> Can I reboot by netconsole? Don't use netconsole when you have serial console. Serial console willl show everything, netconsole is not good for troubleshooting now. Once you got everything working, you could remove serial console (in this case leave the 3 wires attached for furture debugging). And then set up netconsole if you wish to see the boot progress, and also recover from aby bodhi - uBoot

@ksuszka, Thanks! that was great info. However, you did not answer my question: QuoteHave you figured out if we can install Linux on this box without using the wloader GUI to select booting from USB? or is it the only way?

We are also facing another EOL issue with a possible removal of armel architecture in Debian 13. Basically, if that happens we can continue upgrading Kirkwood kernel, but all Kirkwood boxes are stuck in Debian 12 :( Hopefully another distro will still support armel. What has kept armel in Debian 12 is the rPi, thanks rPI :) I hope that specific rPI board will continue to ship for a longer timeby bodhi - Debian

Cool! It works very well for the first try. Now let's run some tests and make it boot with the script (from the tarball). Boot with stock u-boot, login to Debian, cp -a boot.scr /boot/ sync Run kwboot again with the new u-boot, and reboot (or shutdown and power up) the box.

Hi Robin, Please try kwboot this initial version for the DS216 u-boot. But don't flash it yet. If all goes well, you can boot with the current envs. However, I have not finalized the default envs yet, so it will be posted later.
