This is an old revision of the document!
CLUNC uses the network (ethernet cable) to connect to U-Boot.
No need of custom serial cable to play with a LaCie NAS !
Latest release: clunc 1.0
Repository: clunc.git
The documentation is in the README file.
Here's a dirty command line which shall allow booting a NS2 on an USB drive/stick:
echo “usb reset; setenv bootargs “console=ttyS0,115200 netconsole=6666@${ipaddr}/,6666@${serverip}/ root=/dev/sdb2 rootwait”; usbboot 0x800000 0:1; usb stop; bootm” | ./clunc -i <ns2_ip> -m <ns2_mac> -w <timeout>
where: * <ns2_ip> is the IP which will be the NS2 will use during the clunc phase * <ns2_mac> is the MAC address of the NS2 we want to target (usefull if more than one NS2 is on the network) * <timeout> is the time before which clunc will be shut down
Note that, for this to work, the usb device must be partitioned with 2 partitions: the first one shall contain a raw copy of the kernel uImage, the second one will host the root filesystem you want to boot.
