Topic: openwrt is working with Pronghron SBC-250 from adiengineering ?

The content of this topic has been archived on 26 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I have the following hardware and I tried to test with kamikaze 7.07 but it is not working.
In the menuconfig I  selected Target System (Intel XScale IXP4xx [2.6]) . After that I was running "make"
After that I was following the upgrade procedures from their documentation ftp://ftp.adiengineering.com/Archive/Pr … HORN-HOWTO.

When I execute go -n 0x01600000
or
exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 initrd=0x00800000,16M" 0x01600000


the equipment is not booting. I did not see anything on the serial console ttyS0. The system is freezing. The kernel messages are not shown.  Any help will be appreciated.
The images I choose to boot is: openwrt-ixp4xx-2.6-zImage

Work in progress.. I have to fixup some stuff, but first I need to make a console cable for it.. The code I made for the pronghorn only needs minor modifications.

Hello,

If you need you can try on our board some of your kernel images to see if they can work properly.  I also I can give you access to a remote linux directly connected to this board.

Any news on this?

Thank you,

Francesco

yep, it works fine. We have an ADI metro and SBC both work with 7.09. If you need help pm me and I'll try to sort it for you.

Hi adyb,

Would you explain me which modification are needed to use openwrt pronghorn metro image on pronghorn sbc?



Thank you,

Francesco

I got the openwrt 7.09 pronghorn metro image working on pronghorn sbc!

I used the following commands to flash the image:

fis init -f
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} -m xmodem     (zImage)
fis unlock -f 0x50060000 -l 0x100000
fis create kernel
fis free        (returns E60000)
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} -m xmodem      (squashfs)
fis unlock -f 0x50160000 -l 0xE60000
fis create -l 0xE60000 rootfs

(the only difference with pronghorn metro is that "fis free" returns E80000 instead of E60000)

Hope this helps.

Francesco

The discussion might have continued from here.
