Bricked Goflex Home. Need help

These are some routers I have capable of running OpenWRT or DDWRT

I don't have a MIPS kwboot, but you can find the binary at Debian site such as:

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/mipsel/u-boot-tools/download

Quote

Download Page for u-boot-tools_2021.01+dfsg-5_mipsel.deb on MIPS (little-endian) machines

And then extract the kwboot binary from the DEB package "u-boot-tools_2021.01+dfsg-5_mipsel.deb".

They should be static binaries (don't need to install them).

Copy the appropriate kwboot binary to the OpenWrt router (any folder). And execute it:

./kwboot ....

I don't think it will work like that. I'm getting this error with both the mips and mipsel binary from Debian site:

./kwboot: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

Enter the whole command (fill in ...)?

Even with the full command, the error still shows. I googled the error and It seems to be a compilation issue.
I believe this is true because if the binary is executable, it will show a help screen like this even without the whole command.

Usage: kwboot [OPTIONS] [-b <image> | -D <ima
ge> ] [-B <baud> ] <TTY>

  -b <image>: boot <image> with preamble (Kir
kwood, Armada 370/XP)
  -p: patch <image> to type 0x69 (uart boot)
  -D <image>: boot <image> without preamble (
Dove)
  -d: enter debug mode
  -a: use timings for Armada XP
  -q <req-delay>:  use specific request-delay
  -s <resp-timeo>: use specific response-time
out
  -o <block-timeo>: use specific xmodem block
 timeout

  -t: mini terminal

  -B <baud>: set baud rate

gigas,

You would not get that far if the binary is Arch incompatible. In fact, if you run the ARM version on your MIPS router, you would get an error about the binary itself, and it would not execute.

Yes, I couldn't get that far. That help screen was from the ARM version on the GoFLex running your rootfs. On my MIPS router, it would just throw
the same error I mentioned before. Not even a help screen show up

> ./kwboot: line 1: syntax error: unexpected word
> (expecting ")")

You would not get this far either, if the binary is Arch incompatible.

I have successfully compiled kwboot for Android (termux) today. It runs fine on my older Android 5 tablet and the GoFlex was able to boot, but on my Android 11 phone, It gives out :

xmodem not a data message

or

xmodem protocol error

Any ideas how to fix this? I tried repeatedly running it again and again (up-arrow trick) but it did not work.

gigas,

I don't have any idea.

I need help with a new problem. Currently, I'm trying to boot ArchLinuxARM with your uboot following this discussion
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,56939
However, I got kernel panic when trying to boot it. The serial console log is bellow. How can I fix this?

gigas,

That's because you have no NAND space.

Interrupt u-boot at count down and in addition to the envs you set before

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $custom_params'

And then

boot

It should boot without error.

===========

In Debian, edit /boot/uEnv.txt again to modify the envs

devices=usb ide
disks=0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
dtb_file=
set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $custom_params

Note that the bootcmd cannot be changed. Only other envs starts with bootcmd_exec, in its calling sequence, can be modified.

It didn't work. I still get the same kernel panic after editting /boot/uEnv.txt.

Looks like mtdparts is just one of the possible reasons. Arch kernel is configured differently than Debian kernel.

But as usual, if I don't see the boot log, I cannot be sure.

Try booting with the rootfs Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 and post the boot log here.

gigas,

I'll post a new DTB for you to try. But you'll need to run Openwrt/Arch/Debian kernel with FDT capabilty (4.x or newer probably good enough).

-bodhi

Forum Wiki
bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

Here is the DTB for you to try.

Copy this to /boot/dts/ if you are booting Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2, otherwise to the appropriate folder for other distros. And then

cd /boot/dts
cp -a kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb.orig
cp -a kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb.nonand kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb

And then kwboot if booting Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.

For other distro, follow that distro instruction to append the DTB to uImage before kwboot.

Sorry for the late reply. My power was out.

Could you be more specific on how to "append the DTB to uImage before kwboot" on Arch? Here is the steps that I tried.
- Extract the ArchLinuxARM-2021.07-kirkwood-rootfs.tar.gz (the only version available on their website) on a new seperate USB
- Run the following mkimage commands

cd /media/sdc1/boot
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-linux.img-2021-07-arch  -d initramfs-linux.img uInitrd
sync

- Then I make dts directory and copy kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb.nonand over

mkdir /boot/dts
cd /boot/dts
cp -a kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb.nonand kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb

- Finally, I modified uEnv.txt file as follow

devices=usb ide
disks=0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb
set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $custom_params

The result when I boot is the GoFlex stuck on Starting Kernel...

My current Debian rootfs is still booting fine so I don't want to modify it. I attached the Debian boot log bellow if you need it

The steps above are all correct, if the Arch uImage has no DTB appended to it. ArchLinuxARM-2021.07-kirkwood-rootfs.tar.gz is their latest, so I am quite positive that it has no DTB appended (Arch u-boot is quite up-to-date and been supporting FDT for a long time like mine does).

Of course. Don't modify it, because it is the way it supposed to be running. The kernel should figure out that there is no NAND.

But Arch configures kernel differently, everything is built into the kernel, so I suspect that it tried to probe NAND instead of exit gracefully (hence the kernel panic). Just an educated guess, we need to see the log to see why.

=====

With you current uEnv.txt. kwboot as before, and interrupt u-boot at count down.

setenv custom_params 'earlyprintk=serial'

And then boot.

boot

This time we should be able to see more kernel activities in the early booting phase. Note that this earlyprintk could be added to uEnv.txt, and then you don't have to do it manually.

Please post the boot log here.

First, I had a typo above

set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 eralyprintk=serial

should be

set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 earlyprintk=serial

But it was not relevant, you were still able to boot the Arch kernel.

The bad new is this Arch kernel is not usable for your purpose. There is no NAND define in the DTS, but the device is still probed by the kernel bootup code.
