OKUD MAX9331
==============
The USELESS Board seems useless
* Atheros ar9331 SoC(MIPS24Kc, 400MHz, 32bit);
* 64 MiB SDRAM;
* 16 MiB NOR type SPI Flash Memory;
* 3.3V TTL UART;
* 4 GiB USB Nand Flash Disk;
* 3 RJ45 Ports;
* IEEE 802.11b/g;
* 3 User LEDs;
* 1 GPIO Button;
The useless board always shiped with the lastest barebox and kernel. OpenWRT
is supported too.
Perparing Hardware
------------------
solder the board in the back, use a TTL dongle connect to JP1.

Running barebox
---------------
Barebox can be program to the board with:
* run by u-boot from tftp server
* run barebox from RAM or burn to flash by barebox
* run from spi flash
Barebox can be started from U-Boot using tftp.
To convert barebox.bin to u-boot uImage format:
.. code-block:: sh
$ mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C none -a a0060000 -e a0060000 -n 'Barebox uImage' -d images/barebox-okud-max9331.img uImage
$ cp uImage /var/lib/tftpboot
connect your board to your tftp-server network via Ethernet.
next, setup network on MAX9331 and run:
.. code-block:: console
hornet> set ipaddr 192.168.31.17
hornet> set serverip 192.168.31.40
hornet> tftpboot 0x81000000 uImage
run from ram:
.. code-block:: console
hornet> bootm 0x81000000
or burn to flash, replace the 0x40000 to your uImage real size,
.. code-block:: console
hornet> erase 0x9f020000 +0x40000
hornet> cp.b 0x81000000 0x9f020000 0x40000
hornet> reset
if your board preinstalled with barebox:
run barebox from ram by barebox
copy the image to tftp server folder
.. code-block:: sh
$ cp images/barebox-okud-max9331.img /var/lib/tftpboot/none-barebox-max9331
enable dhcp service on the network
.. code-block:: console
global net.server=10.1.1.72
boot bnet
if you want to make it valid next boot
.. code-block:: console
nv net.server=10.1.1.72
boot bnet
update barebox by barebox
.. code-block:: console
barebox_update /mnt/tftp/none-barebox-max9331
run from spi flash
max9331 has 16MiB spi flash on board, layout is like this
.. code-block:: text
| boot0 | ... | barebox | ... | art |
by default, the barebox bootloader is not located in the begginning of flash,
instead we have a so called program boot0, it is a very simple program,
it jump to 0x9f020000 where the first instruction of barebox.
This is usefull when debug with jtag or choosing different bootloaders.
or even boot kernel without bootloader.
.. code-block:: assembly
