-Ubiquiti Networks RouterStation Pro (routerstationpro)
-======================================================
-
-The RouterStation Pro is an Atheros AR7161 MIPS-based board. Geared towards
-networking applications, it has all of the usual features as well as three
-type IIIA mini-PCI slots and an on-board 3-port 10/100/1000 Ethernet switch,
-in addition to the 10/100/1000 Ethernet WAN port which supports
-Power-over-Ethernet.
-
-Setup instructions
-------------------
-
-You will need the following:
-* A serial cable - female to female (or female to male + gender changer)
- NOTE: cable must be straight through, *not* a null modem cable.
-* USB flash drive or hard disk that is able to be powered from the
- board's USB port.
-* tftp server installed on your workstation
-
-NOTE: in the following instructions it is assumed that /dev/sdb corresponds
-to the USB disk when it is plugged into your workstation. If this is not the
-case in your setup then please be careful to substitute the correct device
-name in all commands where appropriate.
-
---- Preparation ---
-
-1) Build an image (e.g. core-image-minimal) using "routerstationpro" as the
-MACHINE
-
-2) Partition the USB drive so that primary partition 1 is type Linux (83).
-Minimum size depends on your root image size - core-image-minimal probably
-only needs 8-16MB, other images will need more.
-
- # fdisk /dev/sdb
- Command (m for help): p
-
- Disk /dev/sdb: 4011 MB, 4011491328 bytes
- 124 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1019 cylinders, total 7834944 sectors
- Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
- Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
- I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
- Disk identifier: 0x0009e87d
-
- Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
- /dev/sdb1 62 1952751 976345 83 Linux
-
-3) Format partition 1 on the USB as ext3
-
- # mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1
-
-4) Mount partition 1 and then extract the contents of
-tmp/deploy/images/core-image-XXXX.tar.bz2 into it (preserving permissions).
-
- # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
- # cd /media/sdb1
- # tar -xvjpf tmp/deploy/images/core-image-XXXX.tar.bz2
-
-5) Unmount the USB drive and then plug it into the board's USB port
-
-6) Connect the board's serial port to your workstation and then start up
-your favourite serial terminal so that you will be able to interact with
-the serial console. If you don't have a favourite, picocom is suggested:
-
- $ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
-
-7) Connect the network into eth0 (the one that is NOT the 3 port switch). If
-you are using power-over-ethernet then the board will power up at this point.
-
-8) Start up the board, watch the serial console. Hit Ctrl+C to abort the
-autostart if the board is configured that way (it is by default). The
-bootloader's fconfig command can be used to disable autostart and configure
-the IP settings if you need to change them (default IP is 192.168.1.20).
-
-9) Make the kernel (tmp/deploy/images/vmlinux-routerstationpro.bin) available
-on the tftp server.
-
-10) If you are going to write the kernel to flash (optional - see "Booting a
-kernel directly" below for the alternative), remove the current kernel and
-rootfs flash partitions. You can list the partitions using the following
-bootloader command:
-
- RedBoot> fis list
-
-You can delete the existing kernel and rootfs with these commands:
-
- RedBoot> fis delete kernel
- RedBoot> fis delete rootfs
-
---- Booting a kernel directly ---
-
-1) Load the kernel using the following bootloader command:
-
- RedBoot> load -m tftp -h <ip of tftp server> vmlinux-routerstationpro.bin
-
-You should see a message on it being successfully loaded.
-
-2) Execute the kernel:
-
- RedBoot> exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=2 board=UBNT-RSPRO"
-
-Note that specifying the command line with -c is important as linux-yocto does
-not provide a default command line.
-
---- Writing a kernel to flash ---
-
-1) Go to your tftp server and gzip the kernel you want in flash. It should
-halve the size.
-
-2) Load the kernel using the following bootloader command:
-
- RedBoot> load -r -b 0x80600000 -m tftp -h <ip of tftp server> vmlinux-routerstationpro.bin.gz
-
-This should output something similar to the following:
-
- Raw file loaded 0x80600000-0x8087c537, assumed entry at 0x80600000
-
-Calculate the length by subtracting the first number from the second number
-and then rounding the result up to the nearest 0x1000.
-
-3) Using the length calculated above, create a flash partition for the kernel:
-
- RedBoot> fis create -b 0x80600000 -l 0x240000 kernel
-
-(change 0x240000 to your rounded length -- change "kernel" to whatever
-you want to name your kernel)
-
---- Booting a kernel from flash ---
-
-To boot the flashed kernel perform the following steps.
-
-1) At the bootloader prompt, load the kernel:
-
- RedBoot> fis load -d -e kernel
-
-(Change the name "kernel" above if you chose something different earlier)
-
-(-e means 'elf', -d 'decompress')
-
-2) Execute the kernel using the exec command as above.
-
---- Automating the boot process ---
-
-After writing the kernel to flash and testing the load and exec commands
-manually, you can automate the boot process with a boot script.
-
-1) RedBoot> fconfig
- (Answer the questions not specified here as they pertain to your environment)
-2) Run script at boot: true
- Boot script:
- .. fis load -d -e kernel
- .. exec
- Enter script, terminate with empty line
- >> fis load -d -e kernel
- >> exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=2 board=UBNT-RSPRO"
- >>
-3) Answer the remaining questions and write the changes to flash:
- Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y
- ... Erase from 0xbfff0000-0xc0000000: .
- ... Program from 0x87ff0000-0x88000000 at 0xbfff0000: .
-4) Power cycle the board.
