Gateworks Avila GW2342

A single board computer with four Type III Mini-PCI sockets, two 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet ports with ESD and EFT protection, and Compact Flash socket.

FIXME Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example).

Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout.

generic.flashing.tftp

1 - Connect your target board to your network, set ipaddress and the tftp serverip in the Redboot bootloader:

   Redboot> ip_address -l 192.168.1.1 -h 192.168.1.14

2 - Unlock flash blocks with the length param (-l 0x1000000) differing depending on the flash size of the board (8MB - 0x800000, 16MB - 0x1000000, 32MB - 0x2000000):

   Redboot> fis unlock -f 0x50000000 -l 0x1000000

3 - Initialize redboot partition table:

   Redboot> fis init -f

4 - Download kernel:

   Redboot> load -r -v -b 0x00800000 openwrt-ixp4xx-generic-avila-zImage

5 - create/write linux partition:

   Redboot> fis create linux

6 - Download rootfs:

   Redboot> load -r -v -b 0x00800000 openwrt-ixp4xx-generic-squashfs.img 

7 - Determine length parameter (-l in next command) for rootfs partition (using hex calculator subtract first number in response from second):

   Redboot> fis free

8 - create/write rootfs partition

   Redboot> fis create -l 0xe60000 rootfs

9 - create boot script:

   Redboot> fconfig
   

Specify a boot script of:

   fis load linux
   exec

Add an additional carriage return to end script.

10 - Reboot the board

   Redboot> reset

generic.sysupgrade

Although you can upgrade using sysupgrade the default sysupgrade kernel image does not contain some of the Avila specific hardware modules so re-installing will provide better support.

If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line.

Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

sysupgrade

  • Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ixp4xx/generic/openwrt-15.05-ixp4xx-generic-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
sysupgrade openwrt-15.05-ixp4xx-generic-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

The default install only configures the 1st Ethernet interface. You can configure the 2nd Ethernet interface eth1 as the WAN interface.

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name Description Default configuration
br-lan (eth0) J10 192.168.1.1/24
wan (eth1) J11 DHCP

hardware.button on howto use and configure the hardware button(s). Here, we merely name the buttons, so we can use them in the above Howto.

The Gateworks Avila GW2342 has the following buttons:

BUTTON Event

Main PCB:
Insert photo of PCB

port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.

The COM1 serial port connector is an industry standard female 9-pin D-shell connector. The DCE pin assignments permit a direct connection to a standard PC DTE port running terminal emulation software.

Serial connection parameters
for Gateworks Avila GW2342
115200, 8N1

port.jtag general information about the JTAG port, JTAG cable, etc.

The JTAG programming port is available through a 14-pin header in a 2×7 configuration with 0.1-inch pin spacing.

Pin Signal Pin Signal
