HP 5325 ethernet stopped working

When I connect a screen, mouse and keyboard it shows the device booting into the stock OS so re-flashing the chip with the original uboot etc. has been successful. Unfortunately the ethernet connection doesn't work so that indicates that there is a hardware problem with my device. Thanks everyone for the advice and contributions.

Regards,

Koen

You did it the hard way! perhaps that is wrong and that caused problem. There is no need to use programmer on rPi.

Try booting into Debian on USB like before with kwboot and then flash the mtds using flashcp. See the installation thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,26562

For example, to flash u-boot image


4. Flash u-boot to mtd3 

cd /tmp/sdb1/boot
flash_unlock /dev/mtd3
flashcp -v uboot.2017.07-tld-1.t5325.mtd0.kwb   /dev/mtd3

Use that example above to flash other mtds.

Hi bodhi,

I tried that but got confused since the mtd definition in Debian is different than in stock. And even the mtd definition in stock is numbered differently than the order they appear on the chip. So I ended up bricking the device and had to switch to flashing the chip using my raspberry pi. Luckily there was a stock dmesg in the original thread which helped me work out the order of the different mtd partitions on the chip. The device boots back to stock so the flash seems to have worked OK.

I've had a good look at the board and one of the tiny surface mount components next the the ethernet port looks a bit suspect. This is way too small for me to try to replace and I've got enough other boxes to play with. If I come across a cheap usb wifi dongle I may turn it into a internet radio someday.

Hi Koen,

That's good to hear, in a way. Now we know that it was a hardware problem.

@fortis,
You can do the same as Koen did. Booting back to stock and see if ethernet working?

Hi bodhi,

I'm not sure if I can boot back to stock without flashing back to original uboot.

I tried doing as you suggest but got error on the unlock.

fortis,

flash_unlock seems to have problem with error message. It should just be silent when the flash was not lock.

Just go ahead and run flashcp to flash the backup image.

Went ahead and flash mtd0 and mtd3, still unable to get IP.

Booting back into stock, I seem to lost logging on the console

fortis,


1. Lost console during kernel booting is because the bootargs env for that was not set (this box is to be used with a display and kerboard)

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda1 rw init=/init video=xgifb splash quiet

Boot up, interrupt serial console at countdown

Net:   egiga0 [PRIME], egiga1
Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

If you want to do so, look at the current envs. And you need to add console env to bootargs to see serial log during kernel booting.
printenv

But the purpose is to test ethernet, so may be we don't care much about this.

2. To test ethernet to see if it was even available in u-boot, ping the router at the prompt (replace xx.xx.xx.xx with your router IP address):

ping xx.xx.xx.xx

Very good :)

Now I would like you to do the same in u-boot console: setenv and dhcp..., but with kwboot using the latest u-boot.

fortis,

That's is strange. It is possible that your box has a different network chip

88E3016 Initialized on egiga0
The above is just that. Even with a different chip, but if the PHY address is the same, it would show no error. So that message cannot be replied upon to tell that the NIC has been successful initialized.

On my box, u-boot console has no problem doing ping. So the networkchip is definitely 88E3016.

At this point, rather than try to get to the bottom of this which will be time consuming, I think you migh need to do the envs setup to boot Debian with stock u-boot. At least, you can then use this box that way.

bodi,

I can use your u-boot with a with a USB wifi adapter, or if it's not too much I could try the env setup on stock u-boot to boot Debian.

I wouldn't want to take too much more of your time on this, I'm sure you have other boxes you want to get to.

Thanks again for all your help.

fortis,

In retrospect, what we did was just academic! trying to fix problem.

This box NIC is 100Mbs. So regarding file transfer, it is quite slow comparing to other Kirkwood boxes. Even with USB 2.0 Gbits adapter, I think it is much faster. USB 2.0 wifi adapter is quite cheap, but you can also get USB 2.0 Gbits Ethernet adapter from Monoprice for around US $10 :) I think that'll run faster than this box NIC even with the 300Mbs limitation of USB 2.0 bus.

I'm using this box as a helper in the build farm, so I don't need network speed, 100Mbs is more than adequate for me.

bodhi,

I just restored the latest u-boot to the box and booting with usb wifi adapter.
It doesn't hurt to have a couple USB Ethernet adapter on hand, so I'll pick up a couple cheap ones later.

Thanks again.
