Ah! I forgot that you still have Arch u-boot envs, not my u-boot default envs. Will revise the instruction above.

Apologies for the truncated lines, I haven't mastered Ubuntu's clipboard yet...

It seems that the system can't load the kernel and I can't work out how to do a directory listing.

I see this line but can't work out where it come from
FreeBSD/arm U-Boot loader, Revision 1.2
Doesn't seem to be in ubldr.

I tried entering some commands at the Loader> prompt but couldn't get any to work. How do I work out the cwd for the Loader> prompt?

> FreeBSD/arm U-Boot loader, Revision 1.2

This means you are running inside ubldr

> \#|#/#-#\#|#/#-#\#can't load 'kernel'

Again, this error indicates that ubldr cannot find the "kernel" to load. An env for that might be missing.

> loader> #[A#[Bls -l boot
> loader> #[A#[Blsdev -v

You can not run a typical Unix/Linus shell command here. uboot loader is a boot loader which has limited capability.

> loader> fdt ls
> No device tree blob found!

This means the DTB file has not been loaded successfully yet.

> It seems that the system can't load the kernel and
> I can't work out how to do a directory listing.

Shut down and insert the FreeBSD rootfs stick to ThinkPad-X61. Mount it if it is not automounted.

Assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1 (in your FreeBSD system it could be at a different mount point).

cd /media/sdb1
ls -l .
ls -l boot
ls -l kernel

BUILTIN	COMMANDS
     In	loader,	builtin	commands take parameters from the command line.
     Presently,	the only way to	call them from a script	is by using evaluate
     on	a string.  If an error condition occurs, an exception will be gener-
     ated, which can be	intercepted using ANS Forth exception handling words.
     If	not intercepted, an error message will be displayed and	the inter-
     preter's state will be reset, emptying the	stack and restoring interpret-
     ing mode.

     The builtin commands available are:

     ls	[-l] [path]
	     Displays a	listing	of files in the	directory path,	or the root
	     directory if path is not specified.  If -l	is specified, file
	     sizes will	be shown too.

Not a good thing to do! just keep them in the original location only.

Which directory is the original?

And output of these?

ls -l .
ls -l boot
ls -l kernel

Again, that's not a good idea. Because ubldr might have the kernel file and DTB file paths hardcoded in it. If it does not use envs to find the files, then the path is likely hardcoded.

Try moving them back to the original location and see if the boot process got further.

Actually I just stumbled upon a missing link

https://cooltrainer.org/freebsd-kirkwood/installation/
Unlike the Sheevaplug and other Kirkwood hardware, the DockStar has a crippled bootloader. 
Luckily, Jeff Doozan maintains a replacement. Install it.

The default setup will attempt to load a Linux kernel image from USB. Change it to search for FreeBSD’s kernel.bin.
 fw_setenv usb_boot 'fatload usb $usb_device 0x900000 kernel.bin; go 0x900000;'
fw_setenv usb_init 'usb start; if fatload usb 0 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 0; elif fatload usb 1 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 1; elif fatload usb 2 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 2; elif fatload usb 3 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 3; elif fatload usb 4 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 4; else run pogo_bootcmd; fi;'

kernel.bin is the name of the kernel produced by the build referred to in this guide https://cooltrainer.org/freebsd-kirkwood/building/


The 'crippled bootloader' mentioned above is this http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/

I'm not sure how old this information is or whether an update is available. Presumably it supports bootelf...

I will post another alternative booting script: uEnv.2.txt.

balanga,

Please repeat this task. Run the ls commands below exactly as they were written.

Shut down and insert the FreeBSD rootfs stick to ThinkPad-X61. Mount it if it is not automounted. Assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1 (in your FreeBSD system it could be at a different mount point).

cd /media/sdb1
ls -l 
ls -lR  ./boot/

1. Post the output of the above commands here at the top of your post.
2. Any follow up discussion/questions should be at the bottom of your post (as the 2nd part of the post).

Did you post an alternative uEnv2.txt?

No, not before I see the output from the above

I'm getting a little confused by the procedure you want me to go through, so I will reiterate what I think it is, just for my own reference and correct me if I have misunderstood something.

1. copy supplied uEnv.txt to /media/sdb1/root/uEnv.txt

2. directory listing of USB FAT partition

3. run './kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/cuaU0 -b uboot.2017.05-tld-2.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p'

4. interupt boot process and enter the following:-
setenv load_bsdenv 'usb start; load usb 0:1 0x810000 /boot/uEnv.txt; env import -t 0x810000 $filesize'
setenv boot_bsd 'run load_bsdenv; boot'

printenv
run boot_bsd

ls -l

drwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    16384 Jul 31 19:52 boot
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     5482 Jul 20 09:45 db88f6281.dtb
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4408164 Jul 30 06:25 kernel
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   280361 Jul 20 09:36 ubldr

ls -lR ./boot/

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  287 Jul 31 13:47 uEnv.txt

Re: Is uBoot OS specific?

balanga,

Yes, that's exactly the procedure.

But in your test, ubldr could not find the kernel file to load, and the DTB was not loaded to the expected address, either.

So that's why I need to see where in your FreeBSD rootfs for GFHome (not the rPi) these 2 files are. Afer that, they should be either scripted in uEnv.txt, or copied to the correct location. It seems ubldr look for these files at a fixed location, not using env.

The following folders needed to be listed:

ls -la .
ls -laR boot
ls -la kernel/
ls -la kernel/kernel

Note that I wrote these commands this way because there might be too many files under kernel directory. Or they might not exist.

If you want, upload your GFHome FreeBSD rootfs somewhere and I'll download and examine it. Important: if you upload, you should upload the rootfs just as you have created it now using FreeBSD build script (no modification to it before uploading).

Or you could just pastebin this, expected to be a long list output:

ls -laR .

The FreeBSD rootfs is on a seperate UFS partition which I presume one of ubldr, kernel or dtb know where to find.

Here's something I found from someone who has produced a guide..

Update the Bootloader

fw_setenv usb_boot 'fatload usb $usb_device 0x900000 kernel.bin; go 0x900000;'
fw_setenv usb_init 'usb start; if fatload usb 0 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 0; elif fatload usb 1 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 1; elif fatload usb 2 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 2; elif fatload usb 3 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 3; elif fatload usb 4 0x900000 kernel.bin; then setenv usb_device 4; else run pogo_bootcmd; fi;'

This looks for various boot devices, but I'm only interested in 1 USB device, and it loads kernel.bin from that device. In my build kernel.bin has been replaced by kernel, but I assume the bootloader must be told the name of the program and where to load it... I'm just guessing here..
