Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.79
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The SolidRun CuBox has very good support in Mainline Linux.
Thus it is a great candidate for supporting it in Debian.

As I see it there are only 2 blockers right now:
- missing conifg options in the kernel package
- missing entry in flash-kernel

In this bug I'd like to solve the latter.
The board comes with a pretty old version of U-Boot that does support neither bootz nor distro_boot.
This is why we need:
- a custom boot.scr
- uImage with appended DTB
- uInitrd
- a way to set root= cmdline option

I have come up with the database entry below, and this preliminary boot-script:
setenv loadaddr   0x02000000
setenv loadaddrrd 0x20000000
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8
${fstype}load ${device_name} 0:${partition} ${loadaddr} /boot/uImage
${fstype}load ${device_name} 0:${partition} ${loadaddrrd} /boot/uInitrd
bootm $loadaddr $loadaddrrd

I am running U-Boot 2009.08-dirty (Mar 09 2013 - 18:15:45) Marvell version: 5.4.4 NQ SR1.
It comes with a prepopulated bootcmd environment variable that tries out:
- usb sata(ide) mmc
- partitions 1,2
- directores / and /boot
to find a boot.scr.
At the time of loading it, these variables are set accordingly:
device_name, partition, directory, fstype
which can be used in our boot.scr.

One important thing that is missing, is bootargs!
We need to set: console, root, rootfstype, rootwait
- rootfstype could be gathered from fstype
- any ideas how to generate the root= option?
  Ideally we could use UUID= there!
  Or does Bootloader-Sets-Incorrect-Root: yes help here?

Please let me know if I can provide any additional details, or if you have something for me to test.
One note about testing: Can I get flash-kernel to work with a custom built kernel, as long as the necessary config options are not enabled in -armmp?

Yours sincerely
Josua Mayer
