Installing new u-boot for NSA310S (8 replies)

Update!

I took the risk/plunge and upgraded to your uboot on my NSA310S (I'm planning on doing the old NSA310, Is it A or B, I can't tell which I have, it's the one with the lm85 sensor. It's the original one).

It was a bit hairy in places as I kept getting CRC errors when running fw_printenv in Debian, but looked on another thread in which you told someone else to ignore it, but anyway..

Does this output look okay?

I'm pretty sure I've missed something out as there is a ton of errors. I haven't reconfigured the drive yet so that'll explain the missing files.

Bodhi, Could you answer these questions for me please? :)

• Do I need to set the mtdparts? If so, how do I set them correctly? I'm not sure of the values.
• Can I load my kernel/Initrd images like on the stock uboot [fatload usb 0 0x800000 uImage] or is the placement [0x80000] different? Am I still limited to images to a max of 3.1mb?
• I'm guessing I need to set the IP address/mac, anything else :p?
• Recovery on a failed boot? I'm not sure how I go about this, do I need to set something for it to work? :p

Many thanks for your help & work on these devices! I'm tempted to try my ix2-ng next!
