690 novaboot - A tool for booting various operating systems on various hardware or in qemu
694 B<novaboot> [ options ] [--] script...
696 B<./script> [ options ]
702 This program makes it easier to boot NOVA or other operating system
703 (OS) in different environments. It reads a so called novaboot script
704 and uses it either to boot the OS in an emulator (e.g. in qemu) or to
705 generate the configuration for a specific bootloader and optionally to
706 copy the necessary binaries and other needed files to proper
707 locations, perhaps on a remote server. In case the system is actually
708 booted, its serial output is redirected to standard output if that is
711 A typical way of using novaboot is to make the novaboot script
712 executable and set its first line to I<#!/usr/bin/env novaboot>. Then,
713 booting a particular OS configuration becomes the same as executing a
714 local program - the novaboot script.
716 With C<novaboot> you can:
722 Run an OS in Qemu. This is the default action when no other action is
723 specified by command line switches. Thus running C<novaboot ./script>
724 (or C<./script> as described above) will run Qemu and make it boot the
725 configuration specified in the I<script>.
729 Create a bootloader configuration file (currently supported
730 bootloaders are GRUB, GRUB2 and Pulsar) and copy it with all other
731 files needed for booting to another, perhaps remote, location.
733 ./script --server --iprelay=192.168.1.2
735 This command copies files to a TFTP server specified in the
736 configuration file and uses TCP/IP-controlled relay to reset the test
737 box and receive its serial output.
741 Run DHCP and TFTP server on developer's machine to PXE-boot NOVA from
746 When a PXE-bootable machine is connected via Ethernet to developer's
747 machine, it will boot the configuration described in I<script>.
751 Create bootable ISO images. E.g.
753 novaboot --iso -- script1 script2
755 The created ISO image will have GRUB bootloader installed on it and
756 the boot menu will allow selecting between I<script1> and I<script2>
761 =head1 PHASES AND OPTIONS
763 Novaboot perform its work in several phases. Each phase can be
764 influenced by several options, certain phases can be skipped. The list
765 of phases with the corresponding options follows.
767 =head2 Configuration reading phase
769 After starting, novaboot reads configuration files. By default, it
770 searches for files named F<.novaboot> starting from the directory of
771 the novaboot script (or working directory, see bellow) and continuing
772 upwards up to the root directory. The configuration files are read in
773 order from the root directory downwards with latter files overriding
774 settings from the former ones.
776 In certain cases, the location of the novaboot script cannot be
777 determined in this early phase. This happens either when the script is
778 read from the standard input or when novaboot is invoked explicitly
779 and options precede the script name, as in the example L</"4."> above.
780 In this case the current working directory is used as a starting point
781 for configuration file search.
785 =item -c, --config=<filename>
787 Use the specified configuration file instead of the default one(s).
791 =head2 Command line processing phase
797 Dump the current configuration to stdout end exits. Useful as an
798 initial template for a configuration file.
802 Print short (B<-h>) or long (B<--help>) help.
804 =item -t, --target=<target>
806 This option serves as a user configurable shortcut for other novaboot
807 options. The effect of this option is the same as the options stored
808 in the C<%targets> configuration variable under key I<target>. See
809 also L</"CONFIGURATION FILE">.
813 =head2 Script preprocessing phase
815 This phases allows to modify the parsed novaboot script before it is
816 used in the later phases.
820 =item -a, --append=<parameters>
822 Appends a string to the first "filename" line in the novaboot script.
823 This can be used to append parameters to the kernel's or root task's
828 Use F<bender> chainloader. Bender scans the PCI bus for PCI serial
829 ports and stores the information about them in the BIOS data area for
834 Prints the content of the novaboot script after removing comments and
835 evaluating all I<--scriptmod> expressions. Exit after reading (and
838 =item --scriptmod=I<perl expression>
840 When novaboot script is read, I<perl expression> is executed for every
841 line (in $_ variable). For example, C<novaboot
842 --scriptmod=s/sigma0/omega6/g> replaces every occurrence of I<sigma0>
843 in the script with I<omega6>.
845 When this option is present, it overrides I<$script_modifier> variable
846 from the configuration file, which has the same effect. If this option
847 is given multiple times all expressions are evaluated in the command
852 Strip I<rom://> prefix from command lines and generated config files.
853 The I<rom://> prefix is used by NUL. For NRE, it has to be stripped.
857 =head2 File generation phase
859 In this phase, files needed for booting are generated in a so called
860 I<build directory> (see TODO). In most cases configuration for a
861 bootloader is generated automatically by novaboot. It is also possible
862 to generate other files using I<heredoc> or I<"<"> syntax in novaboot
863 scripts. Finally, binaries can be generated in this phases by running
868 =item --build-dir=<directory>
870 Overrides the default build directory location.
872 The default build directory location is determined as follows:
874 If there is a configuration file, the value specified in the
875 I<$builddir> variable is used. Otherwise, if the current working
876 directory is inside git work tree and there is F<build> directory at
877 the top of that tree, it is used. Otherwise, if directory
878 F<~/nul/build> exists, it is used. Otherwise, it is the directory that
879 contains the first processed novaboot script.
881 =item -g, --grub[=I<filename>]
883 Generates grub bootloader menu file. If the I<filename> is not
884 specified, F<menu.lst> is used. The I<filename> is relative to the
885 build directory (see B<--build-dir>).
887 =item --grub-preamble=I<prefix>
889 Specifies the I<preable> that is at the beginning of the generated
890 GRUB or GRUB2 config files. This is useful for specifying GRUB's
893 =item --grub-prefix=I<prefix>
895 Specifies I<prefix> that is put in front of every file name in GRUB's
896 F<menu.lst>. The default value is the absolute path to the build directory.
898 If the I<prefix> contains string $NAME, it will be replaced with the
899 name of the novaboot script (see also B<--name>).
901 =item --grub2[=I<filename>]
903 Generate GRUB2 menuentry in I<filename>. If I<filename> is not
904 specified F<grub.cfg> is used. The content of the menuentry can be
905 customized with B<--grub-preable>, B<--grub2-prolog> or
906 B<--grub_prefix> options.
908 In order to use the the generated menuentry on your development
909 machine that uses GRUB2, append the following snippet to
910 F</etc/grub.d/40_custom> file and regenerate your grub configuration,
911 i.e. run update-grub on Debian/Ubuntu.
913 if [ -f /path/to/nul/build/grub.cfg ]; then
914 source /path/to/nul/build/grub.cfg
917 =item --grub2-prolog=I<prolog>
919 Specifies text I<preable> that is put at the begiging of the entry
922 =item --name=I<string>
924 Use the name I<string> instead of the name of the novaboot script.
925 This name is used for things like a title of grub menu or for the
926 server directory where the boot files are copied to.
930 Do not generate files on the fly (i.e. "<" syntax) except for the
931 files generated via "<<WORD" syntax.
933 =item -p, --pulsar[=mac]
935 Generates pulsar bootloader configuration file named F<config-I<mac>>
936 The I<mac> string is typically a MAC address and defaults to
939 =item --scons[=scons command]
941 Runs I<scons> to build files that are not generated by novaboot
946 Exit novaboot after file generation phase.
950 =head2 Target connection check
952 If supported by the target, the connection to it is made and it is
953 checked whether the target is not occupied by another novaboot
956 =head2 File deployment phase
958 In some setups, it is necessary to copy the files needed for booting
959 to a particular location, e.g. to a TFTP boot server or to the
964 =item -d, --dhcp-tftp
966 Turns your workstation into a DHCP and TFTP server so that NOVA
967 can be booted via PXE BIOS on a test machine directly connected by
968 a plain Ethernet cable to your workstation.
970 The DHCP and TFTP servers require root privileges and C<novaboot>
971 uses C<sudo> command to obtain those. You can put the following to
972 I</etc/sudoers> to allow running the necessary commands without
975 Cmnd_Alias NOVABOOT = /bin/ip a add 10.23.23.1/24 dev eth0, /bin/ip l set dev eth0 up, /usr/sbin/dhcpd -d -cf dhcpd.conf -lf dhcpd.leases -pf dhcpd.pid, /usr/sbin/in.tftpd --foreground --secure -v -v -v *, /usr/bin/touch dhcpd.leases
976 your_login ALL=NOPASSWD: NOVABOOT
978 =item -i, --iso[=filename]
980 Generates the ISO image that boots NOVA system via GRUB. If no filename
981 is given, the image is stored under I<NAME>.iso, where I<NAME> is the name
982 of the novaboot script (see also B<--name>).
984 =item --server[=[[user@]server:]path]
986 Copy all files needed for booting to another location (implies B<-g>
987 unless B<--grub2> is given). The files will be copied (by B<rsync>
988 tool) to the directory I<path>. If the I<path> contains string $NAME,
989 it will be replaced with the name of the novaboot script (see also
994 If B<--server> is used and its value ends with $NAME, then after
995 copying the files, a new bootloader configuration file (e.g. menu.lst)
996 is created at I<path-wo-name>, i.e. the path specified by B<--server>
997 with $NAME part removed. The content of the file is created by
998 concatenating all files of the same name from all subdirectories of
999 I<path-wo-name> found on the "server".
1001 =item --rsync-flags=I<flags>
1003 Specifies which I<flags> are appended to F<rsync> command line when
1004 copying files as a result of I<--server> option.
1008 =head2 Target power-on and reset phase
1012 =item --iprelay=I<addr[:port]>
1014 Use IP relay to reset the machine and to get the serial output. The IP
1015 address of the relay is given by I<addr> parameter.
1017 Note: This option is expected to work with HWG-ER02a IP relays.
1021 Switch on/off the target machine. Currently works only with
1024 =item -Q, --qemu=I<qemu-binary>
1026 The name of qemu binary to use. The default is 'qemu'.
1028 =item --qemu-append=I<flags>
1030 Append I<flags> to the default qemu flags (QEMU_FLAGS variable or
1031 C<-cpu coreduo -smp 2>).
1033 =item -q, --qemu-flags=I<flags>
1035 Replace the default qemu flags (QEMU_FLAGS variable or C<-cpu coreduo
1036 -smp 2>) with I<flags> specified here.
1040 =head2 Interaction with the bootloader on the target
1042 See B<--serial>. There will be new options soon.
1044 =head2 Target's output reception phase
1048 =item -s, --serial[=device]
1050 Use serial line to control GRUB bootloader and to see the output
1051 serial output of the machine. The default value is F</dev/ttyUSB0>.
1055 See also B<--iprelay>.
1057 =head2 Termination phase
1059 Daemons that were spwned (F<dhcpd> and F<tftpd>) are killed here.
1061 =head1 NOVABOOT SCRIPT SYNTAX
1063 The syntax tries to mimic POSIX shell syntax. The syntax is defined with the following rules.
1065 Lines starting with "#" are ignored.
1067 Lines that end with "\" are concatenated with the following line after
1068 removal of the final "\" and leading whitespace of the following line.
1070 Lines in the form I<VARIABLE=...> (i.e. matching '^[A-Z_]+=' regular
1071 expression) assign values to internal variables. See VARIABLES
1074 Otherwise, the first word on the line represents the filename
1075 (relative to the build directory (see B<--build-dir>) of the module to
1076 load and the remaining words are passed as the command line
1079 When the line ends with "<<WORD" then the subsequent lines until the
1080 line containing only WORD are copied literally to the file named on
1083 When the line ends with "< CMD" the command CMD is executed with
1084 C</bin/sh> and its standard output is stored in the file named on that
1085 line. The SRCDIR variable in CMD's environment is set to the absolute
1086 path of the directory containing the interpreted novaboot script.
1089 #!/usr/bin/env novaboot
1090 WVDESC=Example program
1091 bin/apps/sigma0.nul S0_DEFAULT script_start:1,1 \
1092 verbose hostkeyb:0,0x60,1,12,2

1095 sigma0::mem:16 name::/s0/log name::/s0/timer name::/s0/fs/rom ||
1096 rom://bin/apps/hello.nul
1099 This example will load three modules: sigma0.nul, hello.nul and
1100 hello.nulconfig. sigma0 gets some command line parameters and
1101 hello.nulconfig file is generated on the fly from the lines between
1106 The following variables are interpreted in the novaboot script:
1112 Description of the wvtest-compliant program.
1114 =item WVTEST_TIMEOUT
1116 The timeout in seconds for WvTest harness. If no complete line appears
1117 in the test output within the time specified here, the test fails. It
1118 is necessary to specify this for long running tests that produce no
1119 intermediate output.
1123 Use a specific qemu binary (can be overriden with B<-Q>) and flags
1124 when booting this script under qemu. If QEMU_FLAGS variable is also
1125 specified flags specified in QEMU variable are replaced by those in
1130 Use specific qemu flags (can be overriden with B<-q>).
1132 =item HYPERVISOR_PARAMS
1134 Parameters passed to hypervisor. The default value is "serial", unless
1135 overriden in configuration file.
1139 The kernel to use instead of NOVA hypervisor specified in the
1140 configuration file. The value should contain the name of the kernel
1141 image as well as its command line parameters. If this variable is
1142 defined and non-empty, the variable HYPERVISOR_PARAMS is not used.
1146 =head1 CONFIGURATION FILE
1148 Novaboot can read its configuration from a file. Configuration file
1149 was necessary in early days of novaboot. Nowadays, an attempt is made
1150 to not use the configuration file because it makes certain novaboot
1151 scripts unusable on systems without (or with different) configuration
1152 file. The only recommended use of the configuration file is to specify
1153 custom_options (see bellow).
1155 If you decide to use the configuration file, it is looked up, by
1156 default, in files named F<.novaboot> as described in L</Configuration
1157 reading phase>. Alternatively, its location can be specified with the
1158 B<-c> switch or with the NOVABOOT_CONFIG environment variable. The
1159 configuration file has perl syntax and should set values of certain
1160 Perl variables. The current configuration can be dumped with the
1161 B<--dump-config> switch. Some configuration variables can be overriden
1162 by environment variables (see below) or by command line switches.
1164 Documentation of some configuration variables follows:
1170 Custom chainloaders to load before hypervisor and files specified in
1171 novaboot script. E.g. ('bin/boot/bender promisc', 'bin/boot/zapp').
1175 Hash of shortcuts to be used with the B<--target> option. If the hash
1176 contains, for instance, the following pair of values
1178 'mybox' => '--server=boot:/tftproot --serial=/dev/ttyUSB0 --grub',
1180 then the following two commands are equivalent:
1182 ./script --server=boot:/tftproot --serial=/dev/ttyUSB0 --grub
1187 =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
1189 Some options can be specified not only via config file or command line
1190 but also through environment variables. Environment variables override
1191 the values from configuration file and command line parameters
1192 override the environment variables.
1196 =item NOVABOOT_CONFIG
1198 Name of the novaboot configuration file to use instead of the default
1201 =item NOVABOOT_BENDER
1203 Defining this variable has the same meaning as B<--bender> option.
