List of partitions

Partition layouts change depending on which image is booted, in particular:

When booting image0:

mtd2 ---> image0 (linux)
mtd5 --> image1
mtd3 --> rootfs
mtd4 --> rootfs_data

When booting image0:

mtd2 ---> image0
mtd3 --> image1 (linux)
mtd4 --> rootfs
mtd5 --> rootfs_data

Transferring files to the stick

# scp rootfs.bin root@192.168.1.10:/tmp/

Backup of all partition

Make a backup of all partitions, an easy way is:

• On the stick run:

  cat /proc/mtd
  

Via SCP

• For each mtdX run in the lantiq shell:

  cp /dev/mtdX /tmp
  

And in the computer shell:

scp root@192.168.1.10:/tmp/mtdX ./

Via NC

• For each mtdX run, on computer shell:

  nc -l -p 1234 > mtdX.bin
  

  And in the lantiq shell:

  cat /dev/mtdX | nc 192.168.1.11 1234
  

Checking the currently active image

# fw_printenv committed_image

Booting to a different image

# fw_setenv committed_image 0|1
# fw_setenv image0|1_is_valid 1

Cloning of mtd1 (image 0) into mtd5 (image 1)

The following commands are used to clone image0 to image1 and then boot to it

# cat /dev/mtd2 > /tmp/mtd2.bin
# mtd -e image1 write /tmp/mtd2.bin image1
# fw_setenv committed_image 1
# fw_setenv image1_is_valid 1
# reboot

Flashing a new rootfs via SSH

The following commands are used to flash a new rootfs to image1 and then boot to it

# mtd -e image1 write /tmp/rootfs.bin image1
# fw_setenv committed_image 1
# fw_setenv image1_is_valid 1
# reboot

Flashing a new rootfs via serial

If you wish to change the firmware via serial, we recommend using the web app: Web Serial Flash

1. Connecting the molex-serial adapter and the serial to the computer as indicated in Root Procedure
2. Open Tera Term (or any other programme capable of connecting to the serial terminal)
3. Connect the SFP stick to the SFP molex, from the terminal you will have 5 seconds to lock the bootloader by doing a simple CTRL+C. Now upload the firmware image of the new rootfs partition to the stick with the command

   FALCON => loady 0x80800000
   

   At this point it will appear:

1. From the teratem menu do FILE → TRANSFER → YMODEM → SEND → [mtd2.bin]. It will start uploading the file at a speed of about 3-4 KBps. Now you will have to wait more than half an hour for the upload to complete.

2. Once finished, the image loaded on the stick must also be saved to the corresponding system partition (the first of the 2) with the commands

   FALCON => setenv committed_image 0
   FALCON => setenv image0_is_valid 1
   FALCON => saveenv
   FALCON => sf probe 0 && sf erase C0000 740000 && sf write 80800000 C0000 740000 && reset
   

EEPROM (I2C slave simulated EEPROM)

The Huawei MA5671A does not have a physical EEPROM, the Falcon SOC emulates an EEPROM by exposing it on the I2C interface as required by the SFF-8472 specification.

On the I2C interface there will be two memories of 256 bytes each at the addresses 1010000X (A0h) and 1010001X (A2h), however in reality the memory available from the emulated EEPROM will be 640 bytes each but only the first 256 bytes will be exposed in the I2C interface.

The Huawei MA5671A stores the content of the emulated EEPROM in U-Boot env variables to restore it after a reboot:

• EEPROM0 (A0h) stored in U-Boot env variable sfp_a0_low_128
• EEPROM1 (A2h) stored in U-Boot env variable sfp_a2_info
