README.hardware: update Edgerouter section
Updated image creation instructions. Used wic images instead of manually putting rootfs and kernel to SD card.

--- Booting from USB disk ---
|
||||
|
||||
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):
|
||||
2. Flash the image.
|
||||
|
||||
2a) if booting from vfat
|
||||
|
||||
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
|
||||
# cp tmp/deploy/images/edgerouter/vmlinux /mnt
|
||||
# umount /mnt
|
||||
# dd core-image-minimal-edgerouter.wic of=/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||
5b) ext3 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)
|
||||
|
||||
3. Insert USB disk into the edgerouter and boot it.
|
||||
|
||||
Type 2: NFS
