Many different solutions exist, but this document will focus on embedded MultiMediaCard normally referred to as eMMC. An eMMC consists of two parts; the flash memory (of type NAND) and the memory controller. Having the memory controller integrated simplifies the usage of the storage device. Without this controller the software driver on the host would have to handle the low-level flash memory management, such as wear levelling and error correction. 2.1 Additional information Additional documentation you might need is. • “TN-52-07: e.MMC Partitioning”, from Micron • “TN-FC-40: Configuring the Embedded e.MMC Device”, from Micron • “TN-FC-06: Booting from Embedded MMC”, from Micron • Introduction of eMMC by Yejin Moon at Samsung Electronics 2.2 Conventions in this document A number of conventions have been used throughout to help the reader better understand the content of the document. Constant width text – is used for file system paths and command, utility and tool names. $ This field illustrates user input in a terminal running on the development workstation, i.e., on the workstation where you edit, configure and build Linux # This field illustrates user input on the target hardware, i.e., input given to the terminal attached to the COM Board This field is used to illustrate example code or excerpt from a document. This field is used for important notes and highlights Copyright 2020 © Embedded Artists AB Rev A Working with eMMC Page 6 3 Default configuration 3.1 Memory areas When the eMMC component is delivered from the manufacturer it is normally divided into four areas as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 - Default memory organization Area Description Boot Typically used to store firmware and data needed during booting of the device. Two boot areas are normally available and these are of type SLC NAND (enhanced mode) RPMB Replay-protected memory-block area. This area is typically used to store secure data such as encryption keys. This area is of type SLC NAND (enhanced mode). User This area is used to store user data such as a file system. This is the area that is normally divided into several partitions. By default, it is of type MLC NAND, but can be changed to SLC NAND (enhanced mode), see chapter 6 3.2 Usage of the areas Figure 2 show the default usage of the eMMC areas on Embedded Artists COM boards. Copyright 2020 © Embedded Artists AB Rev A Working with eMMC Page 7 Figure 2 - Default usage of the eMMC areas Area Description Boot area 1 The bootloader images (such as SPL and u-boot) are stored in this area. The boot area is not formatted and contains no file system. The images are instead stored at fixed offsets. When SPL and u-boot are used SPL will be stored at an offset of 1024 bytes (1 Kbyte) and u-boot will be stored at an offset of 69 Kbytes. The area also contains the u-boot environment which is stored at an offset of 2 Mbytes minus 8 Kbytes (2MB – 8KB). User area The user area is divided into two partitions. The first partition will be FAT32 formatted Partition 1 and contain the Linux kernel and device tree files. User area The second partition contains the root file system and is by default ext3 formatted. Partition 2 Copyright 2020 © Embedded Artists AB Rev A Working with eMMC Page 8 4 Get information about the eMMC device 4.1 List MMC devices In Linux you can list available MMC devices (and partitions) by checking the /dev/ directory # ls -la /dev/mmcblk* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 Dec 23 11:57 /dev/mmcblk2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 32 Dec 23 11:57 /dev/mmcblk2boot0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 64 Dec 23 11:57 /dev/mmcblk2boot1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 1 Dec 23 11:57 /dev/mmcblk2p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 2 Dec 23 11:57 /dev/mmcblk2p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 96 Dec 23 11:57 /dev/mmcblk2rpmb In the above example there is one MMC device (mmcblk2) which has 5 partitions. 4.2 mmc-utils The tool mmc-utils is by default installed in the root file system when using Embedded Artists Yocto image. This tool can be used not only to retrieve information about the eMMC device, but also change its configuration. 4.2.1 Check eMMC version # mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk2 | head 2 ============================================= Extended CSD rev 1.8 (MMC 5.1) 4.2.2 Max Enhanced Area Size You can check the maximum enhanced area size that can be used (see chapter 6 for more information about enhanced area). # mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk2 | grep -A2 MAX_ENH_SIZE_MULT Max Enhanced Area Size [MAX_ENH_SIZE_MULT]: 0x0001d2 i.e. 3817472 KiB 4.2.3 Boot partition size Check the boot partition size by running the command below. You can then calculate the actual size by 128 KB x BOOT_SIZE_MULTI. In the example below the size is 128 KB x 64 = 8192 KB = 8 MB. # mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk2 | grep BOOT_SIZE_MULTI Boot partition size [BOOT_SIZE_MULTI: 0x40] 4.2.4 Boot configuration Check the current boot configuration by running the command below. In this example BOOT_ACK (bit 6) is set and boot partition 1 is enabled (bit 3). See the table below for the field / bit descriptions. # mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk2

  • The NTFS File System
    The NTFS File System OVERVIEW: This lab is part of a series of lab exercises intended to support courseware for Forensics training. The development of this document is funded by the Department of Labor (DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) Grant No. TC-22525-11-60-A-48. In this lab, students will enumerate hosts on the network using various tools. This lab includes the following tasks: 1 – Examining the NTFS File System 2 – Using a HEX Editor to explore an NTFS Partition 3 – Verifying and viewing the image details 4 – Analyzing an NTFS Partition With Autopsy Key TermDescription The acronym NTFS stands for New Technology File System. The NTFS File System was originally introduced with the Windows NT. NTFS is a journaling file system which means it keeps a log of changes being written to the disk. If a computer is shutdown improperly, it will have a better NTFS chance of recovery if it has a journaling file system. Files and folder access can be restricted with the security feature of NTFS. Starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft included the Encrypted File System, or EFS, as an NTFS feature. EFS allows users to encrypt files to protect against unauthorized access. A Feature of the NTFS File system that allows you to encrypt files and folders. The feature EFS became available on the NTFS File system starting with Windows 2000, and is still available today on Windows 10 and Server 2016. An Alternate Data Stream, or ADS, is a feature of the NTFS file system that allowed compatibility ADS with older versions of the Mac OS.

  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.
