Re: uboot version? wiki not accurate

 Hi,

 I'm still using my original uboot version and I think it is time to upgrade.
 Unfortunately the wiki seems not to be accurate, because it states the 
 following:

 The latest bootloader binary builds can be found under
 http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/ .

 All versions of the GTA02 (Neo FreeRunner) that have been sold to the public 
 are
 version 5 hardware, so look for a file with gta02 and v5 in the name, for
 example: uboot-gta02v5-latest.bin

 This is the listing of the above link:

 I assume that gta02v5_and_up-u-boot.bin is the correct image, but how can I 
 be sure?
 Furthermore, what is gta02v5_and_up-lowlevel.bin?
 Is there a stable version of uboot, or are there only daily builds available?

The only thing i can say is that gta02v5_and_up-u-boot.bin is the actual
u-boot firmware. I used this to reflash my u-boot for several times. I
don't know what the lowlevel file is for and i never used it up to now.

how many files with gta02v5 and u-boot  in the name do you see?

Hey,

 how many files with gta02v5 and u-boot  in the name do you see?

One.

How many files do you see with 'latest' in the name?

Is it possible to answer my questions or is the only thing you know how to be
sarcastic?

But I guess you just don't know it either:

What is gta02v5_and_up-lowlevel.bin?
Is there a stable version of uboot, or are there only daily builds available?

this is a fair question. convention would be to post all versions,
with a link that always points to the newest stable version, another
link to the newest unstable version and so on

at the moment, it appears all we get is a daily compiled, latest
version. which necessarily implies it's from the unstable branch.
nightly builds and so on

if you download and flash though, it appears not to have changed since
20 sep iirc, just to have been recompiled against the same code base.
so, maybe it is the latest stable version?

Sarcasm and stating the obvious aside, there used to be an identical file to 
gta02v5_and_up-u-boot.bin that had 'latest' in the name, I assume to avoid 
people asking which one is the latest.

It seems it no longer exists or possibly exists somewhere else.

All that said, everything is pretty fluid at the moment and I've found that as 
long as you know you have a compatible u-boot image, checking the 
creation/modification date is more accurate than assuming somebody is 
maintaining the 'latest' file.

Seeing as the 'lowlevel' image doesn't even contain the word 'u-boot', it's 
really outside the scope of obtaining a relevant u-boot image.

Hope that helps.

Sarton

The lowlevel.bin file is used with the debug board, to initialize the 
Freerunner so that you can upload a copy of u-boot into RAM over JTAG. 
If you don't have a debug board then you can ignore it.
