Zyxel NSA320 u-boot-2014.07-tld-4 for testing

I've uploaded the Zyxel NSA320 u-boot-2014.07-tld-4 for testing.

In this u-boot image, I've incorporated the fix for the network PHY problem. This problem occurs when the box is shutdown, and upon coming up with the Power button, the network link was not brought up properly. So the result is netconsole does not work and no network can be accessed for tfpt, or sntp during boot.

Please test this with UART, if you have serial console. Since this is the NAND version, kwboot must be executed with -p option:

kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2014.07-tld-4.nsa320.mtd0.kwb -p

Interrupt serial console after the image was loaded and U-Boot console countdown started. And execute the following commands at the u-boot prompt:

ping $serverip
ping <your router IP address>

In the 2nd command <your router IP address> should be replaced with the real IP address of your router.

And then boot all the way into Debian/Arch to verify everything is normal. If you have incorporated the GPIO hacks to bring up the network before, remove it temporarily, and the run the test above again (shutting down the box, run kwboot, power up with power button).

Hi bodhi,

just a quick test on a NSA320 box with custom zyxel uboot gave positive results,
if I set power_resume = 0 i.e. no power resume and than the box is shutdown, upon
coming up with the Power button afterwards kwboot results are:

kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2014.07-tld-4.nsa320.mtd0.kwb -p

after stopping and setting serverip and ipaddr ping works,
although on the egiga0 phy only the yellow led blinks, green led does not signal
the ping,

NSA320> ping $serverip

NSA320> ping 192.168.1.1
Using egiga0 device

booting debian jessie from usb disk with 4.0.0-kirkwood-tld-2 kernel works also and the phy stays powered and
one can ssh into the box, looks good so far, ...

best wishes pbg4

Hi pbg4,

So the behavior is consistent with the NSA310S PHY manual pokes. Everything works, but a minor glitch is some how the Ethernet port LED does not refect the true speed. I'll move this image status up to release thread. We'll look at the LED issue later.

Thanks!

This is the wrong thread :) but thanks for testing!
