Unable to build U-Boot

[zulok]

Hello

I am a beginner trying to compile Tuxbox for Dreambox following Bengt Mårtensson's instructions (http://bengt-martensson.de/dbox2/newmak ... cture.html).
I have been able to compile yadd and flash enigma images but I cannot build u-boot (make serversupport) to test YADD build. These are the messages I think could give a hint of the error.

[david@localhost cdk]$ make serversupport

I have tried to figure out wether it is a problem with the patching of lcd.c but I guess it is not. I am using u-boot-2012.04.tar.bz2 with u-boot-2011.06.diff

thanks for any help

Hello

I have found that line 366 of lcd.c should be replaced as:
- size = NetLoop (TFTP);
+ size = NetLoop (TFTPGET);

and line 86 of fb.c as well.

I have modified u-boot-2011.06.diff so that it becomes automatic.

And it works

Yadd on dreambox works differently than yadd on dbox.

You'll probably need to set something on the bootloader to be able to boot the kernel via tftp and pass the options to the kernel to use nfs root.

I have this on dm500 but it was a real PITA due to its crappy bootloader, so I only used it to recover the box after flashing a bad imaga

I don't know about other dreamboxes, so you'll probably need to do other things.

Trying to boot a U-Boot build for d-box2 on any dreambox will not get you very far.

Thank you very much Seife. Actually i can build images but I wanted to test with a YADD before flashing so not to damange anything. Have you testes YADD with Dreamboxes?

[seife]

Yes, but it has been years ago.

Basically, you export the rootfs via NFS, then tftpboot the kernel with apropriate parameters to boot from the NFS root.

If you don't know what to do from my description above, you'd better not try it

[zulok]

Thanks Seife

Well, I do not know exactly how to do (parameters, end so on) it but I understand what you are telling me. Anyway, there is only ona way to learn...
