Does anyone know of any foolproof method of getting Wheezy running on a
Dreamplug?
I'm running Wheezy on all my DPs.
I believe this requires upgrading U-Boot (to get device-tree support/fix
L2 cache issue?) but when I tried upgrading U-Boot by flashing it from
U-Boot I ended up with an expensive brick. Now this may have been user
error, but I don't want to risk bricking the new DreamPlug I bought
without instructions which are known to work. Or, perhaps the safest
thing is to load a new U-Boot from the old one if that's possible? And
in desperation I may even resort to writing a shim to make the Wheezy
kernel load with the stock U-Boot.
u-boot update process I've used on both older and newer versions of the
DP is as follows;
# Following 3 steps can be done on or off the DP
# Modify to suit the u-boot you require
wget http://<fav
mirror>/debian/pool/main/u/u-boot/u-boot_2013.01.01-3_armel.deb
# Modify dest dir as you like
dpkg-deb -x u-boot_2013.01.01-3_armel.deb u-boot_2013.01.01-3_armel
# /mnt here is on any media that you will have access to when booting
the DP
cp -r u-boot_2013.01.01-3_armel/usr/lib/u-boot/dreamplug /mnt
# On the DP
usb start
# Modify to ext2load if req and modify dev:part as req
fatload usb 0:3 0x6400000 dreamplug/u-boot.kwb
sf probe 0
sf erase 0x0 0x80000
# 0x3AB9C = size of u-boot.kwb
sf write 0x6400000 0x0 0x3AB9C
That's it. If it didn't work for you then possible user error? File size
error?
But you don't need to update u-boot specifically for Wheezy. You don't
need FDT support either.
If you have squeeze you could just upgrade.
Or am I missing something?
