Hello,

I am with hardware revision C1 and this poor thing seems really crippled.

Preliminary: what is at the origin of my quest for a decent firmware... original firmware support for NFS and SMBFS is minimal to say the least.

1. You can't use Fonz custom kernel (see my previous post)
2. You can't install Debian following Martin Michlmayr's method (does not support C1)
3. D-Link does not release the source (at least on their website)
4. Last but not least: its uBoot cannot load kernel nor initrd. When trying a loadb k or loadb r with kermit transfer I get the following...
For kernel area:

Code:

Un-Protect Flash Bank # 1
Erase Kernel from 0xff820000 to 0xff99ffff Can't erase unknown flash type - aborted

Same thing with initrd area:

Code:

Un-Protect Flash Bank # 1
Erase Ramdisk from 0xff9a0000 to 0xfff7ffff Can't erase unknown flash type - aborted

Now you've been warned...

Best regards.

Hi,

U-Boot can load a kernel and an initrd, however it seems to refuse flashing them. But you can flash from within linux.

Code:

loadb

Now send a kernel with kermit. It will be at 100000

Copy kernel to another location in memory:

Code:

cp 0100000 02000000 <sizeofkernel>

Load an initrd:

Code:

loadb

Send an initrd with kermit.

Copy initrd to another location in memory:

Code:

cp 0100000 03000000 <sizeofinitrd>

Load and boot kernel and initrd:

Code:

bootm 02000000 03000000

Notice: loading the kernel from 0100000 does work while loading the initrd from 0100000 doesn't work, keep that in mind.

For custom kernel, the GPIO/LED-stuff seems to be broken, compile without CONFIG_LEDS_GPIO.

f4exb:

Have you tried Alt-F, recently announced in this forum? Its 2.6.33.1 based.

I have a report that the network does not work with it on a rev-C1 board, but the user does not have a serial link to debug it.
On the other side, the user report that buttons and leds work fine.

f4exb · 2010-11-16 07:35:38

Yes Alt-F does work with revision C1 and has kernel NFS support.
Thanks for all the good work!
Now I have to find a replacement for the door stop :-)

Best regards.

It might be worth posting this on the main forum. I could imagine there might be a few C board owners who wanted to install debian for a newer kernel.

4 years later... but thank you bernd123 I used your method to unbrick my B1!

abingarten · 2014-11-24 17:44:28

Hi Guys,

I'm new to this topic but have some experience with embedded linux systems. I also managed to install debian on my DNS 323 but got a weird issue now: ETH0 is gone and isn't detected by UDEV anymore.
I've no idea what is/was going on.

Here is a snipped from the log:
It seems like some directories are missing?!

Many thanks for your help!
