Title: Issue loading self-built openWRT with uboot tftpboot
Post by: mike_s on July 01, 2015, 10:50:09 PM
I cloned the openWRT github for the rt5350f target and built it for the olinuxino.  Firstly, it attempts to download openssl-1.0.2a whcih doesnt exist on the server.  I had to open the makefile and change the target version/md5 to version openssl-1.0.2c.

Once I made that change, and massaged the patches, it built.  However, when I attempt to load the firmware through uboot using the tftpboot command it reports an error. 

I am following the directions located: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/RT5350F-OLinuXino#Building_uboot

Thanks


EDIT:  The error i get when starting the load is:

Looking at the OLINUXINO-RT5350F.dts (located at openwrt/target/linux/ramips/dts/), why the "firmware" partition is defined of size 0x3b0000? Shouldn't it be 0x7b0000? The flash size of the OLINUXINO-RT5350F is 8MB...

Samuele, you are right. The firmware partition should be 0x7b0000 and not 0x3b0000. That's the reason why there is not enough space left. I will try to change that.

Did you modify the size of the firmware partition?

This would have solved your first problem:

README:
QuoteRun "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

I also had the problem with a pair of files even after updating, eventually I ended up manually loading the missing sources and putting it in the dl/ directory: quick and dirty, but I was in the urge of getting a running system.

The build tree includes some patches to version 1.0.2a even if you could download version 1.0.2c then you need to also change the makefile.

Anyway you can easily google for 1.0.2a version, manually download and put it into the ds/ directory, and forget about this issue.

Hopefully the git maintainer sooner or later will update the tree resolving this issue and the flash image size one.
