Using the generic FS (ls/load) makes +it even easier to work with FAT/EXT file systems. +For this example the second EXT partition is used for booting and as rootfs. +The boot files - kernel and the dtb are present in the /boot directory of the +second partition. + +Odroid # usb start +(Re)start USB... +USB0: USB EHCI 1.00 +scanning bus 0 for devices... 4 USB Device(s) found + scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found + scanning usb for ethernet devices... +Error: sms0 address not set. <----- Note the error as usbethaddr +Warning: failed to set MAC address <----- is not set. +1 Ethernet Device(s) found +Odroid # usb part 0 + +Partition Map for USB device 0 -- Partition Type: DOS + +Part Start Sector Num Sectors UUID Type + 1 3072 263168 000c4046-01 06 + 2 266240 13457408 000c4046-02 83 + +Odroid # ls usb 0:2 /boot + 4096 . + 4096 .. + 353 boot.scr + 281 boot.txt + 101420 config-3.8.13.23 + 2127254 initrd.img-3.8.13.23 + 2194825 uInitrd + 2194825 uInitrd-3.8.13.23 + 2453112 zImage + 101448 config-3.8.13.26 + 2127670 uInitrd-3.8.13.26 + 2127606 initrd.img-3.8.13.26 + 3194200 zImage.3.17 <--- Kernel + 46935 exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb <--- DTB +Odroid # load usb 0:2 40080000 /boot/zImage.3.17 +3194200 bytes read in 471 ms (6.5 MiB/s) +Odroid # load usb 0:2 42000000 /boot/exynos4412-odroidu3.dtb +46935 bytes read in 233 ms (196.3 KiB/s) +Odroid # setenv bootargs console=ttySAC1,115200n8 root=/dev/sda2 rootwait +Odroid # bootz 40080000 - 42000000 +Kernel image @ 0x40080000 [ 0x000000 - 0x30bd58 ] +## Flattened Device Tree blob at 42000000 + Booting using the fdt blob at 0x42000000 + Loading Device Tree to 4fff1000, end 4ffff756 ...
