In more detail: a TFTP transfer of a file given in -environment variable 'updatefile' from server 'serverip' is attempted during -boot. The update file should be a FIT file, and can contain one or more -updates. Each update in the update file has an address in NOR Flash where it -should be placed, updates are also protected with a SHA-1 checksum. If the -TFTP transfer is successful, the hash of each update is verified, and if the -verification is positive, the update is stored in Flash. - -The auto-update feature is enabled by the CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP macro: - -#define CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 1 - - -Note that when enabling auto-update, Flash support must be turned on. Also, -one must enable FIT and LIBFDT support: - -#define CONFIG_FIT 1 -#define CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1 - -The auto-update feature uses the following configuration knobs: - -- CONFIG_UPDATE_LOAD_ADDR - - Normally, TFTP transfer of the update file is done to the address specified - in environment variable 'loadaddr'. If this variable is not present, the - transfer is made to the address given in CONFIG_UPDATE_LOAD_ADDR (0x100000 - by default). - -- CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX - CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX - - These knobs control the timeouts during initial connection to the TFTP - server. Since a transfer is attempted during each boot, it is undesirable to - have a long delay when a TFTP server is not present. - CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for - the server to respond to initial connection, and CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX - gives the number of such connection retries. CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX must - be non-negative and is 0 by default, CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX must be - positive and is 100 by default. - -Since the update file is in FIT format, it is created from an *.its file using -the mkimage tool. dtc tool with support for binary includes, e.g. in version -1.2.0 or later, must also be available on the system where the update file is -to be prepared. Refer to the doc/uImage.FIT/ directory for more details on FIT -images. - -This mechanism can be also triggered by the commmand "fitupd". -If an optional, non-zero address is provided as argument, the TFTP transfer -is skipped and the image at this address is used. -The fitupd command is enabled by CONFIG_CMD_FITUPD. - - -Example .its files ------------------- - -- doc/uImage.FIT/update_uboot.its - - A simple example that can be used to create an update file for automatically - replacing U-Boot image on a system. - - Assuming that an U-Boot image u-boot.bin is present in the current working - directory, and that the address given in the 'load' property in the - 'update_uboot.its' file is where the U-Boot is stored in Flash, the - following command will create the actual update file 'update_uboot.itb': - - mkimage -f update_uboot.its update_uboot.itb - - Place 'update_uboot.itb' on a TFTP server, for example as - '/tftpboot/update_uboot.itb', and set the 'updatefile' variable - appropriately, for example in the U-Boot prompt: - - setenv updatefile /tftpboot/update_uboot.itb - saveenv - - Now, when the system boots up and the update TFTP server specified in the - 'serverip' environment variable is accessible, the new U-Boot image will be - automatically stored in Flash. - - NOTE: do make sure that the 'u-boot.bin' image used to create the update - file is a good, working image. Also make sure that the address in Flash - where the update will be placed is correct. Making mistake here and - attempting the auto-update can render the system unusable. - -- doc/uImage.FIT/update3.its - - An example containing three updates. It can be used to update Linux kernel, - ramdisk and FDT blob stored in Flash. The procedure for preparing the update - file is similar to the example above. |
