Hello to all WD Ex2 Ultra owners and all other interested parties, I have a relatively quick question today: Did you ever actively use the RED Sata LEDs, that are supposed to be on GPIO 43 and 52? See this excerpt from some device tree adaptations: sata1-red-led { label = "wdmcex2u:red:hdd1"; gpios = <&gpio1 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; }; sata2-red-led {by ingmar_k - Debian
In the hope, that superelchi is still looking through this thread from time to time, I attached the dump from a screen, that I think could be AX206-based. Thanks in advance!by ingmar_k - Displays
Hi guys and gals, has been quite some time, since I last was active in here. In short: Life and job had kept me busy and still do. I was recently working with my old Netgear Readynas Duo V2 ( that one: http://natisbad.org/NAS/index.html ). Had it setup with classic Debian 9 at the time and wanted to try working with the GPIO buttons with inputlircd and irexec. That is when I realized, thby ingmar_k - Debian
Still no answer(s) from Shuttle. Informed the team at gpl-violations.org, like I said. Let's see if they can help, as I see this kind of behavior as inacceptable. Using open source software as you please, without providing anything, that the license terms clearly state, is NOT the way to go.by ingmar_k - Off-Topic
@sarcastic.mannequin: The described serial header here ( http://iomega.nas-central.org/wiki/PCB_Photos_(ix2-ng) ) is UART1 then, or what is up with that?by ingmar_k - uBoot
About another week later and still no reaction from Shuttle. Not even any answer at all. If it stays that way, I already told them, that it would be time for an entry at http://gpl-violations.org/ . I do not understand it, that in todays world, companies still think that they can just use open source, without working according to the rules. It's really sad.by ingmar_k - Off-Topic
@sarcastic.mannequin: FYI, it probably will not be labled "UART0", via Silkscreen on the PCB. Probably its an unnamed 4-pin header with VCC, RX, TX and GND. If you have a working U-Boot installed, that sends serial output, you can determine which is TX, via a digital oscilloscope. A little creative testing might be required.by ingmar_k - uBoot
Maybe interesting for you, although I don't know if all the info there still applies: https://www.cnx-software.com/2016/01/27/sdk-released-for-steam-link-based-on-marvell-armada-1500-mini-processor/by ingmar_k - Off-Topic
Hi all, I recently accquired a Shuttle KS10 NAS, which is a quite interesting 1-Bay NAS with Armada 370 SOC and WIFI. Nice for setting up a small backup network share with its own WIFI AP. Anyway... Looked at the sofware and it still uses kernel 3.2.xx, which I don't really intend to use. So, I wrote to Shuttle support TWICE, inquiring to get the source code, for the obviously Linuxby ingmar_k - Off-Topic
Big THANKS to all who helped! If this works, the friend I am doing this for, will be quite happy.by ingmar_k - uBoot
Well, time's the only issue- Otherwise I would post more often. Do I really need to pay Lenovo for that code? Nobody around, who still has the source backed up somewhere?by ingmar_k - uBoot
Hi guys, I am working on an "old" IX2-200 for a friend and would also be in need of the Source Code. Can someone help me out? I do not really feel inclined to give Lenovo 10,-USD for GPL Sources on a CD. Big thanks in advance!by ingmar_k - uBoot
Thank you very much for the info guys. I'll try kernel 4.2 next, then. :-)by ingmar_k - Debian
Hi guys, I have a quick question concerning the relatively new "marvell_cesa" driver. Is there anyone with a Seagate Goflex-Net, who has the driver running successfully? I tried with the latest Debian kernel sources (upto 4.3-RC7), but could not get it up and running. Driver module always reported return code -22. My current guess is that the device tree file is not 100% correct.by ingmar_k - Debian
Thanks bodhi! I would've tried a long time ago, again, if I wasn't really time limited, due to my new job. No so much time for tinkering with devices, like the pogoplug anymore. :-( But anyway, that's how it goes. :-)by ingmar_k - Debian
Hi guys, just out of curiosity: Anyone tried anything else than a mini pcie wireless card in the mini pcie slot of the pro, lately? I remember trying a mini pcie usb3.0 and sata card, a while back. But without success, as far as I can remember. Could have been a power problem, though. Regards Ingmarby ingmar_k - Debian
Hehe. :-D Actually, I am so busy at work right now that I would not have thought of that. BUT, it's still a good idea. The debian default kirkwood config was always a quite good start point.by ingmar_k - Debian
mv_cesa is kirkwood. This is Oxnas! So no hardware encryption as far as I know.by ingmar_k - Debian
Good to know. I run a kernel, though, that I compiled myself. ;-) That's why this happened, I suppose. I had read about the problem some time ago already, but had forgotten about it in the meantime. Big thanks to anyone who made this problem known, distributed the information and or howto to fix it! Very much appreciated.by ingmar_k - Debian
Thank you very much for the hint! I just ran into a kernel oops with a Goflex-Net and Kernel 3.16.3 and samba over eth0. Seems this fixed it. At least I hope that it did.by ingmar_k - Debian
You have to search through kernel packages and NOT rootfs packages, in order to find a matching cifs.ko. It has to be part of a kernel package, because it has to match the kernel that you are using. If bodhi compiled the kernel without cifs support, then you either have to build your own kernel, or just ask bodhi for a new kernel package with cifs support enabled.by ingmar_k - Debian
Just a little heads up: My scripts only work reliably and successfully with Debian Wheezy at the moment. The switch to systemd on Jessie and Sid seems to have broken the standard process that I used, with /etc/rc.local to automatically run some installation steps. I am working on a newer version of the scripts, which should fix this. I just thought I'd let you know, as I read about itby ingmar_k - Debian
Maybe I'll find the time today. I'll let you know. But I know exactly what you mean. Lots of plans, but never enough time to do all of it. :-) Same procedure, every year.by ingmar_k - Debian
Just out of curiosity: Are all the modules, that were now asked to be included in the OXNAS kernel release, included in the standard "kirkwood_defconfig"? If yes, then I still think that it would be easiest to just "adapt" the Debian kirkwood_defconfig for OXNAS. If no, then just ignore this. ;-)by ingmar_k - Debian
I think what WarheadsSE was trying to say is: There ARE indeed kernel sources for OX810. They are quite old, but they exist. So your approach would be to take those sources and port them to newer kernel versions. Maybe 2.6.32 or something like that first and maybe later newer kernels. The point is: If there are no newer sources and nobody else is interested enough, you'll have to do theby ingmar_k - Debian
My guess would be that you probably only told U-Boot to load the uImage file, but not the device tree (.dtb) file, together with it. That would explain why the kernel complains that it does not know the Hardware it is supposed to run on. Could be something else, though, too. Not enough Information from your part, so far.by ingmar_k - Debian
Did you load the correct dtb file? Does not really look like it, though.by ingmar_k - Debian
If I remember correctly, the old implementation also used some sort of caching mechanism. Something maybe like CMA. That could account for the Performance difference. @shv: MAC-Address correctly set in /etc/network/Interfaces? The error message reads a bit like the MAC address could not be determined and/or set. But I am just guessing.by ingmar_k - Debian
I woud guess that the implemented DMA mechanism simply was better suited to the CPU, in the stock kernel patches.by ingmar_k - Debian
I will try to get my mini pcie sata and/or USB3.0 controllers working with my Pogo V3 Pro the next few days. I am really interested in seeing how these will perform with the new kernel. Or first if they will work at all. @shv: Still very interesting to see that the old kernel performs best, when it comes to SATA..by ingmar_k - Debian
