Uboot version ?
- Thread starter carrpet
- Start date
In a telnet session type:
strings /dev/mtd0 | grep "U-Boot 1"
works for me, returns
(U-Boot 1.3.1 (Sep 5 2008 - 14:13:39) - stm23-2008-03-19
If if you get nothing back try:
strings /dev/mtd0 | grep Boot
but that in addition to the version line also returns several lines of cr*p which you can ignore.

xxxAxxx,
Its surprising what you can do by following the instructions given by other people who are more expert than me ! The ubuntu server works faultlessly, its on an uninteruuptable power supply, and I have a backup hotspare, if it fails.
I am running the latest SifTeam DGS image 13554 and installed (although I have no proof) uboot 1.3.3 using flashtools. I have an old Cuberevo Box as well however which is at my daughters house and it behaves differently to my more recent box even with the same image (even using a backup of the newer one) and my hunch is that it is using an old bootloader so I want to find out which version it is on before I update it.

I had noticed before that different images have different subsets of the standard Linux utils. But it looks likes just about every E2 image I've downloaded has the "strings" command.
However, try this command:
grep -az "U-Boot 1" /dev/mtd0
then press the return key again to get the prompt back again. This returns the Uboot version embedded in some rubbish characters.

grep -az "U-Boot 1" /dev/mtd0
did not work on the SifTeam DGS image but thanks very much for your help. If you have any other commands to try let me know. Its easier than digging out the null modem cable and finding my old Dell laptop with XP and a serial port !
xxxAxxx,
I ran a serial log and identified that Uboot 1.3.1 was installed and not Uboot 1.3.3 as I had thought I had installed.
So thanks to both of you, I have my answer

On second thoughts, I am sure I have read somewhere that Uboot 1.3.3 shows up as 1.3.1 ? However Uboot 1.3.3 was supposed to fix HD mpeg4 freezing and this file posed by Juli on 10.8.2010 is described as "Uboot series with fixing freezing MPEG4 HD" even though no mention of it being version 1.3.3 ? Do you have a view on this ?
