Installing U boot and Debian on ix2-ng

Dear Bodhi,

I am trying to upgrade my NAS to new U boot and Debian Linux. I am not that great wizzkid with linux, but i know basic how to work with it.

I got UART working soo i can login by console, but from here i got a little stuck.

I download Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 but i don't get this working.

I also downloaded your linux tools linux-tools-installation-bodhi.tar.gz but i dont get them in /bin

Could you help me out here?

Do i have the right files?

I dont see ext2ls and ext2load soo i don't get it working.

Thanks already in advanced for all the help.


Best regards

killerdude77,

You only need to post it once, creating this new thread is good. I'll remove the other posts.

Dear Bodhi

I hope you still busy with this project. It is already 4 years ago that there was a last post.

I have the ix2-ng NAS and also want to install Debian on it. At this moment i have UART connection to console in U boot.
From here i got stuck, can you help me out with a list of the right files i need to get this done?

I also want to upgrade U boot but i dont get this working. I also miss the command files 'ext2ls' and 'ext2load' .

I downloaded your packet linux-tools-installation-bodhi.tar.gz but doesn't get this in /bin

You would help me a lot if i get this working on my NAS.

At this moment the NAS runs the last lifeline packet ix2-ng-4.1.408.34845.tgz

Thanks for all the help in advanced.

Best regards


Dear Bodhi,

I have an ix2-ng NAS and want to install new U boot and Debian. But i am a little bit stuck at UART serial U boot login.
All is working fine to connect to the NAS but i can't get U boot and Deabin installed.

At this moment the NAS is running ix2-ng-4.1.408.34845.tgz lifeline software from Lenovo.

I also downloaded your linux tools linux-tools-installation-bodhi.tar.gz but i dont get those installed in /bin

Because of this ext2ls and ext2load are not working.

Could you help me out which U boot i need and which kirkwood TLD i need.

I have Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 but doesn't get this working.

Could you help me out here?

Thanks in advacnced..

sorry Bodhi,

i got the message 'Sorry, you can't reply to this topic. It has been closed.'

Didn't know it post them. That is why i make new post.

This is the post you need to read:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,70294,70794#msg-70794

In the tutorial jdwl101 was using 4.18.4-kirkwood-tld-1 at that time. But you can use Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the release thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

I would do Part I to boot with USB rootfs first. This give you a working system.

Once it is working, then think about installing on the HDD (Part II).

Dear Bodhi.

After fixing everything and prepared the USB stick to work i don't get the USB booting.

After login in console via serial, i want to set env with setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'

setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'
-sh: setenv: command not found
root@ix2:/# setenv
-sh: setenv: command not found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

Soo apt-get install u-boot-tools doesn't work.


Thanks for the advise.

I also see some errors coming up with starting U boot. Here is the log.

Also if i made the USB stick with the folowing commands.

cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig

sync


after this it looks like the USB stick is empty, is this right?

killerdude77,

setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'
-sh: setenv: command not found

These setenv commands are to be executed at u-boot prompt in serial console (not in Linux).

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

Interrupt u-boot countdown when you see the countdown as above. And then enter the setenv commands.

cd /media/sdb1/boot 
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt 
cat dts/kirkwood-lenovo-ix2-ng.dtb >> zImage.fdt 
mv uImage uImage.orig 
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage 
sync

In the command above, you need to replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb with the DTB file name for this box.

Thanks bodhi for the help.

I already found out to get in U boot by skiping autoboot.

After that is set al the setenv commands.

But it wont boot.

i dont understand why he wont boot from usb, in my exeption everything is right now..

Hope you have the solution. Thanks again.

Interrupt u-boot countdown when you see the countdown as above. And then enter the setenv commands.


cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-lenovo-ix2-ng.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync

In the command above, you need to replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb with the DTB file name for this box.

Yeah i did used the right dtb file i copied the commands i used, forgetting to set kirkwood-lenovo-ix2-ng.dtb BUT i did used this ng version.

Also i removed all the drives to be sure it will boot from USB stick.

At this point, you would do either

run usbboot

or

setenv bootcmd 'run usbboot'
boot

And remember, don't save the envs. Just keep running with setenv commands temporarily like this until it works. At that point, you can then try booting with HDD rootfs if you like to do so.

Bad Magic Number

I dont know what Bad Magic Number is but i don't understand why it is unable to read /boot/

can i do a sort of ls to scan if usb is accessable?

killerdude77,

How did you format the USB drive? with Ext2, Ext3, or Ext4?

> I dont know what Bad Magic Number is

It is a stock u-boot fallback booting when it cannot read the USB drive. So the error is irrelevant.

Do

usb reset
ext2ls usb 0:1 /boot

I made a USB with 1 partition with fdisk. I made it dos with ext3and marked it bootable and labeled it rootfs.

after that i made the images with the tutorial mentioned at your post for using your debian 5.2.9 rootfs tarball.

I use a 32GB USB stick is that OK?


I will remake the USB stick again maybe it is that.

> I use a 32GB USB stick is that OK?

If it is the Sandisk Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 then it will be problematic.

All Sandisk USB are very reliable for booting, except that the Ultra Fit 32GB is not good for booting.

I use a ICIDU 32GB USB stick.

I also got some other USB sticks to test if needed.

Is a 8GB USB enough then i can make another USB stick.


On fdisk i use the command D,D till it is complete clean, then make primary partition
After that i use O for label it DOS.
After that i use A to make is bootable
Then i use W to write to USB.

After that i do mkfs.ext3 to format in ext3, then i use e2label to label it rootfs.

after that i made the images...

is tis all right to do?

And also before the whole process is use sudo su...

killerdude77,

Not sudo.

su -

and then

whoami

If it is root, then go ahead and extract the rootfs tarball.

8GB is plenty for now.

After that i use O for label it DOS.

That does not sound right. O is to erase.

Bodhi,

I made 2 different USB sticks, 1 of 4GB and the 32GB i used.before.

i did all of this on my raspi pi with fdisk with the same instructions as mention on both sticks.

labeled them rootfs, made the images twice for every usb stick and still get the same error

if i try to read the disk with the command i get this also on both usb sticks.

Bodhi,

I will now take the 4GB USB and do the whole process again with su - now

Also on fdisk i used the "o" (lowercase) for the dos option.

i let your hear if it will work

Bodhi,


After a whole night of trying out en testing and testing again and again it is finally done.

The NAS is booting from the USB and debian is running now.

I think i made the mistake to use the disk part (/dev/sda) in stead of the partition (/dev/sda1)

After i made a new USb with this it finally started.

Thanks for all the help and time.


Now i want to add my drives to it, can i still use them total space of 4TB? (raid0 instead of 2TB in raid1)

And can i now update the U boot or do i first need to install the drives?


cheers from this side of the planet.

Bodhi.


can you tell me what U boot i need for my ix2-ng?

Not in the near future. Perhaps in a few months (July-August time frame). I might have time to work on it, if you and somebody will have posted link to the GPL source before then.
