Pogoplug Mobile Debian Install

Boot default Pogoplug OS when USB/SD Card not attached

Note that this section only works on a new unmodified Pogoplug. It assumes the command are all executed from within the default Pogoplug OS and not from Arch Linux or Debian.

If you previously installed the uBoot from archlinuxarm.org and/or already running ALARM or Debian, use these instructions instead - Pogoplug v4 - Add option to boot default Pogoplug OS when USB/SD Card is Not Attached.

To boot the default Pogoplug OS, we will need to chain load the original (dockstar) uboot which we'll download and store on the internal flash. The boot order will be USB, MMC/SD, SATA (Series 4 only) and then last, the original uBoot which will then load the default Pogoplug OS.

Don't forget that you'll need to activate the Pogoplug on my.pogoplug.com if you plan on SSHing into the default Pogoplug OS.

#remount '/' as read/write
mount -o remount,rw /

#download original uboot
cd /
wget http://download.doozan.com/uboot/files/uboot/uboot.mtd0.dockstar.original.kwb

#update boot order to include pogoplug OS
/tmp/fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_usb; run bootcmd_mmc; run bootcmd_sata; run bootcmd_pogo; reset'

#chain load original uboot
/tmp/fw_setenv bootcmd_pogo 'if ubi part root 2048 && ubifsmount ubi:rootfs && ubifsload 0x800000 uboot.mtd0.dockstar.original.kwb ; then go 0x800200; fi'

To restore it later when needed, use the same command that I have in the instruction in the first post. For example:

cd /media/mmcblk0p1
tar -xjf /media/sda1/my-rootfs.tar.bz2
