-====== Extending U-Boot support for Orion SoC  ======+====== U-Boot support for Orion SoCs  ======
  
 ===== Overview ===== ===== Overview =====
  
-The Orion family of SoCs includes the following machines:+See our [[uboot|U-Boot main page]].
  
-  * Buffalo/Revolution Kurbox Pro +===== To-do list =====
-  * Buffalo/Revolution Linkstation Mini +
-  * Buffalo/Revolution Terastation Pro II/Live +
-  * Lacie ED Mini V2 +
-  * Lacie Internet Space V1 (V2 uses kirkwood) +

-  * Maxtor Shared Storage II +
-  * QNAP TS-109/TS-209 +
-  * QNAP TS-409 +
-  * Technologic Systems TS-78xx+
  
-===== The u-boot-lacie git repo ===== +   * adapt orion5x / edminiv2 or relocation (wip in -next) 
- +   * add initial support for net5big (based upon reloc adaptation) 
-[[http://git.lacie-nas.org/?p=u-boot-lacie.git;a=summary|This repo]] provides two branches: +   * add initial support for net2big (based upon reloc adaptation) 
- +   * add I2C support to net5big 
-  * **master** is kept up-to-date by merging the master branches of custodian repo that have orion5x-related commits. +   * add PCI support to net5big 
-  * **testing** is master plus patches that have not yet made it into  any custodian's u-boot repo. +   * add SATA over PCI support to net5big
- +
-WARNING: testing is **//volatile//**: it may roll back on a patch that eventually proved bad, or move sideways from one version of a patch to another. Its history will be shaky. Hey, this is a //testing// branch. On the other hand, master will only be a merge of custodian trees, so you can reasonably expect it to contain commits that //will// end up in mainline u-boot. +

-===== Update from LaCie to mainline ===== +
- +
-This section present step by step how to update the stock U-Boot with a mainline version. Both a serial or a network console can be used to connect to U-Boot. For this how-to, the netconsole way is preferred because the user don't have to build/buy a serial cable. +
- +
-  * Run [[CLUNC|clunc]] and connect to the LaCie U-Boot console. +
- +
-  $ ./clunc -i <NAS_IP> +
- +
-  * Setup a tftp server and install the new u-boot image in the tftp directory (could be /var/tftpboot). +
- +
-  $ wget ftp://ftp.lacie-nas.org/u-boot/u-boot-netspace_v2.kwb -O /var/tftpboot/u-boot-netspace_v2.kwb +
- +
-  * Configure some U-Boot network environment variables. In the following example, replace ''${serverip}'' with the tftp server IP address and replace ''${ipaddr}'' with a valid and free IP address. +
- +
-  Marvell>> setenv ipaddr ${ipaddr}; setenv serverip ${serverip} +
- +
-  * Flash the new U-Boot image. +
- +
-  Marvell>> bubt u-boot-netspace_v2.kwb +
-  Using egiga0 device +
-  TFTP from server 192.168.0.13; our IP address is 192.168.0.17 +
-  Filename 'u-boot-new.kwb'. +
-  Load address: 0x2000000 +
-  Loading: ########################################## +
-  done +
-  Bytes transferred = 214220 (344cc hex) +
-  Un-Protect Flash Monitor space +
-   +
-  **Warning** +
-  If U-Boot Endiannes is going to change (LE->BE or BE->LE), Then Env parameters should be overriden.. +
-  Override Env parameters? (y/n) n +
-  Erase 0 - 125 sectors... +
-  ................................................................. +
-  ............................................................. +
-  Copy to Flash... done +
-  Protect Flash Monitor space +
- +
-  * Restart. +
- +
-  Marvell>> reset +
- +
-  * Install the U-Boot **netconsole** tool.+
    
-Note that U-Boot mainline don't provide a magic packet mechanism to configure the IP address. It means that [[CLUNC|clunc]] becomes useless from this point. The netconsole configuration rely on some environment variables: **ipaddr**, **ncip**, **stdin**, **stdout** and **stderr** (for more information,  please refer to the file README.NetConsole included in U-Boot sources). After the update, this variables will be initialized with the default (or built-in) values: the IP address is 192.168.1.111 and the netconsole is configured to broadcast messages. As a consequence, the server IP **must belong** to the subnetwork 192.168.1.0. Moreover **netcat** don't handle the broadcast messages. Instead, the U-Boot tools **netconsole** and **ncb** must be used.

-  * Connect to U-Boot via netconsole and interrupt boot process (Ctrl-C).

-  $ ./tools/netconsole 192.168.1.111
