| memboot |
| ======= |
| |
| This is a small utility designed to be run on the ASPEED BMC used in |
| some OpenPower systems. It allows you to boot the P8 host from the |
| main system memory of the BMC rather than from the flash memory. |
| |
| This is mainly useful for firmware development as it makes it possible |
| to try new firmware images without first having to write the new image |
| to flash memory which can be a lengthy process. |
| |
| Building: |
| --------- |
| |
| CC=<arm toolchain> make |
| |
| Usage: |
| ----- |
| |
| ./memboot <flash image> - Will cause the P8 host to boot from BMC |
| system memory at next power on. |
| |
| ./memboot - Will boot the system from flash memory at next |
| power on. |
