Trying to revive a Netgear Stora MS2000
December 26, 2020 04:38PM
Hi,
So I have been trying to resurrect my old Netgear Stora MS2000 for a couple of nights now and can't really get it to work and I'm a little bit stuck on how to proceed, this is the log from my serial console if i just boot the MS2000 as is

Basically it's fakked... so i downloaded the latest U-boot uboot.2017.07-tld-1.netgear_ms2110.mtd0.kwb and managed to boot the MS2000 with the help of kwboot. I created a USB-stick with Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi and go this far with the bootup... 

root@spiderman:/home/linkus/Downloads/kwboot-tool# ./kwboot -t /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.netgear_ms2110.mtd0.kwb -p

And now i dont really know how to proceed, it feels like im missing something? I think i also would like to flash a new U-boot for it since its well a heap of poo right now, but am i correct that you need a booted kernel on the device to be able to actually flash a new U-boot? Or have i compleatly missread the guide somehow?

Thanks ALOT in advance this ha been a good practice so far

Yes, the u-boot installation steps were written to be excuted inside a running OS. It could be stock, or Debian, ...any distro. But not at serial console.

What you did above was correct. But this variable is wrong (might be my typo, I have to check u-boot internal source code), so the kernel could not proceed booting 
dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-netgear_stora_ms2000

So kwboot again, and interrupt serial console 

setenv dtb_file  '/boot/dts/kirkwood-netgear_stora_ms2000.dtb'
printenv
boot

See now it will boot all the way into Debian.

Hey bodhi thanks for the reply however no luck, log down below, i also realized i built my USB-stick on a older rootfs I am now trying with Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi still issues tho.

linkus,

You did Step 4, but should not, during the rootfs creation, since you're booting with the new u-boot:

Quote

4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Do not do this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time).

Please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box (see the folder /media/sdb1/boot/dts for the exact spelling of your Kirkwood box name).

Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside:
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync


If you did, then mount it on another Linux box and restore uImage: 
cp -a  uImage.orig uImage

Yeah i never built the rootfs i just downloaded the premade one (that is linked in the "Linux Kernel 5.9.12 Kirkwood package and Debian rootfs" thread) Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi, so i did just that and skipped step 4 aswell.

linkus,

At some point you've changed the bootcmd so it is wrong currently: 
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(console) root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=8; run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x200000 0x800000

So,

1. Make sure the rootfs is unchanged (skip Step 4).

2. Restore bootcmd in serial console, 

setenv bootcmd 'run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec'
setenv dtb_file  '/boot/dts/kirkwood-netgear_stora_ms2000.dtb'
printenv
boot

after it booted, you can proceed to flash u-boot image and its env image.
