Lenovo IX2 DL

A copy of mtd1 would also be useful, I've dumped my env partitions and they look corrupted, with a group of envs repeated at the end:

If there is no problem with the uboot partition, try not to move the uboot partition. The root cause is that kwboot does not support IX2 dl

I used to brush and write the defective uboot. I had to remove the NAND chip, weld it on the Linksys ea4500, use kwboot to brush and write the backup uboot, and then weld it. The whole process is too troublesome

J,

> nanddump -a /dev/mtd2

That's not correct. The env partition is mtd1.

mtdparts=mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000@0x000000(u-boot)ro,0x20000@0xA0000(u-boot environment)ro,0x300000@0x100000(kernel),0x1C00000@0x400000(ubi)

Dump mtd1 to a file:

nanddump --noecc --omitoob -f mtd1 /dev/mtd1

J,

The mtd1 looks good to me. The first few bytes are like that (binary, not text). Use hexedit to view this file and it will look normal.

Thanks Bodhi,


I opened it in my hex editor and there's a big section of repeated variables at the end - is that unusual? Can I just delete the duplicated sections and write it back to nand? (if so, how?)

Here's extracts from hex, the repeated 'kernel start' and 'initrd start' stand out.

Don't edit it, it looks fine in hexedit. I did not see any repeat variables at the end. They are all 0's after that last env.

pcieTune1=no

And this is the format for the envs that u-boot tool creates. So the proper way to edit anything in it is: export to a text file, edit, and recreate with mkenvimage.

Thanks Bodhi,

I've tried that, created the envs image and flashed it, on a dump it read back fine - but the IX2 then loaded its default envs on a reboot.

I'm thinking even more that uboot is corrupt. I have a backup mtd0 that's been previously shared here on the forum. Can you advise what the nandwrite command would be to flash it?

Command I used to flash mtd1 was

 nandwrite /dev/mtd1 ix2env.bin 

Ok - now it seems to be booting correctly.

Looks like my cheap usb to serial (CH340) was causing the boot failures - if the serial adapter is connected to the IX2 but not to my PC then uboot freaks out.

Weird!

Please post the boot log for this (u-boot part only)

Suspiciously related to UART booting. Freaks out in what way?

The fan runs at full speed and the serial port has no output
I need to remove the NAND chip and write uboot with kwboot on another board

Hey, if I try to boot with usb connected to the header, but not to my USB port, the unit just sits there - led on but not booting until I connect the usb-serial to my pc and issue a reset in uboot.

Really appears Iomega/lenovo did something daft with the factory uboot, with the problems Luo and I have seen with this box. I think as long as it boots then that's as good as it can be.

It depends what happened when it was not "not booting". It is a catch-22, we don't know where it stops without serial console connected. It could have stopped in the BootROM, before u-boot started. Or it stopped at some point after u-boot started and then when you have serial console connected, all output got printed out, so we don't know for sure where that hang was!!!

So there is one way to find out (hopefully): try kwboot again with the mtd0 backup file. In my experience, this 6282 SoC always has BootROM that supports UART booting, I have not seen one without that capability until this box. For older Kirkwood (i.e. 6281), some BootROM version has problem with UART booting.

Note: kwboot command should use baud rate 12100

I that a typo? I believe baud rate should actually be 115200.

Ray,

Not a typo. Typically Kirkwood boxes used 115200. But this box serial port is configured with 12100. So J should try that.

Not sure why, but it is possible this BootROM version likes the slower rate due to some bugs (that was reflected how the baud rate was defined in stock u-boot/OS ).

Luo has that number posted up thread.

Kwboot cannot detect this box. Kwboot reports an error using other non-standard baud rates

12100 should be the register address.

Thanks Luo,

That’s what I got as well.

Also, the openwrt team have asked that the full 1GiB of nand be used. Can anyone suggest what the nand settings in the dts and the mtdparts in the command line should be to do that?

I’ve tried with 0x3f800000 however the root partition isn’t found at boot.

Quote

bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200";
stdout-path = "/ocp@f1000000/serial@12100";

Ah! so the baud rate is really 115200.

I recall Luo said the exposed serial header is UART1, is that correct? that meant UART0 is hidden.

luo@luo-virtual-machine:~/桌面/kwboot$ ./kwboot -t -b uboot+env.bin -p -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

And this does not get any response and just hang there?

Yeah the exposed header is the uart1.

Mine just stops with no response as well.

OK then UART booting is not support on this box for sure. It must be UART0. Unless you can find UART0 header exposed somewhere on the board and solder the pins.

Hi All,

My ix2-dl now appears to be functioning correctly.

I needed to completely disconnect my TTL-serial adapter, including the leads, from the mainboard to get reliable boots.

If anyone else sees strange behaviour disconnecting from the board is worth a try.

Openwrt files and pre-built images for 19.07 and 21.02 are now available on my GitHub; github link

Huge thanks to Bodhi, Luo and Hippi-viking for needed info.

I'm not going to attempt to upstream again, however anyone is free to take the files from GitHub and send their own pull request to openwrt.

Did you post a link to your GitHub? I did not see one.

That does happen with someboards. Probably the serial lines are noisy so the BootROM keeps waiting for the kwboot header that never comes.

If you are determined to find the real culprit, try replacing the 3 test wires you are probably using, with a shielded cable with the 3 wires inside. One such as the Audio Blaster CD cable, this has 4 wires and a protected sleeve (no magnetic interference to cause noise on the serial header).

Hi Ray,

Thanks for raising, I didn’t have a name on the link so it wasn’t visible.

There are two repositories, the linked one is just the files that need to be updated to build openwrt successfully but I also have a fork of the full wrt source with an ix2-dl branch added.

IX2 DL fan control in Debian system:
apt-get install fancontrol lm-sensors

root@debian:~# pwmconfig
# pwmconfig revision $Revision$ ($Date$)
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

Found the following devices:
   hwmon0 is kirkwood_thermal
   hwmon1/device is adt7473

Found the following PWM controls:
   hwmon1/device/pwm1           current value: 255
   hwmon1/device/pwm2           current value: 255
   hwmon1/device/pwm3           current value: 255

Giving the fans some time to reach full speed...

   hwmon1/device/fan3_input     current speed: 0 ... skipping!
   hwmon1/device/fan4_input     current speed: 0 ... skipping!

Warning!!! This program will stop your fans, one at a time,
for approximately 5 seconds each!!!

  hwmon1/device/fan1_input ... speed was 3559 now 3547
    no correlation

No correlations were detected.
There is either no fan connected to the output of hwmon1/device/pwm3,
or the connected fan has no rpm-signal connected to one of
the tested fan sensors. (Note: not all motherboards have
the pwm outputs connected to the fan connectors,
check out the hardware database on http://www.almico.com/forumindex.php)

Did you see/hear a fan stopping during the above test (n)? 

Testing is complete.
Please verify that all fans have returned to their normal speed.

The fancontrol script can automatically respond to temperature changes
of your system by changing fanspeeds.
Do you want to set up its configuration file now (y)? 
What should be the path to your fancontrol config file (/etc/fancontrol)? 
Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ...

Select fan output to configure, or other action:
1) hwmon1/device/pwm1
2) Change INTERVAL
3) Just quit
4) Save and quit
5) Show configuration
select (1-n): 1

Devices:
hwmon0 is kirkwood_thermal
hwmon1/device is adt7473

Current temperature readings are as follows:
hwmon0/temp1_input      46
hwmon1/device/temp1_input       36
hwmon1/device/temp2_input       33
hwmon1/device/temp3_input       31

Select a temperature sensor as source for hwmon1/device/pwm1:
1) hwmon0/temp1_input
2) hwmon1/device/temp1_input
3) hwmon1/device/temp2_input
4) hwmon1/device/temp3_input
5) None (Do not affect this PWM output)
select (1-n): 1

Enter the low temperature (degree C)
below which the fan should spin at minimum speed (20): 40

Enter the high temperature (degree C)
over which the fan should spin at maximum speed (60): 

Enter the PWM value (0-255) to use when the temperature
is over the high temperature limit (255): 


Select fan output to configure, or other action:
1) hwmon1/device/pwm1
2) Change INTERVAL
3) Just quit
4) Save and quit
