Trying to rescue Pogoplug E02

Trying to rescue Pogoplug E02
March 01, 2025 11:48PM
I have a Pogoplug E02 that was once being used with stock firmware as a Pogoplug cloud drive. It has been sitting on a shelf unused for many years. When I attempted to assess its state recently it would not boot. I managed to attach a serial console to see what was going on.

From here I attempted to boot with Debian rootfs on USB using tftpboot per https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,28772,29034#msg-29034

Result was a failure to boot because rootfs couldn't be found despite the LABEL=rootfs being present (created when the disk was formatted from CLI and then also updated after formatting - again with CLI). Resorted to booting with `root=/dev/sda1` which worked. Yay! Debian booted from USB.

But now trying to update uBoot to something that supports USB boot. (per https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381).

I get to the part where I am to capture the existing settings and I'm seeing errors so not sure how to proceed now:

Cannot read default environment from file

That list of ECC errors is quite long and there is nothing else output. Redirecting to a file (i.e. current_envs.txt) generates same long list of errors but no content to the file. So can I update uBoot if I can't get the current environment this way?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

tangoRomeo,

That instruction is old. So you are not ready yet because of this error:

[    0.000000][    T0] INITRD: 0x01100000+0x00586000 overlaps in-use memory region
[    0.000000][    T0]  - disabling initrd

Use this instruction in the Wiki thread

Kirkwood plugs

Boot Kirkwood rootfs with stock u-boot

And you don't need to change the root device to sda1.

After booted back in to Debian the rootfs label will take effect.

====

Since the bad block is not in the 1st 1M, it's OK to flash new u-boot.

[    4.999240] Bad eraseblock 214 at 0x000001ac0000
[    5.071503] Bad eraseblock 841 at 0x000006920000

After flashing new u-boot, the envs will be OK. And you can use the stock envs listing as the reference to set ethaddr.

Hi bodhi.

Thanks for your input. I rebooted per the Wiki link and as you advised, it booted fine with the `rootfs` label. I did not observe the INITRD overlap warning in the reboot messages. But I am still not sure things are all OK to continue. The log from the point just before initiating the boot with the tftp images:

And I have the `ethaddr` value from the `printenv` in uBoot. But I don't have the exact content of `mtdparts` (which I imagine will have content similar to what is found in `/proc/mtd`).

Since your message suggested to me that I should be able to flash uBoot and that the "envs will be OK", that is what I did:

Now I'm at the point of writing the Environment image (step d. Flash u-boot envs to NAND location 0xC0000.) but I don't think I have the `mtdparts` info I need in step e

Your guidance is greatly appreciated!

Flashing u-boot meaning going through all the steps in the instruction.

Note in Step 1:

Quote

If you don't have /etc/fw_env.config file in your system then go ahead and create this file with the above content. MTD parts are not important for booting and it can be adjusted later. For users who like to keep the stock mtd definition, there is no need to adjust it to the above definition. As long as mtd0 is defined as 1MB (0x00100000) or greater then it will be OK:
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"

So if the output of "cat /proc/mtd" in Step 1 showing mtd0 is
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
Then go ahead and continue with 8.d.

Thank-you bodhi.

I apologise for not observing several of the items you pointed out.

I can happily report that the u-boot update has been completed successfully.

Cheers!
