Hi bodhi,
Any comment on the instructions I have posted above?

vaidyasr,

You're confused 2 different instructions (the 1st were written long ago for a different purpose).

1. Using new kernel with stock u-boot (blparam is needed)

Quote

I believe the link above you have shared should be http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,11538,11706

2. Installing new-uboot (this thread) (blparam does not come in to play at all).

Ignore every thread that you have read about the Pogo V4/Mobile. The only reason I pointed to a different thread was to show an example (I might have been contributing to the confusion by doing that :).

Please follow the instruction in the first post of this thread only. The ony thing you need to worry, while using this procedure, is to download NAND tools so you can use nand erase, nand write, fw_set_env, fw_printenv.

Hope it's cleared up the issue. I will add more info in the instruction to avoid this confusion.

Thanks bodhi. But when I use the instructions on page 1 on step 2, I can't use fw_printenv. It says error, which I have already posted.

I'm quoting what I wrote in the 1st post:

Also, if you are running stock kernel, which usually does not provide NAND tools, you can download it here in this thread.

Because Arch rootfs (like stock kernel) does not have NAND tools. You need to download NAND tools and put them in /tmp.

And execute fw_setenv from there as

/tmp/fw_setenv …
/tmp/fw_printenv …
/tmp/nand erase …
/tmp/nand write ….

For step 2 and 3:

blparam > current_envs.txt

Because you are still using stock u-boot and envs.

Step 8 flashes a correct env image to NAND so it can be used with new U-Boot. After that there should be no CRC errors using fw_printenv or fw_setenv.

Hi bodhi,
Any idea how to mount the pogoplug partitions inside arch?. Otherwise I have to revert back to stock using a pen drive.

Thanks bodhi. I have reverted using revert folder and I am in stock OS. I was able to perform the below steps and good.
#/usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam > current_envs.txt
# cd /tmp
# tar -xf uboot.2014.07.tld-1.goflexnet.bodhi.tar
# flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
# nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.2014.07.tld-1.goflexnet.mtd0.kwb
# cd /tmp; tar -xf uboot.2014.07-tld-1.environment.img.bodhi.tar
# /usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0xc0000 1
# /usr/sbin/nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2014.07-tld-1.environment.img
# fw_setenv arcNumber 3960
# fw_setenv machid f78
# fw_setenv ethaddr 'xxxxx'

but I am not able to find the below variables in my existing current_envs.txt
fw_setenv mtdparts 'xxxxxxxxx'
fw_setenv rootfstype 'xxxx'

How to proceed?

My debian sd card was ext2. So I set
# ./fw_setenv rootfstype 'ext2'

and mtdparts as
# ./fw_setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:2M(u-boot),3M(uImage),3M(uImage2),8M(failsafe),112M(root)'

Can I reboot with the Debian SDcard?

Cool! you're almost there.

- Did you set ethaddr to your box value?
- Did you set these IPs to the real values? ipaddr is the address of the Pogoplug, serverip is the IP address of the other Linux box that you intend to run netconsole (i.e. nc).
ipaddr=192.168.0.231
serverip=192.168.0.220
- Since you don't have serial console, also set this so that u-boot will run netconsole upon boot:
./fw_setenv preboot 'run preboot_nc'

When you're done, pls list the envs again and post the list here for sanity check!

The trick to getting around the Windows 7/8 compatibility is to use another pogoplug (as documented in the blog) to recover your bad pogoplug.

Very convenient because I mainly work from my couch using a (windows 8) laptop which doesn't need to be tethered to the broken pogoplug. I ssh into my good pogoplug and then start a screen session to connect to the bad pogoplug via serial.

vaidyasr,

- You are not running (Flatten Device Tree) FDT kernel, so don't worry about it.
- Your u-boot envs look good! except that you don't have netconsole running at boot. If you want to run it so you can observe boot progress:

./fw_setenv preboot 'run preboot_nc'

Yes, but start netconsole on the other box first and cross fingers :) power up the Pogo.

@gaogao, pbg4, and others NSA320 users,

I've built a test version for U-Boot-2013.10 NSA320 from WarheasSE's GitHub. Please test with UART first if you have serial console.

Download at Dropbox:
uboot.2013.10-tld-1.nsa320.bodhi.tar
md5
a828e4ccf905db76914f63b1cfc0807c

Instruction for flashing to NAND is the same as for the NSA325 and in the main u-boot thread.

I was able to boot the pogoplug with my arch pen drive, but not with the debian sdcard. Per the error, I am not able to find /boot/uInitrd in the sdcard. Did I miss anything?. I have extracted the debian tar file in the sdcard.

The new kernel does not recognize my hard drives via HUB at all.

Now that's great to hear you can boot both USb and SD card! Any other problem please post them in a new thread and I'll respond.

Hi bodhi,
Am configuring the samba, I can't make it as read/write. I read lot of forums and made the changes, still I can't write from windows.

Hi bodhi,
I figured out the samba issue.

One more question. When I reboot the PPV4, I see a blinking green turns to blinking red and blinking orange and after a while it turns static green. Is that normal?.

@vaidyasr,
why in the hell you need arch with that machinegun-like question fire rate?
I've always thought of arch-users as of doers not talkers.
I mean if you don't know how to use the tool, maybe you shouldn't? )

To all who have troubles with >2Tb drives, just try hybrid MBR, I've already described here.
The bootloader cares only about root partition (and /boot, if u separate them), and it should not be >2Tb.
The kernel will address the rest.
