problem with uboot on NSA325v2
March 23, 2020 09:58AM
Hello Bohdi,

I have a NSA325v2 with u-boot version 1.1.4:

__ __ _ _

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Jul 18 2013 - 10:47:29) Marvell version: 3.5.9

U-Boot code: 00600000 -> 0067FFF0 BSS: -> 006CFB00

Soc: 88F6282 A1CPU running @ 1600Mhz L2 running @ 533Mhz
SysClock = 533Mhz , TClock = 200Mhz

DRAM CS[0] base 0x00000000 size 512MB
DRAM Total size 512MB 16bit width
Addresses 10M - 0M are saved for the U-Boot usage.
Mem malloc Initialization (10M - 7M): Done
NAND:128 MB
Flash: 0 kB

CPU : Marvell Feroceon (Rev 1)
Kernel address is 0xc80000.


So I want to update it but the uboot device /dev/mtd0 isn't writable (by default, I think).
I have badblock on that device too:

Do have an idea, how I can erase (and flash) it?

diet,

The bad blocks are OK. They are not in the 1st MB where u-boot is.

Interrupt serial console at countdown and get the listing of envs

And post the entire serial console log here.

Sorry for the "noise" about u-boot.
In the meantime I got the new u-boot (after "resetting" the firmware to the origin).

But now i have another problem:

The envoronment seems okay for me:

Thank you for your help
Re: problem with uboot on NSA325v2

You are missing the rootfs volume label on the drive. Take the disk to another Linux system and plug it in and then run:
lsblk -f

This should help you to identify which device is the disk you just plugged in. You then need to run the following command based on what your disk was identified as. My example assumes it was identified as sdb and your file system is the first partition sdb1.

e2label /dev/sdb1 rootfs

You should now safely eject the disk and take it back to the NSA25 and try again.

Most likely what Ray said!

Furthermore, you've cut out the most important part in the serial console bootlog:

That's why I always insist to see the full bootlog. Don't abbreviate the log, it takes very little space in the forum.

Re: problem with uboot on NSA325v2
March 27, 2020 05:57AM
Maybe I found my problem (reading the thread 'Linux Kernel 5.5.1 Kirkwood package and Debian rootfs' again):

I have no idea what I can do without a running armel device (the NSA is my only device) with step 3 (dpkg -i linux-image-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb), so I skipped this step and I think this was my fault.

I there any way to do this step on a x86-system (maybe untarring data.tar.xz and doing all the things by hand which are in control.tar.xz)?

Uff.-(

No need to have armel device. You just follow the instruction and use the rootfs tarball Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 to create the rootfs using your x86 system.

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

And boot with this Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 rootfs.

After you are successfully booted, the system is running OK, then upgrade the kernel while the NSA325 box is running.

There is no need to worry about the kernel linux-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 until after you have your box running.

I mentiond this in the release thread:

Quote

Note: If this is your first time installation, then you need rootfs Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (this has kernel linux-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 already installed). Please scroll down to 25 Aug 2019 section for download link and installation instruction.

Now I have a running 5.5.1 kernel in a bulleye system (that's what I wanted.-)

I think I made some steps in a wrong order.-(

Keep well and fit

Re: problem with uboot on NSA325v2

But now I found out how slow this device is.-(

with nfs I get ~ 35 MB/s (write speed)

with scp (to the NSA) only ~ 10 MB/s (the same scp to a laptop gives me ~ 50 GB/s)

Allthough the HD shows (with hdparm -t) ~ 124.46 MB/sec and
ethtool shows Speed: 1000Mb/s (which are ~ 125 MB/s)

I think this device is too slow for my requisitions.-)
Is it the CPU or the minimal memory (512 MB), which slows it down?
Re: problem with uboot on NSA325v2

Dieter,

Samba and NFS needs to be tuned to get the real performance. The basic rootfs I released is a very basic system and has no tuning done for it.

Look at the Wiki thread for some benchmark numbers to see they match with what you see on your box. One immediate improvement you can make is Increase "NFSD max_block_size".

This NFS tuning subject is something I've been avoid to do it myself. We have many experienced users in this forum, but nobody cares enough (or has the time to do it) to try and write a tutorial.

I don't want to stop building kernels and spend my free time on this subject :) But perhaps I need to.

I do wish there was a definitive guide for optimal file transfers between low CPU/RAM devices. I see similar questions from time to time but don't have a good answer to provide anyone.

It seems like there is some sort of upper limit in the range you're seeing though I haven't identified what it is exactly.

There was a pretty good one. I need to find the link to that site. I recall I saved it somewhere.

I remember it wrong! that was network tuning only. And we don't have any network performance problem with my built kernel (I use network config from Debian and did not change any parameters).

As of right now, Samba is probably faster than NFS, ironically :), because we aleady have tuning specifics in smb.conf.
