Preparing the Boot Device
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Prepare a USB flash drive to boot the Zephyr application image on
|
|
a board.
|
|
|
|
#. Format the USB flash drive as FAT32.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, open ``File Explorer``, and right-click on the USB flash drive.
|
|
Select ``Format...``. Make sure in ``File System``, ``FAT32`` is selected.
|
|
Click on the ``Format`` button and wait for it to finish.
|
|
|
|
On Linux, graphical utilities such as ``gparted`` can be used to format
|
|
the USB flash drive as FAT32. Alternatively, under terminal, find out
|
|
the corresponding device node for the USB flash drive (for example,
|
|
``/dev/sdd``). Execute the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ mkfs.vfat -F 32 <device-node>
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
Make sure the device node is the actual device node for
|
|
the USB flash drive. Or else you may erase other storage devices
|
|
on your system, and will render the system unusable afterwards.
|
|
|
|
#. Copy the Zephyr EFI image file :file:`zephyr/zephyr.efi` to the USB drive.
|
|
|
|
Booting Zephyr on a board
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Boot the board to the EFI shell with USB flash drive connected.
|
|
|
|
#. Insert the prepared boot device (USB flash drive) into the board.
|
|
|
|
#. Connect the board to the host system using the serial cable and
|
|
configure your host system to watch for serial data. See board's
|
|
website for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Use a baud rate of 115200.
|
|
|
|
#. Power on the board.
|
|
|
|
#. When the following output appears, press :kbd:`F7`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
Press <DEL> or <ESC> to enter setup.
|
|
|
|
#. From the menu that appears, select the menu entry that describes
|
|
that particular EFI shell.
|
|
|
|
#. From the EFI shell select Zephyr EFI image to boot.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
Shell> fs0:zephyr.efi
|
|
|
|
#. When the boot process completes, you have finished booting the
|
|
Zephyr application image.
