Next steps:
- Build the aec62xx module
- try to mount the hard disk
- fold this hard-drive savvy kernel and fs combination into our Flashless Development Cycle
- For Random's initial analysis of what's going on during the 2007-06-17 boot sequence, you might care to look at OpenWrtBootAnalysis.
Previous Steps:
2007-08-12
Eric builds OpenWRT
URL: https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk Revision: 8400
which results:
eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk$ ls -l ./bin/openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx -rw-r--r-- 1 eric eric 1839104 2007-07-07 15:14 ./bin/openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx
but that's too big:
ERROR!! copysize is 1839104, amtcopy is 1802240
So we try again with make menuconfig to trim options.
eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk$ ls -l bin/*.trx -rw-r--r-- 1 eric eric 1708032 2007-08-12 14:21 bin/openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk$
1.7 meg. Much better.
(If we really want to press the limit, the total flash size is 2097152 bytes ... 262144 is consumed by CFE ... 65536 is consumed by NVRAM ... leaving 1769472 for the .trx ... 1728 kb is 1.6875 MB)
Also, we had to do some config file hacking to get the darn aec62xx drivers built:
eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk$ find ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/ -name "*.ko" ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/pci/generic.ko ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/pci/cmd64x.ko ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/pci/aec62xx.ko ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko ./build_dir/linux-2.6-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.22.1/drivers/ide/ide-generic.ko eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk$
OpenWrtBootImage Instructions:
So basically following the steps outlined in ReflashingWithTftp we did the following:
- booted to CFE> and did the ifconfig eth0 -auto bit ...
so that we could get an ip address that doesn't conflict with the OTHER 192.168.1.1 which is Eric's upstream router ....
CFE> printenv Variable Name Value -------------------- -------------------------------------------------- BOOT_CONSOLE uart0 CFE_VERSION 1.0.37 CFE_BOARDNAME BCM947XX CFE_MEMORYSIZE 67108864 STARTUP go; NET_DEVICE eth0 NET_IPADDR 192.168.23.8 NET_NETMASK 255.255.255.0 NET_GATEWAY 192.168.23.1 NET_NAMESERVER 192.168.23.1 *** command status = 0
- then held down the EZSETUP orange button and typed "go"
CFE> go Null Rescue Flag. Null Rescue Flag. 10 seconds to Rescue mode... Null Rescue Flag. 9 seconds to Rescue mode...
[SNIP]
1 seconds to Rescue mode...
Null Rescue Flag.
Hello!! Enter Rescue Mode: (by Force)

[SNIP]
- Then from the OpenWRT build machine, we did the following (with tftp "bin" mode this time!):
eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk/bin$ tftp.inetutils tftp> connect 192.168.23.8 tftp> bin tftp> put openwrt-brcm47xx-2.6-squashfs.trx Sent 1708032 bytes in 3.5 seconds tftp> quit eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk/bin$
Which resulted in this on the WL-700gE console:
[SNIP]

and the console is halted there.
- Time to reboot!

Random builds OpenWRT, and mounts hard disk.

Eric builds OpenWRT
URL: https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk Revision: 7885
Using make menuconfig to trim options creating this configuration file: [2] and then make V=99 [3].
The strangely it seems that the aec62xx drivers are not built, just as had been foretold:
eric@xyzzy:~/freesa/openwrt-trunk$ ls bin/packages/*aec* ls: bin/packages/*aec*: No such file or directory
How can we insmod the driver if it isn't built? Anyway, let's forge ahead.
With very promising results:

2007-06-17 -- Hard drive spins.
Eric built OpenWRT with the broadcomm with 2.6 kernel and everything else default with hopes of getting it to boot and see if we can spin the hard drive.
URL: https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk Revision: 7646
which resulted in:

2297856 is bigger than the max size of our flash, wish is about 1.7 meg after bootloader. So we rebuilt with many options removed. like wireless.

2006-11-28 -- OpenWRT built and flashed onto system.
Brett has built an OpenWRT image using the latest OpenWRT subversion trunk -- that's revision 5671 -- and the attached config file which should be uncompressed and renamed to .config. There are lots of resulting image files, three of which are trx files: openwrt-brcm-2.6-jffs2-128k.trx, openwrt-brcm-2.6-jffs2-64k.trx, and openwrt-brcm-2.6-squashfs.trx.
