-====== Extending U-Boot support for Orion SoC  ======
+====== U-Boot support for Orion SoCs  ======
 ===== Overview =====
-The Orion family of SoCs includes the following machines:
+See our [[uboot|U-Boot main page]].
-  * Buffalo/Revolution Kurbox Pro
+===== To-do list =====
-  * Buffalo/Revolution Linkstation Mini
-  * Buffalo/Revolution Terastation Pro II/Live
-  * Lacie ED Mini V2
-  * Lacie Internet Space V1 (V2 uses kirkwood)
-  * Lacie 2Big
-  * Lacie 5Big
-  * Lacie d2 Network
-  * Lacie Big Disk Network
-  * Marvell Orion-2 Development Board, Marvell Orion-VoIP FXO, Marvell Orion-VoIP GE, Marvell Orion-NAS Reference Design, Marvell Orion-1-90 AP GE Reference Design
-  * Maxtor Shared Storage II
-  * QNAP TS-109/TS-209
-  * QNAP TS-409
-  * Technologic Systems TS-78xx
-===== The u-boot-lacie git repo =====
+   * adapt orion5x / edminiv2 or relocation (wip in -next)
+   * add initial support for net5big (based upon reloc adaptation)
-[[http://git.lacie-nas.org/?p=u-boot-lacie.git;a=summary|This repo]] provides two branches:
+   * add initial support for net2big (based upon reloc adaptation)
+   * add I2C support to net5big
-  * **master** is kept up-to-date by merging the master branches of custodian repo that have orion5x-related commits.
+   * add PCI support to net5big
-  * **testing** is master plus patches that have not yet made it into  any custodian's u-boot repo.
+   * add SATA over PCI support to net5big
-WARNING: testing is **//volatile//**: it may roll back on a patch that eventually proved bad, or move sideways from one version of a patch to another. Its history will be shaky. Hey, this is a //testing// branch. On the other hand, master will only be a merge of custodian trees, so you can reasonably expect it to contain commits that //will// end up in mainline u-boot.

-The LaCie stock U-Boot comes with a huge limitation. The boot sequence is hardcoded within the U-Boot binary. At reset, U-Boot reinitialize the boot environment variables with the built-in ones. As a consequence, the LaCie system layout (or partition map) can't be changed. By default, U-Boot will load the Linux kernel from partition 10 (update) or from partition 6 as a fallback (default).
-This section present step by step how to update the stock U-Boot with a mainline version. Both a serial or a network console can be used to connect to U-Boot. For this how-to, the netconsole way is preferred because the user don't have to build/buy a serial cable.
-  * Run [[CLUNC|clunc]] and connect to the LaCie U-Boot console.
-  $ ./clunc -i <NAS_IP>
-  * Setup a tftp server and install the new u-boot image in the tftp directory (could be /var/tftpboot).
-  $ wget ftp://ftp.lacie-nas.org/u-boot/u-boot-netspace_v2.kwb -O /var/tftpboot/u-boot-netspace_v2.kwb
-  * Configure some U-Boot network environment variables. In the following example, replace ''${serverip}'' with the tftp server IP address and replace ''${ipaddr}'' with a valid and free IP address.
-  Marvell>> setenv ipaddr ${ipaddr}; setenv serverip ${serverip}
-  * Flash the new U-Boot image.
-  Marvell>> bubt u-boot-netspace_v2.kwb

-  Un-Protect Flash Monitor space
-  **Warning**
-  If U-Boot Endiannes is going to change (LE->BE or BE->LE), Then Env parameters should be overriden..

-  * Restart.
-  Marvell>> reset
-  * Install the U-Boot **netconsole** tool.
-Note that U-Boot mainline don't provide a magic packet mechanism to configure the IP address. It means that [[CLUNC|clunc]] becomes useless from this point. The netconsole configuration rely on some environment variables: **ipaddr**, **ncip**, **stdin**, **stdout** and **stderr** (for more information,  please refer to the file README.NetConsole included in U-Boot sources). After the update, this variables will be initialized with the default (or built-in) values: the IP address is 192.168.1.111 and the netconsole is configured to broadcast messages. As a consequence, the server IP **must belong** to the subnetwork 192.168.1.0. Moreover **netcat** don't handle the broadcast messages. Instead, the U-Boot tools **netconsole** and **ncb** must be used.
-  * Connect to U-Boot via netconsole and interrupt boot process (Ctrl-C).
