[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.

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.

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.

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.
