custom ps3 bootloader with vfat support (0.1.2-20090917)

Post by sashz »

This bootloader includes pdaXrom-ng base and ps3 GUI shell created from scratch :)

Changes:
* Hypervisor bug fixed.

Supported boot devices are the following:
* Internal harddrive, CD/DVD, cardreader
* External USB sticks, hardrives, CD/DVD

Supported filesystems are:
* vfat (no more problems with long file names on FAT formatted media)
* ext2
* ext3
* iso9660
* udf

USB keyboard and joystick (USB and BT modes) are supported. Screen mode is autodetected by default. To select preferred mode use keyboard or ps3 controller. Your selected video mode will be stored to a bootloader configuration. During startup press and hold right shift on the keyboard to safe video mode.

Keys: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 - video modes: 0,3,4,5,131,132,133,11,12,13
Controller dpad: L1,R1,L2,R2 - video modes: 0,3,4,5
Keys/Buttons: left,right,up,down to navigate devices and configurations
Enter: boot selected configuration.
Space: simple cmdline editor for selected boot confguration.

Download

Bootloader is available on http://mail.pdaxrom.org/downloads/PS3/bootloader/

ps3boot source svn repository is on https://pdaxrom.svn.sourceforge.net/svn ... k/ps3boot/

To build ps3boot install libjpg, libpng and freetype.

Installation

* Download bootloader 'pdaXrom-ng-otheros.bld', rename it to 'otheros.bld'.
* On your USB stick or CD create the directory /PS3/otheros/ and copy 'otheros.bld' file to it.
* Insert CD or a plug USB stick into PS3 and go to System->System Settings->Install Other OS. PS3 should find and install bootloader.
* Go to System->System Settings->Set Default OS->OtherOS to boot up with pdaXrom-ng bootloader.

excellent work !

do you think spufs could be added to the base system ? if so, your bootloader could be a basis for distributing ps3 homebrew on vfat-based removable media (ie, without having to install a fully functional GNU/Linux system).

other question : could bluetooh support be added aswell ? at least the necessary files for handling the wireless controllers.

yes, for spufs - enable it in the kernel config. For bluetooth - i will add bluez.

Hi sashz,

This sounds really, really good to me.

I would like to modify and test the petitboot and/or the ps3boot programs, and generate my own bootloaders.
Could you please provide a link to some documentation to build an up-and-running bootloader from the pdaXrom and kernel sources ?

Thank you in advance.

To compile this stuff you need linux host (native or installed in vmware emulator or similar) or Apple OSX with darwinports installed. I use Ubuntu 8.10 and OSX 10.5.6.

Preparing build host

Install the next packages for linux (ubuntu,debian) host (for rpm based linux, check for similar packets):

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install autoconf automake bison build-essential cmake flex gperf intltool libbz2-dev libcap-dev libglib2.0-dev libxml-simple-perl libxml2-dev lzma m4 rpm subversion xmlto zlib1g-dev
To use Darwin (OSX) host, install the next packets from darwin ports:

Code: Select all

sudo port install autoconf automake bison bzip2 cmake coreutils cpio flex glib2 gmake gperf intltool libxml2 lzma m4 p5-xml-simple rpm subversion wget xmlto zlib
Getting the build system components

Get the build system from svn:

Code: Select all

svn co http://pdaxrom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pdaxrom/branches/pdaXrom-ng
Goto in working directory:

Code: Select all

cd pdaXrom-ng
Build cross toolchain

Code: Select all

sudo ./build-crosstools.sh powerpc-linux-uclibc
Clean the system after a build is finished:

Code: Select all

sudo ./build-crosstools.sh clean
The best idea is compile all stuff with normal user. Create the toolchain directory with user permission, /opt/powerpc-linux-uclibc:

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir -p /opt/powerpc-linux-uclibc
sudo chown myuser:mygroup /opt/powerpc-linux-uclibc
Run the build scripts without sudo to compile or cleanup.

Target system build

Build ps3boot image:

Code: Select all

./build-ps3-boot.sh
Find otheros.bld file in images/ directory after compilation is finished.

Build petitboot image:

Code: Select all

./build-ps3-petitboot.sh
Don't forget clean the build system before any new build for different targets or configurations.

thank you for your precious help. I managed to build my own otheros images with the help you provided.

I have successfully added spufs at bootloader execution. This enabled me to run statically linked Cell programs with embedded SPU code directly from the bootloader. This works even when the executable and data files are on a USB stick.

Here is a patch file with my modifications.

I haven't found the time for bluetooth testing. For the moment I use the controller in USB mode.

Bluetooth support definitely looks possible on this bootloader. I'll try to do something as soon as I find the time for it.

Excellent - let us know how you go as this would make the bootloader killer.

Hi sashz, thank you for your excelent bootloader, i had successfully booted a live mame cd, i tried to boot the new YDL 6.1 but it doesn´t recognize it, do you know what could be the reason?
With the otheros.bld included in the distribution it boots, and also with petitboot, (but petitboot doesnt boot mame live cd and others) i like your loader more, how could i look into what went wrong?
could hpfs filesystem be implemented?

I hope you got time for the bluez addition update.
Thanks Again.

Hi speedxl,

What is the name and the version of your Mame Live cd version you tried ?
Is it your own build or another one?

Could you please supply us a link to find it ?
thanks

Of course!
Its not my build it is from a nice guy named Phil, he worked in this sometime ago, now it appears he will find sometime to update it to the latest version, currently with this boot loader, and this live cd, you dont need to partition the internal hdd, and dont need a keyboard or mouse in all the process, because both support the sixaxis, although only by usb.

If phil updates the live cd to YDL 6.1 it will support bluetooth probably.

here is the link to the iso. It has no ROMS except one for testing (Robby Roto) but this game has been made free to use by his autor so i hope there are no problems to post the link.

Now ps3boot includes only kboot parser, without yaboot parser. I guess YDL uses yaboot config file.

I have added bluez build script to trunk sources. New ps3boot and beta live cd are coming on the next week.

Indeed the YDL 6.1 dvd uses yaboot.conf, i hope it could be added in the future (i guess petitboot sources could be helpful for this), i will be waiting for your new ps3boot as its very useful, its NICE that you managed to add bluez!
Thank You!!!

Hi sashz, did you manage to update ps3boot binary? i have been by your site but it seems the same version.

Thank you.

Hi, i made update to 0.1.1 - http://wiki.pdaxrom.org/downloads/PS3/b ... -0.1.1.bld and sources http://wiki.pdaxrom.org/downloads/PS3/b ... .1.tar.bz2

it includes yaboot parser, and also simple ps3boot config parser.

ps3boot parser enables execute binaries/scripts from removable storage:

<storage>/ps3boot.conf (ps3boot.cnf/ps3boot.cfg):

Code: Select all

message="Hello! Hello!"
default=mygame

label=game1
     exec=game1.sh

label=mygame
    exec=bin/mygame
it will execute script <storage>/game1.sh for game1 label or <storage>/bin/mygame for mygame

In next update i want add loadable modules support to bootloader kernel. If applications will need sound, bluetooth etc, they will able load it itself.

I did try the new version and it works now with YDL, and noticed that it boots to the menu a lot faster, bluez isnt implemented yet, i guess it will come as a loadable module option in next version... Thanks again.

Hello,

I tried compiling a bootloader with bluez support. This induces a lot of dependencies, including glib2 and dbus. Glib2 complains about missing iconv library, which is included in glibc but not uClibc. I am afraid building the bluez 4.29 binaries for the embedded bootloader system is out of reach.

Maybe using bluez-utils and bluez-libs version 3.36 would be a solution, since the 3.x series of bluez were using an internal implementation of glib (called "eglib").

I definitley have no time for further checking. If somebody experiments anything, please keep us informed about this.

Hi, fancied building a boot cd with some emulator stuff in, but having trouble.

Building on a PC, running Debian in VirtualBox.

My first bit of confiusion:

sudo ./build-crosstools.sh i686-linux

or

sudo ./build-crosstools.sh powerpc-linux

PS3 is PowerPC, but my build PC is i686. Should I select the correct item for the BUILD PC or the TARGET PC???

When I originally read this, I chose PowerPC, an when it comes to building the image, I get this error:

Code: Select all

Hello,

you need build powerpc-linux toolchains for build ps3 live cd, or powerpc-linux-uclibc for ps3boot:

Code: Select all

sudo ./build-crosstools.sh  powerpc-linux
clean build system from old sources:

Code: Select all

sudo ./build-crosstools.sh clean
okay, powerpc-linux crosscompiler ready, build livecd:

Code: Select all

./build-linux-ps3.sh
Get iso file in images/ directory after compilation is finished.

Still having problems. There are some additional dependancies that need installing:

zip, libgtk2.0-dev

which Firefox and Xchat fell over on.

However now it's complaining at curl..

Never managed to fix that problem, seems like a problem with Debian 5. Moved my build to a different PC, that's got Ubuntu on it (64bit), and it sailed past the curl part without any problems...

However it's now stuck on lxde-lxpanel...

However now it's complaining at curl..
i have added curl patch, please update svn sources and run compilaton again:

Code: Select all

svn update
rm state/curl-7.extracted 
rm build/curl-7.19.4 -rf
./build-linux-ps3.sh
Dependencies - install next packages, it must be enought

I tried compiling a bootloader with bluez support. This induces a lot of dependencies, including glib2 and dbus. Glib2 complains about missing iconv library, which is included in glibc but not uClibc. I am afraid building the bluez 4.29 binaries for the embedded bootloader system is out of reach.
If all you want is to use the wireless controller, bluez is probably overkill anyway. All you really need to do is listen for two L2CAP connections and a tiny program could probably be written to do that directly. I might play with this if I get the time..

Here's a simple server that will open some Bluetooth sockets, listen for connections from paired Sixaxis controllers, enable reporting and set the LEDs, and display the raw data stream:
http://ps3.jim.sh/sixaxis/bt/server.tar.gz
It doesn't need bluez libraries, so it should be good for a bootloader.

My problems with lxpanel were caused by missing libtool..

I hope you don't mind, I have added the missing dependancies to the Wiki:

Can I assume that because the emulators include is commented out, that it's because there is currently no patch for sdl?

UPDATE: Everything compiles, and for the moment, I have included the binary version of SDLMAME in the image, and lo and behold, I can boot PDAXROM and run FIREFOX and SDLMAME (only tried robby.zip so far).

Sweet...

Many thanks for providing such a smart set of tools. My next task is to include mkextfs so I can format a Linux partition and install the stuff to the HDD so it boots a tad quicker....
