Try Sandisk.

That would be the version before 2017.07-tld-1:

Last Updated 28 Oct 2017
Updated 06 Dec 2017 (replace Sheevaplug with newer version 2017.07-tld-2)

I've uploaded 2017.07-tld-1 U-Boot images for Pogo E02, GoFlexNet, GoFlex Home, Dockstar, Pogo V4/Mobile, iConnect, Netgear Stora, Sheevaplug, NSA320, NSA325, NSA310S/320S, NSA310, HP-T5325, and Dreamplug.

The HP Thin Client T5325 installation procedure is different from other Kirkwood u-boots, see this thread for installation instruction and download link..

The Marvell Dreamplug box installation procedure is different from other Kirkwood u-boots, see this thread for installation instruction and download link.

New/updated in 2017.07-tld-1 version:

- Rebase u-boot code to track mainline 2017.07.
- Incorporated patch to fix "EHCI timed out on TD" error with USB drives.
- SD cards: Use the mainline version of MMC driver for Pogo V4/Mobile and Sheevaplug

Yes. It is 1Gbs.

The dove-wyse-t50.dts file I've attached is an example of how to proceed. This SoC DTS tree has everything we need already (except Ethernet which might take some works). We just need to turn it on in the dove-wyse-t50.dts. See the SPI and PCIe nodes? we don't repeat the whole definition, just the status.

It looks very good! everything seems to work.

Ethernet is an issue that can be resolved by looking inside stock OS, or the GPL source.

I expected the envs contains mtdparts definition, so we don't have to calculate it. But it was apparently not available so I need to define the layout.

I've checked the uImage of the original system but it doesn't have a dtb file appended.

This stock kernel is too old to have DTB in it. Flatten Device Tree was introduced into the Linux kernel circa 3.16. In a non-FDT kernek, all hardware devices were defined in the source code. Therefore GPL is an easy way to find info.

igrblkv,


Problem no.1 and Problem no.2 are OK.

You are in stock OS, and the fw_printenv/setenv are not available.

The bad blocks are far away from mtd0, where u-boot is.

Problem no.3

New u-boot installation does not require mtdparts and ethaddr. A local MAC address will be used. And then you can set it to the real one later.

igrblkv,

1. When hacking, ie. installing u-boot and rootfs, you should be root. Never use sudo. sudo is for a standard user.

2. Can I load the old system (aka stock OS) with the new uBoot?

No it will not work with stock OS.

3. See here for Debian rootfs installation:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Latest released kernel:linux-4.17.2-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 (23 June 2018)
Latest released rootfs: Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (24 Jul 2017)

Note: If this is your first time installation, then you need rootfs Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (this has kernel 4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 already installed).

- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils.

Log in to Arch, and set mtdparts: 

fw_setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),6M(uImage),-(root)'

Reboot. Log back into Arch. 

cat /proc/mtd


Now look at the mtd dumps one more time to confrimr (this time use the -h option to see the size better). 

ls -larth mtd

Not sure I understand this.... Do I run it from /proc?

I get:- 

[root@alarm /]# cd /proc
[root@alarm proc]#  ls -larth mtd
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Aug 12 18:10 mtd

[root@alarm proc]# cat mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00600000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 0f900000 00020000 "root"

Now do I run:- 

flash_erase /dev/mtd0
nandwrite -on /dev/mtd0 mtd0
flash_erase /dev/mtd1
nandwrite -on /dev/mtd1 mtd1
flash_erase /dev/mtd2
nandwrite -on /dev/mtd2 mtd2

Presumably I need to mount the USB stick first and cd to the directory which contains mtd0 mtd1 mtd2...

cd /mnt/usb/tools

./flash_erase /dev/mtd1
./nandwrite -on /dev/mtd1 /mnt/usb/mtd/mtd1
./flash_erase /dev/mtd2

Your Arch mtds now is the same as stock. So yes, you are ready to flash the nanddumped mtds. 

[root@alarm ~]# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00600000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 0f900000 00020000 "root"

Now for sanity. Recall you listed the mtds in stock OS this way. 

bash-3.2# ls -al mtd 
total 262424 
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 11 12:15 . 
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 11 12:04 .. 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1048576 Aug 11 12:15 mtd0 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6291456 Aug 11 12:15 mtd1 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 261095424 Aug 11 12:17 mtd2

Now repeat that with -h so that we can see the size of the mtd dumps in MBytes. 

 
cd /mnt/usb
ls -lath mtd

To make the binaries executable 

cd /mnt/usb/tools
chmod +x flash_erase
chmod +x flash_erase

And your script looks OK 

cd /mnt/usb/tools
./flash_erase /dev/mtd0
./nandwrite -on /dev/mtd0 /mnt/usb/mtd/mtd0
./flash_erase /dev/mtd1
./nandwrite -on /dev/mtd1 /mnt/usb/mtd/mtd1
./flash_erase /dev/mtd2
./nandwrite -on /dev/mtd2 /mnt/usb/mtd/mtd2
