Apr 28 03:08:12 <builder> build #282 of lantiq is complete: Failure [failed compile_8]  Build details are at http://buildbot.openwrt.org:8010/builders/lantiq/builds/282
Apr 28 12:06:25 <megal0maniac> swalker: Just ordered 3 boxes, thanks!
Apr 28 12:08:05 <megal0maniac> rmilecki: Turns out the Dockstar-specific zImage ignores bootargs, as well as any other dtb you specify because it has the Dockstar one appended to it. I used the generic kirkwood zImage and it honours my bootargs and uses my modified .dtb file
Apr 28 12:09:17 <megal0maniac> Not sure what the advantage of the Dockstar-specific zImage is if you're going to load a .dtb and set bootargs anyway. It severely limits flexibility especially with partitioning.
Apr 28 12:09:58 <jow_laptop> megal0maniac: iirc this is due to a bothed migration to DT
Apr 28 12:10:02 <jow_laptop> *botched
Apr 28 12:10:30 <jow_laptop> I think the dockstar stuff was broken for a while, then the legacy mach stuff got reenabled
Apr 28 12:10:50 <jow_laptop> I think it just needs rework
Apr 28 12:11:28 <megal0maniac> What about just removing the target-specific zImage?
Apr 28 12:11:42 <jow_laptop> is the generic one working fine ootb?
Apr 28 12:11:56 <jow_laptop> or does one need to tack a dtb onto it?
Apr 28 12:12:15 <megal0maniac> I'm passing the dtb as a parameter to bootz
Apr 28 12:12:21 <megal0maniac> So it's done on the fly
Apr 28 12:12:48 <megal0maniac> And it isn't ignoring bootargs in u-boot, which was causing serious confusing and hair-pulling
Apr 28 12:12:48 <jow_laptop> so a user must flash the generic kernel, the dtb and adjust the uboot env?
Apr 28 12:13:28 <megal0maniac> I'd suggest the kirkwood .dtbs being part of the rootfs
Apr 28 12:13:36 <megal0maniac> But then it's just the u-boot env
Apr 28 12:14:19 <megal0maniac> It's a bit of an icky target though, in the sense that there are a ton of variations of u-boot versions and how the device is flashed
Apr 28 12:15:01 <megal0maniac> And then the whole ubifs/jffs2 transition
Apr 28 12:15:54 <jow_laptop> unfortunately my own dockstar died a while ago so I cannot really help
Apr 28 12:16:09 <jow_laptop> but from what you write it sounds to me like a documentation matter mostly
Apr 28 12:16:19 <jow_laptop> plus removing misleading / now unneeded binaries
Apr 28 12:17:13 <megal0maniac> Perhaps I should get another one and test/document the procedure from start to finish
Apr 28 12:22:26 <megal0maniac> The wiki page is a royal mess. I don't know whether removing the device specific zImage is warranted for targets like Linksys EA4500 for example
Apr 28 12:22:49 <megal0maniac> So I'll start with the wiki page I guess...
