Look at Davygravy NSA320 thread for newer uBoot. Stock uBoot does not have netconsole.

May I suggest we move this to a different working thread for NSA325?

That sounds like a good idea.

I also modified the script from arch linux to setup the uboot paramaters for the nsa325 to boot debian from ide if anyone wants it.

I just tested it on my own after resetting the uboot environment.

Wanted to get your thaughts on this bodhi.

I think the nsa325 has uart booting i tried with the image i dumped from nand nut got nothing like i said before but i just tried with a uboot image for the goflex net and got this:

sudo ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2013.10.goflexnet.mtd0.kwb -p

its alot more output than i got before and the size of the images i tried are this:

Image i dumped:

1081344

goflex net image is:

524288

half the size of what i dumped so maybe i dumped the image wrong?

After my NSA320 failed to start davygravy's package because of a superblock error (was running for a year or so with this config), I just installed tld3. It really works like a charm. Thanks so much for the effort of making this available!
The package also felt a little less finicky than the package posted by davygravy. And the LED activity is great!

yes I would like it please : )

whats the.way you have your partitions setup? what label do you have on root?

currently I have 2 partitions. sda1 is boot and sda2 is rootfs. but really I dont care. I was able to finally get it to boot off ide and it was working from what I could tell. Now Im hoping to get it to boot off usb. im going to prepare an old but fast 8gb usb flash drive here in a bit and see if it will boot off that. didnt really like the external usb hdd (I think spinning up took too long).

~SOL

i will test and see if usb boot works on mine with the script. on your boot partition are the uImage and uInitrd in a directory?

i comented out all the parts that edit partitions and such. so you will need to make sure partitions are correct.

SomeoneOnLine,

Check my post in this thread:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,14351,14474#msg-14474

It should hopefully have the files and instructions you need to get it working from usb
or properly from sata.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/16/2013 05:19PM by Buttzy10169.

Should I expect drive and panel leds to work? on the power button and led just below that are on. power = blue and system status or led just below power is orage and usb is green when I have a usb device plugged in.

~SOL

Please post in this thread

for NSA325 related stuff. We are OT for a while, it's hard to find some posts that burried under on-going working topic such as NSA3xx boxes.

Cool! I'm glad it works well for you.

Anybody tried this kernel on the NSA310?

If they pulled my patches, it should in theory work for that device, but I can't speak to the uboot on the 310.

I can boot this kernel on NSA310, but network is not working. Can you please add R8169 module (CONFIG_R8169=y)?

It does not work in what way? Can you describe it? No IP, or NIC not coming up?.... Does it have anything to do with this 8169 module?

Does 8169 not require firmware to funcfion properly? i know iv seen deaktops complain about missing firmware for 8169 devices???

Hi bodhi,

Do you have kwboot can work under Linux Kernel 3.12.0 Kirkwood ?
I do like to try UART Booting but I only have one PC with WIN7.

If you do can you send me a copy

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

> I do like to try UART Booting but I only have one

I have kwboot binary only for ARM. I'm not sure if there is such a version for x86. Do you have another Kirwood plug that you can run it from? I thought you do have both the Pogo E02 and NSA320?

No network adapter is found. NSA-310 has RealTek 8169 onboard, so it needs R8169 module, which is not in 3.12.0-kirkwood-tld-3.

Yes, I need the kwboot binary only for ARM.
I would like to run kwboot on my E02 then test the uboot on NSA320.

Can you send me the link of kwboot binary only for ARM.


Thanks

Thank you very much for your help.
I run kwboot on E02 then test on NSA320, when I turn on the NSA320, it just pick up the uboot right the way

The correct sequence to boot UART on a target that is quirky, for example Pogo V4 or Mobile:

- connect to the host using SSH.
- execute kwboot command on the host. It will start spining the / character clockwise direction.
- reboot the target (or coldboot). You should see the / character starts spinning in counter clockwise direction (slower speed) when it tries to handshake. Wait a few seconds to see if the handshake works, if not then press control-C to abort. Up arrow to recall command and execute it again.
- whenever you see the error (bad modem message), up arrow to recall the command and run it again. Repeat this as many times as you can (perhaps 20, 30 times). Eventually the handshake will work.

Many thx for your work bodhi.

I'm trying to install the actual image on a Dockstar with a modified flash layout:

bertc3p0,

If you want to boot from USB , then your bootcmd definitely has problem.

If you want to boot from NAND then the rootfs must be in NAND, which is not there right now (your mtd1 name is data).

If this was not the answer you're looking for, please post your output of printenv in serial console and tell us a little more details of what you're trying to do.

Thx bodhi for you fast reply. I've change the NAND layout to use 255MB according to:

The (future) goal is to run completely from NAND with RO filesystem like the description from the thread
mentioned above.

Got it.

Changed

set_bootargs_ubi=setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts init=/sbin/init-ro

to

set_bootargs_ubi=setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts

stupid error - sorry for the noise here

Thank you, I will test new version as soon as it is uploaded.

@bertc3p0,

Glad you've sorted it out!

So I see you've installed Emdebian following Jeff's instruction. And your rootfs is emdebian, but you also updated the kernel with Linux-3.12.0-kirkwood-tld-3 ? how large is your rootfs now? I assume it fits the Dockstar remaining 255MB NAND without problem? did you have to remove any module?
