Hello,

read kwboot to serial load the bootloader.


mvebu64boot for mocchabin.


The GlobalScaleTechnologies devices are really non-brickables (by software and system sides) devices since the sheevaplugs...

Not quite affordable but really nice for development board.

High level deloppers skill may be needed because of long times bugs in the developpment and upstreamed actions.


I am in work on a linux python swisstool for them and will share soon some code and tips.

I also look on integration for a personal solution already POCed from years but still in heavy development for end users...


I can shared some experiences of my tests, somes are on my blog CyberMind.FR.

I already boot UEFI on EspressoBin and tried IPFire and also reborn the EnigmaBox Suite (that I will also refresh and share on GitHub).

I get twoBoot UEFI tried recently and now think about multi boot and auto recovery.


I work on this from years for a Home Security and IOT Gateway device.


Still in think to get another OS than OpenWrt, may be a Debian or ARMBian refork, and also something more sexy for end users devices with a prettier WebUI.


A lot of manufacturers works with these Marvell SoC, like RaidSonic, NetGear, GLInet, Logitech SqueezeBox, French ISP Free.FR, ...


Stay tuned...


Cheers.

Have a nice day,

PS; I get a mass crash on all my IT, so my notes are somewhere, my codes and POC also, if any question about GST devices are still pending, do not hesitate to ask, I will help with pleasure...


PPS; I have no affiliation with GST, I just like these Marvell Based devices, still too much innovative.

GuruPlugs get ZigBee in very first and now MocchaBin gets the MikroPik BUS !

SheevaPlugs still runs Debian in a 24/24, 7/7 without any issues...


PPPS; sorry for the little out of topic, but still mainly in the Subject about EspressoBin.

Sorry for noise...

        I was running OpenWRT on mine a few years ago. Wrote a blog
        post about
        handling U-Boot build and update:

        This device is probably still supported in U-Boot so you
        should be able
        to build current one. But you have Armbian one so I would
        expect it to
        be able to boot Debian in some way.
