| ******************** WARNING ******************** |
| The compiled U-Boot binary is intended for NOR flash only! |
| It won't work for NAND or SPI and will brick those bootloaders! |
| |
| Also don't go playing around with different U-boot versions or flash targets |
| unless you've got the necessary hardware and/or know-how to unbrick your kit. |
| |
| 2013.04 is known good for NOR. |
| ******************** WARNING ******************** |
| |
| You'll need to program the files created by buildroot into the flash. |
| The fast way is to tftp transfer the files via one of the network interfaces. |
| |
| Alternatively you can transfer the files via serial console with an Ymodem |
| file transfer from your terminal program by using a "loady" command |
| from the u-boot prompt instead of the "tftp ..." commands stated below. |
| Beware that serial console file transfers are quite slow! |
| |
| Remember to set the P1010RDB switches to NOR boot if you want to use |
| your newly built U-Boot. |
| |
| 1. Program the new U-Boot binary to NOR flash (optional) |
| If you don't feel confident upgrading your bootloader then don't do it, |
| it's unnecessary most of the time. |
| |
| => tftp $loadaddr u-boot.bin |
| => protect off 0xeff80000 +$filesize |
| => erase 0xeff80000 +$filesize |
| => cp.b $loadaddr 0xeff80000 $filesize |
| |
| 2. Program the DTB to NOR flash |
| |
| => tftp $loadaddr p1010rdb.dtb |
| => erase 0xee000000 +$filesize |
| => cp.b $loadaddr 0xee000000 $filesize |
| |
| 3. Program the kernel to NOR flash |
| |
| => tftp $loadaddr uImage |
| => erase 0xee080000 +$filesize |
| => cp.b $loadaddr 0xee080000 $filesize |
| |
| 4. Program the root filesystem to NOR flash |
| |
| => tftp $loadaddr rootfs.jffs2 |
| => erase 0xee800000 0xeff5ffff |
| => cp.b $loadaddr 0xee800000 $filesize |
| |
| 5. Booting your new system |
| |
| => setenv norboot 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2 console=$consoledev,$baudrate;bootm 0xee080000 - 0xee000000' |
| |
| If you want to set this boot option as default: |
| |
| => setenv bootcmd 'run norboot' |
| => saveenv |
| |
| ...or for a single boot: |
| |
| => run norboot |
| |
| You can login with user "root". |
