Bootmenu for amlogic devices

General Discussion
1

Hi,

This is my quick and dirty solution to multiboot any amlogic device(actually it can be used on any device that uses u-boot):

Be aware that it is not beginner friendly, you need at least some knowledge about writing and editing u-boot scripts, Uart cable is not needed but can be useful during testing and setting up.

I don’t have any of khadas boards, I made the boot menu to run on my kii pro tv box but you just need to replace the dtb.img file with the appropriate one for your board and everything else should work just fine

I tried to get it as close as I can to look like grub2 interface:

Now let’s explain How it works:

First, the sdcard must contain at least two fat32 partitions:

-First partition(fat32) (label=RECOVERY) content:

  Quote

├── aml_autoscript
├── dtb.img
├── Image
├── multiboot.script
├── multiboot.txt
├── uInitrd
└── update.zip

This partition contains the main boot manager files:

1-aml_autoscript is the script that is used to update the u-boot environment to allow for our method to work

2-dtb.img a dtb file, make sure to replace it with the appropriate one for your device I compiled it from coreelec source https://github.com/CoreELEC/device-trees-amlogic

3-Image is the kernel image of the boot manager

4- multiboot.script is the script that is executed to display the boot manager

5-update.zip use this in your update app in android to flash the aml_autoscript above and make the bootloader ready for our boot manager

-Second Partition(fat32) (label=BOOT) content:

├── config.yaml
└── multiboot
    ├── COREELEC
    ├── Debian-3-xfce
    ├── Debian_Server-3
    └── kernel-3.14

This partition contains at least the config.yaml file that contains general settings for the boot manager and the boot entries to be listed.

Note that I have a folder(multiboot) that contains the boot files for my distros(kernel,initrd,dtb and boot script) you don’t have to put them in this partition you can put them anywhere (another partition on the sd card, a USB drive or even in the internal EMMC) just make sure to have the correct path and device id for them in the config.yaml file.
Also If you want to use the remote control instead of a keyboard to select the os place the correct remote.conf of your remote in the root of this partition.

the structure of config.yaml is like this:

generalSettings:
  default: 5
  rememberboot: true
  timeout: 10
menu:
- bootscript: /multiboot/COREELEC/u-boot.script
  device: mmc 0:2
  devicefs: fat
  name: COREELEC
- bootscript: /multiboot/armbian-3.14.29-mate/u-boot.script
  device: mmc 0:2
  devicefs: fat
  name: armbian-3.14.29-mate
- bootscript: /multiboot/dvb_test/u-boot.script
  device: mmc 0:2
  devicefs: fat
  name: dvb_test
- bootscript: /multiboot/kernel-3.14/u-boot.script

first you set the general settings:

  • timeout: this is how many seconds the boot manager should wait before booting into the default boot entry

  • default: this is the zero based index of the default distro that the boot manager will boot to after timeout, note that index 0 is reserved for the internal EMMC boot so your menu starts at index 1.

  • rememberboot: if this is set to true then the manager will remember the entry that you selected and save it’s index in the default entry above so the next time you boot this will be your default entry.

after that you add your menu entries:

  • name: is the name of the distribution displayed in the boot menu

  • bootscript: this is the path of the bootscript of the distribution (note that this boot script should be capable of booting the distro on it’s on, so it must have the correct path of the boot files and pass the correct root parameter to the kernel, see the example u-boot.script files that are included in each distibution)

  • device is the device that contains the bootscipt using u-boot format so the first mmc and second partition would be mmc 0:2 , the second mmc and third partiton would be mmc 1:3 .

  • devicefs is the filesystem type of the above device, this is usually fat because most of these tv boxes support loading files of only fat32 partitions (except some boards like khadas vim and odroid whose bootloader support ext4 partitions)

now let’s see an example of a disto bootscript:

setenv env_addr "0x10400000"
setenv kernel_addr "0x11000000"
setenv initrd_addr "0x13000000"
setenv path "/multiboot/Debian-3-xfce"
setenv boot_start booti ${kernel_addr} ${initrd_addr} ${dtb_mem_addr}
if fatload mmc 0:2 ${kernel_addr} ${path}/zImage; then if fatload mmc 0:2 ${initrd_addr} ${path}/uInitrd; then if fatload mmc 0:2 ${env_addr} ${path}/uEnv.ini; then env import -t ${env_addr} ${filesize};fi; if fatload mmc 0:2 ${dtb_mem_addr} ${path}/dtb.img; then run boot_start; else store dtb read ${dtb_mem_addr}; run boot_start;fi;fi;fi;

this the same bootscript that was shipped with balbes150 image I only edited the device to mmc 0:2 because this is where I have my kernel and other boot files, also I prepended the correct path before each file name.

In the uEnv.ini file of this distro I edited the root parameter to use a partition labeled “Debian-3-xfce” and created that partiton using gparted

bootargs=root=LABEL=Debian-3-xfce rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0
fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mac=${mac}

I prepared a boot image that contains the boot manager and two distibutions, Coreelec and Debian server.

download the image here and burn it to a new sdcard then use the update application in android and update using update.zip, after that you’ll see the boot menu after the reboot

Hello, I downloaded the image, I have 4 partitions, I wrote it on sd card, I tried updating with the update.zip file but it does not update says the wrong signature and the boot manager does not appear. I mention that I have VIM2 max. What I’m wrong with, please help.
Thank you.

3

Well, on the k2pro It didn’t require to sign the update.zip maybe on khadas boards it checks for the signature so we might need to sign the update.zip with signapk.
If you can access u-boot through UART cable you can just load and execute the aml_autoscript without the need for the update.zip

Hi blondu,

Which version of Android you tried? I tried VIM2_Nougat_V180619 on VIM2 and load update.zip successfully, but still failed to boot into bootmenu, it is maybe the DTB or kernel of tiny linux not match for VIM2. But it works on VIM1, successfully boot into bootmanu and can boot to CoreELEC, remenber to replace the DTB file.

Thanks.

5

I have the version requested by Android and I changed dtb in RECOVERY 2 zones: kvim2_multios.dtb and kvim2_linux.dtb taken from DEBIAN / multiboot / Debian-server / dtb.
Thank you.

See on the Uart where it hangs and stops to boot.
for the recovery kernel, I compiled it from the coreelec project https://github.com/CoreELEC/linux-amlogic
Disabled as many features as possible without breaking anything, the dtb file was also compiled from the coreelec device-tree repo.
I can post the config I used so you can compile your own and test, or maybe post the whole Buildroot configs and scripts.
Note that the version of coreelec os that is shipped with the image is modified, the default init scripts of coreelec (and libreelec obviously) Doesn’t support mounting SYSTEM_IMAGE with a path, So I had to modify the init scripts.

7

Try to compile dtb from coreelec project

8

Hello, I’ve recovered some boot logs, 1 with the original dtb and the other with dtb linux vim2, can help.

Does the board just hang after the last line or does it reboot? I can see that the kernel is booting so there might be some problem setting up Getty on the serial port. if the board reboots then it’s likely that the script was run but for some reason, the framebuffer was not set up correctly, Do you see anything through HDMI?

10

I do not see the boot menu, so I can not select any system.

11

Does the board reboot automatically? try to replace the kernel in the recovery partition with a kernel that you tested before(from any distro that you booted before)

@moham96 & community,

this is a great idea. but the google drive is invalid now… can someone share it again?

on another thread (Multiboot selector for your tv box - General Chat - armbian forum) the author posted a newer method, but the google drive is also invalid. can someone, hopefully someone read both the threads here and there, share the files of that thread?

many thanks.
