U-Boot for Device-Tree Kernel (no replies)

$

I'm starting this thread to gather info about getting newer u-Boot builds to enable booting Flattened Device Tree (FDT) kernel (3.5 and later).

U-Boot 2013.01 has most of the board definitions, except for GoFlex Net/Home and Pogoplug Mobile/V4.

So we do have supports for these Kirkwood boxes (perhaps also other Kirkwwod boxes)
- Goflex Net/Home (with patch)
- iConnect
- Dockstar
- Pogo E02
- Sheevaplug


Status:

1. GoFlex Net/Home:

  • So far I got a patched version of U-Boot 2013.01 running with FDT-enabled kernel 3.6.11 on a GoFlex Net. This was using the patch that rpress post here.
  • Currently I'm having problem with netconsole. The 2nd character in a command always got dropped, and working around it by repeating the 2nd char in a command (e.g. seetnv) enabled it to execute correctly. However, kernel just hang after executing boot command.

2. Pogoplug E02:

  • So far I got a patched version of U-Boot 2013.01 running with non-FDT kernel 3.6.11 on a Pogo E02. We don't have Debian FDT board patch for Pogo E02 yet.
  • It exibits the same netconsole problem as in GoFlex Net version.
