Re: 2023.04 U-Boot MVEBU -- Armada 38x - 2 days ago

Brian, Yes, this u-boot is a bit old for the new DS116 boot.scr. Try creating the script like you did here https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,133945,140004#msg-140004 And boot automatically.

Brian, Let me write the flashing instruction (in the next few days or weeks if I can). It will save you some headache :) there is an established procedure what to do when you flash new u-boot and envs image. You could also post what you think you need to do next and I'll comment on it. But now that you know you can recover the box with kwboot, you could experiment. > Maybe we al

Brian, Download the attached uboot.2025.07-rc5-tld-1.ds116.boot.scr and copy it to your rootfs /boot. I also attached the boot.cmd used to create the boot.scr. cd /boot cp -a uboot.2025.07-rc5-tld-1.ds116.boot.scr boot.scr sync and run kwboot, reboot the box.

Booting Kirkwood SoC NAS with stock u-boot - 5 days ago

Boot Kirkwood rootfs with stock u-boot Check this u-boot release thread to see if there is new u-boot support for your box. If not then this is the instruction for how to boot Debian. There are 3 methods. Pick one that your stock u-boot supports. Method 1 is the preferred procedure. 1. Booting with stock u-boot that supports usb, ext2load, and run commands 2.

You can set the correct MAC address 2 different ways: a. Use the attached script to set it to ethaddr after it booted. Put this set_persistent_mac_address scrip

Attached is the latest uboot for DS116. It's only a few days before the mainline u-boot 2025.07 will be released, so I'd expect there will be no significant change upstream. uboot.2025.07-rc5-tld-1.ds116.kwb sha256: a161d56317ee9f0cb8e883ed81b61e4796f6a82ee114c7f276d24b15389ff760

Re: Debian on Synology DS112 v10j - 20 days ago

BayPanard, Thanks! looks like I need to rebase this u-boot to 2025.07-x to make sure we don't miss other indirect bugs. The good thing is what we found out about "unable to assign mbus window for io" error is a real bug and I will send that patch to U-Boot. The difficulty is the Linux driver for MVEBU PCI is quite different from the U-Boot version. So even though we know it&#
