After numerous experiments including getting OpenWrt installed, I'm now trying to get uboot.2017.05-tld-2 installed but have got into some difficulties....

Is there a single uBoot which I can use to boot Debian, ArchLinux, OpenWrt and FreeBSD? I would like to have this range of options if possible. I understand the special edition uboot.2017.05-tld-2.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb can be used to boot FreeBSD using bootelf, but can I use this uBoot for the other three?by balanga - uBoot

After switching on my GoFlex Home, the U-Boot msg comes up but there is no ' Stop autoboot in x secs' msg so I can't break in. Is there a variable that sets this?by balanga - uBoot

bodhi, Many thanks, I hadn't noticed that it was attached to that post. Just confirming that I can use a normal text editor, since the first line has some odd characters which might get altered by some editors...to amend the following variables:- ethaddr ipaddr serverip dtb_file Any others?by balanga - uBoot

Many thanks. I'm trying to create a script which will automate the instructions in Step 8 above.

Apologies for that.... I assumed that zapping uBoot would get rid of enviroment variables, and am still not sure where they live. I'm kwbooting with 2017.07-tld-1, is there an accompanying 2017.07-tld-1.environment that I should use? Just noticed that in the instructions you mention a uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.scr which does not exist in the archive. Did you mean uboot.201by balanga - uBoot

How can I tell if I have a uBoot? I may have zapped it in a previous attempt to install OpenWrt. I am currently trying to boot using kwboot with uboot-2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome. The system starts to boot but I don't get as far as a login prompt. The last msg being random: crng init done. Although I have updated uBoot in the past I'm still confused as to how it works.

On another system I successfully changed ipaddr and serverip but ncip did not change. It remained as 10.10.10.5. I also noticed on this system there was also an ncipk which was set to 10.10.10.4. I'm booting using kwboot, but wanted to see the output on a remote system so wanted to use netconsole but it isn't working.by balanga - uBoot

When the saveenv command is issued, is there any indication that it has completed successfully?
