Developers needed to help enhance the A10 u-boot
July 22, 2012 08:21AM
I just compiled the A10 SD card u-boot with a new default environment. The existing one was a joke. But a lot of work is still needed for the A10 u-boot. It has none of the functionality of ours. Here is what is needed:
  • Add scripts to autoload different hardware configs (script.bin)
  • Add scripts for ext2load alongside the existing fatload
  • Add support for the PHY (Ethernet commands such as ping, tftp, etc.)
  • Add support for the USB subsystem (needs low-level h/w support)
  • Add support for the SATA subsystem (needs low-level h/w support)

Any help would greatly be appreciated by LOTS of people, and it will be a fun challenge ;)

Anybody interested can get the existing u-boot code here

uEnv.txt is now supported by the default environment, and boot.scr

The PHY is a usb PHY and is MII compatible.
The SATA system is direct.. and I will have to look into it.

Great! We need more people working on that.

Then why do the MII commands not work?

Most likely: it's not powered on.
