Getting kwboot onto an E02

The E02 seems a good choice for picocom an kwboot and the USB side of a TTY thingy plugged in...

Bodhi was saying:

dmesg | tail

and then

So that happens, first part good. Tried installing picocom and it says it's already installed... ok those late nights I forget sometimes...

Now on to the kwboot part of it - I get that file from Dropbox, but there's no .dpkg extension so I can't install it.

There's information everywhere but I get lost in the haystack. For now I'm not sure how important getting this going is, but that'd be nice in the future to have a kwboot box ready if needed to confirm testing others are doing.

Joey,

It is a binary ready to run. No need to install it. Just run it at the folder where you download it to (the u-boot image must also be there).

For example,

./kwboot  -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2016.05-tld-2.1.on100_k9.mtd0.kwb  -p

Very good to know bodhi. Let me beg two more and I'll have this in the cranium long term.

1. For now I download using Windows and place it in a Debian install. What's a universal Linux folder those commands are known to work? Home? I dunno.
2. The uBoot! I almost screwed this up and ran one that says "pogo_e02" in the name, and the example you showed looks a lot more kosher. Should I get the one in your example and give it a go? Meet you back in the ON-100 topic if so.

* Gents I would't blame you if you had enough of these fundamental questions. But earlier in life I invented a phrase zero steps forward is always better than fifty steps back because I hadn't asked questions.

Usually binaries that you install will go into one of the folders in PATH (where Linux finds the commands when you try to execute it).

echo $PATH

Output from one of my plugs:

/usr/local/distcc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Notice usr/local/bin folder. If you like you could move kwboot to this folder and then you can execute it just like any other binaries. This is a quick and dirty way. Just make sure there is no binary named kwboot in that folder already.

To see where is a certain binary located:

which <binary name>

run the which command before and after you move kwboot to that and see how Linux finds it.

That's how you run u-boot using kwboot on the target box. In this case, your target is the Cisco ON100.

Nice, saved me from certain error maybe. Okay 1:30am here, melatonin kicking in, I'll expect to prep first thing in the morning and start this in a zen state of mind, like grasshopper show master :-)
