Hi U-Boot Hackers,
I have some problem regarding DHCP on my Atmel NGW100 board, when using dnsmasq on the server side. I want to use the device for some kind of automatic test suite runs.
Does the support for this device is known to work in 2015.01?
I have not tested and do not own a ngw100 but it is likely that it is still working. Avr32 in general has had very little changes in the past. I personally have access to a ngw100mkII, grasshopper and stk1002 board. They are tested from time to time. AFAIR there was no breakage in the last two or three years. I have to admit not all of these boards tested with 2015.01 yet. But I do not expect any surprise here.
Can I update the old existing U-Boot boot loader directly or should I use FlashUpgrade tool from Atmel? (http://mirror.egtvedt.no/avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/FlashUpgradeUsag...)
I always do it directly or with my jtag ICE. It seems the FlashUpgrade is just some scripting to advise u-boot to do the update. I would prefer to do it for my own.
The existing version is: U-Boot 1.1.4-at0 (Jan 3 2007 - 10:30:09)
This is quite old. There where maybe a change of flash partitioning in between. This means that your existing environment partition may not be read in the newer version. I recommend to save the environment as a text file on your host before doing the update.
