Finally, I successfully run Kuro Sheeva with eSATA drive.
I use the enclosure of GW3.5AA-SUE by Kurouto Shikou. The capability of this enclosure is 1.5Gbps. Perhaps, this might be the cause of troubles.
Successfull combination
- Kuro Sheeva
- Enclosure: GW3.5AA-SUE
- Disk: ST3750640AS
- U-boot: 1.1.4 + 3.4.27 + patch
- Kernel: Debian squeeze
Output of 'ide reset' by U-boot
Here is the output of U-boot:
Marvell>> ide reset

Failures
I failed many times by old U-boot, bad disk drives, etc. Here, I describe a failure of a drive.
The disk drive of 'Maxtor 6V250F0' works by the kernel somehow, but it doesn't work by U-boot.
Even for the kernel, it takes sometime to timeout (3.0Gbps connection?).

Installing U-boot 1.1.4 + 3.4.27 + alpha
I read enable eSATA of SheevaPlug (in Japanese), and follow its instructions. In my case, it is cross build.
Get OpenOCD
OpenOCD in Squeeze is new enough to burn flash ROM of Kuro Sheeva, though I need to kill it at the end of the process. Just do: apt-get install openocd
Get cross compiler from EmDebian
I create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emdebian.list with following content:
deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ squeeze main
Then install, binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi, gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi and others.
Build of U-boot 1.1.4 + 3.4.27 + alpha
Files are:
- u-boot-3.4.27.zip: http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=showdown&id=58
- pathch-3.4.27-pingtoo-01: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1134.0;attach=202
- u-boot-1.1.4.diff: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=909.0;attach=174
- u-boot-1.1.4: http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/u-boot/u-boot-1.1.4.tar.bz2
And I do:
$ tar xvf u-boot-1.1.4.tar.bz2 $ mv u-boot-1.1.4 u-boot-3.4.27 $ unzip -o u-boot-3.4.27.zip $ cd u-boot-3.4.27 $ patch -p1 < ../pathch-3.4.27-pingtoo-01 $ patch -p1 < ../u-boot-1.1.4.diff $ edit board/mv_feroceon/mv_kw/mv_main.c
Edit line 1127:
1127 if (devId == MV_6180_DEV_ID || boardId == RD_88F6281A_PCAC_ID || devId == MV_6280_DEV_ID || boardId == SHEEVA_PLUG_ID)
to:
1127 if (devId == MV_6180_DEV_ID || boardId == RD_88F6281A_PCAC_ID)
Then, invoke following commands:
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- mrproper $ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- rd88f6281Sheevaplug_config LE=1 NBOOT=1 USB=1
But here I see failiure because of dash. I need to edit last line of include/config.mk to remove '-e'. It is because dash's internal command 'echo' is not compatible to /bin/echo which accepts '-e' option.
Then, invoke make, and we have u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin.
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- all
Copy u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin to uboot.bin. Then invoke OpenOCD and burn it.
$ openocd -f board/sheevaplug.cfg -c init -c sheevaplug_reflash_uboot

Note that I kill openocd at the end.
U-boot settings (1)
I set following variables on U-boot.
setenv mainlineLinux yes setenv arcNumber 2678 saveenv
Install Debian Squeeze on to Flash
I read Installing Debian To Flash, and I have SD-card with Debian Squeeze installed already.
I run following commands in U-boot, to initialize IDE and SD card, then to load kernel and initial ramdisk and to kick boot process.
ide reset mmcinit ext2load mmc 0:1 0x800000 /uImage ext2load mmc 0:1 0x1100000 /uInitrd set bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 bootm 0x800000 0x1100000
Then login to Debian GNU/Linux as root. I do create UBIFS root filesystem on /dev/mtd2.
ubiformat /dev/mtd2 -s 512 ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 2 ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs -m mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt
Copy the filesystem from original.
mkdir /tmp/rootfs mount -o bind / /tmp/rootfs cd /tmp/rootfs sync cp -a . /mnt/
and create /etc/fstab, which includes following two lines at least.
/dev/root / ubifs defaults,noatime,rw 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,nodev 0 0
Setup of eSATA disk
I decide put /boot, /var, and /home partitions on eSATA. And create those partition by cfdisk. Then, I make filesystem and swap on those partitions.:
mke2fs -L boot /dev/sda1 mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4 -L var /dev/sda3 mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/sda4
I put following entries into /etc/fstab:
LABEL=boot /boot ext2 defaults 0 0 LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0 LABEL=var /var ext4 defaults 0 2 LABEL=home /home ext4 defaults 0 2
Then, mount boot on /mnt and copy contents of /boot, unmount it.
Then, mount var on /mnt and copy contents of /var, unmount it.
Then, mount home on /mnt and copy contents of /home, unmount it.
Then, invoke:
shutdown -r now
U-boot settings (2)
On reboot, I do following settings on U-boot.
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs' setenv bootcmd_nand 'nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000' setenv bootcmd_sata 'ide reset; ext2load ide 1:1 0x800000 /uImage; ext2load ide 1:1 0x1100000 /uInitrd' setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_sata; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000' saveenv
Here, I save original nand boot process into bootcmd_nand variable. When I will want to boot from flash, I will do:
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_nand; bootm 0x800000' saveenv
