hello
I can't get console running on my RB433GL
- there is no output from original loader
- anyway netboot button works, so I can run self prepared openwrt image
- console output works, but it does not accept any char
it's probably disabled somewhere deep in cpu, but documentation for AR1761 is not public available
Q1 anyone knows how to enable it in kernel code?
Q2 is there any open sourced loader for this CPU?
best regards
Q3 is no-uart interpreded somewhere?
this is added by routerboot
here is my command line:
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: GPIO_RESET=yes no-uart gpio=2867 HZ=4000000
00 mem=128M kmac=00:0C:42:BE:9E:E6 board=433GL boot=0 mlc=2 rootfstype=yaffs noi
nitrd console=ttyS0,115200n8 ip=:::::eth0
Q5 why 'bootconsole disabled' is displayed twice?

[ 4.130000] console [ttyS0] enabled, bootconsole disabled
[ 4.130000] console [ttyS0] enabled, bootconsole disabled
uhh.. found it!
I just need to setup GPIO9 as input
__raw_writel(__raw_readl(gpio_base + AR71XX_GPIO_REG_OE) & ~(1 << 9),
gpio_base + AR71XX_GPIO_REG_OE);
//GPIO 10 as output
__raw_writel(__raw_readl(gpio_base + AR71XX_GPIO_REG_OE) | (1 << 10),
gpio_base + AR71XX_GPIO_REG_OE);
I am having the same problem with RB 411GL
Please tell me how to insert the code you have described into my boot image
here it the output from TTL serial soldered to RB 411GL board

Console and code on RB411GL should not be a problem.
You have to add new arch named '411G' by some copy-paste-replace for example from '411' architecture.
Anyway there is more hardcore with 'L' boards.
No one have a schematics (or description) showing how NAND is connected to CPU's GPIOs.
If you need more details, please ask.
Best regards.
Thanks for your help.
I had tried serial console before but had discovered Mikrotik has disabled it. When you posted that it in fact did work with a OpenWRT boot image I decided to give it another try.
I'll need to do some more reading to find what areas I need to change.
I'll compile another image and give it a try.

Can you direct me to instructions on how to add this arch to get it to boot?
I assume this is a manual edit of one of the config files. I can't find this option in make menuconfig.
Which file needs to be edited and where is it located? Thanks for any help.
It's not only configuration, you have to write some new code.
First of all look into mach-rb4xx.c and add new arch for example:
MIPS_MACHINE(ATH79_MACH_RB_411G, "411G", "MikroTik RouterBOARD 411G",
rb411g_setup);
Then write a new rb411g_setup function (for start just copy rb411_setup)
Before compilation this file is located in target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ath79 dir.
During compilation copies of this file are used.
To define ATH79_MACH_RB_411G you have to create new version of arch/mips/ath79/machtypes.h
by creating new 610-MIPS-ath79-openwrt-machines.patch
You may also need to modify some scripts
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/lib/ar71xx.sh
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/02_network
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/diag.sh
Hope, don't forgot something.
Everything should work expect NAND.
Good luck.
Ah.... those small letters makes big differences in microtics boards.
RB411G ethernet is not like in RB411, you have probably enable it in different way.
Thanks so much for the direction!
I'm out of work so I'll have some time to tinker and see what happens.
I have also bought 433GL and it seems like a mistake for now. I can't get console working and my default netboot image seems not to boot. I thought it was same sa 433 and 435G ...
Small letters at the end of board name makes big differences. Different switch chipsets are often used. Also all *L versions have NAND connected is some magic way to GPIOs.
seems so. But 435G was very good investment.. works like a charm when image is generated for 433x.. So I thought 433GL wouldn't bw much different..
Does anyone have working openwrt on it?
Is anyone able to get 411GL flashed (not just netboot) with openwrt ? Could someone please answer these questions. I don't have the board yet. Decision to buy or not depends on whether it can be successfully used with openwrt
1) What GigE chip does it use and is the driver included in openwrt ?
2) Where to solder TTL serial ? I have been staring at the board image quite a while and can't find any header or pin holes
Appreciate if someone can post detailed instructions of serial soldering and openwrt changes needed if any.
Found the TTL pins (3v3, GND, TX, RX) under miniPCI card. Now, if someone could post instructions to flash OpenWRT on this, that would be great
1) gbit eth should work
2) afair, nand is not supported yet, so you can't flash it
