@luz hahaha, trying to become a full onioneer little by little.

It is the Omega2+. Here is a log of the boot process to see if I'm missing anything.

I did see that address 80800000 is outside the zone range of the memory but the load address is defined as 0x80800000 and trying to load it via tftp and booting anywhere else fails to decompress the image. Maybe thats the issue and just assumed it should work. Thought the offset would take care of that but maybe I am misunderstanding what the offset does

CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR=0x80800000

This is the update for the OnionIOT bootloader :

https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/compare/master...OnionIoT:u-boot:feature/update-version-1

Hello all,

I am trying the new updates to the OnionIOT bootloader from thier repo that support DTS and FIT. I loaded the bootloader into my onion and it boots fine. However, when I try and boot my image (via tftp since because I wiped the memory of the onion) ot gets stuck at the same line after decompressing the image. Here are some logs of the process:

@crispyoz

@crispyoz Sorry for the time it took me to reply, I got it working in my docker and it works well enough but thanks for the help

@crispyoz I am struggling a bit as I am not entirely sure what the error is coming from. I get a couple initial warnings saying dependenceis need nodejs but I do have nodejs istalled. Do you by any chance do anythign different from the Onion's repo?

@crispyoz Thanks once again. Have you built the docker yourself for the firmware image or went nother route? Not sure if you also experienced connectivity issues with the docker attempting to update the feeds

@crispyoz Thank you for your help. do you know if those can be edited after flash or it has to be done upon build?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has been able to remake or redraw the memory partitions on the onion. I want a bigger bootloader partition for a costumized uboot image I made. I just need around 300-350 kb whereas the original is around 192. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I dont brick too many onoins lol.

@crispyoz Thank

@crispyoz said in u-boot binary too large on compile:

git clone https://github.com/OnionIoT/omega2-bootloader.git

I did succesfully compile that one before but dont see a defconfig file for me to edit and play with, which is why I was using the other git repo. Am I incorrect there and there is a defconfig file I can edit? I found nothing from a find command.

I am trying to compile basic u-boot binaries using the configuration from here:
https://github.com/OnionIoT/u-boot/blob/master/configs/onion-omega2p_defconfig

I am able to succesfully compile the make but get a u-boot.bin much larger than expected. I get a u-boot.bin of 487 kb while most images i found from the Onion are arond 170 kb. Moreover the Onion has a 192kb max sixe for the bootloader so was wondering if anyone could help me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Here are the steps i took in Ubuntu 22.04.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev bc gcc-multilib
Wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/targets/ramips/mt76x8/openwrt-sdk-21.02.3-ramips-mt76x8_gcc-8.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz


tar -xvf openwrt-sdk-21.02.3-ramips-mt76x8_gcc-8.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz 
cd openwrt-sdk-21.02.3-ramips-mt76x8_gcc-8.4.0_musl.Linux-x86_64

export STAGING_DIR=$(pwd)/staging_dir
export PATH=$PATH:$STAGING_DIR/toolchain-mipsel_24kc_gcc-8.4.0_musl/bin

export CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-openwrt-linux-
git clone https://github.com/OnionIoT/u-boot.git
cd u-boot/
make onion-omega2p_defconfig
Make

@luz Thank you very much for your help I did start creating the uImages shortly after this since I was getting a Bad Magic Number but was unsure why/how until reading your post. Currently trying to create the correct uImage as I'm unsire if my current errors come from pointing in the wrong memory load adress or empty points. Still relatively new to this but I appreciate the help

I am trying to copy my bootloader (mtd0) and replace the kernel (mtd4) I know this will render the Onion "unusable", but I want to do that to have a secondary bootloader to edit and have the primary bootloader still available for if/when i brick a bootloader trying to change it and compiling.

Regardless on if I try to copy the actual u-boot itself or the given binaries from the official repo I get a permision denied error.

If anyone knows of how to give myself the correct permissions that would be great, or maybe a way to do it on a lower level such as bootloader mode.

root@Omega-8279:/# dd if=uboot-omega2p-20200512.bin of=/dev/mtd4 bs=4096
dd: can't open '/dev/mtd4': Permission denied

root@Omega-8279:/# dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=/dev/mtd4 bs=4096

crw-r-xr-x    1 root     root       90,   8 Jan  1  1970 /dev/mtd4

@Lazar-Demin Maybe I have been looking in the wrong places but how big of bootloader binaries can the Omega2S+ handle? Or maybe it is the same?

@crispyoz I understand. My hope is to be able to install some sort of secure boot on top of the current one and hoping that will be good for now until I figure something else. Thanks for your reply I will take it into account

@huntc I know this is an old topic but I am not looking for secure u-boot options for the Onion. Were you able since then to compile a u-boot image with your desired specifications? I do see from the rest of the conversations that it may not be muhc improvement on the current architecure of the Onion but still thought it may be worth a shot to ask

I am trying to set up my Onion Omega with webdav in the hopes of having a web based file manager, in the same way shellinabox allows a web based terminal. I am able to configure the lighttpd server correctly but not the webdav mod. I followed the link bellow for the webdav mod. When I curl my lighttpd server (curl 192.168.3.1) I receive what I expect, but when I do the same for the dav version with or without a password (curl 192.168.3.1/dav/ or curl -u user:pswwd 192.168.3.1/dav/) I get 401 unothaurized. Not sure how to trouble shoot as I am very ubfamiliar to lighttpd and similar web servers.

@crispyoz Thank you, I will do this now
