X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/html/index.html?a=commitdiff_plain;h=64430efe6960bee0d0a392c0391d815a70a1805d;p=u-boot.git

arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Update README.marvell file

Include information about permanent ethernet MAC address and add link how
to build ATF as U-Boot on Espressobin cannot be flashed without ATF.

+Permanent ethernet MAC address
+-------------------------------
+	Prior flashing new U-Boot version (as part of ATF image) it is suggested to backup
+	permanent ethernet MAC address as it is stored only in U-Boot env storage (SPI or eMMC).
+	Some boards like EspressoBin have MAC address printed on sticker. To print current MAC
+	address run:
+
+		# echo $ethaddr
+
+	MAC addresses 00:51:82:11:22:00, 00:51:82:11:22:01, 00:51:82:11:22:02, 00:51:82:11:22:03
+	and F0:AD:4E:03:64:7F are default hardcoded values found in Marvell's and Armbian U-Boot
+	forks and therefore *not* unique. Usage of static hardcoded MAC addresses should be avoided.
+	When original address is lost (e.g. erased by Armbian boot scripts for EspressoBin) it is
+	suggested to generate new random one.
+
+	After flashing new U-Boot version it is suggested to reset U-Boot env variables to default
+	and then set correct permanent ethernet MAC address.
+
+		# env default -a
+		# setenv ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
+		# saveenv
+
+	Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is permanent ethernet MAC address.
+
+	Recent Linux kernel versions use correct permanent ethernet MAC address from U-Boot env as
+	U-Boot will inject it into kernel's device-tree.
