To boot from the USB disk, you either need to remove it from the edgerouter
|
|
|
box and populate it from another computer, or use a previously booted NFS
|
|
|
image and populate from the edgerouter itself.

-Type 1: Mounted USB disk
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To boot from the USB disk there are two available partitions on the factory
|
|
|
-USB storage. The rest of this guide assumes that these partitions are left
|
|
|
-intact. If you change the partition scheme, you must update your boot method
|
|
|
-appropriately.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The standard partitions are:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - 1: vfat partition containing factory kernels
|
|
|
- - 2: ext3 partition for the root filesystem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You can place the kernel on either partition 1, or partition 2, but the roofs
|
|
|
-must go on partition 2 (due to its size).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Note: If you place the kernel on the ext3 partition, you must re-create the
|
|
|
- ext3 filesystem, since the factory u-boot can only handle 128 byte inodes and
|
|
|
- cannot read the partition otherwise.

+Type 1: Use partitioned image
|
|
|
+-----------------------------
|

|
|
|
|
Steps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Remove the USB disk from the edgerouter and insert it into a computer
|
|
|
that has access to your build artifacts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 2. Copy the kernel image to the USB storage (assuming discovered as 'sdb' on
|
|
|
- the development machine):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2a) if booting from vfat
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
|
|
|
- # cp tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter/vmlinux /mnt
|
|
|
- # umount /mnt
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2b) if booting from ext3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- # mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/sdb2
|
|
|
- # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
|
|
|
- # mkdir /mnt/boot
|
|
|
- # cp tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter/vmlinux /mnt/boot
|
|
|
- # umount /mnt
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 3. Extract the rootfs to the USB storage ext3 partition
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
|
|
|
- # tar -xvjpf core-image-minimal-XXX.tar.bz2 -C /mnt
|
|
|
- # umount /mnt
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 4. Reboot the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted to get to the U-Boot
|
|
|
- command line:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 5. Load the kernel and boot:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 5a) vfat boot
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- => fatload usb 0:1 $loadaddr vmlinux
|
|
|
+ 2. Flash the image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 5b) ext3 boot
|
|
|
+ # dd core-image-minimal-edgerouter.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
|
|
|
|
|
- => ext2load usb 0:2 $loadaddr boot/vmlinux
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- => bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3 root=/dev/sda2 rw rootwait mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:512k(boot0),512k(boot1),64k@3072k(eeprom)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
+ 3. Insert USB disk into the edgerouter and boot it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
