Recent NetBSD and MERAKI kernel



Hello,

I’m trying to boot NetBSD on a Fonera 2g (2202) with the goal of running
it as a router but I’m facing some problems with recent NetBSD versions.

The hardware is similar to the one of the Fonera 2100 which is in turn
really similar to the Meraki mini, so the MERAKI kernel should at least
boot on this device.

I remember giving it a try while NetBSD 5 was the latest version and it
worked back then. I tried again building and booting NetBSD 5 lately
just to make sure, and it does boot using the SREC image of the kernel
but not the ELF image. (see the first attachment for the boot log)

I built the kernel using 5.2.1 sources and this command line:
./build.sh -m evbmips-eb -O ../obj_mipseb -T ../tools_mipseb -U -u -j4 
kernel=MERAKI


I then tried to build the same kernel with netbsd-6 and netbsd-current
sources, using the same command line.

It appears that the build is broken under netbsd-6, it stops at kernel
link time, complaining about symbol table size.

The build ends correctly with netbsd-current sources but only the ELF
image is built and there is no SREC image anymore, so I generated it
with the following command:
/f/netbsd-dist/edge/tools_mipseb/bin/mipseb--netbsd-strip -O srec -o 
netbsd.srec netbsd
like it was done during the NetBSD 5 build process.

But, when I then try to boot the device using this image, everything
just hangs after trying to execute the kernel. (see the second
attachment for the boot log with this image)

So, I would like to know if it’s a normal behaviour that I can’t boot
using the ELF image.
I would also like to know if anyone has an idea why nothing happens when I try
running NetBSD 6/current.


Thank you in advance. I hope there’s enough information in this mail for
you to have a good idea of what I’m trying to do. If there isn’t please
tell me anything I should add.

Have a nice day.
