Add a defconfig to run Linux on a large range of 32-bit HP PA-RISC 1.1 Workstations, such as the HP 9000 700 and Visualize workstations. While at it, add this defconfig to myself in DEVELOPERS. Signed-off-by: Vincent Stehlé <vincent.stehle@laposte.net> Signed-off-by: Julien Olivain <ju.o@free.fr>

Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The hp_9000_defconfig is meant to run Linux on a large range of 32-bit
|
|
HP PA-RISC 1.1 Workstations, such as the HP 9000 700 and Visualize
|
|
workstations. [1]
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
$ make hp_9000_defconfig
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Generated files under output/images:
|
|
|
|
* lifimage: network bootable image comprising Linux kernel and ramdisk.
|
|
* disk.img: bootable disk image, with Linux kernel and root filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
To run the generated system, one method is to write the disk image directly to
|
|
the workstation hard disk drive using a PC and an SCSI adapter. Extract the
|
|
disk from the workstation, connect it to the PC, then do:
|
|
|
|
# dd if=output/images/disk.img of=<hdd device> ; sync
|
|
|
|
Put the disk back into the workstation, connect to the UART console with
|
|
baudrate 9600; the firmware should boot Linux from disk and you should obtain a
|
|
login prompt.
|
|
|
|
Another method is to boot from the network. This necessitates to setup a DHCP
|
|
and TFTP server, such as dnsmasq[2], to give the workstation its boot filename
|
|
with DHCP and serve the lifimage with TFTP.
|
|
|
|
Connect to the UART console with baudrate 9600 and interrupt the boot sequence
|
|
of the firmware.
|
|
|
|
On an HP 9000 712 workstation, do:
|
|
|
|
BOOT_ADMIN> boot lan
|
|
|
|
On an HP Visualize J210XC workstation, do:
|
|
|
|
Configuration Menu: Enter command > boot lan
|
|
Interact with IPL (Y or N)?> n
|
|
|
|
The firmware should boot Linux from the network and you should obtain a login
|
|
prompt.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to download the disk image from the network and write it to the
|
|
hard disk drive, for example with TFTP:
|
|
|
|
# tftp -g -r <path to>/disk.img -l /dev/sda <server ip>
