Script install for IOmega Iconnect

Hi,

any effort on this device?? will debian script work on this device?? also on NAND??


Jeff, I got one, so if you want I can make some test

cat /proc/mtd

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 000c0000 00020000 "uboot"
mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "env"
mtd2: 00300000 00020000 "zImage"
mtd3: 00300000 00020000 "initrd"
mtd4: 1f400000 00020000 "boot"

I looked at this with someone else a few months ago. As I recall it ships with a uBoot with USB support and its rootfs is running a much more modern kernel than the Dockstar, making it perfect for either booting a distro from USB or simply creating a chroot environment.

The device has a 'support' page at http://<DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS>/support.html

The ssh login is root/sohoadmin

It's an extremely open device. Have fun!

Yes, I'm inside:

Also has a header for serial interface, but at this moment I haven't Nokia o USB/serial cable for recovery purposes.. ;( So I'd like to know if you can help to modify your script and try it in Iconnect. I think this device is another good alternative because it has wif, bt and 256 RAM.

Also, cbxbiker61 from plugcomputer.org has added support in 2.6.35.7.

before the mentioned values of u-boot.

ok, I decided to risk using blparam... and now the Iconnect is bricke'd XDDD

So it's time to wait for the serial cable....

The serial cable showed that my Iconnect is completely bricked!!! no data at all when bootin...so I think it's time to JTAG. Anyone knows about JTAG for Iconnect??. Looks like it has a 20-pin header but there isn't so much information out there ;(

any help would be appreciated...

thanks,

I think it's more likely that your serial cable isn't connected correctly. I don't have an iConnect, but these pages seem to have a lot of useful information:

http://doip.org/iconnect
http://doip.org/iconnect_console

thank you for your interest. Yes, I carefully read this information last day. The serial console cable I used is ok (TTL 3.3 level), but no data is shown through hyperterminal (115200 N 8).
I think that blparam from Cloud Engines corrupted my U-boot, so now it's unable to boot up ;(

Ok, finally I could recover my Iconnect using serial converter. My first computer had a problem with serial port, this is why I thought it was bricked, but then I tried in anohter computer, and now I can see the u-boot is ok. Seems like blparam wrote in another place of NAND, and now cannot boot into it.

Anyway, I followed Martin Michlmayr debian script (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html) and the system can boot from USB using lenny. The only problem is that the network is not working (looks like a problem with gigabit port (http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=2347.msg13229#msg13229)

thanks for you advice...ecc :)

paketecuento: I have iomega iconnect and i have experimenting with install on it debian and openwrt.
I can say that i have problem with network because in all manuals says that need to "setenv arcNumber 2097" and if i setenv it network up on 10Mbit half duplex and not working. Default arcNumber in my iomega is 1682 (Marvell RD88F6281 Reference Board). With this arcNumber debian Lenny boots ok and network is work. But openwrt svn build won't boot, and says in debug:
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000692).

Available machine support:

ID (hex) NAME
00000831 Marvell SheevaPlug Reference Board
00000bb6 Seagate FreeAgent DockStar
00000b36 Iomega iConnect Wireless

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

So i set arcNumber=2870(Iomega iConnect) and all boot ok.
Hope it helps.

Hi Jeff,
If we can easily get root access in iConnect can we install other applications we need using apt-get or a similar command?
I am new to this plz provide some info.
