Hi, sorry for this dumb question but I'm a total newbie!
This releases are for "normal" plug, or plug modified with "sheevaplug installer alpha-6"?
thanks

Hi,

Thanks! What should the u-boot bootcmd look like to use this?

Hi,

I think I can answer my own question...

This works, I think:

bootargs=rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fb00000@0x500000(rootfs) rw root=/dev/mtdblock1 rw ip=192.168.1.9:192.168.1.4:192.168.1.4:255.255.255.0:DB88FXX81:eth0:none

bootcmd=nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000


Thanks,
Mike

Any Sheeva plug can use the kernels.  The sheevaplug alpha-6 installer uses an earlier version of my kernel, so some of the steps in the README should already be done by the installer.

I think, something is going wrong, here...

I'm using SheevaPlug, installed on MMC

After upgrading to 2.6.30.6, the old kernel 2.6.30.2 is booting.... :-(

Checking old kernel-version and executing README...

FWIW, I just tried to apply the instructions from:

http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php?title=Install_Prebuilt_Kernels_From_sheeva.with-linux.com

to my essentially out-of-the-box plug (I'd set the date, a static IP address that works on my LAN, fixed /etc/rc.local, and installed wget), and I now appear to be stuck here:

The README assumes the kernel is booted from NAND (a stock sheeva boot).  You're using ext2load to load the kernel from a filesystem.  Extract the uImage to your filesystem manually and update your bootcmd with the new uImage filename (unless you want to overwrite your existing /uImage).

FWIW, I just tried to apply the instructions from:

Sounds like either mainlineLinux or arcNumber aren't set.  Did you "saveenv" before "reset"?  From the main console do a "printenv" and make sure everthing is set as per step 10.

[DamonHD]

I'm pretty sure that I did indeed 'saveenv' and the right values seem to be shown by printenv...

[DamonHD]

Ta-da!

Thanks to you implicit encouragement that it *ought* to have worked I found a typo in my bootargs and got further...  Now getting a complaint about root= not being correctly defined, but I can work on that!

Pardon me if this is out of topic here. While searching for it, I came across this thread.

I have done the alpha-6 kernel setup.  Now have moved the kernel and the rootfs to a SDCard and boot consistently from the SDCard (it is much faster boot).

Is there a recipe somewhere how I can upgrade my kernel to a 2.6.30.5 or .6 on the sdcard (without touching the kernel in my nand -- which is the alapha-6-- or anything else in the nand)?  I have some interest in trying wireless, bluetooth, etc.  I read that these might be beginning to work in the later kernels...  Thank you!

As a convenience I've updated README-2.6.30.6 with a "--rootkernel" option that will write the kernel to to root without writing to nand.  You'll still need to update your bootcmd or create a symlink to /uImage.

[CqCn]

Thank you very much!

[nephilim1973]

Many thanks for the new "--rootkernel"-feature !

But there is still a little problem existing:

Code:

USB 0: host mode
PEX 0: interface detected no Link.
Net:   egiga0 [PRIME], egiga1
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

First, I want to know the settings from "bootcmd"....

Code:

Marvell>> printenv bootcmd
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x800000 /uImage; bootm 0x00800000

Then, I try to change settings to the new uImage...
(sheeva-2.6.30.6-uImage exists in /  )

Code:

Marvell>> setenv bootcmd setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x800000 /sheeva-2.6.30.6-uImage; bootm 0x00800000

After hitting ENTER, error message appears...

Code:

SDHC found. Card desciption is:
Manufacturer:       0x02, OEM "TM"
Product name:       "SD04G", revision 3.8
Serial number:      3056159759

CRC:                0x00, b0 = 0

** Unable to read "/sheeva-2.6.30.6-uImage" from mmc 0:1 **
## Booting image at 00800000 ...
Bad Magic Number
Marvell>>

Probably I am just a step away from solution...   ;-)

Best regards
Bjoern

PS:

You'll still need to update your bootcmd or create a symlink to /uImage.

There's no /uImage by default...
Doing a "find / -name *uImage*" shows nothing but sheeva-2.6.30.6-uImage   :-(

"ln -s /sheeva-2.6.30.6-uImage /uImage" does nothing better... still booting 2.6.30.2

"mmcinit" shows:

Code:

SDHC found. Card desciption is:
Manufacturer:       0x02, OEM "TM"
Product name:       "SD04G", revision 3.8
Serial number:      3056159759

CRC:                0x00, b0 = 0

Probably it should be mmc 0:0, and not mmc 0:1
