Hello all,
I've just installed debian onto my SD-card. However, I am unable to
add a uboot entry. I am assuming i'm missing something basic and am
hoping for your input. I already tried the configure-uboot.sh script,
and although it exits without an error, it does not add or modify any
entries in the uboot menu. I also tried to do it manually by accessing
the bootloader prompt, in which I issued the following commands:
setenv menu_2 Boot from microSD part2 (ext2+ext2): setenv bootargs
\${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5
\${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1 0x3200
\${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x3200
saveenv
neo1973 power-off
With, of course, some printenv commands in between to verify the entry
does indeed show up. This all works as expected. I get a menu_2 entry
and the Freerunner powers down. However, when i go back into the uboot
menu, the entry does not show up and when i go into the console it is
gone too.
Does anybody have any idea what i'm doing wrong here?
You don't mention whether you're using the NAND or NOR version of uboot.
If you used the NOR version (Aux then Power) then the changes wouldn't
be saved because it is the failsafe bootloader. If you used the NAND
version (Power then Aux) then it should have saved. The commands look
right from memory, assuming your uboot is recent enough to support
ext2load, but I may have missed something.
