Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) Kernel 3.6.7-5.fc18.armv5tel.kirkwood on an armv5tel (ttyS0) My kirkwood device (GuruPlug Server) arrived today. Sadly, I neglected to get the "Plus" model with the eSATA, or the MMC, which I assumed I was getting (but hadn't checked - my fault - however I had explicitly ordered the JTAG module, which is all I really cared about), so I had more fun this evening in getting it to boot, especially as the U-Boot they ship (and the later one available for download, which I upgraded mine to) does not support several of the USB sticks that I have of 8GB. In the end, I wound up using an older 2GB stick I had with a different chipset, and with that I was able to load the uInitrd/uImage, and then boot after reflashing the NAND, and so on. Anyway, drama story aside, it boots fine, though I did the following to setup boot from NAND (copy the uInitrd and uImage from the "boot" partition to a USB stick first): usb start fatls usb 0:1 fatload usb 0:1 0x6400000 /uImage nand erase 0x100000 0x400000 nand write.e 0x6400000 0x100000 0x400000 fatload usb 0:1 0x6400000 /uInitrd nand erase 0x500000 0x1b00000 nand write.e 0x6400000 0x500000 0x1b00000 set bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootwait' set loadInitrd 'nand read.e 0x7400000 0x500000 0x1b00000' set loadImage 'nand read.e 0x6400000 0x100000 0x400000' set bootcmd 'nand start; ${loadImage}; ${loadInitrd} ; bootm 0x6400000 0x7400000' saveenv I guess we can update the wiki with this information (that means me), but I figured I'd send this email so we had some record to start.
