Example of ARM based linux board using initramfs and serial console

[Alexander Wolfson]

Hi all,

 

I just subscribed to the list and would like to say hello to everybody.

 

 

I would like to find a working example of initramfs on the ARM based
board.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am porting Linux to the ARM 926 based board. There are no network or
Flash drivers available yet. No LCD is available yet as well

I tried to use initramfs just to test the board , etc. 

This is a new chip so hardware bugs are possible.

 

Unfortunately I never used intramfs before and was looking for a good
doc or better an example.

The closes I found beyond "/Documentation/filesystems/
ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt was on free-electrons.com .

They were using framebuffer and Qemu no serial console

 

I built initramfs file system using "buildroot" project.

 

So far board hangs after getting to the point where I assume it tries to
go to initramfs.

 

I started instrument the kernel, etc. to see what is going on, but it
would be nice to have a working example to know that at least I did not
make any stupid mistake.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Alex
