NSA325V2 - Installation of Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs fails

Hello everyone,

this is my third thread in order to update my NSA325v2 - it seems, I've no luck with this box... :/

Anyways, I'm trying to install Debian 4.4.0 rootfs, in order to be able to install the newest U-Boot - seeNSA325V2 u-boot installation - Problem with permission denied.

In order to install Debian 4.4.0 rootfs, i've followed the instructions on http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096, starting from "Updated 20 Feb 2016:".

I've done the following steps:

1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs. In addition, I've set the bootflag for this partition.
cd /media/sdb1 
tar -xjf Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
Adjust fstab. ext2 -> ext3
Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside: 
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1  zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt  uImage
sync
Done. Take this USB rootfs to your plug and cold start.

My NAS isn't booting. The bootlog is:

The USB card is located in the left rear USB slot, when seen from behind. I've adjusted the boot envs as bescribed here, but no luck

I've searched a lot in this forum and google, desperately tried some suggestions, but as stated at the begin of this thread, no luck for me.

haarwurm,

2 things.

1. This step should be done with the NSA325v2 DTB

Wrong command:

cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb  >> zImage.fdt

This is the correct command:

cat dts/kirkwood-nsa325.dtb >> zImage.fdt

2. Since you are booting with stock u-boot, and a new Debian rootfs, the envs must be adjusted.

Wrong command:

bootcmd_linux=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_linux); mw.l f1010100 0020c000; usb reset; ext2load usb 0:1 $(loadaddr) /uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd; bootm $(loadaddr) 0x01100000

Correct command:

bootcmd_linux=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_linux); mw.l f1010100 0020c000; usb reset; ext2load usb 0:1 $(loadaddr) /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000 /boot/uInitrd; bootm $(loadaddr) 0x01100000

bodhi, are you ever sleeping? Again, you answered my question almost instantly, thank you - and by the way, thank you for your indispensable work.

Concerning the DTS part, I used the nsa325 file, but forgot to alter the pasted text, sorry.

The correct envs did the trick, my NSA325v2 is booting! :)
Now I'll try to update the U-Boot, I'm curious, what happens now...

It's bed time now actually, I was surfing and just squeezed in 5 minutes to write that post :))

For further reference, since I needed some attempts, to find the correct syntax: The working command is:

setenv bootcmd_linux 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_linux); mw.l f1010100 0020c000; usb reset; ext2load usb 0:1 $(loadaddr) /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000 /boot/uInitrd; bootm $(loadaddr) 0x01100000'

Furthermore, I had to set :

setenv 'bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000(uboot),0x80000(uboot_env),0x80000(key_store),0x80000(info),0xA00000(etc),0xA00000(kernel_1),0x2FC0000(rootfs1),0xA00000(kernel_2),0x2FC0000(rootfs2) root=LABEL=rootfs loglevel=8'

After this, I issued a "run to_linux" and the system saved the configuration booted as expected.
