Nach den Versionen 1 (»Holler«-Ansatz mit USB-fähigem neueren uBoot in mtd3) und 2 (UBIFS-Root in mtd3, vom Dockstar-uBoot gestartet) möchte ich heute eine dritte Variante vorstellen, wie man seinen Dockstar »um Debian erweitern« kann.
Anstatt mit mtd3, dem freien Flashbereich der Dockstars, rumzuspielen, möchte ich heute, nachdem auch die JTAG-Belegung bekannt ist und das Risiko eines dauerhaften Bricks somit geringer, das »Übel« an der Wurzel anpacken: der kastrierte leistungsarme uBoot-Loader des Dockstars.
Jeff Doozan hat es dankenswerterweise verskriptet, sodaß es eigentlich nur der Dreisprung Dockstar auspacken, das ersten Mal booten und Jeffs uBoot installieren sein sollte …

… wobei es erst einmal nach »Danger, Will Robinson!« aussieht. Aber die Warnungen sind wohl dem ersten Lauf und dem noch leeren Environment des neuen uBoot geschuldet, denn gesetzt wurde augenscheinlich alles:

Also, Mut zur Lücke und »halt« getippt. Nach ein paar Sekunden Dockstar stromlos machen, USB-Stick oder -Platte (mit /boot/uImage in Partition 1) angeschlossen und dem Affen Zucker, also dem Dockstar Energie, gegeben …
(Als Debian-Filesystem habe ich mein NFS-Root meiner besherigen Variante auf ‘nen Stick kopiert und dann meinen aktuellen 2.6.32.2er Kernel (mit den Hollerschen Dockstar-Patches) nach /boot/uImage sowie die passende Module nach /lib/modules/2.6.32.2 auf dem USB-Medium geschoben.)
… und in der Tat, der so behandelte Dockstar bootet klaglos /boot/uImage von einem ext3-formattierten USB-Stick (1 Partition) — und auch ein »shutdown -r now« wird klaglos ausgeführt, hier hing die uBoot-läd-uBoot-lädt-von-USB-Lösung ja leider. Kühl. Wenn es jetzt noch haltbare USB-Sticks gäbe …
