See the installation instruction here:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,88619
The flash reset problem was overcome by setting some u-boot envs like I described in the instruction.
Post more questions if you don't understand some of the info there.

Hi Bohdi,
first of all - thank you very much for your great work!
I think I found a solution for the WOL Problem.
I searched in the orignal rcS2 in /etc on the original RootFS and found this:
If I put:
in my /etc/rc.local WOL works for me.
Tested with 5.1.7-mvebu-tld-1.
In the same rcS2 I found:
Maybe someone needs this too, like me.
Hope I could help!

I searched in the orignal rcS2 in /etc on the original RootFS and found this:
###### setup WOL ######
if [ -e ${CONF_PATH}/wol.status ]; then
/sbin/i2cset -y 0x0 0xa 0xa 0x0006 w
else
/sbin/i2cset -y 0x0 0xa 0xa 0x0306 w
fi
If I put:
/usr/sbin/i2cset -y 0x0 0xa 0xa 0x0006 w
in my /etc/rc.local WOL works for me.
Tested with 5.1.7-mvebu-tld-1.
In the same rcS2 I found:

030theo,
Ah, that was pretty good detective works :)
Zyxel seems to like to do everything through i2c. The fan speed and CPU temperature readout is also through i2cget!
Cool!
I will try this WOL and post back later.

030theo,
It works great on my box!
So the efftect of that i2cset command is also that the WOL status is turned on in the network chip. Before running this i2cset command, the status was "Wake-on: d".
When you look at the eth0 status using ethtool (after running the i2csetc command):
And it is sticky. Meaning the i2c bus is hooked up so some status register that turns this on permanently. You don't have to add that to /etc/rc.local. It will survive shutdown and reboot.
============
This has caused me to think that perhaps the boot source could be force set the same way when we want to test UART booting (the Sample on Reset register is static).
From your finding, we know that these are for WOL and PowerOff
The hard part is figuring out what are possible values that can be written to the memory at that 32-bit mask!
Perhaps more searching in stock OS would turn up some more clues :) Have you looked at other init scripts that run during halt ?
Thanks!

Thanks for doing the research!
I've modified the Installation instruction to point to your post for WOL.

I've modified the Installation instruction to point to your post for WOL.
Quote
A3. Normal Operation
The USB rootfs should be plugged in permanently, and the serial console module should be removed.
1. Whenever the NAS326 is rebooted or cold started, to boot without manual intervention, the serial console module must be unplugged from the NAS326. If the serial console module is plugged in, then step 1 in the installation instruction A2 must be executed (so that the NAS326 will continue booting when it detected the serial console present). Note that reboot in some instance will work with serial console plugged in.
2. If you want to boot back to stock OS in NAND, just shutdown the box, unplug the USB and power up the box. It will boot the kernel 1 in NAND and then if not successful, it will try kernel 2.
This also serves as a rescue system. Whenever the rootfs on USB has problem and cannot boot (the effect is just like the USB drive is not plugged in), the NAS326 will fall back to booting the kernel 1 or 2 in NAND. When this occurs, the u-boot envs in step 4 must be reentered at serial console again to allow booting back to USB rootfs.
3. Setup WOL. Please see this post for how to activate WOL:

030theo,
It was not sticky as I thought it was!
There is some instance where I shutdown the box and could not wake it up (I only ran i2cset once, and after that it survived many reboots and shutdowns).
So, that i2cset command is really needed to be added to /etc/rc.local to ensure it can be woken up always.

Are you inside stock OS?
Please post the log of what you did so far (don't describe it, just copy/paste whatever on the terminal).

Not at the moment. See here for the discussion about NSA325 (which is identical to this box re fan and temperature control).
Read a few post before this and a few after:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,92579,92834#msg-92834
In the meantime, you could put a heavy book on top of the case or tie a large rubber band around the case, to dampen the vibration. That's the noise you hear humming was casued by the fan vibration.

Got me NAS326. Nothing from instructions works.
No serial connection(prevents boot), no usb boot.
Nothing.
Tried ext3 on usb, then ext2(edited fstab).
Everything failed.
If anybody can help I'll be happy.
Thanks.

Do you have serial console? can you boot with it and post the boot log here?

Yes, I connected serial adapter, Prolific 2303(as I recall, writing from work). I successfully installed debian on Stora, Iomega with this adapter. I use screen on Debian Buster. Unit doesn't boot with adapter in USB slot. I disconnected it, boot proceeds. Then I quickly connect it and see some scrawls like word fragments.
I tried with kwboot from u-boot package from Debian. I received only HHD1 power up message and unit was booted into stock system.
So, no success.
Then I prepared rootfs on 2 usb sticks. Everything right to instruction from September 2019. Untar, concatenate Armada kernel text, then build Image with mkimage. Then turned on ssh in web-console and issued commands fw_setenv like in instruction. sync&sync&/sbin/reboot. Boot stucks on usb and freezes. Disconnect USB then power up. Stock system with web-console again.
So, this magic feeling -- nowhere to go.
I got arm box like Netgear Stora with Debian stretch. Can start again on Stora. Does it make a difference?

vadim,
1. Sept 2019 is the wrong rootfs to use.
You need to follow the installation instruction exactly
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,88619
The correct rootfs is Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.
After that you can upgrade kernel (I will write a few envs for you when you do that).
2. To boot with serial console attached, the installation instruction said in step 1:
Start kwboot on the serial console host

1. Sept 2019 is the wrong rootfs to use.
You need to follow the installation instruction exactly
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,88619
Quote
For 1st time installation, please use the instruction below.
The correct rootfs is Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.
After that you can upgrade kernel (I will write a few envs for you when you do that).
2. To boot with serial console attached, the installation instruction said in step 1:
Start kwboot on the serial console host
kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -d

vadim,
1. You did not follow the instruction.
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,88619
So you need to do section A or section B.
2. Your serial console is not working properly.
If it did work, then you should see clearly the boot progress.

WD My Cloud EX2100 (Armada 385) Installation: see this thread.
GlobalScale Technologies Mirabox (Armada 370) Installation, see this thread
Thecus N2350 (Armada 385) Installation: see this thread.
Synolgy RS816 (Armada 385) Installation: see Installation with USB rootfs (Section I). In the near future, there will be 3 more sections for other installation methods, but they are not ready yet.

Installation for NAS326 box can be done with serial console connected (section A), or inside stock OS and without serial console (section B for USB rootfs, section C for SATA rootfs). Note: for section A and B, the USB rootfs must be inserted to the front USB port (USB 2.0).
So you need to do section A or section B.
2. Your serial console is not working properly.
Quote
Yes, I connected serial adapter, Prolific 2303(as I recall, writing from work). I successfully installed debian on Stora, Iomega with this adapter. I use screen on Debian Buster. Unit doesn't boot with adapter in USB slot. I disconnected it, boot proceeds. Then I quickly connect it and see some scrawls like word fragments.
If it did work, then you should see clearly the boot progress.

I did section A to no success.
What time does it take
kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -d
10 mins?
1 hour?
I surely waited for 20 mins minimum. Only spinnin wheel.
Plugged serial to NetGear Stora -- WORKS like a charm.
I use kwboot from Debian Buster u-boot package.
If it's wrong where can I get patched one?
I plugged out serial and did section B.
Still no success.
Following instructions absolutely.
I got PL2303 USB UART adapter.
Maybe I will try FT232 USB UART? I can buy it nearby.

As I said, your serial console is not working on this box! The garbage chars output is a tell that the serial console is not grounded properly.

I successfully booted from USB.
Bought another serial adapter CP2102 USB UART Board.
kwboot still didn't work. Endless loop.
But I replugged adapter in screen and somehow was able to interrupt boot process
Then setenv, savenv and reset.
Works like a charm, dmesg without flaws.
Old adapter PL2303 still connects to Netgear Stora and I examined RX and TX with oscilloscope.
Signals from PL2303 are garbled and front is somewhat sloppy.
CP2102 shows clear signals.
Main cause of my fails was I think fake chinese adapter.
Use genuine parts, friends.
Thanks for help, bodhi.
Keep up the good work!

I got some trouble with Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.
Everything works at home with Zyxel router as default gateway.
Then travelled to work place.
Network is unreachable with TP-Link TL-MR3420 router.
There are about 20 hosts here. All connect without problem by wi-fi dhcp or manual ip through cable.
The stock OS on Zyxel 326 connects by cable well too.
But Debian from USB can't see carier or line or something.
Pings localhost, manually set ip pings too.
No dhcp service.
I connected 326 to my work computer by cross cable. Connects allright.
So, network problem with TP-Link TL-MR3420 router only.
Here I got serial cable and I can perform any operations.
Thanks for reply, sorry to waste your time, bodhi and folks.
Pls help.

I think it might have something to do with the MAC address.
There was some problem (in a few versions between kernel versions 4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12 to linux-5.3.5-mvebu-tld-1) with using the real (persistent) MAC address when the kernel parses the DTB. And that results in a randomly generated MAC address. Some router take a very long time to assign IP when the MAC address changes between boots.
Look in your dmesg for that. And also check ifconfig to see if the MAC address is the persistent one
I can take a look if you post this after you've logged into Debian using serial console:
If indeed the MAC address was randomly generated, then the quickest solution is to hardcode the MAC address in /etc/network/interfaces to make it persistent:
where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is your box MAC addresss (u-boot env ethaddr)

vadim,
Use this the setting for /etc/network/interfaces
Reboot with serial console and in Debian
Start pinging 192.168.1.1
You should get network connection right away. If not, wait for a few minutes. If still not getting network connection after 10 minutes, please post
Note: If you could log into the router web interface at work, you can check to see if the MAC address was reset correctly.

vadim,
Can you see the router's system log if it has any error or rejecting the NAS326?
Another possibility is that IPV6 is not supported by the router, while the rootfs has IPV6 enabled by default.
Try adding the ipv6 disable parameter to the end of bootargs. In serial console:

Maybe proceed with linux-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-bodhi.tar.bz2?
Maybe smthing will be changed?

vadim,
To summarize: at home network works OK, but at work with this TP-Link router it does not?
Could it be a IP address block restriction in the router setting?
I guess we should try the latest kernel to see if any difference. I will come back and post the env change to boot linux-5.3.5-mvebu-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2
