Zyxel NSA325 questions (uboot)

Hi there!

I've been testing the debian install like documented here in the forums on my NSA325. I've got a serial connection and was successful in running

./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.nsa325.mtd0.kwb -p

with an attached USB stick prepared with the Debian kirkwood rootfs. So I could test the whole thing, without modifying the original setup.

What I noticed: without an USB stick the new U-Boot does not boot the original stock firmware, but does a reset. I have quite some experience with Linux on Intel systems, but this the first time dealing with the ARM and embedded world. The hardware configuration of these systems seems not being done via hardware scanning, but by using a "device tree" and U-Boot seems responsible initializing the hardware and then starting the linux kernel.

My first question: if I update to a new U-Boot, how can I start the stock firmware? And maybe switch between booting from the internal flash and from USB / disk.

Second question: I've seen several "fw_setenv" commands in the guides here, which set env variables for U-Boot, but I'd like to get more knowledge what's going on. Probably some values are being passed to the Linux kernel, but some also must control the behavior of U-Boot. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

No, currently it is not possible to boot back to stock FW after you've installed the new u-boot. It might be possible in the future, if I run out of things to do on my list, and have time to play with it a bit. But this has a very low priority.

In u-boot, the command is setenv. In Linux, the command is fw_setenv. They do the same thing. But setenv will not save the envs permanently, until you do saveenv. fw_setenv will change the env and save it at the same time.

So to test various settings, setenv should be used in u-boot prompt. Since it is transient, if you reset the box (with u-boot reset command), or cycle power, then every thing will be back to the way it was. And then when you are sure to want to keep the envs change, you would do saveenv.

In my u-boot installation instruction, only fw_setenv was used. This has a purpose: no serial console needed, and it is only possible to use fw_setenv if your current system configuration is already what need to be.

Thx bodhi,

I'm looking for a way to reset the box the original firmware state, if anything goes wrong. Later yesterday evening I found the command printenv which dumps all the env settings which are currently set.

I've recorded both the stock env settings and the settings of the 2017.07 U-Boot (see below). If I understood things correctly, it should be possible to switch back to the stock firmware by applying the stock U-Boot env settings. Right? Or are the different versions of U-Boot no longer compatible regarding the commands involved?

So, if I create two scripts: one for setting the stock U-Boot env setting and one for booting from USB / disk this could solve the above problem.

The only problem could be, that each setup has slightly different keys. But does this matter?

No, it will not work.

The difference is not in the command set or the envs. The difference betweek stock u-boot and new u-boot is structural.

The new u-boot set up its registers, memory,... etc to run a mainline kernel. Stock u-boot is set up to run this NSA325 stock kernel, a customed kernel 2.6.xx running on busybox.

Hi all,

after setup the tftp server (tfpt64) in Windows10 and download the u-boot.kwb I did the following steps :

Marvell>> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2
Marvell>> setenv serverip 192.168.1.101
Marvell>> Marvell>>tftpboot 0x800000 uboot.kwb
Marvell>> nand erase 0x0 0x100000
Marvell>> tftpboot 0x800000 uboot.kwb
Marvell>> nand write 0x800000 0x0 0x80000

It seems everything are ok, but after I put the command:

Marvell>> reset

no output can be seen in the serial terminal. I need urgent help.
how can I have the access to the NSA 325?

Thank you in advance
Multivan

Multivan,

Where did you download this u-boott.kwb (what version is this), stock u-boot or one of my new u-boot releases?

I did the following

Don't flash u-boot image in serial console without verifying the current running u-boot supports it and the envs are correct for the NAND flash to be visible.

> how can I have the access to the NSA 325?

To recover from it, connect serial console. And you need another Linux box to run the serial console module converter. And then follow the instruction in this post:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,51739,51919#msg-51919

Once you can boot with kwboot, it is unbricked. And then go from there to consider installing Debian, or try to restore stock u-boot.

Hi Bodhi,

Thank You very much for your quick response.

I manage to install the ubuntu on my PC. I download the files from your link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zlgzv27d7d42tfv/uboot.2023.04-tld-1.nsa325.bodhi.tar

I use my PC and send the command to NSA325:

Ubuntu> kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2023.04-tld-1.nsa325.kwb -p

After the the NSA325 is unbricked, should I flash the NAND with this uboot.2023.04-tld-1.nsa325.kwb, again, with the following commands from the USB Stick?

NSA325> usb reset
NSA325> fatload usb 0 0x1000000 u-boot.kwb
NSA325> nand erase 0x0 0x100000
NSA325> nand write 0x1000000 0x00000 0x100000
NSA325> reset

What about the remaining files from your the pakage above from your links?

Asks Multivan

Multivan,

You did not answer my question above.

Where did you download this u-boott.kwb (what version is this), stock u-boot or one of my new u-boot releases?

Answer; I use your uboot for kwboot and it works:

I see. You wants to run OpenWrt. Have you installed it before on this box?

1. If you want to run both OpenWrt (from NAND) and Debian (from USB) then see this post:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,86219

2. If you have installed OpenWrt on this box and now just want to restore the corrupted u-boot, then kwboot with the u-boot.kwb (from https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0/targets/kirkwood/generic/u-boot-nsa325/). And then boot into OpenWrt. After that, you can flash the u-boot.kwb image from inside OpenWrt.

If you are not sure, then you probably want to do 1 above.

Bodhi,

first of all, thank you very much for your support.

After I download the u-boot.kwb from:
https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.0/targets/kirkwood/generic/u-boot-nsa325/
and
the openwrt from this links:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.5/targets/kirkwood/generic/openwrt-22.03.5-kirkwood-zyxel_nsa325-squashfs-factory.bin

copied both to the USB stick and plug it in the rear USB port of NSA325.

Using the kwboot to boot the NSA325 and flash the NAND according to:

usb start
usb reset
fatload usb 0 0x1000000 u-boot.kwb
nand erase 0x0 0x100000
nand write 0x1000000 0x00000 0x100000
reset
setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:0x00c0000(uboot),0x80000(uboot_env),0x7ec0000(ubi)'
setenv bootcmd 'run setenv bootargs; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000'
saveenv

setenv ethaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

usb reset
fatload usb 0 0x2000000 nsa325.bin
nand erase.part ubi
nand write 0x2000000 ubi 0x600000
reset

The first restart seems ok. openwrt is running.
but after the cold start (power plug out and in) the uboot seem does not work properly.
The uboot stops :

NAS325>

Openwrt is not up.

after I send the reset command from terminal windows uboot continues and openwrt is up.
Do you have and Idea why the start process stops ?

Powerup, interrupt serial consle and,

printenv
boot

And post the entire serial console log here (copy/paste everything on the terminal).

What do you expect ? NSA325 doesn't have DHCP client as default settings - you have to change it.
Here you have important information:

Multivan: Yes indeed it look ok now, but I do not want to send the boot command each time after and cold start.
my expectation is the NSA325 will reach to this state, automatically, after a cold start is performed.

So I think that we need logs for "cold start" when it didn't start. Maybe you already provided ?

Multivan,

Looks normal. Now shutdown, power up and let it boot without interruption. And post entire the serial boot log here.
