Hi Roman,
Since ar71xx uses 4.1 kernel by default, MAC addresses on my Ubiquiti
RSPro's are random. I suspect it is due to the changes in
506-MIPS-ath79-prom-parse-redboot-args.patch. I reported the problem
here: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20642. Do you mind having a look at it?
Those changes didn't affect functionality, it was a port to new prom API.
Also seems you have the board correctly detected - it means prom code
is working.
Are you sure the bootloader is passing ethaddr as it should? Sorry, I
don't have the hw to test.
The bootloader is passing it:
RedBoot> exec
Now booting linux kernel:
Base address 0x80050000 Entry 0x80060000
memsize=0x08000000
modetty0=0,n,8,1,hw
board=RouterStation PRO
ethaddr=00.15.6d.c3.31.57
[ 0.000000] Linux version 4.1.10 (stijn@taz) (gcc version 4.8.3
(OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r47070) ) #1 Tue Oct 13 04:36:06 CEST 2015
And I don't have the problem with the 3.18 kernel, tested on 2 different
RSPro's.
Kind regards,
Stijn
It looks like the cmdline used is forced to be the one embedded by the image
generation
build step and then data passed via RedBoot is no longer queried. Board
recognition is not
from RedBoot, but from the embedded command line. Hence, no ethaddr=.
See CONFIG_IMAGE_CMDLINE_HACK in the ar71xx/config-4.1 file.
Ought to be a simple code fix in prom.c - looking at it tomorrow.
