The Orion family of SoCs includes the following machines:
This repo provides two branches:
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.

Note that U-Boot mainline don't provide a magic packet mechanism to configure the IP address. It means that 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.
