kirkwood uboot for dlink dns-325

@bodhi,

In the topic u-boot for d-link dns35, you provide u-boot for the device but with the warning not to flash to nand. I have DLed the u-boot and have been able to boot via UART and there was much joy. Could I get a version of this that is flashable? What makes the version in the linked topic unflashable?

I have tried to cross-compile u-boot myself but never had success. To shamelessly impose on you even more, what cross compiler do you use? Any other hints?

I forgot to include the boot messages.

Re: kirkwood uboot for dlink dns-325

sparks,

Cool! this u-boot has not been tested anybody before you did. And it is an incomplete version. I need to check the source code to see if the envs are at the right location as same as other Kirkwood u-boots I released here. I will release a 2025 u-boot for this box, if you are willing to be a tester.

However, it is OK if you want flash it to NAND. Because you can boot with the internal envs currently, you can use it with the limitation that you cannot change the envs yet. I need to build a new version with the correct envs location.

I'm away from my development environment for an extended time. So I cannnot build a new version or look at my u-boot source code. It will be a couple of months.

I build u-boot natively on ARM boxes. I also build kernels both on native ARM, and cross-compile on Linux Mint (Ubuntu) using Linaro tool chain. I strongly recommend Linaro toolchain if you want to cross compile.

Did you connect the Ethernet cable? you don't have network in this boot log.

I see. You're using the wrong uImage. Whhen you create the rootfs Debian-6.5.7-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 you did step 4:

Quote

4. (Stock u-boot only) Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Skip this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time, or running kwboot with latest u-boot image).

Please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box (see the folder /media/sdb1/boot/dts for the exact spelling of your Kirkwood box name).

Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside:
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-6.5.7-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-6.5.7-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync


But now that you're booting with the new u-boot, you are booting with separate DTB. So reverse step 4:

cd /boot
mv uImage uImage.dns_325_dtb
cp -a uImage.orig uImage
sync

And reboot.

Of course I will be a tester.

I cannot duplicate the boot of the linux-6.5.7 rootfs. Some how my u-boot env got hosed. I think memory and mtd addresses are wrong. But at least I have got a couple of months to work it out.

Not that long! I can answer questions when you have problem.

So you did save envs to NAND to get rid of the CRC error. It's good and bad. Bad because the envs you have entered were not good for booting Debian and the latest kernel.

Before fixing it properly on NAND, for now you can use the uEnv.txt approach to boot Debian

The Wiki thread
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,23630

Quote

Booting Debian on Kirkwood boxes

Booting with uEnv.txt (to fix messed up U-Boot envs or corrupted NAND envs area)

The example was for the GoFlex Home. So you need to edit the uEnv.txt to have

dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-dns325.dtb

And also edit other envs that are specific to your box, e.g. ipaddr, serverip, ethaddr....

Thank you for your last suggestion. It got my boxes booted into Debian. I hadn't mentioned that I have 2 of these boxes. The reason for the delay in reply is that one of the boxes boots but doesn't recognize the hard drives. I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure this out. I approached it as a software problem and burned a lot of time getting nowhere. I went down this path because the working box is HW rev A1 and the non-working is HW rev A2. I finally decided that it's a hardware problem. I came to the conclusion that the problem is beyond my abilities (no schematic, poor eyesight, multi-sided PCB, not-very-clever) though I believe it to be a failure in the +5V bus since I haven't seen the fan run once.

Thank you for your help and I'll await contact for u-boot testing. I'll PM my e-mail address.

OK. You can register for this thread update in the forum, too.
