The flash layout on the Storlink reference design for Gemini
is using 2 MB flash for the kernel, and it also insists on
overwriting the partition table with default values on every
boot. The same is true for the SQ201. This poses a problem
on recent OpenWrt firmware as the base zImage is bigger
than 2 MB.
At the same time there is a ramdisk partition of 6 MB that we
don't really need. The partition table looks like this:
Creating 7 MTD partitions on "30000000.flash":
0x000000000000-0x000000016000 : "BOOT"
0x000000120000-0x000000320000 : "Kern"
0x000000320000-0x000000920000 : "Ramdisk"
0x000000920000-0x000000f20000 : "Application"
0x000000f20000-0x000000f40000 : "VCTL"
0x000000f40000-0x000000fe0000 : "CurConf"
0x000000fe0000-0x000001000000 : "FIS directory"
On boot the "Kern" partition is copied to RAM @0x01600000
and the "Ramdisk" partition is copied to RAM @0x00800000.
Then the kernel is executed.
The idea with this patch is to extend the "Kern" partition
with the "Ramdisk" partition to get a full 8 MB to use
for the kernel. Then we put the OpenWrt JFFS2 rootfs
inside the "Application" partition.
We create a small assembly loop that we prepend to the
"Kern" image that will copy the "Kern" from 0x0160000
and the "Ramdisk" from 0x00800000 and put them in
consecutive space at 0x00400000 and execute it from
there, using "Application" as rootfs.
We generate 3 main files:
- zImage - contains the assembly bootstrap loop and
the first part of the generated kernel image
- rd.gz - contains the second part of the generated
kernel image
- hddapp.tgz - contains the root filesystem
On the SQ201 I flash these manually using the native boot
loader PLATO, "Y" alternative for the zImage, "R" for
the rd.gz image and "A" for hddapp.tgz.
This works fine and I can now boot to prompt on the SQ201
with nothing but flash.

This package just contains a small Gemini-only assembler
bootstrap loop to copy the kernel from the two fragments
(previously zImage at 0x01600000 and initramdisk at 0x00800000)
into one big zImage of up to 8 MB at 0x00400000.
It will be built on demand from the Gemini image Makefile.

The command line enforced by the kernel is harmful, we want to
use the command line passed from the device tree. This is
especially important for the SQ201, Teltonika RUT and WBD111
which has a console set to 115200n8 and not 19200n8 like all
the others, so their consoles will be confusingly changing
baudrate between boot loader and kernel. The setting in the
device tree corresponds to what the boot loader is using.

Using the same method as the D-Link DAP-2695 A1 we use
the "mtd" tool to augment the firmware checkum in flash
on first boot of a new firmware on the D-Link DIR-685.
We need to augment the Makefile for "mtd" to build in
the special WRGG fixup support for Gemini as well.
This works around the problem of the machine not booting

We currently generate a kernel that boots from the harddrive
in the DIR-685. That's not how we usually do things, so
let's augment it to boot from flash and mount the rootfs
using squashfs and JFFS2 like everyone else.
Partition splitting only work when the partitions are
inside of a "partitions" node which is why we have a patch
like this (submitted upstream).
Another patch drops the rootfs arguments and renames the
firmware partition while adding the compatible "wrg"
to it so the WRGG parser will kick in.
Factory image was tested by bravely reflashing the DIR-685
from stock firmware using the web UI and the serial console
boot loader.

This makes OpenWrt build an Ext2+Ext4 partitioned image
for the D-Link DNS-313 with two blank partitions, a boot
partition on /dev/sda3 and a rootfs partition on
/dev/sda4.
This uses the methods already used in apm821xx including
the tricks to convert the generated Ext2 filesystem
partition to version 1 so that the firmware bootloader
will properly recognize it.
We patch a bit around the build files to make sure we
get the rootfs size set and that genext2fs is properly
built.
