Comment (by openwrtfan):
I tried following the instructions at
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb711, but couldn't get my 711 to
boot via the ramdisk.
Since serial is disabled initially, I couldn't figure out what was wrong
with the boot process (after the ramdisk gets accessed over tftp).
A few questions -
1. What is the significance of this line ?
CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,115200 GPIO_RESET=yes gpio=790341
HZ=200000000 mem=32M board=711 boot=0 mlc=2 rootfstype=yaffs noinitrd"
Is it just needed for enabling serial or it is required to boot properly
?
2. I can see that the patches are being made to the mach-rb750.c file.
Does that module (Mikrotik RB750 support) need to be enabled via 'make
kernel_menuconfig' before compiling ? Or is it compiled/included by
default during make ?
3. There are differing patch files on
(https://openwrt.ayufan.eu/rb711/RB711-v2.diff) and (https://onny
.project-insanity.org/files/rb711-openwrt.patch). Which patch file is the
correct one ? I tried using RB711-v2.diff too, but it failed to patch
cleanly.
Apologies in advance for my newbie questions, but I really want to get
openwrt booting on this thing. I can help with the testing, in anyway
possible.
@onnuex - will it be possible for you to upload the compiled 711 ramdisk
elf somewhere. I can try booting off that and see if I missed something
during compilation.
Thanks.
