Setup instructions
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need the following:
|
|
|
-* nfs root setup on your workstation
|
|
|
-* tftp server installed on your workstation
|
|
|
+* NFS root setup on your workstation
|
|
|
+* TFTP server installed on your workstation
|
|
|
+* Null modem cable connected from your workstation to the first serial port
|
|
|
+ on the board
|
|
|
+* Ethernet connected to the first ethernet port on the board
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+--- Preparation ---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Note: if you have altered your board's ethernet MAC address(es) from the
|
|
|
+defaults, or you need to do so because you want multiple boards on the same
|
|
|
+network, then you will need to change the values in the dts file (patch
|
|
|
+linux/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/mpc8315erdb.dts within the kernel source). If
|
|
|
+you have left them at the factory default then you shouldn't need to do
|
|
|
+anything here.

|
|
|
+ 1. Get the kernel (uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.bin) and dtb (uImage-mpc8315e-rdb.dtb)

|
|
+ your TFTP server.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 2. Connect the board's first serial port to your workstation and then start up
|
|
|
+ your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
|
|
|
+ the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
