2017.07- 2024.10 U-Boot Kirkwood

I've re-uploaded 2013.10-tld-2 u-Boot images for GoFlexNet, GoFlex Home and Pogo E02. And I also uploaded 2013.10-tld-2 u-Boot images for Dockstar and iConnect.

Thanks for the quick fix. Works like a charm on my GoflexNet.

The update works nicely for ext4 rootfs.

I have run in to an issue with one of my GFH units that I could use some advice on. The unit in question works perfectly with one exception, if I modify a parameter (i.e. boot order), then issue saveenv changes are saved. When I issue reset the unit hangs indefinitely. The other two units I updated do not exhibit this behavior. To recover, I power off the unit, remove the HDD, disconnect the NIC and restart the base unit. After some time flashing green goes to flashing orange then to solid green. I reconnect the NIC wait a few seconds and low and behold I have network connectivity to the rescue system (v 2.82). I then modify uboot parameters stderr stdin and stdout from nc to serial (not sure how I stumbled on to that but it works). I then power off the unit reattach the HDD and power up the unit. Netconsole works fine and the unit boots normally. The behavior is the same if using a USB to boot.

I've reverted back to the previous doozan uboot used with kirkwood. Worked perfectly. Ran the update to U-Boot 2013.10 (Feb 21 2014 - 19:48:46)-tld-2 again only to have the same issue with rebooting after modifying uboot.

If anyone has thoughts on this issue please let me know. The upside, the unit is usable and I have a work around albeit convoluted. :)

Do these have the same u-Boot? if they do, then for the hanged unit, you should post the dmesg log before, and the u-Boot log while it booted until hanged (with printenv right after the serial console if you did connect that way).

Was the hanged GFH running with UBIT before you install the new u-Boot?

There are many possible causes, we will need the log to see what's going on.

If I did not mention it before, there were NO errors updating any of these units.

The unit that hangs was NOT running UBIT before installing the new u-Boot. The previous version was
U-Boot 2011.12 (Apr 18 2012 - 23:08:20)
Seagate GoFlexNet

GNU ld (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) 2.19.51.20090709

The 3 units updated are running: U-Boot 2013.10 (Feb 21 2014 - 19:48:46)-tld-2.

For the unit that hangs, this is all that gets logged before I power down:

The following is what gets logged with network cable attached BEFORE modifying any u-Boot parameters:

WorldwoWires,

I am not sure what you are trying to do? why saveenv in netconsole prompt? can you boot with USB into debian with this box? if you can then do fw_setenv inside Debian, would that work? (you do not need to saveenv in uBoot, if you can boot into Debian). This is crucial to avoid mistakes, alway boot with a temporary set of uBoot envs, and then if everything went OK, redo it in Debian with fw_setenv.

How about doing this:
- boot back to Debian like you were able to before
- In Debian, install new uBoot.
- Verify netconsole envs are still intact.
- Before rebooting, get the output of fw_printenv and save it to the USB/SATA drive. Also, output of uname -a
- Start netconsole server on the other box
- Reboot this box, and interrupt netconsole, setenv whatever you like, get the final version of printenv output and save it. Don't do saveenv.
- boot with the USB/SATA boot drive still attached.

If it does not boot into Debian then post the final version of printenv output and post here.

It is my understanding, in order to save environment variable changes from an interrupted netconsole session one must use saveenv.

fw_printenv and fw_setenv are not available.

The only change I ever typically make is to the bootcmd . Changing the boot order.

If this is a procedure that you don't use to make environment changes please let me know. This is how I've always made changes to the u-Boot environment and it works perfectly on my other GFH units.

If I should be making environment changes from within Arch Linux with fw_setenv, please let me know.

That being said, for THIS unit only, when I issue reset after making a change to the u-Boot environment, at this point it hangs. All that is logged is:

GoFlexHome> reset
r e s e t
resetting ...

My assumption is there is something wonky when reestablishing the network connection.

If it's a matter of procedure, I don't have a problem with changing the way I make changes. In any event, there is still some weird issue with this particular GFH unit. All three have identical u-Boot environments with the exception of the ethaddr.


Hopefully this provides clarification to what I am doing and how I go about it.

Thanks again.

You can install uboot-envtools while in Debian/Arch to make fw_setenv and fw_printenv available.

It's definite Yes! doing so is better because you would know the u-boot envs you have changed are working correctly before committing to save them.

The only thing I'd comment about your setup is you're running Arch, therefore without initrd. So you can't use disk label to help the booting process. For example

setenv sata_root LABEL=rootfs

It is a bittle more cumbersome, so you should have ony 1 disk that contains a rootfs. Also in your case, it is set to sda1. So if the non-rootfs disk was spun up faster then it would get sda1, and the booting is stuck.

I'm not saying anything is wrong. Just some point to consider when you have problem booting with SATA.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'm all about procedure and if there is a better way to do it, I'm all for it! Using uboot-env tools is much simpler and straightforward. Plus it eliminates the weird NIC issue that would occur modifying uBoot via netconsole. Still an issue but for now not an issue.

I use LABEL on my GoFlex Net device that I mirrored. This is also the only device regularly booting from USB.

The only other issue I would like to resolve is mounting an EXT4 partition from the rescue system. A project for a different day.

Thanks again for the assistance.

Please help, 'cause I don't want to mess up my Pogoplug ...

jadefalcon100,

The installation assumes the current U-Boot on your Pogoplug is what Jeff's script installed.That has the U-Boot env already at 0xC0000. So there would be no CRC error.

- Which U-Boot version did you have before the installation?
- Can you connect with netconsole or serial console before, and now?

EDITED: typo.

Hi Bodhi,

I had Jeff's original uboot installed (the one from the script on http://projects.doozan.com/debian/)
Don't ask me about the Version Number. ;-)

NetConsole worked fine before flashing, I haven't tried booting after flashing because of your warning not to boot after something went wrong.
Additionally I don't have a serial cable for SC.

Maybe I missed a point in my first post. I think I ran "flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0 0 4" instead of "flash_erase" with something like "[...] 87% complete [...]" because I forgot the "/usr/sbin/" prefix. Does I matter somehow?

Kind Regards,

Jade,
I'm afraid so, you've erased your u-boot envs with that typo! /usr/bin was not a problem, flash_eraseall wiped out the entire mtd0, which is where u-boot envs are stored. So it was wise that you did not reboot :) I will find the post where I have the instruction to recover from this problem.

Damn.

After flashing I added the net console commands into env and rebooted the plug
But netconsole is quiet and the front led is not blinking.
The only sign of life is the ethernet port blinking three times every 5 seconds.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: After checking fw_printing I think ethaddr is missing...
Any hope of recovery? :'(



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/17/2014 04:03PM by jadefalcon100.

Jade,

If the ethaddr is not defined, then the kernel won't bring up ethernet network. But the kernel should boot OK. Just that you don't have network connection. The best way to recover is to connect serial console.

Since we can count on the fact that the uBoot image flashing was successful, and you have a sane u-Boot envs, except for MAC address, there might be a "soft" way to recover (I'm thinking out loud here): Perhaps a patched kernel which temporarily assigns a local MAC address if it is all 0's, would allow the ethernet to be brought up OK.

In any case, if you want to take this opportunity of get serial console working then do that because it would be the best way. Because it would take very little effort to connect serial console on the Pogo E02. It always has the serial header already installed (to my knowledge). It would take time to purchase, unless you can borrow one or have a Nokia CA42 cable already.

See this thread for serial console:

Hi. I have Iomega ix4-200d device. I've just broke original u-boot and now playing with device. I write u-boot from similar device and able to boot via uart and console. I have hardware issues (wrong memory reported, may-be other).
I tested images you provide and device loads it via uart. But, they all had non-compatible hardware hardcoded, i think.


Here some info i've found:
it's has same HW as ix2-200, which is much popular. (except memory size and cpu freq)
Here is GPL stuff
Here is some info about similar ix2-200

Can you please make u-boot for my device?

It's true. U-Boot must be built for specific hardware device. However, the StorCenter is also a Kirwood 88F6281, so you can UART-boot with other U-Boot Kirkwood 88F6281. Of course it will not bring up correct memory, SATA ports, and/or ethernet in some cases.

What you should do is Google for the patch, i.e. board file. If you can find an old version of the patch, I will then retrofit it for current U-Boot. Without some starting point, it will be quite time consuming to create a new patch. I'm afraid I don't have enough free time to do that!

Hi. Thank you for your attention.
Here what i found:
I found thread on this forum
kernel patch to support sensors and buttons ix2-200
Kernel patch for ix4-200d
In GPL archive i've found that u-boot is building as "make rd88f6281a_config LE=1 NBOOT=1" (u-boot sources is there)

I think i need generic u-boot image for rd88f6281a with fixed memory and cpu freq. After that i can load linux kernel and run dabian as usual. Am i right?
BTW, what should search for? Is it patch for u-boot or for kernel?

you were right, Bodhi.

the Plug bootet normally, but halted at the very beginnig of the boot sequence in the moment he did not find a mac address.

So interrupting with serial console did the trick.
I entered the mac address with setenv and saved the environment.

The reboot worked fine and everything is back online.

thanks for your help!!!

Jade

BTW: I'm now running kirkwood 3.13.1 + rootfs from your other post

It could work. But you will need to research the info. Do you have the U-boot booting log for your box?

Should be u-Boot patch.

I've got luck to compile U-boot from here (GPL sources)
It contains modified sources of u-boot 1.1.4.
I was able to load compiled u-boot, but it still reports less RAM than i have (128 instead of 512).
u-boot booting log differs from image to image (less or more informative). Original one is not informative at all. I'll post it later.

vasichkin,

Do you have the boot log with original U-Boot? did it show the correct RAM?

Hi.
The problem is that i do not have original u-boot and i can't find u-boot output from ix4-200d anywhere (ix2-200 available).
Latest news: i compiled sources and get some images. After test i found image that suits device best (u-boot-rd88f6281a_400rd_nand.bin).
I also installed linux as described here
All seems to be working except some issues:
I see only one network card (should be two) and it it's found to be fast ethernet (should be gigabit)
I'm going to compile kernel now
Here is boot log output:

Hi Bodhi,
I tried to flash the uboot of my old iConnect and everything seems fine - but unfortunately all my uboot enviroments are gone.

Here is the result of printenv over serial console:

iConnect> printenv
baudrate=115200
bootargs=root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=: ip=::::::off
bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5
ethact=egiga0
ethaddr=00:d0:b8:0d:f2:cf
stderr=serial
stdin=serial
stdout=serial

Environment size: 324/131068 bytes
iConnect>

Quick and dirty I added:

iConnect> setenv mainlineLinux yes
iConnect> setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 rootfstype=ext2'
iConnect> setenv bootcmd 'usb start; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; reset'
iConnect> setenv usb_bootcmd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000'

Now my iConnect booting properly from usb...
...but are there any other important uboot enviroment values I have to recreate?
