To replace RedBoot with +barebox, you first need to connect a serial console to the device. + +UART1 is located on the Molex header X39. When the Vincell is lying on the +display, then Pin 1 on the header is in the lower right: + + * Pin 1 - GND + * Pin 2 - TXD1 + * Pin 3 - RXD1 + +If everything is connected right, RedBoot shows up on the console. + +factory_bootstrap +----------------- + +Turn on the board and abort the boot process with ``Ctrl-C``. +Configure RedBoot so that it finds the barebox image on your TFTP server. +Execute ``fc`` and change the network setup according to your environment. +Be sure to copy the `Boot script` line to the prompt, otherwise it will be +set empty. The network setup can be validated with ``ping -h <serverip>``. +If the network setup is working properly, barebox can be loaded into memory:: + + load -v -r -b 0x80100000 barebox-guf-vincell-lt.img + exec + +Once in barebox, the bootloader can now be persisted to NAND:: + + barebox_update -t nand /mnt/tftp/barebox-guf-vincell-lt.img`` |
