b0a0fdcfcc add "standard" module, which includes flashimage kexec & jffs2 
most systems need most of these, so it makes writing the docs a
lot easier

67768004ee erase full flash, it seems to help with jffs2 2023-04-26 22:19:01 +01:00

26c6eac937 delete config boot.tftp.enable as it doesn't enable anything 2023-04-26 22:18:23 +01:00

4cfaed7303 specify root device as /dev/mtdblockn 
the (openwrt?) magic that autodetects it based on mtd labels
won't work with a two-stage boot

6d6dbe1cbb tftpboot: allow padding image with freeSpaceBytes 
this is useful for writable filesystems so that there's more than
an erase block of space to write into

2f3b108ef1 tftpboot: set phram erase block size to match hardware 
this is needed for tftp boot with a jffs2 filesystem

2c4f8b823e remove jffs2boot target 
It's not needed now initramfs is compiled into the kernel.

99af416e14 use /bin/sh for init scripts 2023-04-19 21:41:05 +01:00

5dd0c6e3c0 rewrite preinit as very small C program 
By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k

This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.

b1a89ae8c3 jffs2: squash uids, enable lzo compression 2023-04-15 17:23:58 +01:00
Daniel Barlow
1cc0b13b57 rewrite systemconfig in C and link statically 
systemconfig (a.k.a "activate") is run from the initramfs. Converting
it from a shell script to an executable means it doesn't depend on
there being a shell in the initramfs

fb796e61e0 pseudofile: allow setting uid and gid of files

4638092d3d build initramfs into kernel 
this doesn't matter for qemu, but there's no other way of
getting a hardware device to find it if the bootloader
won't co-operate

42725f56f9 make jffs2 module provide o.rootfs, conditionally 
it's enabled if config.rootfsType == "jffs2"

0687ae7f5c rename flashable->flashimage, o.squashfs to rootfs 
"rootfs" describes what it is for, "squashfs" merely says
how it's implemented

(also, rootfs-as-jffs2 will soon be added)

f5156425a2 correct jffs2 endian, remove unused bindings 2023-04-07 09:39:47 +01:00
Daniel Barlow
54a1ab3529 support jffs2, with initramfs 
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.

this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup

25d9da967c remove support for sockets in pseudofiles 
(1) we can't make them on a real filesystem except by running
something that calls socket()
(2) whyever would we want to?

f5a7b78679 rename kexec-tools-static 
it doesn't build natively on x86-64 and I don't suppose we need it to
anyway

a5cfa37ed3 unify kernel command line handling 
We now use MIPS_CMDLINE_DTB_EXTEND for all boot varieties
(tftpboot, flash boot, kexec) with the addition of
MIPS_BOOTLOADER_CMDLINE_REQUIRE_COOKIE - local patch -
so that the bootloader args are ignored unless they
contain the string "liminix"

8250d592ba don't hardcode root device, too confusing when adding phram 2023-03-19 20:27:05 +00:00

4b19568f1b add kexecboot 
This allows booting a new image from a running OS, creating a
phram mtd for the root squashfs

* enable CONFIG_KEXEC
* add modules/kexecboot
* patch kexec-tools to add --map-file option for the squashfs
* patch kernel kexec code to call new kernel with DTB

b85492c744 when flashing, only need to erase the space we're writing 2023-03-18 14:50:09 +00:00
Daniel Barlow
3c6ec354ce move root's home directory to /home/root 
/ is a bad choice of home directory

/home/root instead of /root is to make it easier to write
ssh keys to the right place

e78d5212e6 move tftp config to base module

is not enabled

d83bcc643e add wifi firmware, move things around in ram 
* at the base address we were using, the filesystem was getting
corrupted presumably because the kernel unpacked into it

* leave a little more space between compressed kernel and
squashfs. this is probably ineffective but also harmless

08bed15cf8 ssh service 
- dropbear
- generate host keys on first use
- mount /dev/pts

It's not ideal having the host key disappear when the device is
reboot, but without persistent storage the alternative is generating
it at build time. Deferring this problem to another time

e0ea576674 rename "device" config tree as "hardware" 
we are also using "device" for "network device" (as in eth0,
wlan0 etc) so this makes it a bit less confusing perhaps
