Alright, so as Adrian suggested, I tried to create uboot'ed kernel by
running:
"# ../build/build/bin/build ap91 uboot"
which basically runs build_uboot which does following:
/usr/local/bin/lzma e ${X_KERNEL} /tftpboot/kernel.${KERNCONF}.lzma || exit
1
# Create the firmware
mkimage -A ${UBOOT_ARCH} -O linux -T kernel -C lzma \
-a ${UBOOT_KERN_LOADADDR} -e ${UBOOT_KERN_STARTADDR} \
-n "FreeBSD" -d /tftpboot/kernel.${KERNCONF}.lzma \
/tftpboot/kernel.${KERNCONF}.lzma.uImage \
|| exit 1
Now, I had to install /usr/ports/devel/uboot-mkimage/ port to get "mkimage"
binary referenced above.
But as soon as I run "# ../build/build/bin/build ap91 uboot", the laptop
deadlocks. I have to hard reboot the laptop. I tried it 2 times and it
stops right when its trying to execute mkimage command listed above.
I am not sure what is the reason behind that. And I see ray@ is the
maintainer of that port so I am cc'ing him to get some insights too.
But weirdly enough, it still created the kernel file out of this run:
kernel.AP91.lzma.uImage
And I've provided that instead of regular kernel.gz in generating final
image but loading that did not yield any different results. It still fails
pretty much the same way.
