Pogo V4 installation problem
November 09, 2016 08:28PM
Hi and thank you for the great work you've done. I've used it as a road map, but I realized a few problems near the end.
I have a pogo-v4-a3-01 I've read your work and also Qui's (7/2014 blog.qnology.com) and Jack i.t. (2014 pogoplug4.blogspot.com)
got your: linux-tools-installation-bodhi.tar.gz uboot.2016.05-tld-1.pogo_v4.bodhi.tar uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.bodhi.tar
-save initial mtd0 and inital env to current_env.txt
-as in #5, #6, #7 extracted erased and then wrote
-went to part "B" and did b. c. d. e.
but stopped before f.
my pogoplug v4 has no /boot directory, and I cannot locate any *.dtb file (1) do I need or need to make a /boot/dts/kirkwood-dockstar.dtb file?
(2) is my original stock kernel a non-FDT or FDT kernel boot? (3) is your newest debian kernel FDT (4) the arch kernel from 2014, or the latest, FDT?
(4) where is the ? file, or files, locations, that 'fw_printenv' lists the environment
(5) in section "C" uEnv.txt -do I need /boot/uEnv.txt ?
(6) my /etc/fw_env.config still only is just "/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000" is this still needed? should it be something more or different by now?
(7) I'm still hoping to have an option to boot the original bootloader and run the cloudengine software. Would I simply follow QUI's directions? thanks in advance

This DTB file is on your USB rootfs, not on the current Pogo V4 OS. This is to prepare the u-boot env to boot the new rootfs on USB later.

So just set the env as instructed in step f. And go on to the next step.

It is non-FDT.

(3) is your newest debian kernel FDT

Yes, it's FDT.

No you don't need to.

This can be set to the correct value after you've booted into Debian.

Don't worry about this until you got Debian running on USB.
