Topic: Meraki Mini RedBoot compile error?

The content of this topic has been archived on 24 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I first got redboot source from here:

http://meraki.net/linux/

and went to here to install the tool chain:

http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html

      wget --passive-ftp ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/ecos-install.tcl

The installation tool may then be invoked as follows:

      sh ecos-install.tcl

and did a make ap51

It runs most of the way until the end where it dies.

mipsisa32-elf-objcopy --strip-all  /home/ubuntu/redboot_mini/redboot/ap51/rom/install/bin/redboot.img

Seems like the redboot.img is not being created somehow. Any help here?

Any help?

Hard to get help around here...hrm

Compiled now. Thanks for those people that gave me the sources!

hi!

@goldserve.. how did you get redboot compiled????

I got the fonera sources and ported some changes over for 32mb ram and got it compiled for mini. It should be easy to compile it back for meraki mini with 7zip or lzma support so you can load it like fonera but i'd need someone to donate a mini to me...

i have another idea ...

i have a siemens SE551 with a bootloader witch loads code from ram...
i have a working binary file but linux do not start... *grrr*

so i try to compile a redboot and boot it from ram to test..

can you help me to analize the working binary so that i know how i must compilel linux or redboot????

what platform is the SE551? It's not easy to initialize the platform unless someone has ported the redboot to it. It also assumes that they know all the workings of the chip including programming guides, etc.

it is an atheros ar531x

I looked...the eeprom is a serial eeprom with 2mb right? Not really useful for linux as 2mb won't be enough.

i wrote you a message on irc.....

do you have time to chat with me on irc???

Hi *,
i'm also trying to get the Meraki's RedBoot for Atheros WiSoCs compiled: i'm, of course, having the same error as GoldServe.
How did you got it compiled?

@GoldServe: What is the fonera source code you're talking about?

Thanks in advance!

Nobody can help here?

I'm getting the same error message when I compile the Redboot as GOLDSERVE.
Anyone has any ideia on how to solve this problem ?
