PiCore TFTP Boot

[Adraen]

Hi,

I've been struggling quite a bit to TFTP boot PiCore on the Raspberry Pi and just wanted to know if anyone got it working or has any idea what i'm doing wrong .

So I prepared an SDcard with u-boot in as the boot img

My boot script looks like this

Code: [Select]

setenv kernel_addr_r 0x8000
setenv ramfsfile initrd.rpi
setenv ramfsaddr 0x00a00000
tftpboot ${kernel_addr_r} uImage
tftpboot ${ramfsaddr} ${ramfsfile}
setenv bootargs 'dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 earlyprintk console=ttyAMA0,115200 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 initrd=0x00a00000,3578819 root=/dev/ram0 elevator=deadline nortc loglevel=3 waitusb=5'
bootm ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramfsaddr}

So what I've done is get the kernel and initrd from the img file provided in the download sections

Encapsulated the uImage and initrd in format uboot can work with

Code: [Select]

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T linux -a 8000 -e 8000 -C none -d kernel.img uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x0 -e 0x0 -n initrd -d initrd.gz initrd.rpi

But as you can imagine it doesnt work :/, it either hangs at 'Starting Kernel ...' or when I play a bit with the addresses -0x20 (looks like that's the size of uboot headers, not to sure about this)

Code: [Select]
