Intro
Failsafe is the short name for the RAM bootable rescue image for APF boards (APF6 & OPOS6UL only for the moment). It is a Linux kernel + minimal initrd image all packed together in a standard kernel image (apf6-linux.bin or opos6ul-linux.bin).
Installation
Generate it
$ make apf6failsafe_defconfig or $ make opos6ulfailsafe_defconfig $ make $ cp buildroot/output/images/*-linux.bin /tftpboot/
Launch it
BIOS> run ramboot
Cool stuff that can be done with it
apf-config
# apf-config
- check eMMC filesystem
Backup eMMC
- you need a network connection with a server that can receive the backup (for example with NFS, here mounted on /mnt/nfs/):
# dd if=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=512 count=7733248 conv=noerror,sync | pv | gzip -c -9 > /mnt/nfs/emmc.bak.gz
- wait some minutes until backup is done ;-)
Restore eMMC from backup
- same principle:
# gunzip -c /mnt/nfs/emmc.bak.gz | pv | dd of=/dev/mmcblk2 conv=sync,noerror bs=512 count=7733248
Backup rootfs partition only
- Check that you are using the right partition ;-) and be sure that it has no errors (here example for OPOS6UL(NANO)):
# dumpe2fs -h /dev/mmcblk0p2 | grep name # e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p2
- Mount rootfs in a temporary mount point:
# mkdir -p /tmp/mnt/rootfs # mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/mnt/rootfs/
- eventually get current date:
# udhcpc -i eth0 # ntpd -nqp 217.147.208.1 # DATE=`date +%Y.%m.%H-%M`
- backup will be put on HOME partition so check there is enough space:
# df -h
- and launch backup:
# cd /tmp/mnt/rootfs/; tar cvzf /home/rootfs_$DATE.backup.tar.gz *
Restore rootfs partition only
- erase current content of rootfs, you will loose all data !!:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2
- mount rootfs in a temporary mount point:
# mkdir -p /tmp/mnt/rootfs # mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/mnt/rootfs/
- launch restore:
# tar zxvf /home/rootfs_xxx.backup.tar.gz -C /tmp/mnt/rootfs/ # sync # umount /tmp/mnt/rootfs/ * that's it !
