Now we can work on boot.scr In my scenario i don't use any initrd or others...
A good scenario to work could be the "standard" one used in other devices. We can make 2 partitions, vfat to store the kernel (uImage) and the second one where we'll provide the rootfs. I think that will work. Gentoo uses this way too for this device.
This is my working boot.script http://cruxppc.org/~acrux/arm/boot.script.efikamx It seems that you are using 3 partitions (mmcblk0p3).
yes, i have a swap partition too. Now that you can do a native build a swap partition becames a necessity.
and you can build it to be readble from u-boot with:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -a 0 -e 0 -T script -C none -n "EfikaMX Boot Script" -d myboot.script.efikamx boot.scr
ummmm this sounds interesting. I used this in wm8505's uboot too. Very good info in this thread for this device.
it's a quite good system but not perfect... i guess it could be possible to port the second stage boot loader "parthenope"[1] written by Cjg (@cruxppc) to boot wour Sam440/460[2] powerpc based boards that use u-boot. Btw, yestarday i i shipped to you the second couple of boards. I sent a pvt email with all the shipment infos. Maybe you should check again in your spam folder. cheers, --acrux [1] https://github.com/cjg/ub2lb [2] http://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware -- acrux <acrux_it@libero.it>
