Newer uBoot as workaround to 3.2 kernel problem?

Following an upgrade of uBoot, I have successfully upgraded my Docstar to kernel 3.2.0-2 (latest wheezy).

Thanks for the great work guys.

I want to look at code and see what is up. AFAICR, I didn't hard code in the MAC/hw address, but I'll double check. EDIT: just checked - it isn't in the code . And as far as I can see, that isn't a Dockstar... here's why...

It probably came from other uboot then. Prior to using Jeff's I was using OpenWRT uboot. Doesn't matter. It was just a bit odd.

Thank you again, Jeff, for hosting davy's uboot and for this wonderful site! When I first got my Dockstar the only reason was that it was so cheap ($30!), and that it was much more powerful than my Buffalo router so I could offload the web server from the router. But thanks to you and your site I was able to switch from OpenWRT to Debian, and then upgrade to the GoFlex Net when it came out! Your work is greatly appreciated by countless numbers of untold people like me who rarely, if ever, have a need to visit this forum.

It's official, Davy's images are the new default!

Awesome! Just awesome.

@davy

Thanks again for all your hard work! Your new uboot's have been working flawlessly for a good while now.

I have two GoFlex Net's with external 2Gb 3.5 SATA hdd's. They serve as MythTV backend and slave backend, and web server, media server etc. I retired the Dockstar and sold it on eBay. But, unfortunately, it was returned in a bricked state as the guy tried, and failed, to reload the uboot. I reloaded the uboot via the JTAG procedure and now it works fine again. Anybody trying that procedure needs to be aware that a relocatable uboot like Jeff's is needed during the "boot from memory" portion.

I decided to go ahead and keep the Dockstar. It's not worth the trouble to try and sell it again on eBay. So I am going to use it as an ARM development platform. Compiling vanilla Kirkwood kernels and some small tools has already been a success. My next project is to actually succeed in getting a working uboot compiled after my failed prior attempt.

I've just come to upgrade u-boot on my 4 Dockstar and on my GoFlex net.
It works perfectly. Thank you very much for what you have done.

For the Goflex Net, to be able to boot with SATA, I had to adjust some variables:

fw_setenv sata_device '0:1'
fw_setenv sata_root '/dev/sda1'
fw_setenv sata_rootfstype 'ext3'
fw_setenv sata_rootdelay '10'
fw_setenv sata_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=$console root=$sata_root rootdelay=$sata_rootdelay rootfstype=$sata_rootfstype $mtdparts $sata_custom_params'
fw_setenv sata_boot 'ide reset; mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load ide $sata_device 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load ide $sata_device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi'
fw_setenv sata_bootcmd 'run sata_set_bootargs; run sata_boot'
fw_setenv bootcmd 'usb start; run force_rescue_bootcmd; run ubifs_bootcmd; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; run sata_bootcmd; run rescue_bootcmd; run pogo_bootcmd; reset'

I compiled a new u-boot with no problems. I can use kwboot to load it and boot my kernel but I can not seem to get it properly loaded into flash. I followed this

make mrproper
make nsa320_config
make u-boot.kwb
dd if=u-boot.kwb of=uboot.mtd0.kwb bs=512k conv=sync

NSA320> tftpboot 0x800000 uboot.mtd0.kwb

And that is all. Even if I cycle power nothing happens. Any advice??

Hi. Have lurked a year or so but joined up today so I could thank Davygravy for the great work. Also of course, Jeff for all he's done, too much to list. Installed the new uboot last night on my Dockstar and this morning began running the ArchArm 3.4.6 kernel, no problem. Also, you guys have got that environment thing worked out it appears, just did a diff between my backed up env and current, there ain't no diff. I just simply answered N to the question at the end, as Jeff posted earlier. It was all really no muss no fuss. I really had no problem with the "frozen" 3.10 Arch kernel, but I know how lonely it can get as you drift further & further out to sea on that tiny, melting iceberg :)

Thanks guys!

Hello everybody. I have a couple of questions. I have UBit 0.6 installed which supports booting from sata.
Does this new version of U-boot support booting from sata?

If not, what could I do to have new U-Boot so that I could boot >=3.2 kernel and boot from sata?

Thanks!

I finally had some free time and decided to update the bootloader on my GoFlex Net. Everything went fine, such that now I'm running "U-Boot 2011.12 (Apr 18 2012 - 23:08:20)". At this point I'd like to thank davygravy and Jeff for their efforts to patch U-Boot for newer kernels and provide an easy install procedure. Since this might be interesting to others, I'd like to describe my update procedure in more details.

My GoFlex Net was running with UBIT v0.6 and Debian Squeeze. First, I wanted to update the bootloader using netconsole, but luckily I noticed that after doing "tftp 0x8000 xxx.kwb" my GF Net accepted at most one or two commands before loosing connection. I have no idea what the reason was, but such a behavior was surely not safe to perform an update. Then I noticed that Jeff already updated his "install_uboot_mtd0.sh" script and I decided to give it a try.

That's what I did from Debian Squeeze

su
fw_printenv > /root/fw_printenv.txt
cd /tmp
wget http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh 
chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh --no-uboot-check

the "--no-uboot-check" key was neccessary because I had UBIT v0.6 and Jeff's script refused to recognize it. Here's the log of Jeff's script

After that I rebooted my GF Net. Of course, netconsole worked as expected, such that
using

sudo ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.5 && nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666

I could monitor the boot process. That's how it looks like in my case

I'm very content with the simplicity of the update procedure. Thanks guys!

One more thing. I noticed that after upadting to the latest U-Boot the kernel was obviously unable to mount rootfs correctly such that the system didn't boot. After connecting serial console and monitoring boot process directly, I immediately was able to recognize the problem

The problem is "usb_rootfstype=ext2" in U-Boot environment. On my systems I use ext4 and sometimes ext3 but never ext2. With UBIT v0.6 this never was a problem, even though there I had "usb_rootfstype=ext2" too.

Anyway, after entering

setenv usb_rootfstype ext4
saveenv
reset

in the Marvell prompt, everything works as usual.

Just want to confirm Vlad's guide (thanks for that) for updating from UBIT 0.6 to current U-Boot. Everything works fine with my GoFlex Net.

One more feedback.

Today I bought a second brand new GoFlex Net (not hacked) and decided to unlock it via direct serial connection. After booting to that crippled Linux GF Net has, I downloaded and executed Jeff's U-Boot script.

bash
cd /tmp
wget http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh

Everything worked flawlessly. Of course I chose to disable Pogoplug Services and changed arcNumber to 3089. Big thanks to Jeff for offering such an easy procedure to unlock GF Net.

If you're interested, here's the complete log:

How can you do that? could you post your fw_printenv seetings? mine only boots from the right slot.

I flashed this uboot to my dockstar using Jeff's script, and it appeared to flash ok. When I reboot, I get the following message when trying to start the kernel from usb (watching via serial):

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

I assume this "machine ID (r1 = 0x00000bb6)" is related to arcNumber. bb6 hex is 2998 decimal. At the "u-boot>>" prompt, "printenv arcNumber" gives 2097, which in hex is 831--one of the IDs listed for Available machine support.

What do I need to do to be able to boot?

This looks like a very old kernel that doesn't have any support for the Dockstar. That appears to be the problem - perhaps the only one.

Any plans of Uboot supporting "intelligent" boot choice on GoFlex Net, when both USB and SATA drives are hooked in? Currently it works on Debian by using LABEL env param, but doesn't work out of the box on ArchLinux ARM. You were seemingly determined to support both OSs, since most folks would have difficulty fixing it on their own. :)

Also, can you post a list of Hush Shell commands implemented in Jeff's & your Uboot version?

TBH, I'm currently involved w/ a possible new job/position shift, as well as several other responsibilities... I can't put any more time into it right now...

If you ever have time in the foreseeable future, you may want to look among others at this approach combined with one of those to identify a suitable drive with rootfs to boot from when several USB and SATA drives are hooked to GFN.

Another way to address the issue would be adding to Uboot tools a corresponding tool capable of scanning and listing all drives with rootfs hooked to GFN & GFH and other such Plugs.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/04/2012 08:33AM by sambul14.

@sambul14: I've read some of your posts. The only solution I found is checking for the presence of an usb drive via trying to load the kernel from that place. If it is ok then root=/dev/sdb1, else root=/dev/sda1. If you remove SATA drive this approach doesn't work, but you DON'T really need to do that, or maybe yes?

The other option is install a little distro on nand space, this will avoid all your problems cause your GFN will boot everytime from nand, and just some shell scripting will be needed to handle your other mountpoints...

This is NOT EASY & NOT NEEDED for daily basis work.

-- I've installed the distro in nand in all my plugcomputers (emdebian | armedslack | buildroot ) and minimized the bootloader enviroment & vars to what I need (just nand read.e & setenv bootargs & bootm).

Replying to my own previous post here, and to Handy1 who PMed me regarding this...

I will re-research the issue of GPT and 64bit support. IIRC, it requires at least two settings changed on the config.h file...

CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION (which may be a misnomer - perhaps GPT would be a better name for it) and CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA .

Once I roll some trial uboot images, and test that they will boot normal stuff, then I can put them out there for a few of you to try with 3TB drives and a GPT layout.

The may of the rescue images that I built and posted lately have GPT support.

I'm getting the exact same errors as BigRon :(

@Ron,

It's unusual that your prompt is "ubit0-6:". Did you run installation script from Pogoplug stock OS ? how did you begin? Booting without USB, loged in with SSH? ....

Also, why did you use the option "--no-uboot-check"? what happened before that caused you've decided to run the installation with this option? Normally, this option is not needed.

Ah! you don't really need to install uBit. Installing uBoot will make it a little more straight forward, and works with both Debian and Arch (However, uBit should work, too). But not too many people run that to install Debian. We usually just run the install_uboot_mtd right from the stock Pogo OS.

Can you try to boot back to stock Pogo and run uBoot installation script from there. These errors should not happen (it indicates that the sed and head commands could not be found in the OS where you run installation):

./install_uboot_mtd0.sh: line 342: head: not found
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh: line 342: sed: not found

My friend was able to connect in remotely and get me all fixed up. Upgraded uboot to the latest version and upgraded my kernel, made a 20mb partition at the end of my drive for /boot and converted the rest to EXT4. Everything working sweet now :) Sorry, no idea how he did it, was going too fast for me to take notes :(

The Arch GoFlex instructions don't say to skip the uboot check anywhere that I've seen. Could you post a link to where you saw that bit?

Davy, if you're respinning the uboot images, would you be up for doing some with Device Tree support enabled for testing?

He probably meant this: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3355

I might have found an issue with this uBoot:
Either there's something wrong with the kernel patch or uBoot doesn't pass proper arcNumber to the kernel on some devices. There's was a post in this where somebody could boot the kernel and the arcNumber wasn't what he set it to.
In my case (and others over at archlinuxarm reported similar problems) Pogoplug E02 gets recognised as SheevaPlug Reference Board even though arcNumber is set properly

dmesg | grep Machine
[    0.000000] Machine: Marvell SheevaPlug Reference Board

fw_printenv | grep arcNumber
arcNumber=3542

On my GoFlex Home, however everything is fine:

dmesg | grep Machine
[    0.000000] Machine: Seagate GoFlex Home

fw_printenv | grep arcNumber
arcNumber=3338

I've noticed that right after upgrading uBoot a while ago LED was orange as though arcNumber was not set properly, even though with the older uBoot and the same kernel LED was green. I didn't really pay attention at the time though.

Seeing how there are 2 different uBoot images for GoFlex and Pogoplug maybe something was forgotten in the Pogoplug version?

Yes. Davy was aware of this, as I recall, and had a patched uBoot version. The work around right now for Pogo E02 is to also set the machid to the appropriate number. I've posted this somewhere in this forum.

Addendum:

Try this: fw_setenv machid dd6

Thank you bodhi, the fix works great.

It's been a while since I've hacked on my arm hardware, but I still have a couple of pristine PogoPlug E02s which need to be jail broken and have their uBoot reflashed so that they can eventually become the backup hardware for when my existing servers bite the dust. I am wondering what is the latest uBoot that I should use for this purpose. I am still running Squeeze here, not Wheezy, so I need a uBoot which will boot Squeeze, but I'd prefer to install one which will handle Wheezy and the later kernels for when I eventually upgrade. Is the top post of this thread by davygravy still the best version and the one I should be using? I can use tftp to install it, as davygravy suggests, but I'd prefer to use an installer if one is available. (Fewer possibilities for cockpit errors.) So, can someone please point me to the latest and greatest uBoot and installer?

Thanks in advance.
