Re: [ts-7000] TS7200 Kernel update problems

["Janne Mäntyharju" <>]

I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, that vmlinux image was loaded via serialport by ymodem prior to deleting vmlinux image in flash.
Now, after loading vmlinux in memory, if I issue command 'RedBoot> fis create vmlinux', response is: Can't locate c0000(786432) bytes free in FLASH

This is weird, because new kernel image is smaller that the one with the board was shipped.

Is it normat that at startup redboot reports available flash address space to be 'FLASH: 0x60000000 - 0x60800000, 64 blocks of 0x00020000 bytes each.', but in fis list, address space seems to much larger:

RedBoot> fis list
Name              FLASH addr  Mem addr    Length      Entry point
(reserved)        0x60000000  0x60000000  0x00E20000  0x00000000
RedBoot           0x60E20000  0x60E20000  0x00040000  0x00000000
RedBoot config    0x60FC0000  0x60FC0000  0x00001000  0x00000000
FIS directory     0x60FE0000  0x60FE0000  0x00020000  0x00000000

Load new kernel image to memory first (ex. using tftp) after deleting old
image.

RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00218000 -h <tftp_server> <image_file>

please ensure you can reach tftp_server & tftpd run on tftp_server.

instead of those, issue this command:

RedBoot> fis create vmlinux

It can also be compressed image (i.e zImage) depends on your new image.

RedBoot> reset

wish it can help.
