR. + +initrd + address of the initial RAM disk. Use '-' to boot a kernel with a device + tree but without an initial RAM disk. + +size + size of the initial RAM disk. This parameter must be specified for raw + initial RAM disks. + +fdt + address of the device tree. + +To support compressed Image files the following environment variables must be +set: + +kernel_comp_addr_r + start of memory area used for decompression + +kernel_comp_size + size of the compressed file. The value has to be at least the size of + loaded image for decompression to succeed. For the booti command the + maximum decompressed size is 10 times this value. + +Example +------- + +This is the boot log of an Odroid C2 board: + +:: + + => load mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr_r dtb-5.10.0-3-arm64 + 27530 bytes read in 7 ms (3.7 MiB/s) + => load mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr_r vmlinuz-5.10.0-3-arm64 + 26990448 bytes read in 1175 ms (21.9 MiB/s) + => load mmc 0:1 $ramdisk_addr_r initrd.img-5.10.0-3-arm64 + 27421776 bytes read in 1209 ms (21.6 MiB/s) + => booti $kernel_addr_r $ramdisk_addr_r:$filesize $fdt_addr_r + Moving Image from 0x8080000 to 0x8200000, end=9c60000 + ## Flattened Device Tree blob at 08008000 + Booting using the fdt blob at 0x8008000 + Loading Ramdisk to 7a52a000, end 7bf50c50 ...
