cover Olimex A20 OlinuXino updates

Hi,

here's a series of updates to the Olimex OlinuXino A20 board support in Buildroot.

Patches 1 and 5 are just cleanups.

Patches 2-4 revive the -MICRO board by upgrading the kernel and U-Boot and enabling DHCP autoconfiguration.

Patch 6 enables genimage to generate an SD card image. It also documents how to write the SD, but the old, manual SD writing instructions are not removed since they are still needed for the -LIME and -LIME2 boards.

Everything up to here is build- and run-time tested. Following patches are build-tested only since I don't own these boards.

Patches 7 and 8 enable genimage for the other two boards, and patch 9 removes the manual SD card writing instructions.

Francois, Jan, or anybody having acces to these boards, if you could test patches 7 and 8 report whether they work, you would help in making simpler and more uniform the support for the whole family of boards. Thanks!

Luca

PATCH 4/9 olimex_a20_olinuxino_micro: initialize the network with DHCP

To allow a more complete "out-of-the-box" startup with the defconfig, enable automatic network configuration of eth0 using DHCP.

These defconfig options are set to their default values, so they are redundant and can be removed without effect.

What about the dtb file? The other Allwinner based boards store this in a first vfat partition.

U-Boot grabs it from the /boot directory on the ext4 partition:

$ cat board/olimex/a20_olinuxino/boot.cmd
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait panic=10 ${extra}
ext4load mmc 0 0x49000000 /boot/${fdtfile}
ext4load mmc 0 0x46000000 /boot/zImage
env set fdt_high ffffffff
bootz 0x46000000 - 0x49000000
$

This behaviour has always been in place for the A20 OLinuXino series. This patch does not change how these boards boot, it just automates the manual writing instructions with genimage.

PATCH 9/9 olimex_a20_olinuxino_*: remove old SD writing instructions

In reply to Luca Ceresoli

Now that all the boards have been converted to use genimage, the old instructions on how to partition and write an SD card are useless.

cover Olimex A20 OlinuXino updates

In reply to Luca Ceresoli

Quoted 18 lines

Hi,

here's a series of updates to the Olimex OlinuXino A20 board support in Buildroot.

Patches 1 and 5 are just cleanups.

Patches 2-4 revive the -MICRO board by upgrading the kernel and U-Boot and enabling DHCP autoconfiguration.

Patch 6 enables genimage to generate an SD card image. It also documents how to write the SD, but the old, manual SD writing instructions are not removed since they are still needed for the -LIME and -LIME2 boards.

Everything up to here is build- and run-time tested. Following patches are build-tested only since I don't own these boards.

Quoted 8 lines

Patches 7 and 8 enable genimage for the other two boards, and patch 9 removes the manual SD card writing instructions.

Francois, Jan, or anybody having acces to these boards, if you could test patches 7 and 8 report whether they work, you would help in making simpler and more uniform the support for the whole family of boards. Thanks!

another cleanup, in configs/olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime2_defconfig these 3 lines could be removed:
BR2_PACKAGE_SUNXI_TOOLS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_SUNXI_BOARDS=y BR2_PACKAGE_SUNXI_BOARDS_FEX_FILE="a20/a20-olinuxino_lime.fex"

there are only needed with a linux-sunxi kernel, like in configs/olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali_defconfig

Indeed. Care to send a patch to do this?
