I now longer have a SheevaPlug, so I cannot test u-boot upgrades. I merely unpack the .deb package to make it easier to get the binary. (I noticed that u-boot binaries are provided for some ARM machines as part of Debian installer; I like this idea and think we should do the same for Kirkwood.) If someone can try the u-boot binary from https://people.debian.org/~tbm/u-boot/2014.10+dfsg1-4/ and tell me whether it works I'd appreciate it. Make sure you know how to use OpenOCD if you have to recover. I see the filesize of the u-boot binary has changed. My instructions currently say: nand erase 0x0 0x60000 nand write 0x0800000 0x0 0x60000 0x60000 should be 0x70000 now. Even better: nand erase 0x0 0x60000 nand write 0x0800000 0x0 ${filesize} -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
