Kirkwood U-boot - Getting all supported Kirkwoods on-board
January 06, 2014 11:52AM
@bohdi @davygravy

Gents,

Shall we work on getting all known and linux supported Kirkwood based boards into one tree, especially those that we don't have an existing consolidated codebase? Get these working, and into a consolidated tree, so that we can get them all to modern versions of u-boot that will support GPT, FDT, et al without us all having to hunt around?

Examples of troublesome:
- V4 SATA vs SD being seperate
- NSA320, 325, 310 (anyone have a 310?)

@WarheadsSE

I'm thinking along the same line! As soon I can create the clean set of patches for the Goflex Net, Home, Pogo E02, Dockstar, and iConnect, it will be available to be merge into this tree.

BTW, I've tested FDT kernel supports for 3 out of those 5 (GF Home and Pogo E02 don't have FDT kernel board files yet).

Arch Linux ARM does have a set of FDT drivers, and a user that was dev/maint/use the config. I can get in contact with him regarding that.

That would be great, guys! I've gotten lost hunting around. A kernel that loads a machine dependent device tree but boots on all the various platforms sounds great. I just experienced the
unrecognized machine problem with Bodhi's recent kernels. I had dutifully set my pogoplug arcNumber to 3542 when that was mentioned a while ago, but of course now it doesn't work with the bodhi kernel.

Tj,
Your problem is with machid. It needs to be set to the hex value dd6 (3542 decimal).
Set it in console.

More info: my kernel build has patches to work with older uBoot (I believe that it should also work with 2011 uBoot, i.e ones without L2 patch).

Hah, I *just* started poking at the linux-kirkwood-dt kernel package again today. If there is going to be an effort to get an updated FDT u-boot rolling for as many of the Kirkwood boards as possible, I'm game to help as much as I can.

List of Kirkwood devices I have:
- GoFlex Net
- Pogoplug V4 (not mobile)
- ZyXEL NSA320
- ZyXEL NSA325
- USI Topkick (the reference design the TonidoPlug 2 is based on)

I've got a SheevePlug eSata (though I never tested the eSata port) and PogoPlug Mobile, I can help with testing (not so much in development).
The SheevePlug uBoot definetely got some issues, mainly it won't load uImage from subfolder so I've got a specific boot partition.

I've been thinking exactly the same. I have a handfull of Netgear Stora's, pogoplugs, NSA320 that would greatly benefit. I've been interested in FDT as well.

I'm an engineer in the Networking division of HP. I was talking with the UEFI commitee VP the other day. He told me that now that the UEFI committee has merged with the ACPI, the next target is to replace u-boot with UEFI. His advice was to focus on Linaro and Uefi.

I've researched linaro on marvell kirwood, but not seen anything conclusive. Does anyone know if it's supported?

Alright, we're a good chunk through February, lets get on this.

So:
- github ?
- modern-ifying the PPV4, and as many supported platforms as possible.

Hi Guys,

I have a zyxel nsa320, and I'm an arch linux arm user. FYI I have already forward-ported support for this board to current uboot. The repo is at https://github.com/PlanetEater/uboot-nsa320 (forked from https://github.com/psch2/uboot-nsa320).
Thought it may serve as an example/forking base for the other boards of yours.

I can certainly use that patch set, but I would like to branch right off of mainline and get it all in & working.

@WarheadsSE,

I've cloned git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git to my local directory. But I'm not sure how do I set my Git to take version 2013.10? do I need use a tag for this? if I do then where do I get that tag?

My plan is to create a kirkwood branch from that snapshot, and check in the patches.

Thanks.

git checkout -b 2013.10-kirkwood 183acb700378a8cfc5d50a01a65de93fb2c24586

This will create a branch based from the 2013.10 tag.

Bodhi,

I made a few comments to the first commit (of all the patches for all the devices), and was wondering if you have seen them.
