Do you mean how to set u-boot envs to run the new u-boot as if you did step 9 and 10?
To run new rootfs/kernel, you need to do steps 9 and 10.

I never ran those steps before rebooting as I had the stock kernel and alarm on usb, I ended up just interrupting uboot and manually adding the uboot envs based on your kernel thread and put the 3.17 rootfs on another usb stick.
Also to note, using a 99c ttl to usb board cut and paste too many lines at once into uboot console didn't work very well..
Thanks

Ah! glad you got it working. And thanks for the feedback about the instruction! Looks like I need to improve it a bit.

Hi, I have problem booting the rootfs Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
with this new uboot, plese help.
I flashed this new uboot over the old U-Boot (1.1.2 Jul 29 2010) under stock Pogoplug OS using the following command:
then I have made the uboot env as follows
Though the netconsole has been setup, but nothing from there.
The LED:
flashed for about 5s,
then turned solid for about 9s,
then flashing 1s, sold about 7s,
flashing 1s, solid 1s, flashing for about 7s,
then stays solid.
So have I missed anything? Do I have problem in my uboot/uenv or the rootfs files?
Does the LED behavior indicate the kernel has booted up but it troubles booting the rootfs?
ok, to answer myself, I was able to boot it up by not doing this step mentioned in the installtion thread:
and no netconsole information is because there's no preboot varible been set in the env, need this

Rynax,
In my experience, netconsole will only work if everything is correctly configured. Getting the u-boot environment set up correctly can be an art, taking several attempts to get it right. The best thing you can now do is connect to the internal serial port and use a serial terminal emulator for debugging. Getting a serial terminal emulator connected is a bit of hassle, but it is well worth the effort for quick, simple debugging and testing. There are photos around on the web somewhere to show the connections required - note that a 3.3V interface is required, using a 5V one may cause hardware damage.
Regards
Peter

Thanks Peter. Yep I got it boot up now without issue. See my edit above.
It could be I mixed up some FDT/DTB/embbeded/seperated files which is not compatible with the current uboot env settings.
I do have serial stuff in box, just won't use that if I can't recover it back.

Yes, that was the problem. Your u-boot envs are set up for booting separated DTB. So the uImage should not have DTB appended.

Hi,
I am trying to boot from SATA port. But it freezes during booting. Here is the serial output:
The sata drive is the only drive connected. It is loaded with 3.17 rootfs on ext4 at the first partition.
If connect the sata drive with a USB adaptor to the oxnas, it can go through the 'booting the kernel', but there is error during booting:
when I used a USB thumb drive, formated ext4, loaded 3.17, everything is OK.
I double check the fs on SATA drive. e2fsck comes all clean. Any clue? is this related to uboot or something else?

I double check the fs on SATA drive. e2fsck comes all clean. Any clue? is this related to uboot or something else?

Yes. Make sure the rootfs partition is labeled rootfs. After checking the SATA disk, then use command such as:
And you don't have to use 2 partitions on your HDD, everything can be in one partition formatted as Ext4. That will make booting much easier. Looking at your log, it seems u-boot was confused which partition was which. So If you still have problem after labeling the partition, pls interrupt serial console and get the listing of u-boot envs and post here.

Yes. Make sure the rootfs partition is labeled rootfs. After checking the SATA disk, then use command such as:
tune2fs -L rootfs /dev/sdb1Adjust the drive letter sdb1 to whichever the rootfs partition was assigned.
And you don't have to use 2 partitions on your HDD, everything can be in one partition formatted as Ext4. That will make booting much easier. Looking at your log, it seems u-boot was confused which partition was which.

I tried with one partition in ext4. but still not working. same problem, stop at "booting the kernel".

zzbao,
- The previous error in USB rootfs indicated that your u-boot envs and the rootfs did not set up to correctly
- The error now wih the HDD indicated that the kernel did not start.
Let's boot with HDD attached only. And do the following steps:
1. Make sure the HDD has only one Ext4 partition.
2. Check rootfs label, it must be satarootfs
3. Check what is in rootfs fstab, if it says rootfs, change it to satarootfs
4. Plug in the HDD. Power up. Interrupt serial console and:
Pls post entire serial console log here.

What if OXNAS uboot loaded it's environment from the same place in flash as the kirkwook U-boot (0x0c0000)?
What do you think? Other than backwards compatibility is there any reason we wouldn't want to try that?
I was trying to standardize some of the uboot env and rescue systems between the two. I was planning to post it when I was done. I thought I would get your feedback before wasting time on pursuing it.
I'm currently testing the layout for OXNAS running a rescue system from rootfs UBIFS, and openwrt on data UBIFS.
Just thinking through it...

Bodhi,
I Originally installed Debian following grayman4hire's tutorial (blog.qnology.com/2015/04/hacking-pogoplug-v3oxnas-proclassic.html). I then followed your instructions and download link located at the link you listed (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,24213). Aside from the wireless issue with no ehternet (which I appreciate you already looking into), My Pogoplug Pro now will not boot unless I disconnect the two external hard drives prior to powering the device. I followed the tutorials to the "T".
FYI, I'm using a microSD card via a USB adapter for rootfs. Two external hard drives only used for file storage.
I noticed that the download link in this post, and the one in "Oxnas U-Boot default environment image" have different MD5 values. are they compiled differently? I used the link in "Oxnas U-Boot default environment image", and not the one in this post.
Any thoughts on why the standard boot procedure is not picking up the rootfs from the microSD card when the external hard drives are plugged in?

Of course, they are different images.

That's not right. When you install u-boot in this thread, you must use the env image in this thread (the instruction was written for that envs image). The new image in the other thread was an improved version and released mainly for users who has already installed this u-boot, and wish to update. Note that I did not release the new version in this thread.
However, it is OK to use the new env image, providing you follow the instruction in the new env image thread, too:
So with the new envs image installed, in your configuration, your SD card must have the rootfs in the 1st partition (best to have only one partition in the rootfs drive), and then the partition label must be rootfs. And the other disk drives must be regular data drive (i.e. does not contain any rootfs).

Quote
This new default envs image now supports booting with multiple disk drives (and hubs) attached. The disk drives could be any type (usb, sata, sd card). The scanning logic and default envs were set to automatically boot the box with the following required configuration:
a. There must be only one partition among all partitions from all drives that contains the kernel files. The 2 kernel files are /boot/uImage and /boot/uInitrd.
b. The partition that contains the 2 kernel files must be partition 1 in a disk drive
c. The partition that contains the rootfs must be labeled rootfs
So with the new envs image installed, in your configuration, your SD card must have the rootfs in the 1st partition (best to have only one partition in the rootfs drive), and then the partition label must be rootfs. And the other disk drives must be regular data drive (i.e. does not contain any rootfs).

I've uploaded the uboot.2015.10-tld-1 U-Boot image for Pogoplug V3 OX820. Please see 1st post for download link.
Given the interest showing that there are more OX820 boxes out there, I thought this should be tracking mainline U-Boot.
It has been a bit of a challenge for me to modernize this code base to track the mainline branch! so enjoy :)

FYI,
The stock partition scheme and new partition scheme are the same physically. In stock scheme, mtd0 is overlay the whole NAND. So mtd0 is at the same location at mtd1. This provides a chance for a careless mistake in that you could wipe out the 2nd partition if not careful.
The new partion scheme is saner. For example, if you mistakenly erase more blocks than the mtd0 holds, it will not overwrite mtd1. But with stock, you will need to avoid using mtd0, and must remember to use mtd1 and mtd2.
However, when dealing with NAND, we are suppose to double check, triple check,... the commands. So this is just academic.

Hi bodhi,
once again, thanks for all the work you put into these boxes. In the sense of "triple checking", let me do this here.
As in rynax's case, I get
In addition, I am not quite certain anymore what system I have. I believe it is based on Warhead's ARCH kernel, but to make sure, here is a little more info:
So, if I understand you and Thang correctly, all I need to do is replace mtd0 with mtd1 in the guide. Does that also mean, that cat /etc/fw_env.config should result in
Currently, I get
So, I should overwrite this with the one above?
Next, I do not like what I get when I run fw_printenv:
So, hopefully, this is just due to the fact that my current system is from the stone age and I can still proceed with flashing the new uboot?
Cheers,
chessplayer

It is simpler to use the new mtdparts definition with only mtd0 and mtd1. The above is stock mtdparts definition (they are physically the same). After you flashed new u-boot and new env image, mtdparts should show only 2 mtds.

As I mentioned, if you redefine mtdparts, then the guide can be followed as is. But if you want to keep 3 mtds then yes, it would work replacing mtd1 where mtd0 is in the guide, including the /etc/fw_env.config file as above.

Yes it is true, proceed with flashing new u-boot, and boot with new rootfs. This CRC error is expected when you run fw_printenv in old rootfs.

It is simpler to use the new mtdparts definition with only mtd0 and mtd1. The above is stock mtdparts definition (they are physically the same). After you flashed new u-boot and new env image, mtdparts should show only 2 mtds.

bodhi,
thanks for getting back so quickly. One question (since this is beginning to look a bit like a hen and egg problem): after flashing new uboot, will it still be possible at all to boot the old system (WarheadsSE kernel + Debian Squeeze)? Or do I have to do more or less everything in one step:
a1) flash new uBoot
a2) install new kernel + rootfs
a3) reboot
Not quite sure at the moment ...
Update: Tried it anyway and it worked. Then I saw that on the very first page someone already said to do just that ...

Some Issues + Stupidity
So, I got both my B04 and my Pro boxes working with one and the same USB drive. Then I ran into the problem of not being able to set the ethaddr with fw_setenv as reported earlier. Unfortunately, netconsole is not working either for those two boxes (although it is for the Kirkwoods I have ...; why???).
At first, it seemed that using uEnv.txt I was able to get around the problem. At least for the Pro it seemed to be able to override the setting in NAND, but not for the Classic B04. So, I tried to make the environments as similar as possible to check this out. I believe that as soon as I added the dtb-part as suggested in step 6 of the Kernel thread, the override stopped working, but I will have to check this again.
Because, now for the stupid part: in the course of assimilating the environments, I managed to tell the Classic box that it should use the Pro's dtb! Therefore, now I do not get an IP-address anymore for the Classic box.
So, here is my question: is there a way to get to the box other than using a serial cable (which I would like to avoid ...)? Maybe by activating a WiFi-dongle using the Pro box and then using that with the Classic?
--- EDIT ---
And here is the answer: the question is stupid, as it already proposes a kind of solution. What really helped was to just rename the classic-file to the pro-file (having saved that one before) and just booting the box up with that. Then the variable dtb_file is changed back, the renaming reverted and all is well, except for the uEnv.txt not having an effect ..
---------------
Also, getting back to the original problem of the MAC address, I now use an alternative for setting it, namely by inserting the following line into /etc/network/interfaces:
Anyway, for reference, here is my uBoot environment (sadly for both boxes ...):

Update: Obviously, with this setup, uEnv.txt has no effect ...

Copy the working flash drive to another flash drive (same size or bigger) using dd and on the copied fd rename the classic dtb in /boot/dts to the same name as u-boot is expecting it to be named, ie ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb.
Edit: IIRC, the Pro can use the Classics dtb but not vice versa. If someone can confirm this, you could rename the file as I mentioned above without having to make a copy disk. Once your envs are fixed rename everything back to stock and you should be able to use one disk. Make backups of both dtb in a separate directory with their original name so you have pristine copies you can copy back.
