|
|
Howdy. I'm following this: http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/sheevaplug/install.xml . Everything works swimmingly on my new GuruPlug Server Plus, until...
Code: | Starting kernel ...
Uncompressing Linux..............................................................................
Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000a29).
Available machine support:
ID (hex) NAME
00000690 Marvell DB-88F6281-BP Development Board
00000691 Marvell RD-88F6192-NAS Development Board

00000831 Marvell SheevaPlug Reference Board
0000085b QNAP TS-119/TS-219
Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader. |
Can the kernel and image be updated to handle this new hardware from GlobalScale? Thanks!  _________________

See Documentation this case is described there, you must set some Options in uboot to boot a standard kernel.
Received mine today, but no time to start.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures, you should get more help here. _________________ Search | Read | Answer | Report | Strip |

Did you do the "Setting needed kernel-related variables" part?
If so, paste here the 'printenv' output of u-boot. |

Sadly, we got new results, but not the goal. This is on the two-GigE port/wifi/bluetooth "GuruPlug Server Plus".

Would you like the kernel config included in the Ubuntu out-of-the-box install? _________________

I tried following the howto here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~armin76/arm/sheevaplug/install.xml
...that worked swimmingly on my old Sheevaplugs, but with my new Guruplug it just loads the various bits from the TFTP server, and reboots itself:

Since this kind of thing usually begets requests for the output of printenv, I'll include that too:

@searchingfortao: Did you upgrade u-boot?
Try not setting the arcNumber stuff.
Doing this blindly is a bit hard  |

I'm sorry, I went through the process and thought that I was having a new problem unrelated to the u-boot upgrade but still in the same train of thought. Turns out that I had the "image_name" set to the wrong thing (no idea why) and that got me to the same spot as everyone else on this thread.
I haven't found an adequate howto for upgrading u-boot though. I can't get into the factory-shipped O/S (ubuntu) 'cause I can't remember the environment variables to do it, so I'm left with trying to do it with USB or TFTP. The howto I found though appear to be for an even older version of u-boot since it referred to using a command called "bubt" which doesn't appear to exist in the version I'm using. Can you point me to a good tutorial somewhere? |

Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2010 3:15 pm Post subject: Solution (easy u-boot update) |
|
|
The solution is actually quite simple, I just used this here and afterwards booted my new GuruPlug without problems. Do the following steps after setting up the IP adresses:
Code: | tftp 0x6400000 uboot.guruplug.bin
nand erase 0x0 0x100000
nand write.e 0x6400000 0x0 0x100000
|
* After the uboot burning is done, reset the board
* Then, you may have to set and save all the environment variables again
Afterwards, your GuruPlug should boot with Armin76's kernel.
The source for the instructions is http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Reflashing_images_on_the_GuruPlug, last section... |
