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)
