Linux Kernel 6.11.6 Kirkwood package and Debian rootfs

kernel 4.6 is out ...
it's running on my NSA325 and iconnect ... let's see ..
The Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick 2 which I'm using for several months with several kernel versions isn't working anymore ..
The firmware cannot be loaded .. (testet two different versions, no luck)
Unfortunately, I cannot find any of my other sticks, so I cannot change.

Hallo Bodhi,

tried to install your kernel 4.6 to my pogoplug e02 running on kernel 4.5

I think there are 2 errors in your documentation to unstall it:

I think in line:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d vmlinuz-6.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uImage

vmlinuz-6.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 should be vmlinuz-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1

and after the line:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd

my pogo don´t want to go further, because it hasn´t found initrd.img-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1

So badly for me no success.

Rainer

Thanks for reporting the typo Rainer.

The file initrd.img-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1should be there after you run dpkg. Look in your /boot directory

ls -l *4.6.0-kirkwood-tld*

Do you see it? should look like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  144044 May 18 03:01 config-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7542748 May 19 21:48 initrd.img-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1
-rw------- 1 root root 2315651 May 18 06:34 System.map-4.6.0-kirkwood-tld-1

Hi bodhi,

Adam Bakers patch for nsa320-hwmon after long reviews got finally upstream just in time for 4.6,..

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/drivers/hwmon/nsa320-hwmon.c?id=v4.6&id2=v4.5

what puzzles me is that pengu reports nsa3xx-hwmon is working, this is the naming of my intermediate
patch which is now obsolete,.. did you incorporate this intermediate patch in 4.6 ?

will have a look the next days and let you know,..

best wishes pbg4

Hi pbg4,

I think I did. It was carried over from 4.5. Please take look at the patch and let me know if I should remove it from the kernel and use the mainline.

Hey bodhi, installed your new 4.6 kernel (big thanks btw!), and dmesg gives me the following warning:

[    2.776931] [Firmware Warn]: /ocp@f1000000/mdio-bus@72004/ethernet-phy@1: Whitelisted compatible string. Please remove

At the moment everything works fine, nothing to complain. Wanted to know if i can ignore this warning.

Thanks in advance!

That's OK. But I'll take a look why it shows in new kernel.

I've seen that too (when using old DTB, and the network device appears .. with new (4.5 and 4.6 it doesn't sorry that I doesn't mention this earler

Hi,
various procedures are applicable when is there the original firmware?
I've Iomega ix4-200d with the originale firmware version 2.1.48.30125.

If not, please help me with the complete procedure for apply your kernel..

Yes.

Pay attention to the DTB for your box in the instruction in the first post.

Quote

/boot/dts/kirkwood-iomega_ix4_200d.dtb

Use the latest rootfs, and remember to append the DTB (4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier)) since you are booting with stock u-boot.

Quote

Latest rootfs: Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (20 Feb 2016)

If you have problem while installing new rootfs, please start a new thread in this forum.

Hi!

I have a ZyXEL NSA320S and I am interested to boot up a Debian system eith a fresh kernel on it. Because the old (2.6.31.8) kernel has a lot of disabled thing (for example the wifi support) and if I create a custom kernel it works, but a bit buggy...

So I decided to move to a Debian system and I found this nice article. :)

I have a TTL-USB cable and I have a basic knowledge in kernel flash, but I don't know what is the fdt and I think the default (stock) u-boot doesn't supports the tld... So if my theory is true I have to change the BL (u-boot). But I don't know how to do this and I am a bit worried, I don't want a brick. Or it isn't needed?

If I didn't misunderstood sg the ethernet won't work if I install this? But temporarily Can I use my usb wifi dongle (rt8192cu module)?

And Can I install the whole system to a pendrive and it doesn't overwrite my stock uimage and the others?

And is my HDD will be formatted?

It uses glibc or uClibc?

Thanks for Your work and sorry for my question flood (and my bad English too)...

Ps: If You need any information please tell me what is needed for You! ;)

Ethernet does work in rootfs 4.4. And in kernel 4.6.

Yes.

See this thread : http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,19720,28059#msg-28059
For how people install latest Debian rootfs (link in my signature) to run with stock u-boot.

When you're ready to install, post what you are going to do in that nsa320s thread, and I will check it for you.

I'm struggling here at the mkimage stage for initrd.

I've downloaded the kernel files from dropbox, have extracted everything I can but cannot find anywhere the initrd.img file needed by mkimage.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ah - I see what I was doing wrong. I was trying to extract the files from the .deb file using ar, but we need to use dpkg because it does a whole load of post-processing on those files and generates the init image.

Was a bit chicken-and-egg for a while as my pogo fs has put itself into protective-read-only mode due to SD errors, but I've cloned it onto a spare card and am able to run dpkg on that.

Hi, is the Lenovo Iomega ix4-300d supported?

I only see a file named kirkwood-iomega_ix4_200d.dtb, not any kirkwood-iomega_ix4_300d.dtb.

No. I don't have the Iomega ix4-300d and it has not been supported in the mainline, either.

Thank you for your reply :)

Which 4 drive model would you recommend?
I was thinking about a used ix4-200d. But I would like at least 1GB of RAM.

CableCat,

I don't have any recommendation for a 4-bay NAS.

You're welcome! You guys did most of the testing. Too bad the uboot ethernet switch driver was not quite ready. I am still waiting for it to become mainlined. Hopefully when that happens more people will be interested.

The ix4-300d uses a MV78230 SoC. In the Linux kernel it goes under the name mv78xx0.

So it is Armada SoC, not Kirkwood.

In case anybody wondering, I've built kernel 4.7 without incidence. However it does not not have any thing interesting added, so decided not to release it and wait for 4.8.
