hi
I upgraded u-boot to the one in debian stable

Code: [Select]

Marvell>> version

U-Boot 2012.04.01 (Jun 01 2012 - 02:17:08)
Marvell-DreamPlug
gcc (Debian 4.6.3-5) 4.6.3
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.22
Marvell>>
Next I was able to install debian stable to the micro-sd card (removable)
and I am able to set the u-boot env as follows.. I can get the debian to boot sort of manually
but I am not able to configure the u-boot env to boot it automatically. I have purposely set bootdelay to -1 so
it does not autofail...

Code: [Select]

Marvell>> printenv

bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sdb2 rootdelay=10

Now look at the variable bootcmd

AND THE SYSTEM BOOTS UP...

basically the ext2load fails initially but works when done in steps...

can anyone tell where I m going wrong ?

[Confusticated]

Usage:
ext2load <interface> <dev[:part]> [addr] [filename] [bytes]
    - load binary file 'filename' from 'dev' on 'interface'
      to address 'addr' from ext2 filesystem

The command arguments to 'ext2load' are incorrect (search this forum for examples).
I have not checked the validity of the rest of your u-boot settings.....

[ghat]

please read the last code block, the ext2load params are correct they just dont work when they are part of the bootcmd variable

Is there a way to echo the commands as they are executed in u-boot like one does in "#!/bin/bash -xv"

Huh....

Well the thing is if you put 2 ext2loads in the env variable it wont work...
If I split it into two variables it works...
