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 -e '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:
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.
