How to use usbboot? soft-bricked v4 pogoplug

Hello all.

I tried to install the lastest version of uboot and switch over to sd card booting on my pogoplug, but I messed up somewhere and it doesnt boot on its own. There are no lights by default, but I can make it boot using kwboot.

My trouble now is once I am controlling it via serial, how do I tell it to try to boot from the rootfs usb stick that I just made?

Ideally I would like to get archlinuxarm on it, and I am happy to restore it to stock before continuing. Currently I have a rootfs usb stick that I made while following this post:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

I tried usbboot, but I just get "no device specified". Also, usbboot /dev/sda1 and usbboot USB0 did not work either (these were done after I issued the command usb start)

Attached are my printenv along with my usb start output in case it helps.

Thank you.

Please post the entire serial console log (from the banner to the kernel loading, i.e everything). And include the output of printenv as you did.

If serilal console did not show anything, that meant u-boot image was not flashed properly. In that case, post the entire serial console running kwboot, include the kwboot command.

Thank you very much for your reply Bodhi, I have read many of your posts and your responsiveness is incredible!

Below is what I see during serial boot. it is very possible that I messed up the uboot image or something else.

Ok, the latest uboot makes this painless!

See this thread:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,30438,30439#msg-30439

Use the instruction in that post: create a usb rootfs, copy the default env text to the rootfs /boot folder, modify the variable dtb_file to point to the pogo v4 DTB, and boot using kwboot with this rootfs.

Thanks for the reply Bodhi, unfortunately I am still stuck. I did as above and here is what I get. By the way, is there a shortcut if I wanted to use Archlinuxarm? I assumed these steps were necessary for booting debian so I could then re-flash the uboot.

There is no shortcut to boot Arch. It is actually a little more complicate, because Arch rootfs /boot folder is slightly different (where the DTB files are). But if that's your ultimate goal, then let me know.

Your problem right now is the USB drive itself. When you see this "timeout on TD", it means the drive did not "spin up" fast enough for u-boot to read it. It helps to use a different USB flash drive (use Sandisk brand if you have it).

Pogov4> setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_usb; run bootcmd_mmc; run bootcmd_sata; reset'

The above is wrong. If you put the default envs in /boot/uEnv.txt in the Debian rootfs, there is no need to set the bootcmd like that. Just boot the Debian rootfs without interrupting it. Run kwboot, and let it go to see how far you got.

Ok I will give that a try.

Since my end goal is to be able to install the latest version of uboot and use archlinuxarm on this pogoplug, perhaps it would help if I understood uboot and kwboot a little better. I am fairly familiar with linux basics, though I have never done much with the kernel. Here is my current impression of how each of these componenets work. Any comments to help set me straight would be helpful.

kwboot - A tool that can communicate with a device at a low level allowing it to assist during the boot process should the internal memory become corrupt or broken (in my case broken by me :( )

uboot - an boot loader or boot environment installed to the built in nand memory.

bootable media - the equivelant of a hard drive in a desktop-PC, holds whatever OS is installed on it.


I am still searching forums looking for clean and simple guides to answer or accomplish the following questions. I know that some of my questions can be answered, but figured I would ask them anyway and come back with links or notes later.


Questions:
1. Where is the original pogoplug software kept?

2. Does uboot replace the original pogoplug software?

3. What settings in uboot correspond to the OS? ie. Why would a uboot setup to work with debian, NOT work with Archlinuxarm?

4. What settings within Archlinuxarm would I need to change to work with uboot?

5. What settings determine how to boot from an SD card instead of a usb stick?

OK. This is quite doable.

kwboot is a tool that can load u-boot image to a kirkwood box that supports UART booting. If the box senses the present of kwboot at the other end of the serial line (ie. UART 0) then it will accept u-boot image and load it to memory and start it. This is how I usually test a new u-boot before flashing it to NAND or SPI flash for real.

u-boot image is usually stored in NAND or SPI flash (mtd0). So is the u-boot envs.

USB, SD card, HDD all bootable media for Pogo V4. The rootfs must reside on a disk partition (that u-boot can find). The OS (rootfs) contain the kernel files and other files.

In NAND for Pogo V4.

The new u-boot replaces the stock u-boot on NAND mtd0. Stock OS remains intact.

Arch rootfs is a little different. Very minor difference. I just never got around to add a couple necessary envs to boot Arch.

I'll need to do this test and give instruction. Instead of helping you with a quick fix, perhaps I would do this so that it can be incorporated into the next release of the default envs.

It's all scripted in the default envs image that you've flashed during installing new u-boot.

Bodhi,

I am happy to beta test. Judging from the insane number of comments on these forums, you do a heck of a lot of work/responding. Since I am directly benefiting, its probably the least I can do.

I am going to search a bit and see what my next step is to fix the device so it can boot on its own.

Cool!

Your rootfs mounting has problem above. The bootargs need adjustment. Interrupt uboot, at console:

setenv set_bootargs_usb 'setenv bootargs console=$console root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=$rootdelay  $mtdparts'
boot

Great, that did it.

Now I have the console via serial connection. I am logged in as root.

I think I will exit the serial connection though and ssh in via network.

I will build a new archlinux arm sd card and wait for direction.

Cool!

Have you flashed the default envs image now? Remember to save your current envs as instructed in section "8. Flashing default u-boot envs image".

To test boot Arch with u-boot-2016.05-tld-1:

- Make sure you have flashed the default envs image and adjusted envs to boot normally.
- Boot with serial console connected (not kwboot, just boot normally). Interrupt serial console, and execute the following commands:

TBD - will post here soon.

I was following the uboot-kirkwood flashing tutorial:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

and when I was on step one checking my mtd partitions, here is what I got:

root@debian:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00200000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00300000 00020000 "uImage"

mtd3: 00800000 00020000 "failsafe"
mtd4: 07000000 00020000 "root"

Should I modify that so it matches what you have in the tutorial? If so....how?

scales11,

Don't modify it. That's the Pogo V4 definition and it is fine.

Scales11,

Here is what need to be done to be able to boot both Debian and Arch. From information in Arch script, it is easy to set up.

Testing the boot option using the Pogo V4:

1. Following instruction in the u-boot thread, flash u-boot-2016.05-tld-1 and its default envs image uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img and adjusted envs (arcNumber, ipaddr, ethaddr, dtb_file ....) to boot normally into Debian.

2. Shutdown the box, remove Debian rootfs, insert the Arch rootfs (USB, SD card, or HDD).

3. With serial console connected (not kwboot, just boot normally with regular serial console tool such as picocom, putty, or screen). Power up, interrupt serial console, and execute the following commands:

setenv dtb_file_alt '/boot/dtbs/kirkwood-pogoplug_v4.dtb'
setenv load_dtb 'echo loading DTB file ... ; if load $bootdev $device $load_dtb_addr $dtb_file; then echo $dtb_file; else if load $bootdev $device $load_dtb_addr $dtb_file_alt; then echo $dtb_file_alt; else echo *** DTB file not found; fi; fi'
boot

Note that there is 2 other alternatives to test this boot option (one is using uEnv.txt), even if no serial console is connected. However, serial console would be the best tool to see if this procedure will be executed correctly.

I was following the guide, step 8, section B and I ran into the following. Note: So far this is the only error that I have seen, everything else looked fine. I do not know if I can skip this step or just continue.

root@debian:/media/usbstick# tools/nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.bodhi/uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img

Also, I am unsure what you mean by "and adjusted envs (arcNumber, ipaddr, ethaddr, dtb_file ....)" from your earlier post. I cant recall what the mac address is on this pogoplug, I can change the ipaddr setting, but i am not sure what to change them to...my default gateway (aka router)? I believe I need to change the settings before I flash....

Well I proceeded to follow the guide despite the error, rebooted (still using the debian rootfs). Below is what I get.

I followed the whole guide in the uboot thread that you linked to, correctly I think...

This is good:

This should not happened immediately after the above command:

It is good that u-boot was flashed successfully. What's not good is the default evns were unsucessfully flashed for some reason.

Ok you can do this to get the default envs populated at the u-boot prompt, and boot into Debian to reflash the envs image:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,29362,29390#msg-29390

Note the part about adjusting the envs in the linked post. I've modified that for the Pogo V4 (bold) below. You can set your ethaddr to the real one here (italic):

Quote

Adjust the other specific envs and then boot the rootfs:

setenv devices 'usb mmc ide'
setenv ethaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-pogoplug_v4.dtb'

boot

Sorry for the delay, got busy and did not have time to get back to this. I tried the above post, but after powering off my pogo, something has changed. Now I can no longer boot to my rootfs debian usb. Also I was unable to set the default envs and re-flash as you mentioned. Thoughts?

scales11,

On another Linux box, check your rootfs, what happened to the script file? it is not on it anymore.

Pogov4> ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.scr
** File not found /boot/uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.scr **

And don't boot with kwboot, you have flashed the new u-boot to NAND, so from now on it is the image that the box will run. Just connect serial console using picocom, putty, or screen (depending on the host box you are using).

Actually the script file is still there. If I try to boot without using kwboot, I still do not get a light, only the ethernet light flashes for a moment.

Nothing if I connect to serial.

Ok then boot with kwboot again, interrupt serial console,

printenv
usb start
ext2ls usb 0:1 /boot

If the script file is still on this USB drive /boot, it would show up in the output. Please post the log here.

The file is there! So if this command failed

ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.scr

Then you should check for file system error (fsck using another Linux box), and then mount it and try to print out the content (cat). See if Linux command line can see the file.

Well I found the issue:

~$ sudo fsck /dev/sdc
fsck from util-linux 2.27.1
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
ext2fs_open2: Bad magic number in super-block
fsck.ext2: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
 or
    e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

I think I made the partition table DOS instead of gpt. I am going to reformat my drive and try again.

However, I still think there is an issue with the pogoplug, because even if there is no media in it, the light never comes on during boot.

Well, I am confused.

1. I made a mistake and formatted my old working rootfs usb stick (used it for something else)

2. I am struggling to make a new one and I cannot recall which "HOW-TO" I followed. I am using this one:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096
but frankly, it is confusing.
-I extracted the debian 4.4.0 (Updated 20 Feb 2016) file and followed those steps, skipping the parts that say (skip if you are installing the new uboot).
-I then started the steps under (Oct 2016) with the newest kernel (4.9.0)
-I do not understand why I am supposed to use dpkg -i...since I am doing this from a ubuntu machine, it would try to install the kernel locally, which fails because my system is not of the arm architecture.

Can you please link me to the correct steps that I should be following?

...I feel like I am taking 1 step forward and 10 backward.

scales11,

Right here. You've completed the rootfs. Any kernel upgrade need to be on live system.

Note the instruction said you're done in step 5:

5. Done. Take this USB rootfs to your plug and cold start. After booted into Debian, see Note1 and Note2 below. It is very important that you do Note1 steps to secure your box.

dpkg -i can only be done on the live system.

(The only way that dpkg would be applicable using x86 architecture-base Linux to install ARM kernel is: if instruction has a step using qemu).


And btw, you had a typo previously (should be sdc1):

~$ sudo fsck /dev/sdc1
