Flashing u-boot WD EX4100

Hello,

I've managed to mangle up u-boot on this WD EX4100 by trying to flash "u-boot-a38x-Yellowstone_2014T30p6_bodhi-tld-6-nand-uart.bin" from within uboot.
My ultimate goal was to run Debian on this box. I wasn't able to boot into rootfs made with Debian-6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (I think because USB power doesn't work in stock u-boot for this box?)

Prior to breaking the stock uboot, I made ecc/oob and nonecc/nonoob backups of all the flash partitions. I'm also able to kwboot with the same uboot-tld6.bin, and the box will boot fine into stock WD firmware using this method.

How can I flash the uboot-tld-6 to NAND from inside kwbooted uboot-tld6 ?
How do I restore the saved nand dumps (since my previous attempt fails, and box can only be booted with kwboot).

My brain has been turned to mush from fighting with this box for so many days now, and trying to make sense of the 30+ pages from saschadd and hmartin's threads, so any help appreciated.


Logs below:
Log1) Boot Debian from rootfs, fail
Log2) Flash uboot-tld6 using nand write, fail
Log3) Kwboot log (where I am now)

Prior to breaking the stock uboot, I made ecc/oob and nonecc/nonoob backups of all the flash partitions. I'm also able to kwboot with the same uboot-tld6.bin, and the box will boot fine into stock WD firmware using this method.

How can I flash the uboot-tld-6 to NAND from inside kwbooted uboot-tld6 ?
How do I restore the saved nand dumps (since my previous attempt fails, and box can only be booted with kwboot).

Basically, run kwboot and boot into USB Debian rootfs. And flash the backup (nonecc/nonoob) for u-boot partition to mtd0, while inside Debian.

So kwboot and post this entire serial boot log (from kwboot command to the Debian login prompt). Also login and post

cat /proc/mtd

=====

Please list the MTD backup files in both format:

ls -lh <backup mtd files>

and

ls -l <backup mtd files>

And if you have saved the log of your MTDs backup session, post that too.

Basically, run kwboot and boot into USB Debian rootfs. And flash the backup (nonecc/nonoob) for u-boot partition to mtd0, while inside Debian.

In all of my attempts, I've never got a Debian login prompt (Log1 in my previous post shows the furthest I've got with the 6.6.2 debian rootfs).
When trying to boot into Debian, the unit would fall back to initramfs shell, as shown in the first log.
I'd checked /dev/ from the initramfs shell, and there were no storage devices that I could see (other than the mtd for the NAND flash) - ie., no usb sda device, no /dev/disk directory.
I tried this many times, following instructions closely, but all my attempts failed (hence the attempted wiping stock uboot to try and upgrade to tld-6 on the NAND =))

I can try and boot into the stock WD firmware again, or re-do the steps of making the rootfs and post that log, if it helps.

=====

Here is a list of the backups, and a partial log- (done within WD stock firmware some time ago).

Logs/files seen above were made some months ago.
Earlier this week I'd taken another set of MTD backups from inside uboot (again both ecc/oob and non-ecc/oob), though I didn't save a log of this. Below is a file list of those also, they appear to be identical to the old ones:

I think you are very close to booting Debian using kwboot. The USB drive somehow was not recognized by the kernel as a USB storage device. Try using a different USB thumb drive.

And yes, I think posting the log of the making of the rootfs would be helpful (you'll never know, we've all been there, just a tiny typo caused everything go bad :).

After and if we exhaust all possiblities with the rootfs. It's a good idea to go back to stock u-boot. You can also kwboot this backup:

bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

bodhi,
Of course you are right =) Thanks for your encouragement!

Between issues with different USB sticks, USB UART adapter issues (no buffer flushing), my bad soldering on the EX4100 board, using many old kwboot binaries for different archs and without basic terminal support, (openrd, raspi4, raspi zero w, amd64), forgetting that minicom is running in a different terminal tab (this will quietly prevent kwboot handshake from succeeding)... I nearly tossed the ex4100 out the window =))

I went to re-do all of the steps again so I could post the session log, and found out where I went wrong, which was trying to boot without an uInitrd (was following the 16 Dec 2023 Rootfs Debian-6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi instructions, and stopped reading after Step5).... d'oh!! Since correcting this latest bonehead mistake, I've finally booted into Debian from the USB rootfs I originally created, just by adding the mkimage step for uInitrd.

From Debian I was also able to write your tld6 uboot binary into mtd0, eliminating the need to kwboot the EX4100 NAS. I haven't got fw_printenv to work from within Debian (either because I haven't followed all the steps in the original posts, or possibly due to my erasing some of the NAND previously:

Marvell>> ext4load usb 0:1 0x0800000 boot/uboot6.bin
956160 bytes read in 511 ms (1.8 MiB/s)
Marvell>> nand erase 0x0 0x60000

NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x60000
Erasing at 0x40000 -- 100% complete.
OK
Marvell>> nand write 0x0800000 0x0 0x60000

NAND write: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x60000
 393216 bytes written: OK
Marvell>> reset
resetting ...

(this did not work out as I'd expected, but all looks well now =)


I also find that I need to fsck the USB after 1-3 reboots due to filesystem corruption issues. I'll try other drives (each of the 4 USB drives I've tried are passed by the "badblocks" utility). Don't know whether this is a limitation I should expect of ext3/USB as rootfs in general, as I haven't tried rootfs on SATA boot or anything else just yet.

Since I've been saving log/session of all this work , I figure I should make a detailed and up-to-date instructions for this box and post them here for others. Eventually I intend on trying to build a modern DENX uboot for the WD EX4100, and make it as close to a "real computer" as possible (ie. like my OpenRD Ultimate box). Any further advice/experience on this would be highly appreciated!

I will update this thread and make a new post with a complete set of instructions so that all the info is in one place, once I've put the hardware back together and test SATA booting/writing the rootfs to NAND.

Thank you again =)

Yes, there is more to be done with the u-boot envs and the MTDs, in the kernel bootargs, and /etc/fw_env.config.

Please post a complete serial boot log and also

cat /etc/fw_env.config
cat /proc/mtd

This is probalby related to power off issue (I can't remember if we resolved it, it was too long ago).

Ext3 is very resilient, whenever I'm lazy I just turn off power on a test box running Ext3 rootfs (instead of shutdown -h now), and it came back recovering the journal, and boot flawlessly.

I usually sync at least once before reboot or shutdown.

sync
shutdown -r now
or
shutdown -h now

Yes! that would be a great contribution. saschad was supposed to do it, but I guess life events had prevented that.

bodhi,

Thank you for the continued support !
Sorry I haven't saved all of the serial logs you asked for this time , have been busy on other tests , though mine appear to be the same as what saschadd was posting. When I am finished documenting the instructions I'll have a thorough session log to post.

Quick update:

Updated fw_env.config to what was shown on uboot startup, and confirmed fw_printenv and fw_setenv works from inside Debian.

Updated kernel to your latest, configured to boot using systemd, using a swap of ~3GB (limitation of this 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive )), has been running well! No longer find any filesystem corruption issues or fallback to initramfs due to filesystem inconsistency.

Was able to kwboot my backup of mtd0 (stock uboot), the 2024 kwboot utility works much better than old... absolutely no trouble kwboot this box now!

Have not been able to get the 2nd GbE port to handshake DHCP (though admittedly didn't try very hard, updated /etc/network interfaces and ran dhclient for eth1, will look at this more later)

Was able to revert mtd0 to stock from backup, (write the nanddump to flash from inside uboot) , but only by loading with tftp. It appears that many USB bugs plague these Marvell uboots. fat32, ext2/ext3, memory address, doesn't matter, I saw the below consistently, and eventually stopped experimenting with it. This did "work" once! Ie. from my original Log1, I was able to load from USB. The data, it appears, was totally corrupt (from the same log). Therefore I stick with tftp.

Due to the above behaviour, uboot won't load /boot/uImage or /boot/uInitrd, though it may be possible to 'trick' uboot by setting for example, /usr/uInitrd and /usr/uImage within environment, probably this issue won't persist into Linux kernel..? Not sure if I'll bother to spend the time to test this. As you say, ext3 is fine, and I'd rather try build a mainline uboot.


Haven't tested the 3 buttons yet, but no reason to think they don't work. Also haven't tested anything on SATA RAID, or even with the RAID expansion board plugged into the armada mainboard (I removed the mainboard for ease of soldering the UART pins, and the way I had everything wired up proved a bit messy to do, though I can see how it can be improved). I'll be testing this shortly also, no reason to suspect issues, based on the older posts.

Now that I'm back to 100% stock on mtd/NAND, I'll re-assemble the NAS and start writing a complete instructions.

Eventually I'd like to build a mainline uboot for this box (ie. using the WD open source as reference, but with new features such as GPT working). Maybe this will also fix some of the annoying USB bugs. Any tips on this future endeaveour highly appreciated =))

Thanks again;

The issue with USB likely to have to do with the u-boot envs. These Marvell u-boot are similar in the Armada 38x boxes. Look like they came from the same Marvell code base.

Are the USB ports on this box USB 3.0 or a mix of 2.0 and 3.0?

Try playing with the envs and port usage.

usbActive=0
usbType=3

For example set usbActive to 1 (i.e. port 1), usbType to 2 (i.e USB 2.0), or some combination of these 4 values.

If one of USB ports work well, then that should be the way to load kernel files.

Unfortunately, my long standing policy is myself not getting into discussion about how to build or develop new u-boot or kernel. It'll take too much of my free time! I can only help unbricking boxes and answering installation questions.

I meant I figured out the changes to be made by "studying" your/his experiments in the original 16pg thread from 2017. Now that I'm a bit more familiar with Doozan boards and the posts, I see there are generic instructions posted to update fw_env.config.

The issue with USB likely to have to do with the u-boot envs.

When I ext4ls /usr , and it returns directory listing for /boot, you are saying it's issue of uboot envs?? Pardon my ignorance, just making sure we're on the same page/talking about the same issue

They are all USB 3.0 ports

Quote

If one of USB ports work well, then that should be the way to load kernel files.

Each of the three USB3.0 ports works perfectly on my ex4100, inside and outside uboot. Using your Yellowstone-tld6 uboot, there's no difference whether I use front, or either of the two rear for anything, in all of my testing (I've been testing a LOT over last week))

I'm not happy with the marvell armada BSP U-boot, it is missing many bugfixes patches, and features.
Ie: The only write-to-filesystem command that exists is "ext4write", and this uboot version is missing an important patch from mainline, so ext4write is worse-than-useless, it will destroy superblock and corrupt data).
To write a thorough instructions for the box I'd like to (am in progress of) build a better uboot, first. I know I can use the WD GPL source to build the same old marvell uboot with more features, and apply (some) patches manually, but if I spend much time to do this, why not instead spend the time to make mainline U-Boot for the box ??

Understandable! I thank you for all the time you've spent on this unit specifically, and on the NAS community already!

Cool! then this tld-6 u-boot is good enough to boot Debian. So it's depending on what your goal is.

Yeah, it was built just to boot the stock FW. Likely WD did not care about quality of the boot loader, and paid a minimum amount of money to Marvell to get the BSP..

bodhi,

It was too time consuming to remake mainline uboot for this deprecated(I think?) board, what with all the changes in the last 12 yrs to the DENX project.

I had a few issues with your tld-6 patched uboot binary, namely that it requires UART, requires manually pasting uboot env variables, and may have required a recompilation to customize some boot options. Therefore I made some modifications based on your patch.

The changes work pretty well, and provide robust functionality, without even the need of UART - I leverage the fact that EX2100/EX4100 has the following nifty bit of code within stock WD uboot, allowing updating uboot by holding down USB pushbutton on reset.

    /* Push usb button */
    if ( load_kernel_count == 1 )
    {
      if ( find_usb_storage == 0 )
      {
        printf("### Can not find USB storage ###\n");
      }
      else
      {
        fs_set_blk_dev("usb", "0:1", 1);
        len_read = fs_read("/EX4100/u-boot.bin", 0x1000000, 0, 0);
        if ( len_read > 0 )
        {
          printf("### Update u-boot ###\n");
          run_command("bubt /EX4100/u-boot.bin nand usb; reset;",0);
        }
        else
          printf("### Can not find u-boot file ###\n");
      }
    }

Basically... Backup all mtd, make a USB as per instructions... plug it in.. it will update WD u-boot to the modified one, and reboot into new rootfs on the 2nd partition of the USB using the bootscr (also allows restore). The USB looks like this:

wipefs -a /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdd
parted -s /dev/sdd \ mktable msdos \ mkpart primary fat32 1MiB 1% \ mkpart primary ext3 1% 100%
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n NEWBOOT /dev/sdd1 && mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/sdd2

boot.scr is the binary version of the bootscript (created via mkimage).
boot.script is the editable version (must be "compiled" via mkimage to use)
mtd0.bin is my original flash backup of the WD stock u-boot partition
u-boot.bin is a compiled version of the patched bootloader, ie. your old tld-6 patch with mainly this change:

+  run_command("usb reset; fatload usb 0:1 0x2000000 /EX4100/boot.scr; source", 0);

The second partition of the USB (/dev/sdd2 in this case) holds your Debian rootfs.
Edited to add, for fw_printenv:

sed -i 's/mtd1/mtd0/g' /mnt/sdd2/etc/fw_env.config

I've uploaded the patch here for curiosity, in case you want to see the changes to WD GPL src.

Any recommendations from you? Any chance you have a newer uboot than this WD/marvell src to which to apply this patch?

I'm ready to post a complete set of instructions for both u-boot and Debian for this box (the ex2100 works the same), and want to delete this thread, because my questions/findings above are basically just noise, and contribute almost nothing to future readers.
I indend to put these files (as well as the binaries and some further instructions) into a new Topic on these boards. Can you delete this Topic? Should I delete my messages, or at least Edit them, so that the first post is the instructions?

Still, in the instruction, you should recommend serial console connected, so the installation progress can be observed by the installer. And in case something goes wrong in the process, eg. bad flash, the log is needed recover the botched installation.

Nice!

Updating u-boot by flashing it manually in Debian is a step-by-step process where you can stop it when you see error, and recover from it in a tech user friendly environment, i.e. Linux shell. Doing it in u-boot automatic process is really for end users. But I'm not against doing it with the USB push button. Even tech users sometime don't care to see how this is done.

Persistent MAC address is an inherent problem with this old stock u-boot and other Marvell u-boots similar to it. The Debian rootfs has a script that work around the problem. There are many ways to do this. I chose to do it in a script for educational purposed.

Quote

Updated 16 Dec 2023:

Rootfs Debian-6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 has been uploaded.

Basic Debian bookworm armhf rootfs for most MVEBU Armada NAS:

.....

Note 6. Persistent MAC address (Optional):

To enable the network dynamic IP to stay consistent after each reboot, and also for faster boot. In this rootfs, a script is executed during kernel booting (in /etc/rc.local), to detect if a local MAC address was assigned during boot, and then set the persistent MAC address to what is currently defined in u-boot env ethaddr.

/root/set_persistent_mac_address

To keep using the kernel generated local MAC address (if local MAC address was generated in your box) then chmod this script to non-executable.
chmod -x /root/set_persistent_mac_address

Further improvement: after releasing this rootfs, I realized I've forgot to implement an improvement for this. Please see here for more info.

Not sure I have time to roll another u-boot. I'll have to see.

That would be great to do in a brand new thread.

I think we should keep this. It's a working thread that have good info. You can include a link in the installtion post, if you'd like, and I'll edit this thread to tell people to go to the installation thread (in 1st and last post). And then close the thread. That way we can reopen it later. If there is no activity in the future, it'll be dormant.

Thanks!
