Install Debian on pink pogoplug E02 from ArchLinuxARM

Hi,

I've got a barely running pink pogoplug with ALARM.

It boots and I can SSH it, BUT :

It doesn't boot if there is no USB drive plugged in

And I want to install Debian now ...

Can someone give me some tips to do so without bricking it ?

Thanks

vtx,

Do you have serial console connected, or netconsole set up? If you do, capture the serial/net console log and post here.

It is normal that it is not booting when no USB drive plugged in. After you've installed Arch or Debian (u-boot was likely replaced in the process), to be able to boot back to stock OS in NAND, extra setup will be needed. And if you have installed Arch recently, your stock OS is no longer usable, you will need to restore it with a good copy from someone.

Please boot up with your current Arch USB, and capture the output of these commands and post the log here:

dmesg -T
fw_printenv
mount
cat /proc/mtd
df -h
free

Try the Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 rootfs in the kernel/rootfs thread:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Scroll down to the section:

Quote

Updated 02 Sept 2014 (rootfs):

Rootfs Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 was uploaded. This rootfs is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 (and its new features).

Follow the instruction exactly as it was written, and create a rootfs on a USB stick.

To summarize the steps in that section: boot into Arch, as root user (sudo will not work ), create a single Ext3 partition on the new USB stick, untar the Debian 3.16 rootfs to it. And use this to boot your Pogoplug.

vtx,

And after you have booted into Debian, you can run the fw_printenv again to get the listing of your u-boot envs.

Ok, seems better now : green fixed led on the pink pogoplug

BUT : can't ping it, what's the default IP ? It doesn't request one to my dhcp server.



Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/09/2015 07:27AM by vtx.

vtx it should be the same one you ssh'd unless your router re-leased it. My router allows for DHCP address reservation, enter mac address and your'e good to go. That helps a lot.
However I'm here as cheerleader, don't give up, it's SO worth it. I still have an Arch stick and thank grayman profusely for the instructs for some working apps, but the OS itself is a nightmare to update - tried yesterday and it was a chicken and egg of you need this dependency to get a dependency you aren't allowed to have. I didn't make this graphic but it speaks for me.

Debian on an E02 with optional XFCE blows my mind. Good luck and get that IP squared away!

I believe you will need to adjust u-boot envs to boot Debian. Do you have serial console or netconsole set up?

I have no serial console or netconsole ...
Is there a way to set it up from ALARM ?

You have installed Arch, so you u-boot is new, but I'm not sure if it is the version that supports neconsole. If it does, you should definitely set it up, before changing any of the u-boot envs.

Here is a very informative post by our member TEN, which shows exactly how to migrate from Arch to Debian.
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=46069#p46069

Before you start changing u-boot envs, I'd strongly recommend setting up netconsole or serial console first. It is impossible to recover from a typo while changing u-boot envs without some console capability.

I was about to open a new thread but this looks so close to my situation I thought I should just reply here...

I'm a near-noob (installed Arch&SAMBA on a Pogo-B01 over a year ago but have forgotten most of what I learned then) wanting to run Debian on my new Pogo-E02. I tried to follow a couple of different tutorials for Debian Squeeze & Wheezy on kirkwood devices, but (A) ran into errors and (B) my linux skills are so limited that I was lost once anything went wrong. I *was* able to get Arch to boot from a USB stick, and it seems fine (in fact, unlike vtx in this thread I can boot into Arch with the USB stick or into Pogoplug without it).

The output from my "dmesg -T" command etc looks nearly identical to vtx's.

How does a complete ignoramus (ie me) tell if I have netconsole or install/enable it if I don't.

When I follow that link I find a thread titled "[HOW-TO ARMv5-Kirkwood] NAND rescue system" and no mention in the thread of the words "Debian" or "migrate", so either the archlinuxarm.org forum has scrambled their post/thread numbers or my ignorance is failing me again. But the thread you describe sounds like exactly what I need. Can you post a new link or tell me what to search for? I tried searching for "migrate debian" but didn't come up with anything.


Thanks for any help you can provide to a struggling noob.

Hi huge,

Welcome to forum! Here are info about Debian u-boot and kernel:

Pogo V3 Debian kernel:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044

Pogo V3 u-boot:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017

Now for Pogo E02 migrating:

If you're not sure about netconsole and serial console, then you will need to learn what they are for eventually. But first, you need to tell us what do you have right now. Are you booting Arch Linux on you Pogo E02? pls post then entire dmesg log. I need to know what u-boot you are running, and which kernel you are running.

Yes I am successfully (I think) booting Arch from a USB stick. If I unplug the USB stick and reboot I get a Pogoplug$ prompt, so I assume my initial Pogoplug software has been preserved (I don't care about that very much - I don't think it's likely I will want to switch back).

Here is my dmesg -T output:

@huge,

It looks good. You should follow instruction in this thread to boot Debian from Arch u-boot::
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,23727

Thanks bodhi!

Since I'm not grasping a fair amount of the language in the two (or more) threads I'm trying to follow, can you sanity-check what I think I'm about to do?

1. Connect new USB stick for Debian boot to a linux box ... ok wait, I already have questions (!):

- I can do all this on my Pogoplug running Arch right? (I don't have to use my Ubuntu box?)
- I just format the USB stick as Ext3, with one partition, correct?

2. Generally follow the Linux Kernel 4.2 Kirkwood thread:

(I'm a little confused here since there are multiple "Installation" sections, but I assume I just follow the topmost one under 4.1, since there isn't one under 4.2)

- download & extract kernel & DTB files, install with dpkg
- Generate the uImage and uInitrd, and set U-Boot envs for booting (step 4a in that thread)

3. Coming back to the "Booting Debian" thread you linked, download & copy uEnv_arch_uboot_boot_debian.txt

4. Create label & boot to Debian


In writing that out I ran into some more confusion ... in your previous reply (3 up from this one) you gave me a link to a page titled "Linux Kernel 4.1 Pogo V3 (Oxnas OX820) package and rootfs (Flattened Device Tree)", but the "Booting Debian" thread you linked in your last reply itself links to the thread titled "Linux Kernel 4.2 Kirkwood (FDT) and 3.16 Kirkwood (non-FDT) package and rootfs". Should I follow the older but more Pogo-specific thread/instructions?


Sorry for any terminology I've completely mangled, and thanks for your help/patience

Yes, any Linux system is fine. Arch Linux uses the same commands.

Since you have 2 types of Pogoplug: V3 and E02, so I mentioned both, in case you did not already know.

To install on the E02, which is a Kirkwood type, follow the above link is correct.

Hi bodhi Thanks again, and...

I'm getting hung up on something that is probably trivial and due to my ignorance about working with different linux systems:

The "Linux Kernel 4.2 Kirkwood" instructions contain the lines

cd /boot
apt-get remove flash-kernel 
dpkg -i linux-image-4.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb

...but because I'm on Arch I don't have apt-get or dpkg, and I'm guessing that it's not the right idea for me to stumble around trying to transform those into pacman or some other command. I've found references to dealing with .deb files on Arch by using deb2targz & creating a PKGBUILD, but I suspect I'm just taking a wrong turn here.

Thanks for any more guidance you can provide...

@huge,

No, you don't need to install kernel. You only need to create Debian rootfs following this section:

Updated 02 Sept 2014 (rootfs): 

Rootfs Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 was uploaded. This rootfs is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2 (and its new features).

This section can be done the same way in any Linux system.

Ding Ding Ding! I already thanked you in a PM, but thanks - that nailed it, and I seem to have a happy Debian pogoplug now.

Are there directions somewhere for doing the same thing with an external USB drive? I remember that being a little tricky with my old Pogo-B01 but that may have been because of the B01/oxnas/ARM weirdness or the fact that I'm booting from a 3TB SATA drive, whereas now I want to boot Debian from a 2TB USB drive attached to my Pogo-E02. Can I just create a boot partition and a data partition on the drive and then follow the same steps I just did with the flash drive?

thanks one more time,

It is the same procedure. The only thing you should do differently is to use one Ext3 partition. To use multiple partitions you will need to adjust u-boot envs to ensure booting successfully.
