bodhi,

nope doesn't show up in my router nor in wireshark - with usb_boot

if i just let it run start (with bootcmd=tftpload...) and provide our uImage it seems to get further, because the nas appears in the router.

This is a very good sign! so can you ping the box with 10.0.0.30 ? do this about 2 minutes after it seems to get stuck. If it responses to ping then try to ssh in to see what is the behavior, whether it is actually running.

Nope there is no connectivity. But i found something near 0004f0a0 . I haven't seen this arguments in stock medion uboot nor after i did a resetenv. It's still badly formatted,because i did it manual

helge,

Is there a suport website where you can look for u-boot source code? or perhaps request it from the manufacturer?

We'd never know what they did in the code that could have changed the bootargs, or did similar things.

For example, if you look in the MVEBU kernel thread, NAS326 installation section:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146

In this NAS326 box, Zyxel actually had a hardcoded bootcmd (doh!). I could only control stock u-boot bootcmd after looking at their source code.

So we are basically blind without the GPL :)

Hi bodhi,

>Is there a suport website where you can look for u-boot source code? or perhaps request it from the manufacturer?
there is just a manual and a reset tool. The "manufacturer" is just one of those "i buy a bunch of devices and let the manufacturer label it with my name" company. Most of the times they just do wired stuff to the software, so its not working well and behaves different than stock software.
So our guess that they did something to bootrom or u-boot isn't that low ;)

But since they just resell stuff, i don't think they can/wan't to provide full source. But i'll write a mail to support.
But altough they do software sloppy, i also think they stick to GPL. SO i did some diging

I always wondered how they do internet reset. In:
medionsource\recoveryfs\sbin\startrecovery
#!/bin/sh

echo "Recovery started..."

/bin/led_indicator recovery-start

#call the start_usb_burn to see if we can do everything from USB
/sbin/start_usb_burn
Ok USB recovery. So lets have a look at that file:
cp /mnt/usb/recoveryfullfs.tar.gz /recoveryfullfs.tar.gz
gunzip /recoveryfullfs.tar.gz
tar xf /recoveryfullfs.tar
#/dev needs to be populated for recoveryfullfs
cd /
tar c dev | tar x -C /recoveryfullfs

echo "changing root to /recoveryfullfs"
chroot /recoveryfullfs /init
So we need recoveryfullfs to proceed. Lets get back to "startrecovery"
echo "USB Reflash unsuccessful. Attempting online recovery"
/sbin/start_network
/sbin/get_recovery_script
Oh thats nice ONLINE.
Start_network really start network. SO lets look at get_recovery_script
wget -O /sbin/recovery_script -T 30 -t 1 -q \
http://recovery.medion.hipserv.com/downloads/recovery/get_recovery_script.php\
Oha! so let's download recovery_script and have a look at it. (The other code in get_recovery_script is the same as in usb_burn)
wget -O /recoveryfullfs.tar.gz.....
Now we have the file recoveryfullfs.tar.gz and start_recovery is calling downloaded recovery_script.
---------------------------
#If we've reached this point /sbin/recovery_script has been downloaded
#so execute it
/sbin/recovery_script
--------------------------
Recovery script chrooting into downloaded and extracted recoveryfullfs.tar.gz calling init
chroot /recoveryfullfs /init
Init himself
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
wget http://recovery.medion.hipserv.com/downloads/recovery/get_firmware.php | ubiformat /dev/mtd2 -s 2048 -O 2048 -S $UBISIZE -f -
ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 2 -O 2048
mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt/
exec sh
Get_firmware downloads hipserv2_netgear-20111019.ubi which is indeed a ubifs
first bytes: UBI#############
DOWNLOAD

As always i've uploaded all new files here. I am using my windows today so it had to be .zip
I also dont know yet what is in "sh" cause my windows wont extract it (symlinks...)

But as i googled some params. it seems to be the same on all storas SO nothing new for you :P

But than new hope rises. I was writing my mail to medion and decided to visit the FAQ
finding a FW Update
If you google that number you quickly find a forum, where the ftp server with a FW Update from 2012 is named
It didnt say kernel Update, just some Software Updats and "general" fixes

helge,

Let's hack our way in, slowly step by step
setenv arcNumber 4931
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200'
setenv usb_load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv usb_load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv usb_boot 'usb start; run set_bootargs; run usb_load_uimage; run usb_load_uinitrd; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000'
run usb_boot

See if we get the kernel running at all.

I've hooked up the device on a hub and connected it with my laptop running isc-dhcpd. I see 0 on my interface if we run custom kernel.

In the meanwhile (and before i even posted here) i tried openstoras kernel. The result is the same. In the wiki it says Medion Lifecloud 2-bay NAS supported

helge,

If the bootargs is that simple and we could not get it to run, most likely the DTB is wrong one.

These have the same SoCs:

NSA310S
NSA320S
Pogo V4

So perhaps we want to try all 3.

hi bodhi,
hi pengu,

i confirm that the device won't boot with the mentioned DTB. As always without a response.

@pengu
Have you seen the "strange" broadcasts the Medion NAS does while in Recovery? Its shouting "Hail dictator-of-germany-'till-1945"... in my network oO

helge,


Here is another approach. Let's try booting a non-FDT kernel. This is the rootfs that has non-FDT kernel.

Updated 02 Sept 2014 (rootfs): 

Rootfs Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 was uploaded. This rootfs is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 (and its new features).

And then you would want to set arcNumber and machid to the correct values for Pogo V4 in serial console:
setenv arcNumber 3960
setenv machid f78

The rest of the envs are exactly as before.

pengu,

Do you have earlyprintk=serial bootargs set in this run?

## Booting image at 00800000 .
## Loading Ramdisk Image at 01100000 ...

seems like he used 0x800000 for uImage and 0x1100000 for uInitrd.
Medions first reply doesn't look very promising. They just send me a mail, with a link where i should search for the source. They didn't even provided a direct link :P
But it took them four buisness days to respond....

This is not exactly fitting the topic, but I use the same device and need help.
I think I bricked the board with a wrong u-boot (no leds except the green network one).
Sadly it seems that kwboot isn't working, so I think my last chance is the JTAG connector.
But to make it boot, I need a copy of the original/a working u-boot (stupidly I thought I'm much cleverer than anyone else and didn't make a backup). I don't want to buy a JTAG connector without an image of a working u-boot, so maybe someone, especially helge, could upload one.
Thanks for your help, jonrv

hi jonrv,

sad to hear that. But atleast you were so brave to flash a new uboot. Now we know it doesnt work :)

I have an untested nandbackup of mtd0,1 and 2, so hopefully you should be able to restore your u-boot. I'll post links, after i found my notebook.
Good to hear that, helping me a lot.
Thanks, jonrv

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. Can you be more specific? and quote the previous post.
