Possible to get Debian on a Medion NAS P89654 2x4 TB?
November 01, 2017 03:31AM
Hello,
I own a Medion NAS with 2x4TB WD Harddisk Model WDC WD40EZRX-22SPEB0.
I studied the forum about flashing several NAS to use Debian on it, but I'm unsure if my NAS has the possibility to do it.
I have root access to my box and was able to install ipkg and other (so it can be used like an open stora.)
The kernel is based on HipServ Axentra, version 2.6.31.8 (so very old...:-/)

Processor	: Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l)
BogoMIPS	: 999.42
Features	: swp half thumb fastmult edsp 
CPU implementer	: 0x56
CPU architecture: 5TE
CPU variant	: 0x2
CPU part	: 0x131
CPU revision	: 1

Hardware	: Feroceon-KW
Revision	: 0000
Serial		: 0000000000000000


The mtd partition is
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00600000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 0f900000 00020000 "rootfs"


If you need more informations, do not hesitate to contact me and I will post more infos.
Regards from Germany

Yes, it is possible to run Debian on this box. It is a Kirkwood SoC like every other boxes I supported here. However, most likely, there are differences in hardwarre peripherals and GPIOs, so a new DTS for this box is needed, which can be based on existing DTS for other boxes. This might be easy, or hard, I'm not sure, until I see the boot log.

And also, you should get GPL source for this box from the manufacturer or from other public sources. Sometime, a few minor details can only be found by looking at the GPL source code. We can only find things such as GPIOs (to control hardware) from GPL source.


Do you have serial console connected? if yes, please post the entire serial console boot log here.

This is a close cousin of the NSA310S and Pogo V4. We should be able to get a this running with new kernel. And then how complete it is will be depending on how much informtion you can find (i.e access to GPL source).

Yes, you have a corrupted NAND area where the envs are. But I hope it is not serious.

Look back to the printenv you did in serial console when you first boot up this box with it (before the corruption). Did you list the envs and keep the log of that?

1. Usually, you can just reenter them one by one at serial console and then save it. That will create a new copy with a good checksum. If the NAND sector is not really bad, just the checksum is bad, then it will be back to normal.

2. If the NAND sector is actually bad, then that's a more complicate issue. You need to use the good set of envs (which you enter manually at serial console prompt in number 1 above), boot all the way in to stock OS, or new Debian rootfs. And then we'll take a look to see how to proceed.

3. If the NAND sector is bad, one way to recover is trying to scrub it in serial console. Hopefully it will be back.

4. If there is no way to recover that NAND sector, then we'll need new u-boot for this box to completely fix it (ie. I do use a different NAND area for u-boot envs for Kirkwood boxes).

Im not sure what you mean with list and log... I just did the printenv which is listed in here. I have to admit that I didn't save the original env list and log :-(

I remember that in the fw_env.conf file there was just one line which autoconfigs the box with IP and so...

1. Usually, you can just reenter them one

will create a new copy with a good checksum. If

You really mean just copy paste the printenv line by line? But how to save then?
Ànother question is where is the Definition of my jbod stored - in one of the uboot-files?
I tried to attach them on my ubuntu Laptop but just get the info that theres a GPT Format and I cannot re-assemble them with mdadm...


2. If the NAND sector is actually bad, then that's

Do I Need to prepare an USB stick for that and boot from it?


3. If the NAND sector is bad, one way to recover

How to do?


4. If there is no way to recover that NAND sector,

Okay, so how will I proceed the best way - as you numbered?

saschbaer,

What you listed were the u-boot internal envs. That's what u-boot uses when encountered a bad CRC checksum, or a bad NAND sector where the envs are stored.

What actually stored in that NAND sector is the envs that used for booting. Thus, you could not boot because the internal envs are just some default values, not good enough for booting stock OS.

## Booting image at 02000000 ...                                                
Bad Magic Number

What I meant by listing and log: normally, the first thing we want to do after we connect serial console or boot into stock OS, is to list the envs, and then keep a log of that for recovery purpose. Without that log, you can't restore a good set of envs to boot into stock OS, now that the current envs NAND area is bad.

Yes, line-by-line. Once you can boot into stock OS then worry about saving them.

At this point, number 1 what you need to do to recover. After that, you will have many options.

So how to proceed now?

I remember I entered a set of envs for using nc without Serial terminal.
With that I changed the Server and Client IP and entered the NC commands as posted.
Any possibility to undo that action?

1. Google for this box name, hopefully that in some forum, someone has the same box in working order, and you can ask for a listing of the current envs.

2. If 1 fails, contact the manufacturer or visit their website to find the recovery Firmware.

3. If 1 and 2 fail (I will not be surpised because either the box might be too old, or nobody has hacked it), come back and we'll try the UART booting method using kwboot to see if you can boot with one of my released u-boots. And then go from there.

We have to do Option 3.
Nobody has hacked the box before, and Medion hasn't a recovery Firmware.
The autorecovery function doesnt work anymore because of the bricked fw. :-(

So what to prepare?

No way to undo that without knowing what a good set of envs is supposed to be.

And netconsole does not work in stock u-boot (I have never seen a stock u-boot that supports netconsole). So you don't want do that for any box that still had stock u-boot.


Anyhow, that must have been why the envs are corrupted (what being entered was not what stock u-boot expected, as far as the checksum is concerned). So in a way, that is good news! that told us the CRC checksum is wrong, not a bad NAND sector.

By the way, you should have posted this fact when you see the booting problem yesterday.

saschbaer,

Dowload the NSA310S u-boot:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

Read this UART booting mentioned in that thread:

Quote

UART Booting: If possible, try to test this boot image with UART booting before flashing to NAND. See davygravy's UART booting using kwboot instruction here in this thread. The latest u-boot image released here should be used for UART booting, if your box is the type that supports it (these do not: Dockstar, Pogo E02, iConnect).

You will need another Linux box to connect serial console, Windows PC cannot run kwboot.

you see there characters are missing or getting strange while kwboot tries to submit the file.

baudrate is 115200 on minicom

I did also a md md ff00003c, but got zeros back...

This indicated that kwboot did not handshake with box. So it did not run. Stock u-boot has started and running.

This is the correct command:
kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.nsa310s.mtd0.kwb -p

And minicom should not be run. Only kwboot command should be executed. kwboot is the serial console while you are running it.

Hello again...
I closed minicom, started your command (with and without -p)
But theres only the fast spinning character, no feedback from the nas...

I also checked TXD/RXD, and if i changed and started the spinning character went really slow then.
as i changed back TXD/RXD its running fast again...
any idea?
Re: Possible to get Debian on a Medion NAS P89654 2x4 TB?
November 11, 2017 05:19AM
saschbaer,

You already have the correct RXD and TXD connection when you used minicom, and could interrupt stock u-boot at countdown. And when kwboot slows down, it senses some character at the port that it can't recognize. So it is not RXD/TXD.

I think the bad news is most likely your box does not support UART booting (same as some of the Kirkwood boxes such as Dockstar, Pogo E02,...).

However, you could keep trying to control-C and then restart kwboot for 10, 20 times (without recycling power) to see if it helps.

And also try running kwboot while gently pressing down on the TXD and RXD wire connectors (at the board serial header).

- tarball size: 188M
- install size: 488M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root

And remember to check the hash of what you download, as always.


2. Verify your u-boot can boot USB:

Power up interrupt serial console and

usb start

3. Repeat what helge did in setting up the envs. You might want to list the setenv commands that you will execute here, so I can help look over for any error or things that we want to avoid doing at serial console.

Re: Possible to get Debian on a Medion NAS P89654 2x4 TB?
November 12, 2017 06:13AM
Well I created the USB Stick (Intenso 32 GB) as root with ext3, extracted the tar...
i choosed kirkwood320s, did the build on my Ubuntu x64 laptop,
root@SaschSamsung:/media/sdd1/boot# mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt  uImage

Created:      Sun Nov 12 12:43:05 2017
Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size:    3834820 Bytes = 3744.94 kB = 3.66 MB
Load Address: 00008000
Entry Point:  00008000
root@SaschSamsung:/media/sdd1/boot# sync
and then brought it to my Medion.

I entered that:
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200'
setenv usb_load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv usb_load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv usb_boot 'usb start; run set_bootargs; run usb_load_uimage; run usb_load_uinitrd; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000'
run usb_boot

and the bootlog after that made:
USB:   scanning bus for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found

Have you tried a different USB flash drive?

I have not check helge posts to see if I remember anything we need to do that is out of the ordinary. Yould could read that thread to see if you can spot anything special.

Hi,
after a few try and errors (and reflashing) I noticed something in another forum:
if you gpart an usb stick with ext2 name it boot and another ext4 name it rootfs the stick will be recognized correctly.

also I found out that maybe the NAS NSA325 seems to have the same config as my Medion P89654.

Maybe i should try to get the boot parts onto boot partition and the rest in rootfs?

Do i also have to adapt then the zImage file?
Or shall I reflash with a newer uBoot and then continue with the stick?

I found the manual in here
https://micha.stoecker.me/p/DNVpwG47

It is unecessary to have 2 partitions. Use one partition type Ext3 or Ext2.

That's is wrong information. Medion P89654 uses 88F6702 SoC, which is the same as the Pogo V4 or NSA310S/320S.

Negative. You are going to a wrong direction there.

What you should do is figure out why this error occurred:

Quote

USB: scanning bus for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
Waiting for storage device(s) to settle before scanning...
0 Storage Device(s) found
USB part made:
print_part of 0
## Unknown partition table

print_part of 1
## Unknown partition table

print_part of 2
## Unknown partition table

print_part of 3
## Unknown partition table

print_part of 4
## Unknown partition table

This bootlog indicated that the USB is supported (it was scanning). And somehow the partition table is unrecognized on this USB drive. So there is no storage drive.

So do this test. Power up, interrupt serial console and

usb start
usb part
ext2ls usb 0:1 /boot
If you can list the content of the /boot folder on the rootfs at u-boot prompt, then the partition is good. If not, then the partition is bad (or unrecognized).

If somehow this u-boot does not support Ext3 (I'd doubt this is the case), then just recreate the rootfs and use a single Ext2 partition will work.

It seems that when I reset it, the partition won't be recognized again until I reset the NAS...strange...

saschbaer,

Very good. It means that Ext3 or Ext2 will work. And there is nothing wrong with your USB partition.

It seems stock u-boot is messed up in reinitializing the USB drive. The 2nd "usb start" caused problem.

Try running it step by step

Power up, interrupt serial console and:

setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200'
setenv usb_load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv usb_load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
run set_bootargs
usb start
usb part
run usb_load_uimage
run usb_load_uinitrd
bootm 0x800000 0x1100000

saschbaer,

Cool! so that was the problem with USB on this stock u-boot all along :) this u-boot is quite old.

Let's try with earlyprink:

setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk=serial'
setenv usb_load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv usb_load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
run set_bootargs
usb start
usb part
run usb_load_uimage
run usb_load_uinitrd
bootm 0x800000 0x1100000
