bootloader and reset the bootloader environment variables
TFTP server setup
- Setup PC with TFTP server set the PC IP to 10.4.50.5 as TFTP server
- Copy these files to TFTP server location
- u-boot.kwb
- seagate_blackarmor-nas220-initramfs-uImage
- seagate_blackarmor-nas220-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- seagate_blackarmor-nas220-squashfs-factory.bin
Seagate NAS setup
- Connect LAN cable between PC and seagate device
- Connect to serial to seagate device
Install u-boot
- Boot seagate device and stop in bootloader by pressing any key
- run 'printenv' from u-boot and save the values
- tftpboot 0x2000000 u-boot.kwb
- nand erase.part uboot
- nand write 0x2000000 0x0 ${filesize}
- reset
Update MAC address in u-boot env
- Stop in u-boot by pressing any key
- Get your MAC address from your saved printenv. Is also on chassis
- setenv ethaddr <your MAC>
- saveenv
Option 1 (recommended) - Install OpenWrt via initramfs and sysupgrade
- tftpboot 0x2000000 seagate_blackarmor-nas220-initramfs-uImage
- bootm 0x2000000
- *OpenWrt should be running now, however it is not written to flash yet*
- From the running instance of OpenWrt use Luci's "flash image" feature
from the web site or use sysupgrade from the console to write
seagate_blackarmor-nas220-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to flash
Option 2 - Install OpenWrt by flashing factory image from u-boot
- nand erase.part ubi
- tftpboot 0x2000000 seagate_blackarmor-nas220-squashfs-factory.bin
- nand write 0x2000000 ubi ${filesize}
- reset

the uboot of nsa310 cannot use the network chip
as it is a realtek on the PCIe lanes and not a
Marvell ethernet from the SoC.
Therefore tftp is not possible on this device
and the only way to install is by loading files
from a USB drive.
If the USB subsystem is dead there is no way to
install OpenWrt.
Enable sata support and commands so it can be
used as a fallback in case of USB issues.

Update U-Boot to current 2020.04 release for kirkwood platform.

With current uboot default configuration the bootloader will
fail to start the OpenWrt firmware with the following error:
-----
unexpected character 'b' at the end of partition
Error initializing mtdparts!
incorrect device type in ubi
Partition ubi not found!
Error, no UBI device/partition selected!
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
Error occured, error code = 112
-----
If the uboot configuration is examined with printenv
I can see that mdtparts line (on a nsa310) is wrong:
-----
mtdparts=mtdparts=orion_nand:0x0c0000(uboot),
0x80000(uboot_env),0x7ec0000(ubi)bootargs_root=
----
The "bootargs_root=" that was appended to it should not be there.
Fix the issue by adding a \0 line terminator at the end of affected lines,
mimicking what is also done by uboot upstream.
This issue was detected and confirmed on a nsa310, nsa325 and
a pogoplug v4, but it's not hardware-specific, so apply the same fix
to other devices as well.
Note that the issue is with the uboot's integrated boot configuration,
which is not used unless the uboot configuration in flash is unavailable
(erased or corrupted), which happens only on first time installation,
or if the user deletes the uboot configuration when upgrading uboot.
People just upgrading from an older uboot without erasing their previous
uboot configuration stored in flash would not have noticed this issue.

add an uboot able to boot a kernel in an ubi partition
This uboot also has a "recovery" feature, before
booting from flash it will try to boot a initramfs
image called "initramfs.bin" from a FAT32-formatted
USB drive connected to the USB 2.0 port.
(u-boot lacks drivers for usb 3.0 controllers)
Just rename the initramfs image and place it on
the usb drive, the uboot will load it.
In case there is no USB drive or no such file
is found, the uboot will boot from internal flash.
The whole check takes less than a second, boot times
are not impacted.

this commit allows to make a standalone u-boot for nsa310b.
While both first-stage and second-stage u-boot work fine if
installed to flash or loaded with kwboot,
I could not get stock u-boot nor bodhi's u-boot to chainload
any second stage u-boot (I also tried with dockstar's uboot
that works fine on this device if loaded with kwboot).

This patch modifies the u-boot config for the Pogoplug E02 to work with
OpenWrt. It also enables building a second stage bootloader image.
Signed-off-by: Felix Kaechele <heffer@fedoraproject.org>
SVN-Revision: 40828
Tested on:
* Cloud Engines Pogoplug E02
* RaidSonic ICY BOX IB-NAS62x0
* Iomega Iconnect
Some users are avoiding to replace their bootloader, because of that add
support for second stage u-boot image. Having ubifs capable bootloader is
required in order to boot current OpenWrt trunk.
Sample ib62x0 commands for running second stage bootloader:
tftpboot 0x800000 uboot-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage/openwrt-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage-u-boot.img
bootm 0x800000
Sample ib62x0 commands for flashing second stage bootloader:
tftpboot 0x800000 uboot-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage/openwrt-kirkwood-ib62x0_second_stage-u-boot.img
nand erase 0x100000 0x100000 ; nand write 0x800000 0x100000 0x${filesize}
nand read 0x800000 0x100000 0x100000 ; bootm 0x800000
While at it include parallel build support, use alphabetic order of the boards
and introduce common OpenWrt configuration.
