2023.04 U-Boot Kirkwood - Synology DS411j

dmb4312,

OK. I guess I forgot where it was located (or modern kernel has moved it). Let's do other things more useful.

dmb4312,

Normally don't do power off this way. It should be handled by the kernel driver (which will be invoked by the shutdown process). But it does not hurt to try at this point, because there is nothing important yet on your HDDs.

In Debian, test each of the items below, as followed.

Quote

* "2" : short beep
* "3" : long beep
* "4" : turn the power LED ON
* "5" : flash the power LED
* "6" : turn the power LED OFF

To turn off the Power LED:

echo 6 > /dev/ttyS1

Now after you've tested 2-6, do power off.

Quote

* "1" : power off // already handled by the poweroff node

sync 
sync 
echo 1 > /dev/ttyS1

Bodhi,
2 to 6 worked as intended.

with echo 1 the nas did turn completely off.

when using init 0 or reboot -h commands it just halts and stays powered on

Cool!

Yes, the Synology driver has not been configured, so those procedures do not work properly. It will be in kernel 6.5.7-kirkwood-tld-1.

=============

To incorporate the Power LED commands, to indicate that the kernel has finished booting, you can add them to the end of /etc/rc.local before exit 0.

echo 6 > /dev/ttyS1
echo 4 > /dev/ttyS1

exit 0

Thanks Bodhi.

dmb4312,

Try installing the new kernel 6.5.7. The DTB comes with this kernel is the latest one in this thread.

Bodhi,

I will definitely try it when I get time some time next month.
thanks alot

I've attached to this post the latest ds411jv10 DTB and DTS.

- Corrected the LEDs name for HDD 1-4 (amber vs green).
- Documented the UART1 usage in the DTS
- Renamed fan and leds nodes (to current DTS bindings and styles). So there will be changes in the dmesg log. But functionality should remain the same.
