-To be able to boot the OpenBSD/MACHINE installation program on the Thecus
-N1200, you will need to learn a bit about Das U-Boot, the low-level process
-that controls the microprocessor after hardware initialization.
-
-On the RouterBOARD RB600A, that task is handled by RouterBOOT.
-
-Thecus N1200 setup:
-
- Talking to the Thecus N1200
-
- The Thecus N1200 needs a serial cable. On the back of the disk drive
- circuit board, there is either a 10-pin header (with one pin removed),
- or 9 holes for you to solder in your own header. The ribbon cable
- that connects from there to your serial cable or the serial port on
- your computer is of the same type as used on older i386 PCs, but
- be aware that there are two different types of 10-pin IDC to DB-9M
- ribbon cable in use, which look identical (the differences are hidden
- inside the DB-9 connector). The cable you need is wired using the
- "AT-Everex" or "Asus" pinout, as described here:
-
- http://www.pccables.com/07120.htm
-
- and *not* the more straightforward to solder "crossed" type:
-
- http://www.pccables.com/07121.htm.
-
- If you wish to check a cable, or make your own, the pinouts are:
-
- DB9 IDC10
- === =====
- 1 2 3 4 5 1 3 5 7 9
- 6 7 8 9 2 4 6 8 10
-
- Wire pin 1 to 1, 2 to 2 etc, with 10 not connected.
-
-
- Booting the Thecus N1200
-
- When you have connected your computer, a command such as
- "cu -l cuaU0 -s 115200" (assuming cuaU0 is your serial port device)
- should connect you to the Thecus console. Now apply power to the
- Thecus and start it.
-
- After some device probe information, you should see this prompt:
-
- Hit any key to stop autoboot: 1
-
- You have exactly one second to press a key and enter interactive
- U-Boot. Fortunately it will typically accept a key typed during the
- diagnostics that precede this prompt.
-
- The recommended way to boot OpenBSD on Thecus is to configure
- networking and load bsd.bin from a TFTP server. First networking must
- be configured using the setenv command.
-
- => setenv ipaddr 10.0.0.21
- => setenv serverip 10.0.0.7
- => setenv gatewayip 10.0.0.7
-
- Once you have done this, and have set up your TFTP server on the
- gateway machine (10.0.0.7 in the above example), you can boot
- manually.
-
- => tftpboot 200000 bsd.bin
- Speed: 1000, full duplex
- Using Freescale TSEC0 device
- TFTP from server 10.0.0.7; our IP address is 10.0.0.21
- Filename 'bsd.bin'.
- Load address: 0x200000
- Loading: ##########################################################
- #############################################################
- ...
- ######
- done
- Bytes transferred = 295148 (480ec hex)
- => go 200000
-
- Once OpenBSD is installed on the hard disk, you will only need to
- load the OpenBSD/MACHINE boot loader:
-
- => tftpboot 200000 boot
- => bootm
-
- and just hit "return" to boot OpenBSD.
-
-
- Automatic Booting
-
- However, for easier booting, you may wish to store the OpenBSD boot
- loader in the flash memory, so that the Thecus will boot automatically
- into OpenBSD when it is powered up.
-
- => erase fe780000 fe800000
-
- .... done
- Erased 4 sectors
- => tftpboot 200000 boot
- Speed: 1000, full duplex
- Using Freescale TSEC0 device
- TFTP from server 10.0.0.7; our IP address is 10.0.0.21
- Filename 'boot'.
- Load address: 0x200000
- Loading: ##########################################################
- done
- Bytes transferred = 295148 (480ec hex)
- => cp 200000 fe780000 20000
- Copy to Flash...
- 512 KBdone
- => setenv bootcmd bootm FE780000
- => saveenv
- Saving Environment to Flash...
- Un-Protected 2 sectors
- Erasing Flash...
- .. done
- Erased 2 sectors
- Writing to Flash...
- 256 KBdone
- Protected 2 sectors
- => reset
-
- This configuration can easily be set back to the default, as the
- existing Linux system does not get erased from the flash memory.
- To set it back, just change the boot command back to what it was,
- for example:
-
- => setenv bootcmd flashboot
- => saveenv
-
- The bootloader is command driven with timeout like many other OpenBSD
- architectures.
-
- It may be needed to increase the 'bootdelay' variable in order to give
- the SATA-chip a chance to initialize. Having a too short delay could
- cause OpenBSD/MACHINE to not find its root device (and thus kernel
- image). Although sometimes as much as ten seconds of delay are
- necessary, five seconds will do in most cases:
-
- => setenv bootdelay 5
- => saveenv
-
-
-RouterBOARD RB600A setup:
-
- The RouterBOARD RB600A comes with a standard DB9 serial port, so no
- special cables are needed. Like the Thecus, the default baudrate is
- 115200, so a command like "cu -l cuaU0 -s 115200" should connect you to
- the RouterBOARD console. As soon as you apply power to the
- RouterBOARD, it will start booting.
-
- Shortly after RouterBOOT starts, you will see a message like:
-
- Press any key within 2 seconds to enter setup.
-
- Since board initialization is very fast, it is rather easy to miss
- this message, in which case the board will load its RouterOS (which
- is just Linux) from flash.
-
- The recommended way to install OpenBSD on the RouterBOARD is to copy
- the miniroot "miniroot{:--:}OSrev.fs" image to CompactFlash on another machine
- and place in the first (J301) CompactFlash slot on the board.
-
- Use the dd(1) utility to copy the miniroot to CompactFlash.
- The command would likely be, under OpenBSD:
- dd if=miniroot{:--:}OSrev.fs of=/dev/rsd1c
- Replace ``rsd1c'' with the appropriate device name for the raw device
- on the system used to do the copy.
-
- You will need to configure your RouterBOARD to boot from CompactFlash.
- To do this, enter the RouterBOOT setup by pressing a key when the
- message shown above appears on the serial console. This should present
- you with the following menu:
-
- RouterBOOT-2.20
- What do you want to configure?
- d - boot delay
- k - boot key
- s - serial console
- o - boot device
- f - cpu frequency
- r - reset booter configuration
- e - format nand
- g - upgrade firmware
- i - board info
- p - boot protocol
- t - do memory testing
- x - exit setup
- your choice:
-
- Choose 'o' to enter the boot device menu:
-
- Select boot device:
- e - boot over Ethernet
- * n - boot from NAND, if fail then Ethernet
- c - boot from CompactFlash only
- 1 - boot Ethernet once, then NAND
- 2 - boot Ethernet once, then CompactFlash
- o - boot from NAND only
- b - boot chosen device
- your choice:
-
- Choose 'c' to select CompactFlash and then, at the main menu, choose
- 'x' to save the setting. The board will reset, and immediately
- attempt to boot from CompactFlash, straight into the OpenBSD
- installer.
