Hi,

I am a complete Linux noob and need an u-boot binary. Is there someone who could compile it for me? I need this one:

u-boot-rd88f6281a_400rd_nand.bin

As far as I can see this code should generate it? https://github.com/niamster/uboot-marvell-openrd-ultimate
Line 148 in https://github.com/niamster/uboot-marvell-openrd-ultimate/blob/master/create_all_images.sh


Thanks in advance,

Reto

I could help you, but you should post more info about the box. So that it will help the community at large!

Hardware, model, all you know about the box.

system info

dmesg
cat /proc/cpuinfo

And whether you have serial console connected.

Hi bodhi,

Thank you for your answer. It is an Iomega ix4-200d. I accidentially erased the whole NAND.
vasichkin posted here that he had best results with u-boot-rd88f6281a_400rd_nand.bin: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381,15570#msg-15570

I have a serial connection and am able to load an u-boot via kwboot.


Thanks for your help,

Try kwboot with latest Sheevaplug u-boot-2015 from my uboot release thread
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

Sheevaplug is a better reference board. Same CPU and clock.

And pls post if you have more info about the ix4-200d. eg, memory, nand , sata, usb, dmesg from stock kernel...

bodhi,

I loaded the Sheevaplug u-boot via kwboot. Does this look ok?

I now would like to flash this to NAND. Unfortuantely I am stuck. What I tried:

But I cannot even ping it...

I also tried pinging from the other side, no response.

And yes, there is a cable in between the two... Any ideas what could be wrong here? Or another way how I could get the u-boot into NAND?

Reto,


It looks OK, but you should not flash it to NAND until after you can boot into Debian with the ix4-200d DTB and verify that it works correctly!

bodhi,

my NAND is completely empty. As explained earlier I accidentally erased the WHOLE NAND. There is nothing left, so nothing to lose.
Can I transfer the u-boot file via serial connection?

Of course, but if you booted into Debian/Arch or any Linux OS then the complete instruction is already in the u-boot thread (including u-boot default envs).

But how should I boot a Linux OS if I have not even a working Ethernet connection? ...
I now managed to transfer the u-boot file via serial, flashed it to NAND but after reset nothing happens. Is there anything else I have to do after flashing? What I did:

mw 0x0800000 0xffff 0x100000 
nand erase 0x0 0x100000
loadb 0x0800000 115200

wait for the transfer to complete...

nand write 0x0800000 0x0 0x100000
reset

It is perfectly OK to boot any Linux distro with only serial console. See here to proceed:

Ok, I will try to build a roots on an USB drive?
And how can I boot it from a u-boot residing in RAM?



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/14/2016 01:25PM by Reto.

Reto,

You don't really need to do anything special. u-boot runs in RAM (even though it resides in NAND).

- Create the 3.16 rootfs on a USB stick and plug it in.
- Load the sheevaplug u-boot-2015.10-tld-1with kwboot like you did

- At the serial console, interrupt u-boot and check the internals default env (this is different from the default envs in the envs image)

printenv

- Go ahead and boot

boot

And post the serial console bootlog here if you wish.

I'd expect it will boot into Debian, but will not run as the ix4-200d. For that, you need to use the kernel 4.2 with the ix4-200d DTB file (see the link I posted previously). However, this attempt would be a quick way to assure that you can flash u-boot, upgrade kernel... do anything you want from a Linux prompt.

Thanks, I am one step further. However I am unable to get the ramdisk. I tried the "dpkg -i linux-image-4.2.0-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb" command but it is not working. I guess this is because I am on an amd64 system here...

Reto,

You dont have to upgrade the kernel yet. Boot with the 3.16 rootfs first. And then upgrade the kernel while logging in Debian.

Reto,

No, it means that the rootfs was not mount successfuly. It is because the rootfstype mismacthed. The internal u-boot env for this was set as ext2. So:

- Reboot with kwboot again.
- At the serial console, interrupt u-boot and

setenv rootfstype ext3

- Go ahead and boot

boot

Damn! Of course! Now it is booting from USB!!! :-)

Next step would be to try to flash u-boot to NAND by following this guide, right? http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

I tried it but unfortunately it is not working. There is no output on the serial console after a cold start...
There are some differences to your guide in the mtds though. Could this be the problem?

# MTD device name	Device offset	Env. size	Flash sector size	Number of sectors
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00004000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00400000 00004000 "uImage"
mtd2: 01b00000 00004000 "rootfs"

Do I have to change the mtds first, and if yes how? Or do I have do change the flash erase/write commands?


Thanks,

Reto

Reto,


Yes, before flashing u-boot, the mtds definition must be corrected. Since you don't care about stock OS, NAND can be partitioned in the similar way as the sheevaplug. As long as mtd0 is 1MB then u-boot will be OK (the ix4-200d NAND size is different from the sheevaplug so the mtdparts below is sightly different).

- Reboot with kwboot again.

- At the serial console, interrupt u-boot and

setenv rootfstype ext3
setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),-(rootfs)'

- Go ahead and boot

boot

- After booting into Debian, verify the /etc/fw_env.config

cat /etc/fw_env.config

# MTD device name	Device offset	Env. size	Flash sector size	Number of sectors
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

- And mtds should show 3 correct size mtds here (1MB, 4MB, 27MB for a total of 32MB)

cat /proc/cmdline
cat /proc/mtd

At this point you can flash both u-boot image and u-boot env image as instructed. Remember to follow the instruction closely and copy/paste the commands.

If you like to confirm everything is OK, post the entire log of the session above here.

I see some differences in the erase results. Is this due to different unit sizes?

Reto,

The problem was due to mtdparts still defined incorrectly. You did not verify your mtdparts as instructed above. So repeat this procedure.

- Reboot with kwboot again.

- At the serial console, interrupt u-boot and

setenv rootfstype ext3
setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),-(rootfs)'

- Go ahead and boot

boot

- After booting into Debian, verify the /etc/fw_env.config

cat /etc/fw_env.config

- And print out mtds definition

cat /proc/cmdline
cat /proc/mtd

Stop here and post the entire log of the session above (everything in your serial console log from the kwboot command).

Reto,

It does look OK as far as mtd0 is concerned.

root@debian:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config
# MTD device name	Device offset	Env. size	Flash sector size	Number of sectors
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

root@debian:~# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 rootfstype=ext2 mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),-(rootfs)

root@debian:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00004000 "u-boot"

However, the instruction assume the NAND partition definition is like other Kirkwood plugs, where the block size is 128K.

cat /proc/mtd 
dev: size erasesize name 
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"

So the block erase size is different. It means the u-boot flash instruction and the fw_env.config need to be adjusted. We'll need to confirm if the NAND erase block size is really 16K (0x4000). I think, to be sure you will need to see the mtd definition after booting to stock OS. If we can confirm that it is the right size, then I will post new instruction for flashing.

Bodhi, I have no stock OS. This is why I opened this thread...

Does this tell us something?

Erase Total 4 Units
Performing Flash Erase of length 16384

16384 / 4 units = 4096 = 4k ?

Reto,

Boot with kwboot again, interrupt u-boot and

flinfo

Bodhi, flinfo unknown command...

See if anything from this thread can confirm the size:

If not, we'll gonna flash it based on current information. Your NAND is empty anyway! it can't hurt.

There is nothing about the erase size block... My flash is empty, so let's give it a try. What would the modified commands be?

Reto,

Let's try this:

flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 32
nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.2015-tld-1.sheevaplug.mtd0.kwb

flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0xc0000 8
nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2014.07-tld-3.environment.img

And please post output here before reboot.
