Backing up the current firmware from U-Boot over serial can take hours.
Booting a working Linux image for backup purposes is not always an option.
Using the tftpput command in U-Boot is the fastest and easiest way.
tftpput will upload the contents of a memory region to the TFTP server.
The IP address of the server is stored in the serverip variable.
Usage:
tftpput <memaddr> <length> <filename>
Example for a complete flash backup of an o2 Box 6431 (VGV7510KW22):
VGV7510KW22 # tftpput 0xB0000000 0x1000000 o2boxbackup.bin

split kexec-tools into two packages, kexec and kdump.
* kexec to simply execute a new kernel
* kdump is for loading and collecting debris of a crashed kernel with
support for kdump forensics.
In order to properly support booting into a crashkernel, an init script
as well as UCI configuration has been added.
As modifying the kernel cmdline is required for this to work in x86
platforms use an uci-defaults script to modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
To test collecting crash information, use the 'c' sysrq-trigger, ie.
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
This should result in the crash kernel being executed and (depending
on the configution) dmesg and/or vmcore getting saved.
To check if the crash kernel was loaded properly, use the 'status'
command of the kdump init script.

EnGenius ENS202EXT is an outdoor wireless access point with
2-port 10/100 switch, detachable antennas and proprietery PoE.
The device is based on Qualcomm/Atheros AR9341 v1.
Specifications:
- 535/400/200 MHz (CPU/DDR/AHB)
- 64 MB of RAM
- 16 MB of FLASH
- UART (J1) header on PCB (unpopulated)
- 2x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 2.4 GHz, up to 26dBm
- 2x external, detachable antennas
- 7x LED, 1x button
Flash instructions:
You have three options:
- Use the vendor firmware upgrade page on the web interface and give
it the factory.img. This is the easiest way to go about it.
- If you have serial access during u-boot, interrupt the normal boot
(any key before timeout) and run 'run failsafe_boot'; this will bring
you to a minimal openwrt luci image on ip 192.168.1.1 useful if you've
bricked the normal firmware.
- Use the vendor's management cli, which can be accessed via telnet
with the same credentials as the web login (default admin:admin), then
issue the following commands:
*** Hi admin, welcome to use cli(V-1.6.7) ***

The base model is a smaller version of ClearFog Pro without

Use fixed led names and add each board variant instead of manipulating
the board name.
It makes the ramips board name function less different to the one used
in other targets and allows to merge them with a common function.

The Pistachio target is a MIPS interaptiv based SoC developed by
Imagination Technologies. It includes blocks for i2c, spi, audio,
usb and WiFi.
This also adds the base support for the 'Creator Ci40 (marduk)'
device which uses the Pistachio SoC to create an IoT hub by
including Bluetooth, WiFi and 6lowpan on one board. Additionally 2x
Mikrobus ports are available to expand with further RF technologies
or add sensors. You can find out more here http://creatordev.io.
Note, this commit is just the initial board support hence the
following are not expected to work yet:
* WiFi
* Bluetooth
* 6lowpan
* Audio
* Mikrobus uarts, user leds (clock dependency of 6lowpan chip)
The aim of this commit is to essentially have the same level of
support that currently exists in the mainline kernel.

This is needed for the definition of $(LINUX_DIR). This is used in
u-boot.mk to change the device-tree compiler to the dtc used by
linux.
Without this, the build will use the system dtc. This results in a
build failure when a dtc does not exist outside the buildroot.

Specifying USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC is no longer needed, as it is the
default.
Patch 001 is removed, since it was already merged upstream. Patches
100 and 101 are removed because they do not appear to be needed

Because they were hidden, there was no way to disable the uboot
targets in menuconfig, so they had to be built every time. The omap
target is the only one to hide uboot packages. To be consistent with
the other targets, and have more control over the build, un-hide the
u-boot packages.
Note that the default behavior remains unchanged, as uboot will be
built unless explicitly disabled.
