Help, Pogogplug E02 , No LED,serial cable connected ,what next?

Hi,
I messed up my pogoplug E02 while installing Archlinux and updationg the Kirkwood files somewhere along the line. No LED lights on fornt panel but I did connect an Rs232/usb cable to the jtag connector on the box and was able to get the following:

U-Boot 2011.12 (Feb 20 2012 - 21:21:59)
Pogoplug E02

88E1116 Initialized on egiga0
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
No link on egiga0
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
u-boot>>

What can I do next to revive this box if possible. I do have the original Pogoplug MTxx files that I backed up before attempting the mod if that helps. I'd really like to try and revive this machine instead of tosssing it out.

Any help of direction would be appreciated.

Thank you

Looker,

You are in good shape as long as you can see the u-boot prompt like that! I think your u-boot envs might have been messed up for whatever reason. So the first step is to get a listing for that at the u-boot prompt
> printenv

Most definitely, you only need to adjust u-boot envs to correctly boot the Arch rootfs on USB.

Thanks Bodhi for the fast response!

Following your advice I received the following after typing " printenv" :

u-boot>> printenv

bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm

At u-boot console you need to set these one by one. You can save time by preparing these statements in a text file, and then cut/paste it at serial console. For example:

setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),32M(rootfs),-(data)'
setenv usb_scan_list '1 2 3 4'

and so on. You can see the syntax of setenv: put everything after the first = into a single-quote string. And setenv does not use =.

And since this is my Pogo E02 envs, the ipaddr=192.168.0.221 and serverip=192.168.0.220 are specific to my local network setup. You can adjust them to your own IP addresses. They are only needed to run netconsole, and other command in tftp, nfs,… But really it's not necessary to worry about them yet.

And don't do saveenv in serial console. After you can boot successfully into Arch or Debian, use fw_setenv command to set them for real.

Thanks,but that's way over my head. Hardware I have no issue with but code I'm a newbie. Any
chance you can walk me through it. Pogo's MAC address doesn't show up in my router anymore as having an ip either.

Thanks

OK. Let's go back to the basic. The idea is to make the output of your printenv looks like mine.

bootcmd=usb start; run force_rescue_bootcmd; run ubifs_bootcmd; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; run rescue_bootcmd; run pogo_bootcmd; reset

So do you see that

console=ttyS0,115200

is not on your list? to set it so it will appear on your list, at the U-Boot prompt u-boot>> type this command:

u-boot>> setenv console 'ttyS0,115200'

now to verify that you have set it, at the u-boot prompt u-boot>>, type this command:

u-boot>>printenv

Now the output of your printenv will include the variable console listed as:

console=ttyS0,115200

And do this for the rest of other variables on my list, that are not on your list. After you've done, do printenv again and copy the output into a notepad to save it for future usage (important).

Once you've finished doing this, post that output of printenv here and we'll go from there.

Hello Bodhi,

Thank you for your help so far, I have oe immediate question regarding the "ethaddr=", does this need to be the mac address off the bottom of the device?

Yes, it needs to be that MAC address on the sticker.

Hi Bodhi,

Haven't had much time to work on this as other work was too demanding of my time. I'm having an issue and I want to make sure i''ve understood your immediate directive. For clarification, you want me to match ALL your environment variables with yours, correct? That said, I'm having an issue allready with some, I set them with no errors but they don't save when I check them after reboot via the "printenv" command e.g. "led_init=green blinking", using "setenv led_init 'green blinking' " it will except the command and verify with the "printenv
' command but if I reboot it's gone. This only happens with some commands.

Thanks

Yes. When you reboot they will be gone. The idea is not to save the envs until after you have successfully booted into Debian. Just to avoid mistake in typos. However, you can save them in serial console, too, if you're sure that the envs were entered correctly. Given you have serial console, it's Ok to save ithem now with u-boot command:
>> saveenv

Just be careful not to execute any other u-boot command without knowing exactly what they are for because a wrong command could lock you out! I'm overly cautious because you're not familiar with u-boot: I think the safest way for someone who is still learning their way around is not to save envs in serial console, just save your log and reenter the commands in Debian.

Hi Bodhi,

First of all, thank you for your help! I don't know where you get the stamina to put up with newbies like me, I'd go crazy!

Here are the items I'm going to cut and paste into the serial console. I only replaced the first " = " with a space per line, do I need to replace all the " = " with a space on each line? Is it only possible to edit the environment line by line as oppossed to pasting the entire contents all at once? Once I've successfully pasted all the lines how do I test it to boot without unplugging it? Then what?

Thank you again

@Looker

You got it. The first = means "asign the entire string that appears after the = symbol to mtdparts variable". Any = symbol that appears in the string means a literal =, not an assignment.

Regarding ippaddr and serverip, you can keep them like this (later when you get to know how to use them, they should be changed to conform to your local network):

ipaddr=192.168.0.221
serverip=192.168.0.220

To boot into Debian, you can can prepare a Debian rootfs on USB stick. See this thread for the instruction to do that:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

The latest rootfs is Debian-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (15 April 2014). So scroll down to that section and follow the instruction to download, format,and extract. You will need another Linux computer to prepare rootfs. If you don't have one then google Linux Live CD to download and preprare a CD to run it on your PC/Mac.

If you want to boot ArchLinux then you can get a simlilar rootfs at Arch site.

To summarize:

- Prepare the rootfs on a new USB stick
- Insert the USB rootfs to the Pogo, power up
- Interrupt serial console
- Enter the set of good U-Boot envs
- At serial console prompt, execute boot command:
u-boot>> boot

Bodhi,

Can I use a USB stick from another working pogo E02 with Archlinux up and working great or does it need to be an stick dedicated to this box?

Thank you

Looker,

That stick can be used on any Pogo E02. Settings need to change or match:

1. MAC address needs to macth this PogoE02:
- look in Arch network interfaces, if it is defined (I recall it is)
- that MAC address should be the same as this Pogo U-Boot env ethaddr

2. If Static IP is defined, then change it to other IP for this Pogo.

3. The rootfs file system needs to be Ext3 (I believe it is Ext3 using Arch official installation procedure)

Any idea what I didn't do correctly?

Thanks

Looker,

Some of your u-boot envs have incorrect syntax:

correct:

usb_scan_list=1 2 3 4

incorrect:

console=‘ttyS0,115200’

When you list the envs with printenv, there should be no single quote. For example, the correct setting for the variable console above is:

console=ttyS0,115200

Bodhi,

Thank you so very much for all your help! Everything is working great.

Don't know how those single quotes ended up in there, originally I pasted them from a saved text file, there must have been some hidden markup codes in there. When I typed it by hand everything entered correctly. Anyway thanks again.
