Yes it will! My 2014.07 u-boot is a drop-in replacement for the 2011 (davygravy) u-boot. Your current u-boot envs should work exactly the same same way as before.

@bodhi,

thanks very much for confirming! Will try as soon as i go home and try!
Another quick question: i saw that your U-BOOT supports ext4 rootfs. I preparerd a sata drive with first partition named 'rootfs' and ext4 filesystem, but seeing netconsole messages, i saw error messages that it couldn't find /boot/kernel and /boot/uImage. I didn't have time to dig deeper at the time. I changed accordingly rootfstype to ext4, edited properly /etc/fstab but no luck. I can't recall though seeing the 'usb_root LABEL=rootfs' when doing 'fw_printenv |grep rootfs'. Could this be the case?

denexo,

Not exactly! loading the kernel uImage/uInitrd and mounting rootfs are 2 different phases in booting. Just so happen that the rootfs is on an Ext4 partition (therefore uImage and uInitrd are on /boot of that partition).

1. uImage and uInitrd loading: instead of ex2tload, use ext4load, see if it behaves differently:

ext4load usb 0:1 /boot/uImage
ext4load usb 0:1 /boot/uInitrd

or

ext4load ide 0:1 /boot/uImage
ext4load ide 0:1 /boot/uInitrd

2. rootfs label parameter is relevant only on kernel bootargs (it does not come in to play in loading kernel):

setenv bootagrs .........   root=LABEL=rootfs  ........

bodhi,

it was very explanatory! Will try later on this day. So from what i understand i will have to interrupt the boot and then try the ext4load.

bodhi,

i got a bit lazy and didn't try the ext4load option... I reformatted the disk to ext3 and everything worked fine. I also managed to properly edit the boot envs (by checking the kept backup) and got the nand rescue system working. I might try to check ext4 rootfs loading with a spare hdd i have.

installed the Uboot 2013-10 for Zyxel 325, flashed the envs you provided, restored the envs you say that must be restored, moved the initrd and uimage files in /boot folder. rootfs is ext4.

this is my enviroment (did some changes like making ext4load and changing rootfs partition)

@ bobafetthotmail,

Looks like it failed in loading uImage and uInitrd:

sata_load_uimage=ext4load ide $device 0x800000 /boot/uImage
sata_load_uinitrd=ext4load ide $device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd

To troubleshoot this, at serial console:

NSA325 > ide reset
NSA325> ide info
NSA325> ide part
NSA325> ext4ls ide 0:1 /boot

Please post output of the above commands.

The idea is to see if the hard disk and /boot partition was indeed assigned 0:1. This is because your $device is defined as:

device=0:1

ty for the tip. The main partition was dev/sda2 (I just deleted the /dev/sda1), so it was not 0:1.
did some image-repartition-restore and now it is /dev/sda1 and boots debian fine.

It seems it should be able to boot also arch or linux without uInitrd without making modifications, is that correct?

Now I'm just wondering why the nand boot (booting original firmware) fails... saying this

The error message above was because of mmc boot, for booting SD card (not NAND boot). You should remove it from the bootcmd. Mmc was included in the default env to cover all possible storage devices. But it is not needed in thix box.

And yes, it should boot Arch fine with the current envs.

Hi,
I have a pogo e02, and wrote image to NAND by following the instruction, ther is no any error during the writting.
I also create Linux Kernel 3.17 (FDT) on a usb flash, and plug to the usb, after reboot, I do not see any message output from netconsole server. The light on pogo plug turns to green, but there is no connection(ip), i can't access the pogo.

I tried to remove usb flash, and restart pogo, the light keeps flashing yellow, and there is no connection.

is it a brick now ?

suo_jian,

Did you upgrade the kernel on an existing rootfs, or create a brand new rootfs?

> and plug to the usb, after reboot, I do not

Your envs for netconsole look OK. How did you run nc server? from a Windows, Mac, or Linux box? the netcat (nc) programs on other OS might be not working properly. You can try different nc versions to see if any behave differently from another.

You don't need the rw.

It's a very good sign that it turned green.

No, it's not bricked.

When the LED is flashing and eventually turns solid green, it means the kernel has been loaded OK. Now the box might get stuck at mounting the roots. Quickest way to trouble shoot is the create a brand new rootfs using Ext3. Download the basic rootfs if you have not done so from the kernel/rootfs thread

Updated 31 Oct 2014: 
Rootfs Debian-3.17.0-kirkwood-tld-1

After booting into Debian, you can then troubleshoot easily from Linux.

1. Did you upgrade the kernel on an existing rootfs, or create a brand new rootfs?

I create brand new rootfs.

2.Your envs for netconsole look OK. How did you run nc server? from a Windows, Mac, or Linux box? the netcat (nc) programs on other OS might be not working properly. You can try different nc versions to see if any behave differently from another.

I run it on a ubuntu(14.04.1 LTS) vm in a mac os :), the ubuntu vm's ip is 192.168.1.78.
the command i run is nc -l -u -p 6666
The version info is:
This is nc from the netcat-openbsd package. An alternative nc is available
in the netcat-traditional package.

I can apt-get apt-get netcat and have a try.

3. You don't need the rw.
well, I can't connect to pogo box, so no way to change it now.

4. When the LED is flashing and eventually turns solid green, it means the kernel has been loaded OK. Now the box might get stuck at mounting the roots. Quickest way to trouble shoot is the create a brand new rootfs using Ext3. Download the basic rootfs if you have not done so from the kernel/rootfs thread

yes, it's brand new rootfs from Debian-3.17.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 , and I format it by using ext3, it's 8G usb flash, the command i use is mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
Btw, all rootfs/format are done in the ubuntu vm since mac can't write to ext3 easily....

another information, I have archlinux rootfs as well, when I plug it to pogoplug, it turns to solid green as well but without connection.

Oh, i pretty sure the debian rootfs works fine. I have another e02 without 2014.07 U-Boot image flush, it runs archlinux , and I just plugin the debian rootfs usb drive, it can start without any problem.

Yes, you need to run netcat-traditional.

This is fine, I do exactly this very often on a MacBook Pro.

I'm sure your problem is easy to see once netconsole is working.

Check your nc command. The correct command is:

Hi bodhi,
Checked with new command, still no message shown, is it possible the nc message is not sent to 192.168.1.78, but somewhere else?

Ah! it was reversed in u-boot envs :)

serverip=192.168.1.78
ipaddr=192.168.1.76
if_netconsole=ping 192.168.1.78
start_netconsole=setenv ncip 192.168.1.78; setenv bootdelay 10; setenv stdin nc; setenv stdout nc; setenv stderr nc; version;
preboot=run if_netconsole start_netconsole

serverip is your listening server, ipaddr is your Pogo. So on your listening server (if it is set to 192.168.1.78), then:

nc -lup 6666 192.168.1.76 6666

Tried, nc -lup 6666 192.168.1.76 6666 on 192.168.1.78, still no messages print. It may be the time to order a serial cable.

Good idea, but while you are waiting for serial,
- on server start pinging the pogo
ping 192.168.1.76

- power up the pogo
- if the pogo netconsole is running then you should see it responds to a few pings. If no response then either the network problem, or neconsole is not running at all.

Hi Bodhi,

just wanted to say thank you because this new uboot has brought a new life to my PP4s.
Now I can reboot consistently (no matter which devices I have plugged in), I have NTP enabled (and services are not starting in 1970 anymore) and I have netconsole working (well, hoping I'll never need it!).

Thanks again!

It is best to set baud rate, parity,... explicitly. See varkey's setup:

Hi Bodhi,

I've flashed uboot with your uboot file for my pogoplug e02. I did until step A and rebooted.
After that, I can't connect my pogoplug via SSH. I tried to boot with USB which contains Debian linux (I used it with older uboot by Doozan), but it failed.

Followings are my netconsole dialog when pogoplug is booted with USB.

Thank you.

gunjaekoo,

Does the LED lit solid green? do you use static IP address? netconsole only shows that much, nothing more, unless you set it up further. All I can suggest is:

- Take the USB to another box and do fsck to make sure there is no file system error.

- If there was no error, perhaps try rootfs label approach:

1. Take the USB to another Linux box, mount it and label the rootfs (if it is mounted as /media/sdb1):

tune2fs -L rootfs /media/sdb1
sync

Then, umount the USB drive.

2. Plug in the USB to the Pogo. Boot up, interrupt netconsole, and:

setenv usb_init "run usb_scan; setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs" 
boot

Hi Bodhi,

Thank you for your reply. (I'm gunjaekoo...)
I tried to set label and also change environment for usb_init. But, pogoplug doesn't work eigher.
Yes. The light is green consistantly.

BTW, when I checked bad blocks,

root@debian:~# dmesg | grep -i 'bad'
[    9.336843] Scanning device for bad blocks
[    9.345723] Bad eraseblock 45 at 0x0000005a0000

But, I believe it is out of 1M area for uboot. Right?

gunjae,

Right, it is way out, higher than 1M. Besides, your u-boot in NAND has booted until after the kernel was loaded successfully, and solid green LED means kernel was loaded and starting. So it is not u-boot. The remaining possible problems are bootargs and rootfs mounting. And your bootargs look OK. So for whatever reason, the rootfs mounting could have been unsuccessful.

If you have another USB drive, try download the latest rootfs and format the drive as ext2 or ext3 (does not matter), and boot with it (this is to verify that your u-boot is working OK):

Hi bodhi,

I booted the pogoplug successfully with new rootfs of 3.14 linux kernel after I wrote a new fresh image on another thumb drive. Strangely, I failed to boot with the same image which I tested on the old u-boot environment but I succeeded with the new fresh image. I don't know why.

I really appreciate your help.

Gunjae
