Debian cannot boot on KD20 after flashing u-boot

I was trying to get a KD20 OMNINAS to boot from USB.

At first I managed to use tftp upload of uImage with kd20.dtb appended and uInitrd
I could mostly reproduce the events as described in: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16469,page=2 until

I could boot from sata and from USB when uImage and UInitrd were loaded with tftp.

To flash U-boot I booted from USB, downloaded the uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.bodhi.tar and continued following your advise to ´Bastler´ as described in the 3rd last message dated: November 15, 2018 05:26PM to continue with flashing in Debian as described in: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017

So I did.
I followed the description and everything looked OK. There was only a different output then expected from the flash_erase command:

root@debian:/tmp# /usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x0 6
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7f5f1f5c00000064 --  6 % complete

I thought I had encountered similar erroneous output before when flashing my Pogoplug, so I ignored this anomaly.

fw_printenv showed:

That seemed OK to me, but i noticed that the dtb_file was for a pogoplug so I changed it to a ox820-kd20.dtb
with:

fw_setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/ox820-kd20.dtb'

output from fw_printenv showed it was indeed modified in the environment:

This was quite a disappointment, I have no idea where things went wrong........
Maybe I should not have ignored these outputs:
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7f5f1f5c00000064 -- 6 % complete
and
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7f621f5c00000064 -- 9 % complete

Another thing I can think of is this message: ** File not found /boot/uEnv.txt **
I have not created an uEnv.txt yet, but did not expect that a missing uEnv.txt would end up in not booting at all.....

And an error about ide_preinit failing from u-boot.

I used Linux version 4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1 (stretch) because Debian Buster was not stable. I had similar problems as I have encountered with Buster with a fresh install on USB for a PogoplugPro.

Any idea´s ?

The "flashing errors" were benign. That was a misleading output from flash_erase (known problem). But things went OK.

That's was also not important. The u-boot script simply did not find uEnv.txt. And uEnv.txt is optional.

Meaning there is no SATA drive plugged in. If the SATA drive was pluggeg in, it has no power.

All and all, the u-boot flashing was successful, since you can load and start the kernel:

However, I don't recall anybody has installed the OXNAS u-boot on NAND for this box. People have run this box with a much older u-boot (built from my GitHub source) on SATA, in a direct SATA booting (with WarheadsSE 's magic dust in the HDD sector).

It looks like a memory location issue.

Some users have run the later kernels (linux-4.4.201-oxnas-tld-1, and linux-4.14.180-oxnas-tld-1) on this box, IIRC. You could keep it at Debian Stretch, but install these later kernels on it.

You can use your Pogo V3 to do this, or run chroot into the drive to install. If you have not done chroot to install kernel before, let me know, I meant to write a new tutorial post to upload my shell script, but never got around to do this (no urgency).

Bohdi,

I am impressed with your swift response!

I also see that most of my assumptions were OK.

What I missed completely is that the OXNAS U-boot is actually not used at all on this box.
I guess I completely misinterpreted your advice to ´Bastler´ and specifically this part at:https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16469,page=2
3rd last message where I read this:

> Remember, this box is the same SoC OX820 as the Pogo Pro V3.
quote to flashing U-boot procedure
and
>In your case, you would use your KD20 files:

stage1.wrapped-nand --- instead of uboot.spl.2013.10.ox820.850mhz.mtd0.img
u-boot.wrapped-nand  --- instead of uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.mtd0.img

I assumed that you advised 'Bastler' to flash ¨stage1.wrapped-nand¨ because 'Bastler' previously had decided he did not want to use the Pogoplug u-boot after all but wanted to go back to the original U-boot.

I do have a kd20.zip files with both ¨wrapped-nand¨ files, but thought one of them would be the same as the mtd0 backup I made with:

nanddump --noecc --omitoob -f mtd0  /dev/mtd0

So I assumed that you actually advised him to just restore stock images.

I was also a bit puzzled because within the new U-boot the ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb is used and not the ox820-kd20.dtb and was wondering if that might limit it´s required functionality somehow.

Anyway, I decided to flash the OXNAS U-boot to the kd20.

What happened after that you know now;)

I am a bit lost about steps to revert the U-boot flashing because I cannot boot into Debian anymore.
In the whole process I have tried to make a bootable sata disk(with WarheadsSE 's magic dust in the HDD sector). But that did work properly. But that was probably caused by missing of working images on it.
Because I could ftpboot I did not explore that route.

At the moment I have no clear view with light at the end of the tunnel how to re-establish a stable situation.

My goal would be: a U-boot version that can boot from USB or SATA when the requirement are fullfilled just like I have now with the PogoPro. (e.g. LABEL:rootfs)

In fact it just worked like that with the tftpboot. Both USB boot and sataboot worked when I added:

I would like to know how to use my PogoPro for this steps, or how to use chrooting for this.
I have used chroot in the past, but that was not more than copy/paste command, because then I had no real idea what was happening.

I have gained a lot more Linux knowledge since than but chrooting is not one of the topics I have explored yet.
Basically I am an old school programmer and have written programs in assembly language and later on used Pascal and C. So low level programming is not much of a problem when needed.
But now the complexity and interaction between existing modules, there functionality, structures etc. are the elements that make it difficult to figure out things.


At the moment the KD20 is completely inoperable. I see the new U-boot message on the TTY but then it gets stuck and no commands are accepted. So at the moment the only way out is sataboot I expect. And that just did not function. I tried to create a new sata boot disk with the schnee script. The script executed, but for some reason it could not mount one of the partition it created a while ago to write the rootfs files. So I manually completed the steps of the procedure. However then at booting it could not find the DTB files.... Those were from the Pogo Classic for some reason and they are on rootfs disc in the correct location, but the boot process could not find them.
I will try to figure out if I missed things. I was hoping to be able to ftp boot with the U-boot from the sataboot, but that did not work out either. It looks as if no ethernet interface is available.

So I am pretty stuck now.

Thanks anyway for all your assistance so far!

hacksome,

Turbo Pascal? depending on your asnwer, I would be able to guess how far back you started proramming :)

At this point, there are 3 alternative paths:

1. Try to fix the current booting problem. I have not looked closely what is the different between this KD20 and the Pogo V3. So that's why I suggest you update the kernels to latest to see if that will be resolved, without us spending time reinventing wheel.

2. (Recommended) Get Direct SATA booting working now. And flash stock u-boot in Debian. This is always a good thing to have so you have a rescue mechanism for your box.

3. Flash stock SPL and u-boot in serial console. Since you can run u-boot to the prompt, you don't need to have the Direct SATA booting working. You can start at Step 7

7. Installation steps

But you need to post the size of the "wrapped_nand" images, so I can see if the instruction need to be revised.

stage1.wrapped-nand --- instead of uboot.spl.2013.10.ox820.850mhz.mtd0.img
u-boot.wrapped-nand  --- instead of uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.mtd0.img

Bodhi,

I would like to roll back what I did and option 3 seems the most easy option to me, however for some reason I cannot establish a tftp connection with the U-boot available with direct boot from SATA. It looks as if no Ethernet device is detected.
When I set various addresses: serverip, ipaddr, gatewayip etc. Only the ipaddr is retained when saved and rebooted. Both serverip and other changes are lost. There are dhcp and ping commands available, but dhcp receives no response and the ping command does not get a response either. Maybe this is due to the U-boot using a pogo classic.dtb. I don't know.

I will try to re-create a SATA boot disk or create one with another U-boot/kernel too see if one of them will provide access to a working linux shell or to have re-enabled tftp boot capabilities. I still have a USB image that booted successfully after using tftp commands to load a uImage and uInitrd built with KD20 DTB appended.

Your question:

> But you need to post the size of the "wrapped_nand" images, so I can see if the instruction need to be revised.

stage1.wrapped-nand --- instead of uboot.spl.2013.10.ox820.850mhz.mtd0.img
u-boot.wrapped-nand  --- instead of uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.mtd0.img

This is exactly where I went wrong in the steps to continue with. I though that your advise was: the KD20 is also an OXNAS system so you can flash the Pogopro U-boot and it will work. I found out this is not so the hard way....

I had poked aroundt a bit with a Hex editor in the images to see if its contents did make any sense.

The uboot.spl.2013.10.ox820.850mhz.mtd0.img did not show any human recognizable information. The only thing I could make of it that it contained a pattern of hex codes 0xAA and 0x55. I know this is not random because 0x55 is 01010101 and 0xAA is 10101010. So I assumed this images presented a bit pattern matrix. But how it is used? I have no idea.

In the uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.mtd0.img I recognized various areas. ASCII strings with text kernel version, labels, U-boot commands and variables. Most of the image contents looked as machine code to me and I recognized one thing that made me hesitate a little: the image uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.mtd0.img tries to load the ¨boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb¨. But I gambled that some misconfiguration would not screw up the machine completely.

So I went on and flashed the PogoPro U-boot...........

I also discovered why a /tmp directory has this name. When you download files into this directory and store data in it you lose all of it with the next boot. I did execute all flashing commands from within the /tmp directory.
So I have no mtd0 backup. I now just hope that I do not need that backup when I have somehow installed another working U-boot.

I have a KD20.zip file that contains both 'stage1.wrapped-nand' size 56.0 kb and 'u-boot.wrapped-nand' files size 1.3MB. But being more cautious this time I checked those with a hex editor and I found out that both files only contain 0x55 and 0xAA patterns. I suppose those are not the ones to use.....

I have a KD20_sata_boot.tar.gz files that contains one directory with 3 files in it. Those files are not 'wrapped-nand' images but 'stage1.wrapped' and 'u-boot.wrapped' files and a disk create script that writes the magic dust in de HDD sector and copies the images to absolute disk aereas.

I assume these are the images I could or should use?

This is the script: disk_create

#!/bin/sh

# uncomment line below and set to the correct disk
#disk=/dev/sdX

if [ -z "${disk}" ] ; then
   echo "You must uncomment/set the 'disk' variable"
   exit -1
fi

workarea="."

stage1File=$workarea/stage1.wrapped
ubootFile=$workarea/u-boot.wrapped
kernelFile=$workarea/uImage

perl <<EOF | dd of="$disk" bs=512
    print "\x00" x 0x1a4;
    print "\x00\x5f\x01\x00";
    print "\x00\xdf\x00\x00";
    print "\x00\x80\x00\x00";
    print "\x00" x (0x1b0 -0x1a4 -12 );
    print "\x22\x80\x00\x00";
    print "\x22\x00\x00\x00";
    print "\x00\x80\x00\x00";
EOF

if [ -f $stage1File ];then
	echo "Writing stage 1"
	dd if=$stage1File    of="$disk" bs=512 seek=34
fi

if [ -f $ubootFile ];then
	echo "Writing uboot"
	dd if=$ubootFile     of="$disk" bs=512 seek=154
fi

if [ -f $kernelFile ];then
	echo "Writing kernel to "
	dd if=$kernelFile of="$disk"1 bs=512 
fi

There is no kernel file (uImage) provided. I guess I have to provide one myself. I assume I already have one, because I have a uImage with KD20.dtb created for tftp boot.

One thing I wonder is if you use 'dd' to just write blocks of data to disk there is no partition or filesystem information created. Will this work? I assume that will only work when those data-blocks are 'device' images that contain all required partition information within the written image?

Within the stage1.wrapper file, size 8.2 kb I see a name 'BOOTP' Maybe meaning BOOTPartition?
Within the u-boot.wrapper file, size 154.0 kb I see no label but the output of the ¨strings¨ command shows various familiar u-boot variables and also intriguing options that look like command to manage and test a lot of things using u-boot commands. If it is as I assume this looks like some kind of enhanced U-boot.

And about the missing uImage kernel file. I suppose that just writing only the stage1 and u-boot wrappers to a sata disk, than boot it will give me a U-boot prompt that I can use to tftp-load my existing KD20 Uimage and uInitrd and then boot my Debian stretch (KD20) USB and flash these new stage1 and u-boot wrappers from this KD20_sata_boot.tar.gz archive to the KD20 NAND instead of the uboot.spl.2013.10.ox820.850mhz.mtd0.img and the uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.mtd0.img.

All in all not very plug and play, but if the results will be that I can continue from there to modify the KD20 (U-boot) if needed so that it can have it boot from 'rootfs' labeled USB or SATA drives then I am the last one to complain about it.

As I realize now: for the direct SATA boot disk I created I used the PogoSata.tar.gz archive that contained a complete system that should be created with just running the script.(created by schnee) This didn´t work as expected. The script missed a drive it could not mount, so most files were not copied at all. But also the environment used is not based on a KD20, but on a Pogoplug classic. I now see that a different, much larger stage1.wrapper file is used. It has a u-boot.env file that contains a reference to the pogo-classic.dtb and there is a u-boot.img size 513.5kb that is much larger then the u-boot.wrapped file from the KD20_sata_boot.tar.gz archive which is only 154.0 kb.

I hope you can confirm one thing or another, confirm the steps I think I should take or tell where to use other options.

Thanks again for all your assistance on this.

If u-boot.wrapped-nand doesn't have u-boot version string and the envs in there, then it is not good. hexedit should show on the right hand column these data in readable text.

This is used to create the dirrect SATA drive booting partition.

Yes, use it to create the HDD.

It is OK. Trying booting first. Once you get to the u-boot prompt, then power down. Bring the HDD to another Linux box, and populate it with the rootfs Debian-4.14.180-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (Buster) or Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (Stretch).

dd should only be used in this procedure to write to a raw unused sector. That's where the magic dust is written to. Don't use it casually in anything related to writing to HDD. You will see dd used a lot in other scenarios, but mostly it is to deal with file as device (i.e. /dev/xxx) , or device as file, at a binary level.

Ignore this. It is not usable.

You don't need to run schnee script automatically. Just run each of the steps from his script. And when it get to the drive that you cannot mount, post the question here.

LOL in remembering DD's nickname is "disk destroyer". Looking down in shame having proven it a few times.

Bodhi,

I created the direct SATA boot with the KD20 'stage1.wrapped' and 'u-boot.wrapped' dd´ d those to the disk and i got a working U-boot.
I populated a rootfs with Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (Stretch). With KD20.dtb appended to uImage.

However, I could not figure out what u-boot environment changes were needed to actually boot from the disk.
printenv output from u-boot console:

Environment size: 1206/8188 bytes

I noticed that environment settings were quite different from the ones 'Bastler' had on his box.
Saving the environment changes give this output:
I modified the serverip address and tried to save it:

 OXNAS> saveenv
Saving Environment to Disk...

But after the reset command changes were vanished.


So I used the the follwing tftp procedure to boot Debian stretch.

tftp 0x60000000 uImage ; tftp 0x61000000 uInitrd
bootm 0x60000000 0x61000000

After that I can ssh into Debian stretch.

From there I flashed the 'stage1.wrapped' and 'u-boot.wrapped'

However I get this outputs:

nandwrite: error!: Data was only partially written due to error

And I have no environment to write.....
When booting without disk, nothing happens on the TTY.
I have also removed the magic dust on the sata disk so it would not use it´s own u-boot, but that did not work either.

I reflashed using the padding option:

No error message, but still no sign of life anywhere....

You should not reboot when there is error in flashing. Because there is no valid u-boot in NAND at this point.

And remember that you flashed stock u-boot, so anything related to the new u-boot will not apply.

Let's get back to booting with direct SATA again. Populate the HDD with the new rootfs. And I will come back to suggest the next step.

Bodhi,

maybe I was not specific enough. I have no problem creating a direct sata boot disk and populate the rootfs with a debian version. For now I use Debian Stretch 4.4.54. When I start this sata boot disk I get this U-boot screen on the serial TTY.

This is all that happens when I let the Uboot on the sata disk do it´s thing. It does not boot the disk, I assume because the environment is not properly configured to do that.
The uboot does not boot via tftp either because the serverip is not configured. If I interrupt the uboot, set the serverip and start tftpboot then it only downloads the uImage and returns to the uBoot prompt.

It uses the sata drive I guess:

What steps I have to execute from here to have it autonomously boot from disk, ideally either a USB or sata disk labeled ¨rootfs¨ or whatever name is chosen, I have lost track. The only thing I now know is that I still don´t now the details of the linux booting process well enough.

Very confusing is that I have different stage1.wrapped, stage1.wrapped-nand, md0.backup, uboot.img, stage1.backup etc files that all look functionally equivalent, but only one of them or maybe even none of them is the proper image I need. Or maybe I do have a usable image, but with a different name.
That was what I was meaning with that I am an old school programmer. ( When I started MS DOS did not exist, Turbo Pascal neither).
Poking around in peripheral registers, manipulating I/O lines to control systems was daily routine. Using hexedit for patches, dowloading code with S1S9 format etc.

Times are different now, but still challenging, even more then they were way back. The challenge for me in hacking and modding these more or less declared obsolete devices is to proove that with some knowledge and tinkering one can still use those devices for even serious things. Or just use it for modest services without scrapping those still technically healthy boxes.

It would be nice to complete this process with success for this KD20 box.
Actually I have no real need for a NAS at home, but when it can be done with this unit, why buy an expensive ¨real¨ NAS box?

That's what we are here for :) I have a lot of fun supporting old plugs that people tend to throw away when that product is EOL. And also we can run the latest kernel so it is as good as a expensive NAS!

The content on the HDD is apparent not good. It was just enough so you can boot to u-boot prompt. Which is OK. And you've figured out how to boot to the Stretch rootfs.

debian login: [ 238.962577] random: nonblocking pool is initialized

At this point, ignore the output of fw_printenv, because it shows the envs from the new u-boot that you have flashed before. Not the one you have on HDD, which you used for booting into Debian in this session.


=======================

3 paths to choose:

1. Find a real stock u-boot backup from someone who has the KD20. Before doing that, you can flash the stage1.wrapped and u-boot.wrapped hoping these are correct stock images.

2. Try to get pass the problem in booting new u-boot as you saw in this post:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,105494,105494#msg-105494

Quote

[ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: ERROR: Failed to allocate 0x2000 bytes below 0x0.

3. Continue using the HDD for everything. Meaning the current rootfs on this HDD. Right now it is Stretch, but you can upgrade it to the latest Buster.

To do this, we need to boot from the uImage on the HDD, not from tftp. And a few envs changes are needed to do that.

And then later, the envs in the HDD needed to be updated to make it automatically executed and boot the kernel uImage from HDD, and the rootfs from HDD.

=======================

For number 1. I need you to show the listing of the sizes of these 2 images so I can confirm:

ls -larth stage1.wrapped
ls -larth  u-boot.wrapped

When you flash the images and use -p, you would have to do it a little bit differently from what I showed in installing new u-boot (with the new u-boot images, I already round them up to 128k blocks so no padding is needed).

/usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x0 6
/usr/sbin/nandwrite -p /dev/mtd0 stage1.wrapped

At this point, erase again, 4 blocks starting at 0x40000 (262144 decimal).

/usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0x40000 4

and then flash

nandwrite -p -s 262144 /dev/mtd0 u-boot.wrapped

Bodhi,

I have used this archive: https://www.dropbox.com/s/82t5pfnybvacr3b/KD20_sata_boot.tar.gz?dl=0
from this thread: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,17649,page=4
In this archive there is a only one folder: oxnas_sata_boot.
In that folder are 3 files:

disk_create
stage1.wrapped
u-boot.wrapped

sizes:

ls -larth *.wrapped:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 john john 8,1K jan 21  2015 stage1.wrapped
-rwxr--r-- 1 john john 151K jan 24  2015 u-boot.wrapped

or

ls -l *.wrapped
-rwxr-xr-x 1 john john   8224 jan 21  2015 stage1.wrapped
-rwxr--r-- 1 john john 153984 jan 24  2015 u-boot.wrapped

If I flash those files with a tftp booted Debian Stretch according to your description I have nothing on the TTY when booting without disk. So that is not working.

One peculiar thing I noticed. Using the command tftpboot first try it downloaded the uImage to 0x6000000.
I entered bootm 0x6050000 and got a ¨bad magic number¨. Only then I noticed the actual load address value.
So I used bootm 0x6000000. Debian booted and I flashed both images.
Result: No life on TTY, so again sata boot, u-boot prompt, tftpboot.
But the 2nd try exactly the same tftpboot command loads the uImage at 0x06500000.
As expected that made no difference.
But when system responses are different with the same commands I get suspicious. Especially when computers are involved;)

So that leaves only option 2 and 3 left. I assume I do not have the correct stage1 and u-boot.wrapped files.

Option 2 seemed challenging, but why not. However when I tried to recreate the situation that started all this mess: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,105494,105494#msg-105494

I found out I could not recreate this situation anymore.

The result of flashing the PogoPro u-boot, tried it a few times, with and without -p option, does not provide a usable U-boot console prompt anymore.
Only the inital U-boot banner screen:

U-Boot SPL 2013.10-tld-4 (Sep 07 2014 - 14:10:12)

Then it stops and does not respond to anything.

So that leaves only option 3:

I have no idea how to tackle this now, besides just trial and error. I am really lost in the boot process sequences, spl´s variables, chain loaders, images etc. I have read many hours and much information is ambiguous, even incorrect, different references are used for the same or different names. Command that have bugs show errors, but you must know that and ignore it, or output is generated showing variables that are not the ones you think what they are. Different u-boot´s need different syntax etc.

It need not be easy, but the effort needed to get things running again are growing to a level that trying to distill the right steps out of this heap of chaotic information is becoming almost impossible. Or maybe it is even impossible, because from what I have read about the KD20 there are still a lot of things not known, not fully functional or not possible because nobody has sufficient information of the hardware details and how it is reliably managed using the appropriate drivers etc.

All this is becoming quite frustrating because there is not much progress made until now.

On the other hand it also makes it easy: no options to try out anymore so I have to accept SATA only boot. And your help in finding the correct env setting to get that functional would be very welcome.

OK. Now it is clear. That's not stock u-boot. It is a version specially built to run from HDD. So what's in NAND right now is not usable.

> So that leaves only option 3:

> there is not much progress made until now.

Sorry you've picked this box to play with! the OXNAS box is not an ideal box to start learning embedded Linux ARM. Not very friendly, becasue of all the idiosyncracies come with it. I've been supporting the Pogo V3 Pro mainly, and don't pay much attention about its cousisns such as this KD20 box.

If you had one of the Kirkwood boxes, then I am sure in no time, you will understand the boot process and how the envs work. I have been supporting Kirkwood boxes for quite a while, so we know most everything about them (no stone unturned).

Debian: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096
U-Boot: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

==============

Ok so I will look at HDD booting envs and make some modification. In the mean time, let's get some info in 1 post so it is easier to work on. Please post the entire serial console log (starting from the u-boot banner.)

While at the u-boot prompt,

printenv

And do the setenv commands that allow you to continue booting.

While log in Debian,

uname -a
e2label /dev/sda1
e2label /dev/sda2
mount
ls -lart /boot

And there are 2 partition on this HDD, the first one is where u-boot and other boot files are. If it is not mounted, then mount the /dev/sda1. Assuming it is mounted at /media/sda1.

ls -laRt /media/sda1

=========

Here is the ARM box boot process description in the Wiki. I summarized it at a high level, but it will be hepful to have a mental image of the process.

Bohdi,

I got to know I did no pick the most easy device. I have a PogoplugPro and that´s running fine, although i still have to resolve the systemd issue in combination with upgrading a fresh Buster install;)

But this complexity is just one of the things that drive me because I am convinced that what I want to do can be done. Although it might not be easy.

Because all the frustrating events filled with unexpected behavior and other explainable things, I tried to analyze what has happened so far. I have logged many TTY sessions, so I could go back to the situation when stock U-Boot was operational.

Then looking more close to what was put on the TTY console: It seems that the box does not detect a SATA (or other) drive at all, however it is using images that can only be found on the disk: stage1.wrapper and u-boot.wrapper

When no bootable drive is installed I get the initial messages from (PogoPro) U-boot SPL:

U-Boot SPL 2013.10-tld-4 (Sep 07 2014 - 14:10:12)

And this one tries to set PLLA to 850Mhz.
and then the U-Boot version follows:

U-Boot 2015.10-tld-2 (Oct 21 2017 - 22:00:02 -0700)
OXNAS OX820

This process stops after showing:

NAND:

When I install a disk configured for direct sata booting I get the same initial messages, but instead of stalling after the

NAND:

message the boot sequence continues with:

Stage-1 Bootloader 2015-01.21-21:48:56

I do not know what is meant with the default environment, but it can only come from the stage1.wrapped and u-boot.wrapped images I had written to the sata disk.

This U-Boot code does not detect a disk, it times out, request for an IP address and receives one and with this environment tftpbooting is possible when some envs are modified.

I don´t know if the initial PLLA setting from U-Boot SPL 2013.10-tld-4 (Sep 07 2014 - 14:10:12) of 850Mhz is to high or not.

The stock U-Boot image runs at 750Mhz. I do not know the influence of higher speed, but it might explain some of the unexpected events. (tftp sometimes runs fluently, sometimes not)

When a disk is inserted the boot sequence seems to be diverted to booting from disk with the modified Shuttle stage1.wrapper and u-boot.wrapper. The PLLA speed is set to 800Mhz and things seem to run OK. Although nothing is shown about detecting a disk or not.
Maybe there are U-boot command available for that, it seems so, but I have not found the correct syntax for it.

After having found out that not all things were what I thought they were I re-created the direct sata boot disk.

Initially I had a sata boot disk with a FAT ¨BOOT¨ partition populated with an u-boot.img and an u-boot.env.
I do not remember it, but my logs show no evidence that, these images and environment have ever been actually used when booting from sata.

Although many things did not work out well, most of the time I still could boot using tftp with some additional changing of envs.

The new sata boot disk I created has only one 6G ext3 formatted partition labeled ¨rootfs¨. So no more /dev/sda2...

And I wrote the magic code, the modified KD20 stage1.wrapped and u-boot.wrapped to the disk in the area before that first partition.
The rootfs (/dev/sda1) is occupied with a Debian Strech 4.4.54 version with a KD20 DTB appended to the uImage file in /boot.

When the system is booted I get a U-boot prompt that does not recognize a disk and tries to ftpboot.

However I cannot permanently modify the U-boot environments but can modify them before every tftpboot.
I have to set the correct serverip and due to the altered sataboot disk (rootfs is now on /dev/sda1, not on /dev/sda2 anymore) I have to modify the kernel arguments.
After that I can tftpboot into Debian stretch.

Your questions: with some of the envs already modified to be able to tftpboot

I have no idea if this message means anything, but maybe the need for a hard reset of ata1 has somthing to to with not being able to detect the sata disk initially and use it to boot from?
On the other hand, the correct type of sata disk is already detected earlier in the boot process?

When you boot with HDD, the envs image is on the HDD, where u-boot image is. And it was not found, so u-boot uses a set of default envs defined internally. This is called the default envs. The default envs are used whenever the envs cannot be founded in its expected location, or were corrupted.

Now at this point the default envs are not good enough for booting (it keeps looking for the root device at /dev/sda2).

What should be done is: interrupt serial console at count down, and adjust the envs.

It could be. As I mentoined to some users before, I probably need to rebuild the SPL to 750 MHz to see if it will play well with this box. The Pogo V3 can be run with all speeds from 700-850 Mhz.

It does not have to show disk detected. The BootROM has detected the SATA drive present, it skipped finding all other devices, and proceeded to load SPL from the SATA drive. When u-boot started running, the SATA drive was already initialized, so it does not need to bring it up.

Yes they were. That's the only way the SPL and u-boot can be run at this moment (because the boot mode is direct SATA).

Because they are on the HDD, and that env image file was not found.

Very good!

Not that reason. As I described above, it was detected OK during boot.

This box has a little bit problem with the SATA driver. So sometime we see the ATA hard reset like that. But as long as the boot probess completed, and Debian is running then it is OK.

======

OK. I forgot to ask you to list the root directory (because I thought you used 2 partitions). So the info is not complete. I need to confirm that u-boot and its envs are on /, and what else is on the same location. This is where the BootROM find u-boot.

in my pursuit to get my fingers behind all this fuzziness I managed to compile the U-boot sources without to many difficulties.

I had an old thinkpad with ubuntu 14.04 where gcc version 4 was available. So I installed gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi.
ran:

git clone https://github.com/kref/u-boot-oxnas

And created a 750 MHZ u-boot.img with:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ox820_fat_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j4 all u-boot.img

I did not check if that image was functional because ¨crosser¨ indicated here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16469,16471
that he only used it for the SPL and that the U-boot had no network.
But he could use it to restore his mtd0 backup. I have none....

But because I am able to compile a u-boot myself I though maybe I could modify the 2015.10 U-Boot in a way that at least the clock frequency is set to 750MHZ and then try to figure out other modifications when needed.
So I ran:

git clone https://github.com/mibodhi/u-boot-oxnas.git

and tried to repeat the procedure.

I encountered some problems, but they look solvable....

There is a difference between the newer 2015.10 U-boot configuration information and the kref u-boot version.

So I figured out the way to set the compiler and make configuration option for this newer U-boot version:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- ox820_defconfig

and I used this command to produce a u-boot.bin.

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j4 u-boot.img

I was not able to create an SPL image.
When I added ¨all¨ to the command line:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j4 all u-boot.img

an error was thrown after the u-boot.bin was created:

make[1]:**There is no rule to create target ¨checkarmloc¨, needed for ¨all¨. Aborted.

I have not yet found this ¨checkarmloc¨ declaration or whatever it is. Maybe you have an idea where to look and what do do about it?

On the other hand, I understand that I need the 2013 U-boot version to create a SATA SPL, so the previous has produced a 750MHz u-boot and I will try to use the 2013 version for the SPL, or maybe the kref u-boot version is also OK and I can build one that is configured to boot from ext4.

When I can create a working system with just changing some env of the current KD20 setup that´s OK as well. However when I am able to compile my own modified U-boot I have no problem to invest some more time to try to build a standard scenario how to mod a KD20 to have it run Debian without digging for hours on fora. Although I have learned a lot from all this until now it is not something for the faint-hearted.

If you would be willing to assist me with this where you can that would be very welcome!

Is there a reason why you did not use the original disk_create.sh ?

Everything is relative of what one uses as a reference.

I used the images from the archive KD20_sata_boot.tar.gz with the u-boot configured for the KD20.
In this archive is also a disk_create file. Not disk_create.sh, but that´s just a name.

So in my perception I used the ¨original¨ disk_create script.

The difference between both scripts is:

The script I used writes stage1.wrapped (SPL?) and a u-boot.wrapped image to the disk.
There was no kernel file in the archive, so none was written to the disk.

Now I think about this, maybe I should also have written the uImage to /dev/sd1 that I had built myself for the KD20 with its DTB attached. I have tried this later once, but it made no difference in the booting process if I remember this well, but maybe I should check this out again to verify this.

Or else use ¨your¨ original script that only writes the stage1.wrapped file, but that seems a bit incomplete to me. But trying does not hurt.

That's WarheadsSE's script when we started hacking the Pogo V3 box. So that is the original script.

The reason I would prefer that script is that you can see u-boot image and the envs images as regular files. Same as you're done it for the Pogo V3.

And then once we modifed the envs to boot this box, we will need to retrofit the new envs into the envs image. These files are from your Pogo V3 session.

ls -l /home/rescue/boot

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   16384 jan  1  1970 u-boot.env

See if you can use the files from Pogo V3 tarball.

If you can boot with serial console, adjust envs, and boot into the HDD rootfs, then you can make the envs permanent.

Do a backup,

cd -a u-boot.env u-boot.env.orig
cd -a u-boot.env u-boot.env.txt

Edit the u-boot.env.txt (strip off its header in nano), modify it to add/modify envs, and then repack it as u-boot image.

nano u-boot.env.txt
mkenvimage -s 131072 -o u-boot.env boot.env.txt

And then reboot.

dd if=./u-boot-spl.bin    of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=34

to replace de existing spl image to the disk. (replaced stage1.wrapper with u-boot-spl.bin)

I did not modify the existing rootfs because all the files needed were already present in the proper location.

Exept the following files that I added to the /rootfs/boot directory of the sata drive:

u-boot.env
u-boot.img
u-boot-spl.bin (why this file is needed I do not know, it is already written on the disk before the /dev/sdx1 partition as far as I understand it all and is only used once during the initial boot process?)

A uImage an uInitrd with KD20DTB embedded were already present in the /rootfs/boot directory. To be sure I checked this again.

Booting this drive did not provide a console I could use:

The first message comes from the u-boot-spl.bin code that cannot find the file /boot/bootargs.bin.

I am a quite surprised that this file is nowhere to be foud in the Pogo V3 tarball as well.
However it finds the /boot/u-boot.img file en executes it.

Then a little success: the sata disk is recognized correctly.
Unfortunately the system information used is incorrect, only 128MB RAM instead of 256MB. Who knows what other information will be incorrect as well?

NAND content is bad, so default env used,

Then it switches to netconsole. I never got netconsole to work on my ubuntu box and because I have a TTY console there was never a need for that. I am not inclined to waste more time to try that again because I do not think that the KD20 box has a reachable IP address with the current environment setting used.
Besides that I have have learned that many messages written to screens and consoles are not very accurate or even plain false.

A slightly different output is produced when feeding the TTY console with input from hitting some keyboard keys during the boot process:

Then I get a: ¨Hit any key¨ message. That´s all. After that no response anymore.

Then I edited the u-boot.env file

Mind: cd is a typo I guess, should be cp

Editing a file that contains partially binary info with nano seems to work, but it did not alter the console response in any way.
What I see in nano is some binary characters preceding one single long line with ascii strings that is ending with many more binary characters.
I deleted the preceding binary characters and changed various envs: modified the DTB file to the proper one, changes Memory value from 128 to 256 changed nc output to serial. Adjusted /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1 etc, anyway I tried various modifications I though would be more appropriate for this box and this configuration, but nothing changed on the console output.
So I assume the u-boot.env file is not used at all for some reason.
One small positive result might be that a 850Mhz PLLA setting does not seem to hamper the following part of the failing boot process.

Yes. That's correct. It was the SPL file written to the unused disk sector. It is not needed to be present.

That would be expected, it seems shv compiled this u-boot in a differently way (I am guessing). u-boot.img is the predefined name in the original OXNAS u-boot sourceso it works in all OXNAS boxes.

Yes, the Pogo V3 has only 128MB.

It is OK.

Right, ignore netconsole. This old version do not have a good netconsole.

That was because netconsole is activated.

This env file seems to be ignored because this u-boot was not built properly.

OK. So to avoid trying to reinvent some wheel here. What we should do is to go back to booting this KD20 from the HDD. Using your tarball.

- And then trying to set envs in serial console, and save them in serial console. It might work.

The worst case is you have to recreate the HDD (if the saveenv messes up the disk). So make sure this HDD is a test HDD (nothing worth saving).

Boot up the box after you recreate the KD20 files as before:

That is the problem I already ran into earlier. I am able to modify the envs that are used by the KD20 uboot. You can see those in the end of the strings dump from that u-boot: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,105494,105594#msg-105594
Using the:

saveenv

command this message is shown on the console:

Saving Environment to Disk...

and using

printenv

then shows the modified envs (e.g. serverip) properly.

However after a reset command still the old envs are used. I assume because the location where it is written to is not found or is not valid or maybe it is not written anywhere at all;).

I can only run a clean tftpboot when I have modified some of the envs. Then the box boots and the Debian version runs without any problem.

Maybe it is possible to modify some more of the other envs in such a way that I am able to use an other boot sequence instead of the tftpboot. E.g. a disk, I have both Sata and USB with a working /rootfs on it

U-Boot 2013.10-g3a0f380-dirty (Jul 26 2014 - 10:18:57) for OXNAS

This looks like this u-boot image was built from my GitHub. But it was most definitely forked and modified.

However after a reset command still the old envs are used. I assume because the location where it is written to is not found or is not valid or maybe it is not written anywhere at all;).

It probably did not write to disk at all.

=====

So the recap:

- Using my Pogo V3 U-Boot 2015.10-tld-2 on NAND, you cannot boot because of the memory location map seems wrong.
- Using HDD built by shv for Pogo V3, you can not boot far either.
- Using this KD20 built HDD u-boot, you cannot save envs.


================

So the last resorts:

1. Try to fit your rootfs to the way the current KD20 u-boot envs to allow booting without changing envs.

Is the above the correct printout for the envs at serial console when you boot with HDD?

2. Figure out the memory problem with running U-Boot 2015.10-tld-2

Let see if we can take one issue at the time. So for now just concentrate on 1. I think this memory problem could be firgured out if I have sometime to spend looking at the source code again. I will not have a lot of free time in the next 2, 3 weeks.

Bodhi,

I finally found a way to revert to stock u-boot.
It took me quite some time to figure out the steps and most of all: to verify as much as possible to prevent messing up things more then they already were.

The biggest hurdle was that I could not find anything about images being encoded (some seem to call it wrapped) to be able to use error correcting features of NAND memory or to be better protected against bit errors in the image due to failing bits in NAND.
By accident I found in some older uboot source the code for this encoding, that was actually quite simple. Every bit is written out as 0x55 and every zero 0xAA. I found out that the Pogo uboot stage1 is also encoded like that.
However I still could not verify that the encoded images I had for stage1 and the uboot (the kd20 u-boot is also encoded) were actually images I could use. So I wrote an image decode program to revert the coding so I could see that these images were actually images built to be used in a Shuttle kd20.

Another problem could have been flashing to the wrong area of the NAND.
To solve that problem I used the kernel and Initrd images that I also had in the KD20.zip archive.
I used them to boot the kd20 via tftp and I got a working kernel and could mount a disk.
From there I could flash the images with ¨native¨ Shuttle kd20 nand tools. That solved the non functional u-boot problem.

All can be explained in a few minutes, but it took me many hours to figure it all out.
I had to revive my programming skills and had to adapt to the differences between C an Python, but that was not to difficult.
And I have learned a lot about the U-boot mechanism. Unfortunately it is not as modular and generic as I thought this mechanism was before I started with all this.
I had the idea it would be similar to replacing the Pogoplug stock u-boot with the newer one with more functionality, so booting options would be more flexible.

So now I am back to square one.

I have a KD20 wit stock u-boot and would like to be able to have it boot automatically from either a USB disk or a SATA disk. Similar as what is possible with a pogoplug.
A less desired option would be to have it only boot from a SATA disk using it´s own Stage1 and Uboot, however I have already found out that booting from sata is not the problem, but I am not able to save the modified environment to have it boot automatically.

From both options you suggested option 1 would be fine if it will enable automatic booting of a USB or SATA disk. The flexibility to auto-detect whether the USB or STA disk should be used would be nice but is not a requirement. If I have to make changes manually in the u-boot environment to switch between the disk type to boot from that´s is something I can live with.

these are the stock envs of the kd20:

Congrats! go back to stock u-boot on this box would give you a lot of room.

So now we can create a new set of envs to boot the box, and save them. Let me see I post some example, and you can retrofit it (you have more fun that way).

hacksome,

The example to boot Kirkwood boxes with USB rootfs, this is generic enough that it will be applicable to any u-boot.

setenv usb_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 earlyprintk=serial'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv usb_boot 'run load_uimage; if run load_uinitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x2100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi'
setenv usb_bootcmd 'run usb_set_bootargs; run usb_boot'
setenv bootcmd 'usb start; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; reset'
boot

You need to replace the load addresses of uImage and uInitrd with ones for this OXNAS box (use the Pogo V3 envs as a guide).

Pogo V3:

load_initrd=echo loading uInitrd ...; ext2load $bootdev $device 0x60e00000 /boot/uInitrd
load_uimage=echo loading uImage ...; ext2load $bootdev $device 0x60500000 /boot/uImage

Note that you are booting with stock u-boot, so the uInitrd load address might need to be further such as 0x60f00000 (I forgot what was the exact address, I have posted it somewhere in this forum).

As long as you don't do saveenv, nothing is sticky, mistakes are OK. Once you booted into Debian successfully, you can come back to serial console and save them.

Bodhi,

SATA boot is working!
I did find the env changes to boot from a standard SATA disk automatically!

The disk of course must be properly populated with a rootfs configured for this box. But that´s not difficult to do. I used Debian Stretch. (4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1) this time. But using Debian Buster instead should be similar I guess.

These are the environment changes I made:

setenv sata_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda1 initrd=0x61000000 console=ttyS0,115200 elevator=cfq mem=256M poweroutage=yes'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load ide 0:1 0x60500000 /boot/uImage'
setenv load_uinitrd 'ext2load ide 0:1 0x61000000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv sata_boot 'run load_uimage; if run load_uinitrd; then bootm 0x60500000 0x61000000; else bootm 0x60500000; fi'
setenv sata_bootcmd 'run sata_set_bootargs; run sata_boot'
setenv bootcmd 'run sata_bootcmd boot || bootcmd=run beep select0 load loadr sysled boot || run errled select2 load3 loadr3 ramboot boot'

using the phrase

root=LABEL=rootfs

instead of

root=/dev/sda1

in the bootargs environment did not work. Probably this u-boot is not capable to use the declared LABEL variable.

The other env modifications were derived from your examples and adapted for proper load addresses.

To have the box automatically boot from the SATA disk I added the

run sata_bootcmd boot ||

to the default bootcmd declaration , so its first action now is to try to boot from the SATA disk.

About booting from USB: I could not figure out how the have the USB drive initialized properly from within the u-boot console, so I focused on the SATA Boot. However it would be nice if booting from USB could be added as well. Maybe you know some u-boot commands that I can try to find out how to initialize a USB drive by using u-boot commands.
When that is functioning I guess booting from it should not be to difficult.

That because of uInitrd. If you don't load uInitrd, then you cannot use label. And the bootargs must be root=LABEL=rootfs. And the rootfs partition must be labeled as rootfs.

U-Boot does have anything to do with the root device. It passes the the bootargs to the kernel, whatever you have in the env, it treats it as a string. Once the the kernel has comlete booting, it will use the bootargs to find the rootfs and mount it. At this time the root=LABEL=rootfs bootarg is used by the kernel to tell initrd where the root device is (see bottom of this post).

Plug in a USB thumb drive, and at serial console prompt,

usb reset
ext2ls usb 0:1 /

If you can see the USB drive top directory listing from these commands, then it is OK to use USB rootfs. And that is my example above for:

setenv usb_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 earlyprintk=serial'

I've mentioned before about the ARM boot process description in the Wiki (I need to add more details and change the topic name to make it apparent):

The booting process has 2 phases:

1. Boot loader:

- Power up, bootROM is running, u-boot image is loaded and run.
- u-boot uses the envs to find uImage and uInitrd.
- u-boot loads uImage and uInitrd from partition that has /boot folder, and start kernel. If multiple drives exist, only one drive and partition should have /boot.

2. Kernel

- Kernel starts using bootargs.
- Kernel search for rootfs to mount. This is when root device with label or UUID is used. If none specified, drive letter is used (e.g. /dev/sda1). If multiple drives exist, rootfs label or UUID will pinpoint to the exact rootfs partition.
