My three Guruplug Server Plus are now running Device Tree kernel 3.10. although two were very picky about my u-boot settings. The kernel is identical in configuration to that used for my Tonidoplugs (posted above) except that the appropriate .dtb file was attached. I note there are changes to the kernel code for 3.10.0 for Guruplugs. Sheevaplugs are not device tree in stock 3.10.0.

I can not tell what address are you loading the dtb to.

[apemberton]

I didn't need to know as I used a bit of cbxbiker's script to join a zImage to a .dtb to create a uImage.

I created a .config file manually from a combination of 'make kirkwood_defconfig' and a previous non-dtb implementation (on a windows machine using WinMerge!). Cbxbikers patches for kirkwood for sheevaplug were applied manually as the patch command threw up an error. Nothing serious but it left out defining MACH_SHEEVAPLUG_DT if memory serves me correctly.

Then 'make menuconfig' to select all the options I wanted.

'make zImage'

'make dtbs'

My segment of scripts I used were as below. Hope these help.
For Guruplug:-

Code: [Select]


cat /kernel/linux-3.10/arch/arm/boot/zImage /kernel/linux-3.10/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-guruplug-server-plus.dtb > /tmp/zImage.orig

mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n "Linux-kirkwood-guruplug-server-plus-3.10" -d /tmp/zImage.orig Linux-kirkwood-guruplug-server-plus-3.10-uImage

rm /tmp/zImage.orig


and for TP2:-

Code: [Select]


cat /kernel/linux-3.10/arch/arm/boot/zImage /kernel/linux-3.10/arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-topkick.dtb > /tmp/zImage.orig

mkimage -A arm -O linux -C none -T kernel -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n "Linux-kirkwood-topkick-3.10" -d /tmp/zImage.orig Linux-kirkwood-topkick-3.10-uImage

rm /tmp/zImage.orig


Then of course 'make modules' , 'make modules_install'.

All compiled on a esata sheevaplug. Results placed on a USB stick and inserted into each GP+ in turn and manually copied to /mnt/sda1 (/dev/sdb1 formatted as ext2) and /boot (/dev/sdb2 formatted as ext4).

BTW this posting is travelling from my PC via a GP+ set up as a router running 3.10.0 with quagga, so it works.
