oxnas(OX820)/Medion from openWRT to debian

Hi,
I have set up openWRT on my oxnas according to these instructions. Serial connection is available.
Unfortunately the Samba performance is very bad (~10MB/s).

Now I would like to try Debian.
Due to lack of Linux experience/English knowledge I would need a little support. Which of the instructions in the forum can I use to get from openWRT to debian?

uBoot:
I would like to update the uBoot for easy USB boot.
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017 <-- This is the right one for me? If I understand correctly the uBoot is replaced in the NAND. Is this the base system I can abort on boot?

will the entries be replaced or supplemented?

root@ChrisNAS:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config change no Problem
/dev/mtd2 0x0 0x20000 0x20000 1
root@ChrisNAS:~# cat /proc/mtd could not write with nano

mtd3: 009c0000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd4: 07200000 00020000 "ubi"

Debian:
How is Debian installed. USB stick or can that also be in the NAND like openWRT?
Debian: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044 <-- am I in the right place?

Can someone explain me roughly step by step how to get from openWRT to Debian?

Thanks a lot
Chris

Those are correct links to install new u-boot and Debian.

When you install new u-boot, it should be considered a new installation and you will no longer be able to boot OpenWrt. Later, you can go further and update the envs to dual boot Debian and OpenWrt. But that's not a sure thing. Assuming you will wipe out OpenWrt.

The Debian rootfs should be created on USB drive. It is not possible to run Debian on NAND flash (the flash storage is too small).

With all that said, the new u-boot was created for the Pogo V3 boxes. So there is a small chance that it will not work for this Medion box. The Debian rootfs has been installed by other users, and it was shown to work OK with this Medion box. But I did not have a report that this new u-boot was working without problem for Medion box. So keep that in mind.

thanks for your answer.

Is the way:
1. Install new UBoot in NAND
2. Install openWRT again in NAND
3. Install debian on USB

Can I do first Step (1.png) in the existing openWRT?

"1. Backup your current uImage and uInitrd and other kernel files. In the /boot directory"
on openWRT there is no /boot directory (2.png)

Not really.

1. Install debian on USB
2. Install new UBoot in NAND
3. After Debian is running on USB rootfs, check out everything is OK.
4. Install openWRT again in NAND.

That's the cleanest way to do it. After you are running Debian, install openWRT again in NAND using this insruction:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,132635

=====

There is another appraoch: I might be able to help you booting Debian with the currently installed OpenWrt u-boot in your box. If you'd like to try this approach:


1. Create the Debian rootfs on USB using Debian-4.14.180-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.
2. Plug this new rootfs in the USB port.
3. Power up, interrupt serial console at countdown,and

printenv
usb start
help

And post the entire serial console log here (copy/paste what on your serial console terminal). Don't post pictures, I need the text log.

debian USB stick I have done. uImage is with ox820-stg212.dtb.
"USB Start" boot does not work. I do not know how to boot from the stick.

Ok, looks like you'll have to install new u-boot and Debian first. Do it only if you are absolutely want to run Debian, and don't mind if it does not work then you have to run the HDD rescue.

My home server and my raspi both have Debian. That's why I prefer it to openWRT anyway.
I will create a rescue disk. The internal SATA is empty anyway.

Do you think there is a speed advantage in samba transfer (win11 <-> oxnas) if debian is installed on the disk?

u-Boot installation can I do from openWRT?

Tonight tasks ;)
- rescue disk
- u-boot

Thanks a lot for the support

rescue disk I have created.
I can get into the U-Boot of the disk, but not into debian.
I put ox820-stg212.dtb in the dtb folder and rename it to ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb

U-Boot I tried a few things.
I just do not know how to flash the U-Boot without being able to boot debian first.

I also tested archlinux but is the same:
in the log it always reports that it does not find /dev/sdx although USB storage is detected.

i tested /dev/sdX but openWRT say my stick is sda1

When I try to upgrade U-Boot over openWRT I can't change

cat /proc/mtd

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00e00000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 07200000 00020000 "data"

/dev/sdx meaning it could be /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1,.... x here is a shorthand to say: whatever the drive letter is, replace x with that.

> with "nano /proc/mtd"

/proc/mtd is the list of mtds that the kernel determines during boot. You can not change it.

Your HDD rootfs preparation probably was not done correctly. Is it on the 2nd partition of the HDD?

Also, when you boot with the rescue HDD, unplug all USB drives before booting.

My guess is that it did not mount USB as /dev/sd. With X I meant I tried everything sda,sda1,....
rootfs from the hddrescue is on sda1. I have changed bootargs.

dtb_file env was not set correctly.

Power up, interrupt serial console countdown, and

setenv dtb_file /boot/dts/ox820-stg212.dtb

ok. i could have noticed that ;) Thanks now also runs Debian :)

Most of it is done.
New U-Boot 2015 [check]
Debain running [check]
openWRT installed [check]

U-Boot now automatically loads openWRT (NAND) again.
I think by this input:

setenv bootcmd 'nboot 60500000 0 440000; bootm'
saveenv

How do I get the U-Boot to automatically boot from USB when a USB stick is inserted otherwise NAND?

I'm also thinking if it makes sense to install everything on HDD (sda1 rootfs,sda2 swap,sda3 data). Do you think this has an influence on the SAMBA speed?

Some kind of boot menu in U-Boot like GRUB would be good :)

My workaround to come back to USB Boot:

setenv bootcmd run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; reset

but this start instant. How i can save it with saveenv?

To dual boot Debian and OpenWrt.

setenv bootcmd_openwrt  'nboot 60500000 0 440000; bootm'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec;  run bootcmd_openwrt; reset'

After testing both ways of booting, save the envs

setenv bootcmd_openwrt  'nboot 60500000 0 440000; bootm'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec;  run bootcmd_openwrt; reset'
saveenv

It works perfectly, thank you!!! :)

I tried to put the rootfs on the HDD. Unfortunately then the HDD idle does not work when swap and rootfs are on the disk. I think use the USB Stick for Rootfs/Swap in the future. :(

I tried to enable jumbo frames with

ifconfig eth0 down
ip link set eth0 mtu 9000 (6000,4000,2000)
ifconfig eth0 up

does not work. In the stock firmware from Medion the function was possible. Do you have a trick?

My next steps are tests because of the speed Samba/NFS/FTP.... Let's see what can be tickled out. I think the drive will be used for Proxmox backups in the future.

Yes. Roofts cannot go to sleep. But swap file is OK. When the system is idle there is no swapping going on. So use the USB for rootfs, but create a 2nd swap file on the HDD, and use that. For example,

# cat /etc/fstab 
.....
/swapfile1     swap            swap    defaults          0       0

# cat /etc/rc.local
.....		
swapoff -v /swapfile1
swapon -v -p 2 /media/DATA/swapfile2

See the Wiki thread for hints about performance tuning and benchmark.

I'm not sure if this OXNAS driver supports jumbo frames. Try reducing the speed. And make sure each node in your entire wire local network have jumbo frames. If even one node does not have jumbo frames, then the other nodes will not work in jumbo frames.

just a little hint, if you may run into some strange behavior... you've installed spl with 850MHz on NAND right now. Medion came with 750MHz by default. I noticed that commands like "agt-get update && apt-get upgrade" lead to segmentation fault when trying to create cache. With 800MHz it worked quite acceptable for me. Also our device doesn't have active cooling (no fan) and is already getting quite hot. I wouldn't recommend running 850MHz on regular basis.

next step i'm going to try is debian in openwrt chroot: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/chroot

With this type of problem, the best I can suggest is to stay with 4.14.198 for now if you run Debian.

Don't know when I will build Debian kernel 5.15.x, but that's my plan.The EOL date for 5.15.x is Oct 2026, and it might get extended.

Hi bodhi,
I wanted to thank you again for the support. The system runs great so far.
Recently, after each reboot comes a disk check that takes a long time. Do you know why or how to turn it off?

snickerweb,

I need to see the entire serial consle log. Snippet of log is not enough to see what' going on.
