I have acquired a Dell Force 10 S4810, I manage to enter the u-boot console and execute commands but it never manages to load the FTOS below more details. => printenv bootdelay=5 baudrate=9600 loads_echo=1 eth1addr=00:E0:0C:02:01:FD eth2addr=00:E0:0C:02:02:FD eth3addr=00:E0:0C:02:03:FD preboot=mii write 0x1 0x1c 0xfcad;mii write 0x1 0x00 0x0140;mii write 0x1 0x1c 0xfcac;mii write 0x1 0x1c 0xb4ef; rootpath=/opt/nfsroot hostname=unknown loadaddr=6400000 uboot=u-boot.bin uboot_filesize=0x80000 tftpflash=tftpboot $loadaddr $uboot; protect off 0xfff80000 +$uboot_filesize; erase 0xfff80000 +$uboot_filesize; cp.b $loadaddr 0xfff80000 $uboot_filesize; protect on 0xfff80000 +$uboot_filesize; cmp.b $loadaddr 0xfff80000 $uboot_filesize ethact=eTSEC3 alarm_state=n ethaddr=00:01:E8:8A:DF:40 secondary_boot=f10boot flash1 mgmtautoneg=true mgmtspeed100=true mgmtfullduplex=true mgmtspeed1000=false bootfile=FTOS-SE-9.11.0.0P4.bin enablepwdignore=true autoload=no primary_boot=f10boot flash1 default_boot=f10boot flash1 ipaddr=10.0.1.180 gatewayip=10.0.1.129 netmask=255.255.255.128 serverip=10.0.1.130 stconfigignore=true stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial bootcmd=echo Booting primary bootline....;$primary_boot;echo Failed;echo Booting secondary bootline....;$secondary_boot;echo Failed;echo Booting default bootline....;$default_boot;echo Failed;echo Rebooting...;reset Environment size: 1208/8188 bytes Infinite output that the device has: U-Boot 2009.11(Dell) (Apr 06 2014 - 08:44:55) Built by build at Unknown host on Sun Apr 6 8:44:54 2014 S4810 Boot selector Label 1.2.0.5 CPU0: P2020E, Version: 2.0, (0x80ea0020) Core: E500, Version: 5.0, (0x80211050) Clock Configuration: CPU0:1200 MHz, CPU1:1200 MHz, CCB:600 MHz, DDR:396 MHz (792 MT/s data rate) (Asynchronous), LBC:37.500 MHz L1: D-cache 32 kB enabled I-cache 32 kB enabled Board: S4810 Dell Inc.
