********************* * MIPS Creator CI20 * ********************* The 'ci20_defconfig' will create a root filesystem and a kernel image under the 'output/images/' directory. This document will try to explain how to use them in order to run Buildroot in the MIPS Creator CI20 board. Assuming you are at the U-Boot prompt of the MIPS Creator CI20, you have to load the generated kernel image by using the 'tftpboot' command. In order to do that, you will need to get the network working. Here you have the instructions to set the ip address, netmask and gateway: setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x setenv netmask x.x.x.x setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x Now you have to set the ip for the TFTP server you are going to load the kernel image from, and also the name of the kernel image file (we use 'uImage' as a filename in this example): setenv serverip x.x.x.x setenv bootfile uImage And finally load the kernel image: tftpboot Now you have to extract the generated root filesystem into a USB drive or SD-Card. Here you have the instructions to boot from the two of them. You have to choose the one your prefer: From USB setenv bootargs console=ttyS4,115200 console=tty0 mem=256M@0x0 mem=768M@0x30000000 root=/dev/sda1 From SD-Card setenv bootargs console=ttyS4,115200 console=tty0 mem=256M@0x0 mem=768M@0x30000000 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 And finally run this command to boot the board: bootm
