Booting Linux on ESP32-S3 with U-Boot #19
Comments

It would, but why would anybody want that? |

I'm interested in trying to create drivers for the ESP32-S3's hardware without the need of ESP-IDF or without anything that ESP-IDF does getting in the way. I do also want to check out developing for bare-metal Xtensa on the ESP32-S3. |

Developing your own drivers will be hard for the Wifi part, which requires closed-source firmware that interacts with FreeRTOS(or at least tries to; You could possibly stub out the required FreeRTOS functions). The Wifi hardware is not documented. I think in some ways the ESP-IDF makes creating new drivers for Linux easier - You can just create a small binding between FreeRTOS and Linux via the IPC mechanism, instead of a full driver. If you actually just want working drivers, don't re-implement them yourself, just use the ESP-IDF drivers in Linux via the IPC, and write a Linux "stub" driver. But if you just want to learn about embedded programming I guess you could just try to port u-boot! Learning is guaranteed :P |

I will learn, which is what I'm aiming for! I want to see if I can get U-Boot to replace the main app entirely so that only the bare minimum of ESP-IDF would be needed. |
The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does not take into account that the IO could be arbitrarily large and can contain arbitrary number of extents. Extent tree manipulations do often extend the current transaction but not in all of the cases. For example if we have only single block extents in the tree, ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the time and we will never extend the current transaction and eventually exhaust all the transaction credits if the IO contains many single block extents. Once that happens a WARN_ON(jbd2_handle_buffer_credits(handle) <= 0) is triggered in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() and subsequently OCFS2 aborts in response to this error. This was actually triggered by one of our customers on a heavily fragmented OCFS2 filesystem. To fix the issue make sure the transaction always has enough credits for one extent insert before each call of ocfs2_mark_extent_written().

Would it be possible to get a proper bootloader like U-Boot onto the ESP32-S3 and boot Linux with it?
