How to flash eMMC device and boot from UDA partition
####################################################

********
Overview
********

- Requires a bootable SD card with linux Kernel images. Boot the target EVM to
linux prompt and check for mmc devices

.. code-block:: console

root@j7200-evm:~# lsblk | grep mmc
mmcblk0 179:0 0 14.8G 0 disk
|-mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 128M 0 part /run/media/boot-mmcblk0p1
`-mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 14.7G 0 part /run/media/root-mmcblk0p2
mmcblk0boot0 179:32 0 31.5M 1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 31.5M 1 disk
mmcblk1 179:96 0 29.7G 0 disk
|-mmcblk1p1 179:97 0 128M 0 part /run/media/boot-mmcblk1p1
`-mmcblk1p2 179:98 0 8.5G 0 part /

Here, SD card is mmcblk1 and eMMC (UDA partition) is mmcblk0. SD card rootfs
partition (mmcblk1p2) is mounted at root.

- To flash eMMC using a partitioned wic image from the SDK, jump to :ref:`flash-emmc-from-wic`

- To flash eMMC manually, jump to :ref:`flash-emmc-manually`

- To Boot the board from a flashed eMMC device, jump to :ref:`flash-emmc-boot`

.. _flash-emmc-from-wic:

************************************
Flash eMMC device using a disk image
************************************

Copy the .wic formatted disk image from the SDK installer to target filesystem.
Then the eMMC device can be flashed using following commands

.. code-block:: console

root@j7200-evm:~# ls
tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.wic.xz
root@j7200-evm:~# xz -d -k tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.wic.xz
root@j7200-evm:~# ls
tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.wic tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.wic.xz
root@j7200-evm:~# umount /dev/mmcblk0*
root@j7200-evm:~# dd if=tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.wic of=/dev/mmcblk0
root@j7200-evm:~#

To Boot the board from a flashed eMMC device, jump to :ref:`flash-emmc-boot`

.. _flash-emmc-manually:

**************************
Manually flash eMMC device
**************************

Partition and format eMMC device
================================

Following commands will partition the eMMC device from linux using fdisk, mkfs
utilities:

.. code-block:: console

root@j7200-evm:~# umount /dev/mmcblk0*
root@j7200-evm:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 count=1024
root@j7200-evm:~# fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.39.3).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS (MBR) disklabel with disk identifier 0x85204c5d.

Command (m for help): n
Partition type
p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
e extended (container for logical partitions)
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1): 1
First sector (2048-31080447, default 2048):
Last sector, +/-sectors or +/-size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-31080447, default 31080447): +128M

Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 128 MiB.
Partition #1 contains a vfat signature.

Do you want to remove the signature? [Y]es/[N]o: Y

The signature will be removed by a write command.

Command (m for help): n
Partition type
p primary (1 primary, 0 extended, 3 free)
e extended (container for logical partitions)
Select (default p): p
Partition number (2-4, default 2): 2
First sector (264192-31080447, default 264192):
Last sector, +/-sectors or +/-size{K,M,G,T,P} (264192-31080447, default 31080447):

Created a new partition 2 of type 'Linux' and of size 14.7 GiB.
Partition #2 contains a ext4 signature.

Do you want to remove the signature? [Y]es/[N]o: Y

The signature will be removed by a write command.

Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1,2, default 2): 1
Hex code or alias (type L to list all): c

Changed type of partition 'Linux' to 'W95 FAT32 (LBA)'.

Command (m for help): a
Partition number (1,2, default 2): 1

The bootable flag on partition 1 is enabled now.

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.

Populate eMMC device
====================

- Boot partition

Populate Boot partition on eMMC device with a copy of SD card Boot partition.

.. code-block:: console

root@j7200-evm:~# umount /run/media/*
root@j7200-evm:~# mkdir /mnt/sd-boot /mnt/emmc-boot
root@j7200-evm:~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sd-boot
root@j7200-evm:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/emmc-boot
root@j7200-evm:~# cp -r /mnt/sd-boot/* /mnt/emmc-boot
root@j7200-evm:~# sync
root@j7200-evm:~# umount /mnt/*

Alternatively, the boot files can be copied from any source manually.

- Rootfs partition

Populate rootfs partition on eMMC device with a copy of SD card rootfs
partition.

.. code-block:: console

root@j7200-evm:~# umount /run/media/*
root@j7200-evm:~# mkdir /mnt/sd-rootfs /mnt/emmc-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/sd-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/emmc-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# cp -r /mnt/sd-rootfs/* /mnt/emmc-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# sync
root@j7200-evm:~# umount /mnt/*

Alternatively, the rootfs can be flashed from a tarball:

.. code-block:: console

root@j7200-evm:~# ls
tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.tar.xz
root@j7200-evm:~# umount /run/media/*
root@j7200-evm:~# mkdir /mnt/emmc-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/emmc-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# tar -xf tisdk-base-image-j7200-evm.rootfs.tar.xz -C /mnt/emmc-rootfs
root@j7200-evm:~# sync
root@j7200-evm:~# umount /mnt/emmc-rootfs

To Boot the board from a flashed eMMC device, jump to :ref:`flash-emmc-boot`


.. _flash-emmc-boot:

*****************************************
Boot through UDA partition of emmc device
*****************************************

Following are the steps to boot the target through eMMC device.
For more information refer to :ref:`boot-linux-from-mmc`

- To give the ROM access to the boot partition, the following commands must be
run from the u-boot prompt for the first time.
To boot from UDA partition of eMMC:

.. code-block:: console

=> mmc partconf 0 1 7 1
=> mmc bootbus 0 2 0 0

- Now we can reboot the board with eMMC bootmode selected.

- Even with eMMC bootmode selected u-boot defaults to use SD card (mmcdev=1)
for Kernel and filesystem. To boot kernel and filesystem from eMMC, use the
following commands at the u-boot prompt:

.. code-block:: console

=> setenv mmcdev 0
=> setenv bootpart 0:2
=> boot
