| 15:08.15 | lyakh | is there any work in progress to make a native (first stage) LE bootloader for NSLU2? |
| 15:09.42 | mwester-road | lyakh: APEX works and boots any endian kernel. |
| 15:10.11 | mwester-road | I don't remember if it is big or little endian itself; it doesn't matter in the least |
| 15:11.01 | lyakh | well, the kernel can only be booted with the CPU in a certain endianness, right? |
| 15:11.49 | mwester-road | Yes, and the bootloader needs to ensure that the machine id and the endianness are set correctly, IIRC. Apex does so. Redboot on the NSLU2 does not. |
| 15:12.19 | mwester-road | As long as the bootloader sets things up correctly before passing control to the kernel, it matters not what endianness the bootloader uses. |
| 15:12.23 | lyakh | right, so, at least directly before booting the kernel apex has to switch to LE? |
| 15:12.29 | lyakh | yep |
| 15:13.26 | mwester-road | The recommended solution for the NSLU2 is to use the native redboot to load apex as a second-stage bootloader; apex then sets the machine id and endianness correctly. This eliminates the risk that users will brick the device by reflashing bootloaders. |
| 15:14.01 | lyakh | and can one halt in bootloader prompt to load kernel manually or some such? which bootloader would it be then - redboot or apex? |
| 15:14.13 | lyakh | yeah, but there's console and jtag extensions? |
| 15:14.43 | lyakh | does one have to solder or are there headers installed? |
| 15:16.07 | mwester-road | solder |
| 15:16.11 | mwester-road | jtag on most devices |
| 15:16.24 | mwester-road | if you have jtag, feel free to reflash bootloaders. |
| 15:16.54 | mwester-road | most don't have skills or equipment, so we do not recommend replacing the bootloader |
| 15:17.15 | mwester-road | You can halt in the bootloader to do all sorts of things. The wiki has much informaiton on this. |
| 15:17.31 | mwester-road | gotta run to the airport now. Good luck. |

| 15:22.13 | lyakh_ | sorry, had ISP problems... last I sent: |
| 15:22.18 | lyakh_ | and can one halt in bootloader prompt to load kernel manually or some such? which bootloader would it be then - redboot or apex? |
| 15:22.22 | lyakh_ | yeah, but there's console and jtag extensions? |
| 15:22.25 | lyakh_ | does one have to solder or are there headers installed? |
| 15:22.44 | lyakh_ | and didn't get any answers (well, if there have been any:-)) |
| 15:28.51 | lyakh_ | ok, I have been lazy:-) it is described on wiki. cool, there's even the header installed! so, no losing guarantee! |
| 15:29.21 | lyakh_ | no, there's not:-( |
| 15:30.17 | lyakh_ | oh, ttl too... |
