One good uniform way to install a guru/sheeva wanted

[ppmt]

Just to relaunch the subject a bit and may be complete Kide tutorial

So I am not running the latest debian from my microSD and all is good.

I have Freeswtich compiled on it and installed Backuppc and all is rocking.

But I realised that I am now missiong functionnalities. Mainly wifi and bluetooth.

Any idea how I could get that to work? Do I need to compile something?

[KidE]

sorry for replying so late.

wifi can be enabled by copying the firmware files.

Just download the kernel sources and copy them over to the requested directory and give them the right name.

do dmesg | grep firmware and youĺl find what you looking for.  i have to get back on bluetooth here.

Hi KidE

that's the beauty of the internet. A late night for you is an early morning for someone else.

when you say download the soruce you mean from here

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/source/

I will try to look and understand it.

thanks for the late answer

Has anyone actually figured out what causes the problem where u-boot gets to "Done, booting the kernel" and then hangs?  I didn't use the installer or any OpenOCD stuff, but I still get this message about 30% of the time.  The other 70% of the time, the plug boots normally (without having changed anything, same kernel, u-boot version and u-boot parameters).  I'm booting off a microSD card using flipflip's u-boot, with the following relevant u-boot vars...

In my case, it seems that it only hangs when the GuruPlug has not been running.  I plug it in, and it hangs as described above.  Power cycle and it hangs again.  After 2-7 attempts and 3-5 minutes, it will boot correctly.  Once the plug has been operating for a little while (10 minutes?), then every time I do "shutdown -r now" it will reboot without a hitch.  I've tried these tests a few times, and that pattern seems pretty consistent.  Still don't know why. 

I'm running GuruPlug Server Plus, using flipflip's u-boot, booting off a USB stick with fatload.  This didn't happen with the stock u-boot and kernel, but then Wi-Fi client mode wasn't stable, either...  The stock kernel doesn't seem to boot at all any more, not sure what is up with that, but I probably won't worry about that.

I have the same issue here. Sometimes it boot and sometimes it doesn't
I cant wrap my head around it but it must have something to do with the uboot version i think.

Regarding the kernel && firmware

iWhat i did is i copied the firmware files from my ubuntu machine to the plug.

On my ubuntu machine it look like:

Code:

/lib/firmware/libertas/cf8385.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/cf8385_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/gspi8682.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/gspi8682_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/gspi8686_v9.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/gspi8686_v9_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/gspi8688.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/gspi8688_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8385.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8385_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8682.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8682_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8686_v8.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8686_v8_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8686_v9.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8686_v9_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8688.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/sd8688_helper.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/usb8388_v5.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/usb8388_v9.bin
/lib/firmware/libertas/usb8682.bin

i used the V9 type and renamed them to the requested name.

(if Jesus would have know the Internet he would have made the bible OpenSource) 

[ppmt]

This is probably a stupid question but...what is the v9? is it thev9 in ArmV9?

isn't the plug a v7?

[rthinman]

The pattern I'm seeing with this boot hanging problem feels like a temperature issue.  It won't boot correctly until the machine has warmed up, then it works every time.  I'm just speculating here, but something in the (new) boot process perhaps depends on some part of the hardware operating at a particular speed, and that doesn't happen until the plug has been consuming energy for a little while, warming up.  In my case, with an ambient temperature of 21C (70F), that seems to be about 5-8 minutes.

5) Boot the guruplug via OpenOCD

Code:

sudo ./openocd -f ./board/guruplug.cfg -c init -c guruplug_load_uboot -c exit

Hello, I've tested your tutorial, cos I have a bricked guru server. I use Ubuntu:

Code:

Linux ssoler-MS-1057 2.6.38-10-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 28 15:05:41 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

and I can't success to load uboot.elf. My output have three different msgs:
