Hi all,
OK first attempt to update uboot on Gordan's ex Guruplug was not a
great success. Found an updated uboot - flashed onto the GP result
'bricked'
:-(
So crash learning expereince on openocd an a trip to GlobalScales site
to get the original - net result right back where I started on Friday.
Round 2: downlaoded the uboot source from its site, and attempted to
compile it on a fedora VM. However, it needs an arm toolchain.
So, somewhat chastened, can I build the uboot using an RPI or will it
have to be a kirkwood based chip?
The SoC on the build machine isn't important. If you are running
something like RSEL7 on your Pi, you should be able to build
u-boot from mainline source, provided mainline supports the device
in question.
The next issue is how to structure the install to make use of the
512MB internal RAM - It is a bit too big for a boot partition, but not
really big enough for a home patition.
Personally I always leave the on-board NAND well alone. I never saw
much point of using it.
