(1) flash partition tables for OOLITEv1 evaluation board
(1.1) I need to know the flash partition information in your Evaluation Board
(1.2) Based on your openwrt package (r36088_attitude_adjustment.tar), the flash partition
is divided into 4 areas as follows;
Partition
Offset
Size
u-boot
0x00000000
0x20000
kernel
art
0x00020000
0x00ff0000
0xfc0000
0x10000
Description
0x0-0x10000 for uboot
0x10000-0x20000 for mac. mac:0x1fc00
Kernel image located (16M flash)
Art image located
(1.3) I downloaded two art files from your website. the two files are art-14db for FCC CE.bin
and art-17dbm.bin
(Q1.2) What kind of art file is used for your evaluation board by default ?
(A1.2) calibrated by IQ2010/IQxel. every module has owner art. the two files only for
reference( when lose art, you can try but maybe lose some perferemance.)
(2) Generated Image for OOLITEv1 evaluation board
(2.1) I used the package oolite-new-uboot.tar.gz to build u-boot image
(2.2) After building procedure, I got bin/ oolite-uboot.bin.
(Q2.1) Can I use this image(oolite-uboot.bin) for updating loader(u-boot) on your evaluation
board ?
(A2.1) yes
(2.3) I used the package r36088_attitude_adjustment.tar to build firmware image
(2.4) After building procedure, I got the files as follows in bin/ar71xx directory
ls -al bin/ar71xx
md5sums
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-nbg460n_550n_550nh-u-boot.bin

(Q2.2) What kind of image do I use to update firmware image in your OOLITEv1 evaluation
board ?
Do I use image "openwrt-ar71xx-generic-oolite-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" ?
(A2.2) Please answer this question on (A2.2.1)
(Q2.2.1) you write the name of firmware as "firmware.bin" in the table below. Can I use
file bin/ar71xx/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-oolite-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin for firmware?
(A2.2.1) yes
(3) Download Images to Flash in the evaluation board
(3.1) I need to download generated image to your evaluation board because we need to
modify some codes in loader, kernel and rootfs.
(Q3.1) Please let me know the commands (in u-boot) for updating images on your
evaluation board. In detail, please fill the area in yellow color in the table below
