General information on boot logs
|
|
||||||
================================
|
|
||||||
To gather good boot logs, you must set the debug level to Spew.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If your board uses CMOS configuration[1], you can do it like this:
|
|
||||||
nvramtool -w debug_level=Spew
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Else you will need to have to set the default log level at compile
|
|
||||||
time, to do that go in "Console --->" in make menuconfig, then set
|
|
||||||
"Default console log level" to SPEW
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Reference:
|
|
||||||
----------
|
|
||||||
[1] in make menuconfig you should have: [*] Use CMOS for configuration values
|
|
||||||
This option is also known as CONFIG_USE_OPTION_TABLE in Kconfig.
|
|
||||||
Information through SSH
|
|
||||||
======================
|
|
||||||
board_status.sh can gather information through ssh with the -r
|
|
||||||
option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When using "-r <host>", The script will attempt to log into
|
|
||||||
root@<host>.
|
|
||||||
In order for "-r <host>" to work, the script has to be able
|
|
||||||
to log into the remote host's root account, without having
|
|
||||||
to provide a password.
|
|
||||||
That can be achieved with the use of SSH keys and ssh-agent.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
board_status.sh expects the remote host to have the following
|
|
||||||
programs in its path: cbmem, dmesg
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Boot log gathering through a serial port
|
|
||||||
=======================================
|
|
||||||
When using -s </dev/xxx>, board_status.sh starts by retrieving the
|
|
||||||
boot log through the serial port.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To produce such logs, power off the board, run board_status.sh
|
|
||||||
with the right arguments, power on the board.
|
|
||||||
At that point the logs will be displayed by board_status.sh as they
|
|
||||||
are produced by the board.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Enter will have to be pressed once the board has booted and is in a
|
|
||||||
state where the script is able to log into that board.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Publishing
|
|
||||||
==========
|
|
||||||
The -u switch will publish the results: It will make a git patch out
|
|
||||||
of the status information, that will be directly pushed in the
|
|
||||||
board-status repository.
|
|
||||||
It expects the user to already have an account in coreboot's gerrit
|
|
||||||
instance.
