First try woes: Debian on the PogoPlug Pro May 21, 2017 04:51PM |

Hoping to run Debian on a PogoPlug pro
I can no longer access my Pogo via SSH and I’m guessing it may be due to using a cheap USB drive.
Followed Qii Hong’s guide here: http://blog.qnology.com/2015/04/hacking-pogoplug-v3oxnas-proclassic.html
• I had to look around the web, archives, doozan forum, etc for all of the required files.
• I realize this will put me on an old version of debian, but I figured I could upgrade uBoot and Debian later, for now I needed more step by step instructions
Installed rootfs from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/shk6b7klgyuu48p/Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
Installed uBoot from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/17vrdq07thcx9hj/uboot.2013.10-tld-4.ox820.bodhi.tar
Initially I started working through the guide connected via SSH over the PogoPro’s wifi, after I started getting errors trying to do fw_setenv steps related to the ethaddr steps. I was able to do those successfully after connecting the PogoPro to my router via ethernet.
Everything seemed to go as expected otherwise. The only odd part was that I was not able to get the USB to show up in a list using df -h and in order to format it I had to use the command fdisk -l to see that my usb was located at dev/sdc so I proceeded to use sdc(1) instead of sda(1) in the formatting steps.
Here is the output of my fw_printenv.txt file:
bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5
baudrate=115200
ethaddr=00:25:31:00:f7:fd
fdt_file=/boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb
dt_load_dtb=ext2load usb 0:1 $dtb_addr $fdt_file
I also entered all the commands to configure netconsole, but am not sure how to make the actual connection to get the boot log info.
The PogoPro starts up, gets a solid green light, and appears to be getting an IP address, but that’s all I can do for now. I do have a serial device but would like to take advantage of netconsole since it’s there, or figure out how (if it is the USB drive at fault) I can clone or format another usb to test that as the problem. I do have a Raspberry Pi running debian, so could I just use the formatting and debian install steps with a USB device connected to the Pi?
Thanks for any points in the right direction.

This is odd. If the USB is the only storage device plugged in then it should have been sda1. It is perhaps something to do with your USB drive brand and/or model (i.e. bad hardware).

Your u-boot envs are incomplete. So it means you have not installed the u-boot default envs image (u-boot installation always needs 2 images, the u-boot image and the u-boot default env image).

With the above u-boot envs, you have no netconsole.

Now it's time to connect the serial console. It will help making everything so much easier. After you have recovered from this wrong installation, then you can setup netconsole and use that permanently instead of serial console.

As I mentioned, you'll need serial console to make fixing this u-boot installation problem easier.
There is another possible path to receover, (booting SATA), but that is a lot more work than just connecting serial console.

Thanks bodhi I'm not sure where I botched the u-boot install, but glad to know which direction to go to fix it.
If I work through these steps again while connected via serial console will that fix the u-boot envs and netconsole?

Yes, it will fix the errors.
Perform all the steps above. And then do this additional step:
Please the entire log of what you did before rebooting.

Sounds good. I'll post back soon. Thanks again.
One question since I'm kind of starting over, would it be possible to do the steps above but substitute the old u-boot tar file and debian tar for the latest version in your related threads.
For example replace
and
and
and this one I'm guessing at since I have the pro model
And finally wget the latest rootfs tar and replace:
Then will I be on the latest and greatest? If so I'll also plan do do that ethernet fix
Thanks again!

cdlenfert,
What you list above is all correct. Except these 2 items:
1. Netconsole does not start automatically using the latest version, as stated in the uboot release thrread:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017
So if you need netconsole, then use the version you have
If you can use serial console to troubleshoot booting problem in the future, then use uboot.2015.10-tld-1.
2. Latest Pogo V3 rootfs is
Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

I've uploaded the uboot.2015.10-tld-1 u-Boot image for Pogoplug V3 Oxnas.
Warning: netconsole does not start automatically in this version. If you don't have serial console and therefore need netconsole to see the boot progress, please use previous u-boot version (uboot.2013.10-tld-3.ox820.bodhi.tar - Updated 16 May 2014). And follow the instruction in that section.
So if you need netconsole, then use the version you have
uboot.2013.10-tld-4.ox820.mtd0.img
If you can use serial console to troubleshoot booting problem in the future, then use uboot.2015.10-tld-1.

Ahh yes, same rootfs in both versions. Thanks for pointing that out and confirming. Since I have serial, I don't think I'll really need netconsole, so I should be able to skip the netconsloe steps, right (since it won't work anyway).
One more question :)
I noticed later on in Qui's guide that he makes this change in order to configure the wifi card in the PogoPro. If I do this out of the gate, will ethernet still work after a reboot? Ideally I'd like to have the wifi card be functional with the option to also hook up via ethernet.

cdlenfert,
This is the correct setting for Pogo Pro.
>
ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb is wrong for Pogo Pro. Qui used the classic version for all cases, which is not a very good choice (it would cause some confusion when you see wifi is not working). When people installing u-boot, I would expect they know which Pogo V3 box they have, and can follow instruction to choose between 2 hardware versions.
Ethernet always works if you have the cable connected. Wifi is a different story. You will need to do further set up to have both ethernet and Wifi co-exists and working, and when you unplug one or the other.

After getting the serial connection working I'm able to see the boot process in action. If I don't interrupt it, it just keeps retrying.
Here is the boot data
After that it goes into a loop
If I interrupt by pressing a key before boot, I get a command not found for any basic commands like 'ls' or 'cd', basically when I hit the first 'wget' while trying to re-do the flash u-boot steps above, I'm stuck. Any ideas how to proceed?
I do see these commands as available when I do 'help'.

The above errors should not occur if you have installed the u-boot default envs image (ctually they are not part of the default envs so you would not see them executing).

Look at your u-boot installation log. You must have missed flashing the default envs image.

My Log
And this was the result of 'fw_printenv'
Any way to come back from this aside from a sata drive boot? Can I reconfigure with the u-boot commands, get the PogoPro to boot from the recognized USB, revert to stock OS boot?
Thanks again very much for your feedback and help so far.

cdlenfert,
At this point, meaning right after you execute fw_printenv in the instruction:
Run these 2 commands, so I can see why the fw_printenv did not print correct values:

I don't think I can work through the instructions (at least I'm not sure how I would) because I'm only able to access the u-boot console when connected via serial/UART. When I try anything like fw_printenv the result is an unknown command. Is there some other way I should be connecting or getting additional capabilities outside of the u-boot console?
OX820> /tmp/fw_printenv Unknown command '/tmp/fw_printenv' - try 'help'

Yes, this is the right approach. Since you mentioned above you can only do this in u-boot console. So you could use setenv in u-boot console to set each one of these
For example,
Note that I used a single quote before and after the string so that the embedded spaces and embedded = sign are literals.

Yes, this is the right approach. Since you mentioned above you can only do this in u-boot console. So you could use setenv in u-boot console to set each one of these
autoload=no baudrate=115200 bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 bootdelay=10 console=console=ttyS0,115200n8 ethact=mii0 ethaddr=5e:2b:15:71:ec:b6 ipaddr=192.168.0.222 mtdids=nand0=41000000.nand mtdparts=mtdparts=41000000.nand:14m(boot),-(data) serverip=192.168.0.220 stderr=serial stdin=serial stdout=serial usb_device=0:1 if_netconsole=ping $serverip preboot_nc=run if_netconsole start_netconsole start_netconsole=setenv ncip $serverip; setenv bootdelay 10; setenv stdin nc; setenv stdout nc; setenv stderr nc; version usb_set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 uinitrd_addr=0x60e00000 uimage_addr=0x60500000 dtb_addr=0x62c00000 dt_load_dtb=ext2load usb 0:1 $dtb_addr /boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb dt_load_initrd=ext2load usb 0:1 $uinitrd_addr /boot/uInitrd dt_load_uimage=ext2load usb 0:1 $uimage_addr /boot/uImage dt_bootm=bootm $uimage_addr $uinitrd_addr $dtb_addr dt_usb_boot=run dt_load_uimage; run dt_load_initrd; run dt_load_dtb; run dt_bootm dt_usb_bootcmd=run usb_set_bootargs; run dt_usb_boot dt_bootcmd_usb=usb start; run dt_usb_bootcmd; usb stop; reset bootcmd=run dt_bootcmd_usb
For example,
setenv bootcmd 'run dt_bootcmd_usb' setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=41000000.nand:14m(boot),-(data)'

Edit: Please skip this post, I got the PogoPro to boot into Debian on the USB by re-entering the u-boot setenv commands. The only difference in getting it to work was updating the pogo IP in the envs settings, and the server IP, and then I did a 'saveenv" so I wouldn't have to put in all these commands again. I've got root access on debian. My question now is, will it boot successfully again after I unplug and re-attach to my router? Doing so will change the pogo's IP address. The reason why it changed in the first place was because I needed the pogo to be close to my mac to connect serial, which would be more difficult in the location where the router is easily accessible.

Thanks Bodhi, here's my results including my printenv after setting the variables and the result of sending a 'reset' command to trigger the boot process. Unfortunately I wasn't able to boot into debian on the usb. Should I have to do 'savenv' after entering these commands in u-boot console? checking 'printenv' after the failed boot, they've reverted back to my old env settings. Could I have put in the wrong new env settings considering I'm trying to boot an older version of debian? Thanks again for your direction, I'm enjoying learning about this stuff, but obviously still have a long way to go.

The IP won't change if you use static IP (in /etc/netowrk/interfaces).
And when you use dynamic IP (it is default setting in the rootfs), you can always use its name (debian.local) to login. For example,

Well I greatly appreciate all the help getting the boot botch sorted out.
Edit: Please ignore the stuff below. The reason I couldn't SSH into the Pogo was that I hooked up another external drive and I'm guessing it didn't know where to look for rootfs. I'll have to see how to remedy that later. For now, all is good with the wifi connection. I am still curious if I need to change the u-boot envs that specify the ethernet IP address, or was that just for netconsole use?
Here's where I'm currently at.
After updating and configuring Debian (including wifi configuration), I was able to reboot with the same ethernet connection and ehternet and wifi were able to connect and get valid IPs.
However after disconnecting the ethernet and booting, the wifi failed to connect to my network.
Is this because of the manual ethernet IP I designated in the u-boot envs while the pogo was tethered to my mac?
How do I get this thing to boot and connect to my network solely on wifi?

This wifi/ethernet is a common problem with the Pogo Pro. I'll find the post where you can follow to set it up correctly.

Hey Bodhi, it's me again!
I decided I wanted to install Debian again (on a different Pogo Pro) and this time get on the latest kernel, uBoot, and rootfs. However midway through I LOST POWER!!!!!!. So it’s back to the serial console for me, and hopefully I can restore again. My main concern is that I was missing something in my approach because when I did a fw_printenv I did not see the output I was expecting. Here’s how it all went down. Any tips on where things went wrong (and if it should be possible to recover) would be greatly appreciated.
I thought maybe there were steps in the rootfs install process (which I was planning to do next) that might set some of the new env variables. However when I plugged in my USB, the power plug for the Pogo must have loosened slightly and I lost my SSH connection. I’ll connect to serial (sigh) and try to work through restoring things to get up and running again.
I do see where I missed a note about not erasing 1 block in /dev/mtd0, and not flashing pogopro_uboot_env.img in steps 9 and 10 if on a non-FDT (old) kernel. As you can see above I did those steps and posted the results. To be fair, those instructions were in the second set of old instructions from May 2014 and the latest instructions say “This u-boot and the default envs image supports both modern FDT and non-FDT kernel. It will not work with stock kernel. So do not install this u-boot if you plan to run stock kernel.”. I didn't plan to run stock kernel, but hadn't yet got to the point of creating the rootfs USB with the latest kernel. Is this why my env variables were incomplete?
I'm thinking I'll have to create a rootfs drive on another PogoPlug, as well as manually set the uBoot envs in order to recover from this. Should I use these envs for the latest uBoot, or something else?
Thanks

cdlenfert,
You've done this successfully and see no error. You are OK even loosing power.
At this point, all you need to do is to create a new rootfs using the latest rootfs:
Remember to skip step 4 (you are running the latest u-boot).
That's it! the latest u-boot and its default env image that you have installed will automatically boot the new rootfs.

Cool! I'll give it a shot. My only linux system is another PogoPlug, so I'll set up rootfs once I can get access to the other Pogo.
Any idea why my fw_printenv output was so short?

Here were my steps in creating the new rootfs. Unfortunately I wasn't able to boot off it with the PogoPro with new uBoot.
Removed the drive,plugged it in the Pro with newest Uboot, but did not get an IP address and can't SSH.

cdlenfert,
The instruction stated:
That's how the new u-boot env was scripted to find the rootfs. No matter how many drives/partitions are currently used in the box, the kernel will find the rootfs with this label.
So the command

1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs. If you are running the latest released uboot for OXNAS then you can use Ext4.

Went back and changed label using:
Was able to confirm the change, but the system still will not boot.

Tried again from scratch on the rootfs drive. Everything seems to go fine. The thing I didn't expect is the lack of the /media/usb1/etc/fstab file.
I created it and put the stuff from step 3 into it.
Still will not boot off new rootfs usb.
When I list out the contents of the new rootfs they are as follows:
Do I need to "unzip" the linux-dtb-4.4.79-oxnas-tld-1.tar" ? The contents of the older rootfs on my other PogoPro are as follows:
Maybe I should continue down to the instruciton from 12 Dec 2016 which do include extracting the oxnas-tld tarball and using dpkg on deb files etc. Step 5 in the top-most instructions posted 5 Aug 2017 makes it sound like you shouldn't need to complete any additional steps. "5. Done installation. Take this USB rootfs to your plug and cold start."

Adjust fstab (optional).
Edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device to match the rootfstype of your rootfstype if you use Ext4 or Ext2. However, you can keep it as is without problem in booting since the kernel will figure out which file system the rootfs was formatted.
LABEL=rootfs / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

cdlenfert,
I did not notice before, that you were using the wrong tarball to create the rootfs!
That was the kernel tarball, not rootfs tarball.
The rootfs was in this section, like I posted before above:
BTW, you did not read the first few lines in the first post :)
