制作Cubie版OpenWRT(功能齐全,大小仅有11M)

Allwinner Sun4i/5i/6i/7i (sunxi)

Various vendors are offering development boards / single-board computer based on the Allwinner SoCs. These are running various flavors of the A1x/A20 SoCs, with different buildouts. The mach is called "sunxi".

For some specs rather see Allwinner_Technology#A-Series.

UEXT is an open standard port to provide serial, I²C and SPI expansion ports.

Installation

This section details what is required to install and upgrade OpenWrt. The generic procedure is described here: generic.flashing; this devices don't have a flash chip soldered to the PCB but an SD-Card slot.

Status

Patches have been back-ported from the http://linux-sunxi.org/ community, including device trees, clocks, timers, PIO, ethernet, USB, and, MMC. These patches are currently being mainlined - eta. Linux 3.14 and 3.15 - by the community.

  • SPL: done
  • u-boot: done
  • kernel: done
  • rootfs: done

You have the option to boot the board from initramfs, SD card (recommended), USB storage, or NFS.

Working

  • SD/MMC
  • USB EHCI/OHCI
  • EMAC (10/100 Mbps)
  • A20 GMAC (10/100/1000 Mbps)
  • SATA
  • Clocks
  • Timers
  • SMP with HYP patches for 2014.04 u-boot
  • Various devices, GPIO, IR

Being worked on

  • NAND (have some snippets already)
  • SPI (need integration)

Not being worked on

  • Sound - need bump to 3.18

Installation process

 

Pre-built SD card images

You can build an SD card image directly from buildroot for your device.

  • Run make menuconfig
  • Select device profile - f.e. BananaPi
  • Start the build
  • The built SD card images will be in bin/sunxi
  • dd if=bin/sunxi/openwrt-sunxi-Bananapi-sdcard-vfat-ext4.img of=/dev/sdc

Assembling the SD card image yourself

OpenWrt trunk images are located in snapshots/trunk/sunxi/ folder.

For example if you have Cubieboard3/Cubietruck then download these files from the server:

SD layout

SD layout with 512 byte blocks:

NAME start block size
MBR 0 1 block
u-boot-with-spl.bin 16 (8 KB) ~250 KB
FAT 2048 (1 MB) 15 MB
EXT4 32768 (16 MB) rest

SD preparation

We assume /dev/mmcblk0 is the SD card and Cubietruck is the board.

  • Partition the SD card. Two partitions are created. The first is the boot partition, /dev/mmcblk0p1. The second is the root partition, /dev/mmcblk0p2.

Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
  • Re-read the new partition table layout (e.g. by removing and re-inserting the SD card).
  • Copy the SPL + U-boot image to the card

 

# dd if=bin/sunxi/uboot-sunxi-Cubietruck/openwrt-sunxi-Cubietruck-u-boot-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8
  • Create a boot (FAT32) partition.

 

# mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
  • Mount the boot partition.

 

# mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
  • Copy the U-Boot environment file uEnv.txt to the boot partition.

 

# cp bin/sunxi/uboot-sunxi-Cubietruck/openwrt-sunxi-Cubietruck-uEnv.txt /mnt/uEnv.txt
  • Copy the device tree data to the boot partition.

 

# cp bin/sunxi/sun7i-a20-cubietruck.dtb /mnt/dtb
  • Copy the kernel image to the boot partition.

 

# cp bin/sunxi/openwrt-sunxi-uImage /mnt/uImage
  • Resize the root filesystem image to match the partition size.

 

# resize2fs bin/sunxi/openwrt-sunxi-root.ext4 240M
  • Create the root filesystem.

 

# dd if=bin/sunxi/openwrt-sunxi-root.ext4 of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 bs=128k
  • Wrap up (flush buffers and unmount boot partition).

 

# sync
# umount /mnt

Upgrading OpenWrt

generic.sysupgrade

*WiP*

If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version you can upgrade using the mtd command line tool. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

For further information about the SoCs, go to http://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page
