[U-Boot] Help on getting the AT91 u-boot patch

[John Parten]

Hello Mailling List,

I am trying to build U-Boot 1.3.4 from source, for the AT91SAM9260EK development board.

I am following the instructions at http://www.linux4sam.org/twiki/bin/view/Linux4SAM/U-Boot
I get to the point where it says take the AT91 u-boot patch set

However, when I try to use ...

wget http://www.linux4sam.org/twiki/pub/Linux4SAM/U-Boot/u-boot-1.3.4-exp.diff

I get error "404 file not found"

Also I tried ...

wget http://www.linux4sam.org/pub/uboot/u-boot-1.3.4-exp/u-boot-1.3.4-exp.diff as per the table a bit further down on the page - this does not work either.

Can anyone tell me how to get the AT91 u-boot patch file please ?

... many thanks
... kind regards
... John Parten

I thought that 1.3.4 worked out of the box for AT91SAM9260EK.
2009.01 and 2009.03-rc1 are broken for AT91SAM926x, but the patch in
<http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-February/048414.html>
should fix that.

John,

You are much better off using the mainline U-Boot at this point.  It is
far more stable and it's been getting better with each release.  I
looked at the 1.3.4 patch, and nearly all of those features are in
2009.01, plus more.  The only major difference is that upstream does not
support the AT91SAM9G20-EK.

With that being said, this link seems to work:

ftp://www.linux4sam.org/pub/uboot/u-boot-1.3.4-exp/u-boot-1.3.4-exp.diff

You should probably contact the folks at Linux4Sam to tell them that
their instructions are incorrect.

I use the HEAD of each release without any problem

Try 'bootp' on an DHCP server that not immediately responds.
The timeouts are now in the range of 1ms instead of 1s.
And I don't know what other parts except network is affected
by get_timer() not returning ms values.

Indeed, I changed the information included in this webpage.

This is an ftp URL : try :
wget ftp://www.linux4sam.org/pub/uboot/u-boot-1.3.4-exp/u-boot-1.3.4-exp.diff

As we try to integrate constantly patches in mainline, you can find most of
those bits in latest u-boot revisions.

Hope that it helps.
