I have loaded a hard disk with Wheezy through Debootstrap but I find that the Tonidoplug2 kernel is a customised 2.6.31 and so far I cannot find any later kernel to work correctly with wheezy (2.6.32 or later). I have seen references to a 3.1 kernel for archlinux but no binaries, sources or patches so far. I note there is no arcNumber or machid in u-boot and I see that the archlinux community used 2678 as per sheevaplug. I would be grateful if anyone has better advice as I do want to build an up to date kernel.

I have standardised on 3.4.4 for sheevaplugs, guruplugs, old Buffalo NAS and cuboxes but I see the current stable kernel is way ahead at 3.6.3 so I guess i will have to update generally in the not too distant future.

[apemberton]

Seems like I'm alone here with TP2!

Anyway, a useful link I have found is https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1619681/ though I cannot claim to have used the patches therein. I will attempt to work on kernel 3.6.3 but no promises or timescales.

[apemberton]

I'm a bit stuck! It seems that patches for a more modern kernel for usi topkick are meant to use a flattened device tree, and while I can get the kernel to compile and load, the u-boot bootm process fails with not recognising the device number (4101).

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.


Although there were quite a number of Kernel Flattened Device Tree devices specified in the .config file (e.g. the Dreamplug) through 'make menuconfig', none appear as seen above. I can see that the compiled kernel does have the dtsi stuff in it (the system.map), the u-boot doesn't like it. I can see that the u-boot site has catered for FDT in at least the latest version.

OK, fine and I can do something about compiling a new u-boot (2013.01). However the current version is Marvell's 3.4.27 based on the old u-boot 1.1.4. Since I don't think the TP2 has an accessible JTAG port, I am reluctant to try flashing a new u-boot with the likleyhood of it failing and bricking the box.

I think I will give up on TP2's and use something more modern.

Where is the kernel TonidoPlug2 support  ?

[apemberton]

Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00001005).
This report comes from the Linux kernel (kernel issue - not u-boot)

Actually the R1 value is from u-boot as it will change with u-boot env variable arcNumber or machid. The kernel is supplying the wrong number.

Although I still don't know why, I have moved on a bit in that looking at the kernel System.map file, the only Flattened Device Tree entry is for a generic KIRKWOOD_DT which naturally doesn't have a device number assigned. I will have to look into more detail at the patches and compatibility with generated 'include/generated/mach-types.h'. I'm sure the answer lies there. I will also experiment with using devio/mkimage to patch a zImage.

From what I can see from upcoming kernel 3.8, FDT is becoming mainstream for devices including Tonidoplug aka USI Topkick. But I'm not holding my breath.

Where is the kernel TonidoPlug2 support  ?

Where indeed. The only support for kernel updates seems to be coming from the ARCH Linux community and jason cooper but nothing from Tonido or CodeLathe. The Globalscale site only has binaries for the original 2.6.31 antique.

[apemberton]

Having looked deeper into the kernel 3.7.5 coding, I can see that the arcNumber for flattened device tree is suppressed as in file 'arch/arm/include/asm/mach/arch.h'. The device number is set as '(~0)' which corresponds with the value returned above. Further, individual system types (such as dreamplug FDT) are not parsed. As the TonidoPlug2 uses the Marvell 88F6282 (as opposed to most other Kirkwood systems with the 88F6281), there is a slight difference in pinouts.

I was wondering what the flattened Device Tree kernel architecture was for but, from reading patches, I gather that the kernel will probe the hardware to determine which devices in SoC's are to be enabled. Plainly there is much activity in this area in readiness for upcoming 3.8 kernel versions - including making Topkick mainline. In view of this, I shall let my TP2's moulder for a few more months and pay more attention to other projects. The old Buffalo Linkstation Pro's (slow Orion 88F5281) will have a reprieve from the computer scrapyard! Next to attach a Raspberry to the boiler!

[apemberton]

Ok, I'm compiling kernel 3.8-rc6 which DOES have USI Topkick FDT as an original mainline option. I don't think a testing version should be used for production but it will help try out the TP2.

[apemberton]

Well I still havn't got a Kernel 3.8 (its there on Kernel.org but not as stable) with flattened device tree to work. It has USI Topkick in the menuconfig (and many other fdt devices including the dreamplug) but although i get a clean compile, it will not boot. I changed the u-boot environment machid to both 1005 and ffffffff and the arcNumber to 4101 and the decimal equivalent of 0xffffffff to see if that would make any difference. I don't know why it won't boot and I can't find any useful how-to's for it. I have a feeling that, as u-boot is getting flatted device tree settings (BTW the FDT site is www.devicetree.org) there is a requirement to update u-boot - but I could well be wrong!

However, I now have a 3.7.7 kernel working on a TP2 with debian thanks to the site at https://sites.google.com/site/armtechie2017/home/tonido-plug-2 which has links to a config file and patch for an non-fdt version. I cannot claim to have fully tested yet - installation of Debian apps from the repository is going on as I write this, but it *IS* promising at last. Thanks to Edward Nielsen for his work.

[apemberton]

Another update - sorry to be a bore!

Some proof of operation!

I cannot post the .config file as it will exceed post message length.

Pity NewIT do not have a user upload directory!

I have not had to make code patches or changes for TP2 and the u-boot remains as stock (1.1.4 basically). The config file has been posted in an email to NewIT since I cannot post the text here.
  
There are far too many modules but as I'm booting from a 1TB drive, space isn't really an issue.
