@bodhi,
I used WarheadsSE stage1 loader with 850MHz for a long time. Now I am using my own 2013.10 u-boot-spl.bin file with 850MHz which is prepared for SATA booting on HD drive. No I did'nt run the new NAND u-boot with 800Mhz stage1 yet. In NAND I currently have WarheadsSEs kernel.
Will try the 850MHz u-boot-spl Flash image later.

@shv,
I've flashed this 850MHz u-boot-spl image to NAND and running it currently. I recalled you did performance tests before so it'll be good to see the before and after numbers!

@bodhi:
what performace tests should I do before I flash the new u-boot-spl.bin?
You can find some performance data for 700/850MHz in the followin topic: http://pogoplug.square7.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13#p14

@shv,
I found the link to your post from way back! But now I realized that was HDD performance test. However, if you did compile something big like a kernel then it would show the CPU performance increase clearly. I can't remember the CPU benchmark that I've seen. Perhaps Phoronix has something like that.

I have successfully flashed the uboot. It seams to be not possible to keep the old uboot environment. It might be overwriten or located at a different address. fw_printenv is working with the new uboot and its environment. blparam does not work anymore. I tried to change the ethaddr with fw_setenv without success.
-shv
~# fw_setenv ethaddr Can't overwrite "ethaddr"In the boot console the change of ethaddr is possible.

@shv,
That's a nice 19% performance improvement!!!
Which kernel are you running? can you change other u-boot envs? This u-boot uses the same env location as the stock env, so it should not change any of the envs. However, steps 8 and 9 flashes a default set of envs, did you do these steps?

Thanks Warhead! I was wondering about that. I remember distincly you mentioned about you've tried 950MHz.

The kernel is 2.6.31.14 booted from SATA with SATA u-boot. Yes I can change other u-boot envs. I think the u-boot envs were set by u-boot to some default. As I recognized this I flashed your default set according to steps 8 and 9. I think the format of environment area is different. With the old u-boot fw_printenv couldn't be used due to some CRC error and with the new u-boot blparam can't be used.

@shv,
It is different. blparam's checksum is different from one used by fw_setenv. Thus fw_setenv can not be used with old u-boot and blparam can not be used with new u-boot.
This is the reason I've provided the env image (default envs is not enough to set the checksum) so users can flash it.

@bodhi,
I am trying to make the boot environment more flexible with the following goals:
1. boot chain: (ide), usb, flash -> ide booting not available yet
2. booting of different kernels a) uImage, b) uImage and uInitrd, c) uImage, uInitrd, dtb
Can you please have a look at my boot env for possible improvements?
It works so far but I am not sure if the bootargs are completly right.

@shv,
Possible improvements:
1. When you try to boot either the FDT kernel or non-FDT kernel, it is best to have 2 separate set of boot envs. It'll make it easier to code and debug.
2. To ensure booting the correct rootfs when multiple drives connected, the USB rootfs should have partition label rootfs, and:
3. And this is not completed:
If you're combining non-FDT kernel and FDT kernel booting in one statement like above, you will need the below path somewhere in the env (for booting Arch with DTB):

@bodhi,
tanks for your answer.
1. To seperate sets of boot envs: I want to prevent switching between seperate boot env sets.
2. label rootfs: good proposal - will try to use this
3. Not completed - I don't understand why: I tried booting ftd kernel and this works well - bootm 0x60500000 0x60e00000 0x62c00000 is included. Isn't it complete?
I am not sure with bootargs because I combined them from different bootenvs and they are different to yours. But I can boot just uImage kernels as well as fdt kernels. Therefore the bootargs might not be so bad.

@shv,
Your set_bootargs_usb looks OK.
3. Incomplete because these are possibe variations of bootm command:
bootm command for booting with the uInitrd and DTB:
booting command for booting without the uInitrd and DTB:
booting command for booting with the uInitrd and embedded DTB:
booting command for booting without the uInitrd and embedded DTB:
Since your intent is to enable booting with or without DTB, and to enable booting with or without uInitrd, there are 4 possible ways to boot. So your usb_boot env lacks the option to boot without uInitrd, but with DTB.

It seams that using root=LABEL=rootfs in bootargs doesn't work for the old 2.6.31.x kernels where just uImage is available. Does this behavior belongs to the missing uInitrd? Is there any way to solve this somehow with changes in bootenv? Otherwise booting from USB with IDE drive present doesn't work.
The follwoing skript can be used to deactivate SATA booting without any damage of partition table:

@shv,
Yes, the root=LABEL=rootfs argument only works with initrd. So if you boot either stock, or Arch kernel, you would have to create this ramdisk file separately and use it for booting.
There is just no generic way to boot correctly on Pogo V3 to boot with several USB and SATA drives attached. However, in a specific case, you can set u-boot env to boot correctly. For example, booting USB rootfs with with one USB and one SATA:
- Ensure the SATA drive does not contain rootfs or boot files (i.e. no /boot/uImage)
- Ensure USB rootfs is on the 1st partition
- Set u-boot env root=/dev/sdb1
But as soon as you plug in additional disk (USB or SATA), all bets are off! So I'd say that creating the initrd is the best solution, you'll never have this problem again.

@bodhi,
I created a kernel with ramdisk. But it doesn't start somehow. It stops after veryfying the checksum of uImage.
If I tried to load the kernel with dtb even unused the result is as follows:

@shv,
Kernel 2.6.3x does not have supports for Device Tree. If you happen to have the DTB embedded in uImage, then it won't boot.

@shv,
Also,keep in mind that this u-boot supports non-FDT and FDT automatically, so when you boot with 2.6.3x, you can't have anything in the bootm command that triggers the FDT path:

With this little change the 2.6.31.14 kernel with uImage and uInitrd is booting. Thanks bodhi for putting me into the right direction.
Now I am able to setup a boot environment with a boot chain USB, IDE, Flash. In case USB and IDE drives contain kernel and rootfs the device will boot from USB. Thats why I intend to use different rootfs names for USB and IDE. If no boot drive is connected it boots into Pogo OS.
Just tested: It works as intended.

The mtd0 dump must be restored using the same option as the dump command. See this thread for example:

Newhope,
It does not seem right: 138,412,032 / 1024 = 135168 K = 132M (mtd0 is only 1M total).
This number is about the entire NAND.
