+EdgeRouter Lite(edgerouter)
|
|
|
+=====================================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The EdgeRouter Lite is part of the EdgeMax series. It is an MIPS64 router(Cavium Octeon)
|
|
|
+with 512MB of RAM, which uses a USB pendrive for storage.

|
+Setup instructions
|
|
|
+------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You will need the following:
|
|
|
+* NFS root setup on your workstation
|
|
|
+* TFTP server installed on your workstation
|
|
|
+* Straight-thru 9-conductor serial cable (DB9, M/F) connected from your
|
|
|
+ PC to UART1
|
|
|
+* Ethernet connected to the first ethernet port on the board
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+--- Preparation ---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Build an image (e.g. core-image-minimal) using "edgerouter" as the MACHINE.
|
|
|
+In the following instruction it is based on core-image-minimal. Another target
|
|
|
+may be similiar with it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+--- Booting from NFS root ---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Load the kernel, and boot the system as follows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 1. Get the kernel (vmlinux) file from the tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter
|
|
|
+ directory, and make them available on 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/ttyS0 -b 115200
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 3. Power up or reset the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted
|
|
|
+ to get to the U-Boot command line
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 4. Set up the environment in U-Boot:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ => setenv ipaddr <board ip>
|
|
|
+ => setenv serverip <tftp server ip>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 5. Download the kernel and boot:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ => tftp tftp $loadaddr vmlinux
|
|
|
+ => bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<nfsroot ip>:<rootfs path> ip=<board ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip>:<netmask>:edgerouter:eth0:off mtdparts=phys_mapped_flash:512k(boot0),512k(boot1),64k@3072k(eeprom)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+--- Booting from USB root ---
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+NOTE: Since the USB disk is inside the edgerouter box, its inconvenient for us to
|
|
|
+ plug and unplug the USB disk. So in the following instructions I assume that
|
|
|
+ you already boot the box from NFS. Additionally, since vmlinux is not installed
|
|
|
+ to core-minal-image-xxx by default, so its neccessary for us to copy it to USB
|
|
|
+ disk.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Load the kernel, and boot the system as follows:
|
|
|
+ 1. Booting from NFS root
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 2. Mount usb disk partition 2 and then extract the contens of
|
|
|
+ tmp/deploy/core-image-XXXX.tar.bz2 into it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Before starting, copy core-image-minimal-xxx.tar.bz2 and vmlinux into
|
|
|
+ rootfs path on your workstation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ and then,
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ # mount /dev/sda2 /media/sda2
|
|
|
+ # tar -xvjpf core-image-minimal-XXX.tar.bz2 -C /media/sda2
|
|
|
+ # cp vmlinux /media/sda2/boot/vmlinux
|
|
|
+ # umount /media/sda2
|
|
|
+ # reboot
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 3. Reboot the board and press a key on the terminal when prompted to get to the U-Boot
|
|
|
+ command line
|
|
|
+ # reboot
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 4. Load the kernel and boot:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ => 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)
