Kernel 2.6.32 for MV78XX00 (WXL)

kiddouk · **Joined:** Thu Aug 20, 2009 9:39 pm **Posts:** 25

Hey guys,

here is a new topic on my progress to get a kernel working on the 2.6.32 vanilla.

So far, I have a kernel that boot up (just a few minutes ago !) and here is what I have :

Code:

Uncompressing Linux................................................................................................................................. done.
Linux version 2.6.32 (root@debian) (gcc version 4.2.0 20070413 (prerelease) (CodeSourcery Sourcery G++ Lite 2007q1-21)) #6 PREEMPT Thu Feb 4 12:02:43 EST0

I have a mpp.c and mpp.h that match the MPP of the MV78100 of the BUffalo WXL (Terastation Duo).

Any help is much appreciated if you are a kernel guru :-)

End of the day,

I have so far the following :

Booting Kernel : OK
New Device ID (devio > foo ...) : OK
RamDisk Support : OK
Ethernet Support Limited (10Mbit only while the device should be 1Gbit) : NOT OK
Raid Support : OK
MTD : Not OK
PCI : OK
USB : OK
Fan Control : NOT OK (but I have made the MPP lines for it)
LED : NOT OK (same as above)
Micon Hardware Watchdog : Unknown (under tests)

it gets pretty exciting !

Hi kiddouk,

Great wok. I hava a TS-XL (TS3) and I'm interested in getting the latest kernel for my box. Could you show us how to compile a vanilla kernel for MV78XX00 boxes ?

I finally took some time to create a http://www.kolios.dk/patch/linux-buffalo-wxl-2.6.32.patch.

This patch currently works only for WXL.
You should have a 2.6.32 vanilla kernel.

apply the patch with

Code:

$> cd linux-2.6.32
$> patch -p1 < ../linux-buffalo-wxl-2.6.32.patch
patching file arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/Kconfig
patching file arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/Makefile
patching file arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/buffalo-wxl-setup.c
patching file arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/mpp.c
patching file arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/mpp.h
patching file arch/arm/tools/mach-types

Select MV78XX0 as a system type and enable the new Buffalo WXL support.

then compile with

Code:

$> make ARCH=ARM CROSS_COMPILE=... zImage

then patch with the good devio

Code:

$> devio  'wl 0xe3a0c10c,4' 'wl 0xe381108a,4' > foo
$> cat foo zImage > zImage.buffalo

Note : the kernel is Highly experimental and the network seems
to be very instable. This is for TESTING only.

Once the patch gets better, I'll produce a TS3 patch too as theses
two NAS are pretty much the same !

enjoy

I took some times to modify the patch this week end.

Network now Works correctly (10/100/1000).

The ttyS1 seems to be reluctant though ... so no watchdog (The box, dies after 5minutes).

@riohey: you can now try on your TS3 .. it should boot and have network enabled.
but you should use a serial port to monitor what's happening. (Asyou may have a stock initrd,
be prepared to a LOT of output ^^ )

Patch url: at the same place.

Good News fellows,

The kernel now supports the watchdog.
I update the patch immediately.

Things that works :

* SATA (2hosts)
* Ethernet (10/100/1000)
* Watchdog (with micro-evtd installed)
* Serial ports
* USB
* Fan control

and for now :
* no LCD
* No keys

Enjoy !

Ok, the patch has just been accepted by the ARM team and pushed into the repository. :-)

Hi kiddouk,

Applied your patch to vanilla kernel 2.6.32 and build an uImage for my TS3. Then I tried tftpboot with this newer kernel, because I like to keep HDDs untouched. Loading kernel and initrd worked fine, but after uncompressing the kernel, TS3 stopped.

Code:

Marvell>> setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/ram0 rw initrd=0x00900040,15M panic=5'

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

How should I modify the kernel source code ?

you don't need to change the source.

just issue the following: (after you make zImage)

Code:

$> devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c0c,4' 'wl 0xe381108a,4'
$> cat foo arch/arm/boot/zImage > zImage.new
$> mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'linux' -d zImage.new uImage

This is due to the fact that buffalo use the WRONG machine type and do not match any of
the linux kernel machine type. So we force the machine type in the header of the uImage.

enjoy,

Hi kiddouk,

Your advice solved the machine type issue. But my TS reboots after showing the following message;

I posted a .config file that you can try. As I have no TS3, I can't test anything myself.

http://www.kolios.dk/patch/config-wxl

If you can test it and report back ... thanks !

Hi kiddouk,

I compiled the kernel using your config, but still no luck. I used Debian Lenny on SheevaPlug to build the kernel.

Code:

$ tar jxvf linux-2.6.32.tar.bz2
$ cd linux-2.6.32
$ patch -p 1 < ../linux-buffalo-wxl-2.6.32.patch
$ cp ../config-wxl .config
$ make oldconfig
$ make zImage
$ devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c0c,4' 'wl 0xe381108a,4'
$ cat foo arch/arm/boot/zImage > zImage.new
$ mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'linux-2.6.32' -d zImage.new uImage.buffalo

I installed one SATA HDD into disk #1, uploaded uImage file to the TFTP server, changed the U-Boot environment variables and tried tftpboot. But the kernel could not find a root device. Same result for disk #3.

Code:

Marvell>> setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda2 rw panic=5'
Marvell>> tftpboot 0x02000000 $(kernel)

Any suggestions ?

It boots on TS3 ... yeah !

The error you are having is due to the fact that you are not using any initrd.

The KERNEL is GOOD ! :up:

You should have an initrd that assemble your raid and do some job for you.

I uploaded my initrd for test purposes.

I have constructed from my own blog article :

http://www.kolios.dk/2009/09/07/howto-install-a-debian-from-scratch-on-a-buffalo-terastation-duo-2/

The initrd is here :
http://www.kolios.dk/patch/initrd.buffalo

This should help reconstructing you RAID Arrays. More over, don't forget to activate in your kernel config all the support for RAID arrays and multiple Partition Schemes. The one I use when installing a debian on my server ar PC-DOS style.

any news ?

My patch is waiting for your answer so we have TS3 - TS Duo support + CLOCK support too in a 2.6.34.

please, tell me how it goes as I don't have any TS3 here.
