- SoC: Marvell 88F6702 1200Mhz
- SDRAM memory: 256MB DDR2 400Mhz
- Gigabit ethernet: Realtek (over pcie)
- Flash memory: 128MB
- 1 Power button
- 1 Power LED (blue)
- 5 Status LED (green/red)
- 1 Copy/Sync button
- 1 Reset button
- 2 SATA II port (1 internal and 1 external)
- 2 USB 2.0 ports (1 front and 1 back)
- Smart fan
The stock u-boot cannot read ubi so it should be replaced with the
LEDE/OpenWRT's u-boot or with a u-boot from here
https://github.com/mibodhi/u-boot-kirkwood
This device's boot ROM supports "kwboot" tool
(in mainline u-boot, built automatically if CONFIG_KIRKWOOD is declared)
that sends an uboot image to the board over serial connection, it is very easy to unbrick.
The stock bootloader can use usb and read from FAT filesystems,
so the installation process is simple, place the uboot file on a USB flashdrive
formatted as FAT (here it is "openwrt-kirkwood-nsa310.bin", then connect TTL
to the board and write the following commands in the bootloader console:
usb reset
fatload usb 0 0x1000000 openwrt-kirkwood-nsa310.bin
nand write 0x1000000 0x00000 0x100000
reset
Now you are rebooting in the new u-boot, write this in its console to install the firmware:
usb reset
fatload usb 0 0x2000000 lede-kirkwood-nsa310b-squashfs-factory.bin
nand erase.part ubi
nand write 0x2000000 ubi 0x600000
If your firmware file is bigger than 6 MiBs you should write its size in hex
instead of 0x600000 above, or remove that number entirely (it will take a while in this case).
If you are using another uboot that can read ubi, set mtdparts like this
mtdparts=mtdparts=orion_nand:0x00c0000(uboot),0x80000(uboot_env),0x7ec0000(ubi)
And set your bootcmd to be like this
bootcmd=run setenv bootargs; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000
Then you can install the firmware as described above.
After you installed (or configured) the u-boot for booting the firmware,
write the device's mac address in the ethaddr u-boot env.
The MAC address is usually on a sticker under the device (one of the two codes is the serial),
it should begin with "107BEF" as it is assigned to ZyXEL.
write in the u-boot console (use your MAC address instead of the example)
setenv ethaddr 10:7B:EF:00:00:00
saveenv
to save the mac address in the u-boot.

Using pad-to instead of passing the optional padding to append-kernel
or append-rootfs. It could be that the value of a variable is passed.
In case the variable is empty no error is thrown.
Furthermore the purpose of the extra parameter is hard to get without
reading the code.

Only add them where they are actually required.
Should help with compatibility issues with stock U-Boot images that
access UBI

Now that the "sysupgrade-nand" step is used by non-NAND targets as well,

It is used by a core build template, so the variable should be

The new image requires `bootz` because of devicetree appending.
To flash a new image boot initramfs:
tftpboot 0x800000 openwrt-kirkwood-dockstar-initramfs-kernel.bin
bootz 0x800000
# detach if already attached
ubidetach -p /dev/$(grep ubi /proc/mtd|awk -F: '{print $1}')
# scp openwrt-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-factory.bin /tmp
ubiformat -f /tmp/openwrt-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-factory.bin
# attach is important to resize rootfs_data otherwise it wont boot
ubiattach -p /dev/$(grep ubi /proc/mtd|awk -F: '{print $1}')

Variables dependend on JFFS2_BLOCKSIZE and NANDBLOCK_SIZE are used
for template generation, so need to be present before inclusion of

So move all declarations to before any includes.

Support is added only for kernel 3.14 - do not show it until
the switch is made.
Following uboot env changes are needed to make it work on stock uboot:
Previous patch was pushed due to false user report. While at it fix alphabetic
ordering.
The board is optimized for ubi(fs) and boots OpenWrt without changes to uboot
environment if OpenWrt's uboot package is used. In order to flash the image run
following commands in uboot shell:
nand erase 0x200000 0x1fe00000
ubi part root ; ubi remove rootfs ; ubi create rootfs
tftpboot 0x800000 openwrt-kirkwood-iconnect-rootfs.ubifs ; ubi write 0x800000 rootfs ${filesize} ; reset
