Layerscape Quick Start
-1. Layerscape target support
+This is a quick start guide for Layerscape specific usage, like introducing
+how to configure, build, and deploy OpenWrt to Layerscape boards, so that
+users can bring up the board without difficulty.

Note: The first time make menuconfig would create a .config file which
would include all dependencies for selected target. After that, make

-3. Program NOR/QSPI flash or SD card
-------------------------------------
-The firmware.bin or sdcard.img is an all-in-one image including all things for
-OpenWrt staring up. (except LS1012AFRWY. Refer to 3.3.)
+3. Deploy
+---------
+The firmware.bin or sdcard.img is an all-in-one image including all things
+for OpenWrt staring up except LS1012AFRWY (Refer to 3.3).
If you want to install all things into flash, please use firmware.bin.
If you want to install all things into SD card, please use sdcard.img.
---------------------------------
sdcard.img could be programmed to SD card in either u-boot environment
or linux environment. After programming, configure the board to boot
-from SD card.
+from SD card. (sdcard.img images are gz-iped to save space. Please extract them first.)

3.2 Program firmware.bin to flash
---------------------------------
-* LS1012ARDB (QSPI flash)
+* LS1012ARDB
Start up from bank1, and program firmware to bank2 with below commands.
Switch to bank2 to start up OpenWrt.
=> sf write a0000000 0 $filesize
=> reset
-* LS1043ARDB (NOR flash)
+* LS1043ARDB
Start up from bank0, and program firmware to bank4 with below commands.
Switch to bank4 to start up OpenWrt.
=> cp.b a0000000 64000000 $filesize
=> cpld reset altbank
-* LS1046ARDB (QSPI flash)
+* LS1046ARDB
Start up from bank1, and program firmware to bank2 with below commands.
Switch to bank2 to start up OpenWrt.
=> sf write a0000000 0 $filesize
=> cpld reset altbank
-* LS1088ARDB (QSPI flash)
+* LS2088ARDB
+ Start up from bank0, and program firmware to bank4 with below commands.
+ Switch to bank4 to start up OpenWrt.

+ and firmware.

+
+* LS1088ARDB/LX2160ARDB Rev2.0
Start up from bank0, and program firmware to bank1 with below commands.
Switch to bank1 to start up OpenWrt.
bank1 instead of 'qix altbank'.
=> i2c mw 66 50 20;i2c mw 66 10 20;i2c mw 66 10 21
-* LS2088ARDB (NOR flash)
+* LS1021ATWR
Start up from bank0, and program firmware to bank4 with below commands.
Switch to bank4 to start up OpenWrt.
=> tftp a0000000 <firmware_name>-firmware.bin
=> protect off all
- => erase 584000000 +$filesize
- => cp.b a0000000 584000000 $filesize

+ => erase 64000000 +$filesize
+ => cp.b a0000000 64000000 $filesize
+ => boot_bank 1
3.3 Program LS1012AFRWY

4. Known issues and limitation
------------------------------
-* u-boot may fail to read MAC addresses from EEPROM on some boards and there
+* U-boot may fail to read MAC addresses from EEPROM on some boards and there
won't be MAC addresses set in environment. This may cause kernel fails to
probe these network interfaces. The workaround is to set MAC addresses
manually, for example,
=> setenv ethaddr 00:04:9F:04:65:4b
=> setenv eth1addr 00:04:9F:04:65:4c
+ => saveenv
+
+* In case users want to refer Layerscape SDK doc for network configuration,
+ like TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) on LS1028A, the OpenWrt LAN/WAN router
+ setting should be removed before that.
+
+ # ubus call network.interface.lan remove
+ # ubus call network.interface.wan remove
+ # ubus call network.interface.wan6 remove
+
+ And firewall may be needed to stop.
+
+ # /etc/init.d/firewall stop
