@bodhi,
So can I reboot it now? Not sure how to get the blparam binary onto the USB stick otherwise. The USB stick is in ext3 format so I don't think that my windows machine will read it. I can boot up Mint and put it on the USB stick that way. Let me know which is preferred and if it needs to be in one of the specific directories that you mentioned. Maybe there is a way to copy a file off of my PC with the serial console/Archlinux?
Have a good night.

Waynosan,

Download it on Mint, put it on a different USB stick, plug the stick into the Pogo, and copy it to the same directory you are on (for convenience). Then execute it:
It is a precaution mostly. Since we can't do anything to verify the u-boot flash before reboot (other than dumping it and do a binary diff), so at least blparam will do a sanity check by listing the envs from the envs area within mtd0.
If you list envs with blparam and get a sane listing with no error, you can reboot, and monitor the boot progress with serial console. It should boot into the Pogo OS and give you a prompt to log in.

OK, I had to reboot before copying the blparam file on because I have Mint on the same PC. After I copied the file onto another USB stick I was not able to reconnect to PP2 over the serial bus (or at least Putty wouldn't display anything). After rebooting PP2 it still wasn't showing anything but I knew things weren't too bad because I got an orange LED on PP2 and both ethernet lights were blinking. I rebooted the PC and now serial comms is working again.
Here is the boot log... looks like it's complaining about a bad CRC... The MAC address needs to be corrected somehow? I found it's present MAC address by aborting the boot and using "printenv" (output below). Looks like I need to copy the blparam file from PP1 to PP2 and update the MAC address... is that all? One problem I see is that when I do a ./blparam it shows a bunch of output in HEX... PP1 only shows text output. Not sure how to deal with that.
There are two blparam files:
Here's the output of printenv if I abort the boot process:
How do I go about correcting the MAC address and the other errors?

Waynosan,
Cool! you are back to Pogo OS.
> How do I go about correcting the MAC address and
> the other errors?
Looks like the default envs are OK. Power up again, interrupt serial console and at the prompt, printenv again, make sure the MAC address is correct and other envs are listed OK like before. You can use setenv to set the MAC address in serial console.
And then do
This way the checksum is rebuilt, and you won't see the CRC error anymore. And also blparm will work correctly after this.

Thanks :) but please PM Jeff and buy him a beer instead :) It must cost him some time and money hosting the forum for all of us.

setenv ethaddr xx.xx.xx.xx
And then do
saveenv

Re: Pogoplug v2 doesn't show up on LAN after Archlinux install February 10, 2015 11:19PM |
Registered: 9 years ago Posts: 29 |
OK, set the ethernet address and blparam does appear good. Correct IP address is being set. Here's the blparam output:
Still getting an orange LED up-front though and not seeing the device using the pogoplug webaccess software.
At this point, should I try to restart the Archlinux installation process? Also, re-flashing the mtd0 seems to have solved the connection problem, doesn't that indicate that there was indeed a problem with uboot? Just trying to make sense of why the Archlinux install failed before I try it again. Let me know if you know of a different process I should follow than the one I linked to in the OP.
Here's the serial log as of right now (yellow front LED). The only thing bad that I see is
cat: can't open '/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
route: SIOCDELRT: No such process
PM to Jeff sent.

Your Arch installation was successful. There was nothing wrong with that u-boot installation. The only problem was systemd network related which is inside Arch Linux. After you reflashed mtd0, you went back to Pogo Linux OS, that's why the network connection is working.
I'm wondering why you want to use Arch but not Debian?

OK, I see.
I'm not married to Archlinux; it's just that there are the most examples for setting it up on the internet for at least some of what I want to do with it. Being a noob regarding this stuff I figured it would be the easiest way to approach it. My goals are:
I assume that Debian can probably do the same stuff but I get the impression that it would take more know-how than Archlinux.
ps: Any idea why I'm seeing the orange light on the device and I can't see it with the Pogoplug software? Not sure if I should be worrying about it at this point but if I end up implementing point 4 above then I probably should figure it out before proceeding.

- Serve files to my network without having to use the Popoplug software on my local PCs (I often have to "refresh" it to see my drives)
- Serve media files to my Raspberry Pi XBMC and tablet
- Run an automatic backup of select important directories to another hard drive
- (optional) Run the Pogoplug serivce so I can still access my music remotely through my Android phone. If this can be done without the Pogoplug service then even better.
- (stretch goal) Connect my multifunction Canon printer/scanner to it so I can use it from multiple PCs (It only has a USB connection). I know that the printing function should be easy but not sure if the scanning function will be as trivial.

True. There are more info and tutorial for Arch Linux ARM available at Arch site. It is well organized. OTOH, Debian ARM info are scattered. We are mainly a hacking forum here (i.e. get it to work). Things on your list are available too, in other general Debian forums. Except for the below task:

moonman at ALARM sitte has a well written procedure that allows you to run Pogo service in Arch, so it is a good choice to go with Arch for you.

At this point, I would not worry about this, since you can run it from Arch as mentioned. For reference, I think this is an indicator about the Pogoplug service is not running yet, there is more reverse works need to be done to start the service.

bohdi,
Thank you so much again for your help. I was planning on perhaps following this procedure and using Jeff's uboot as listed here:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Linux-hints/step6/Pogoplug-V2/
Do you foresee any issues with this approach?
Again, you've helped more than enough so if you're done with this topic don't feel bad about not answering. All the best to you.

I would not use that approach. If you are going to run Arch, then you should use Arch u-boot and its installation procedure. But if you want to use a different u-boot, you can install my u-boot image later, after you got Arch running.

Re: Pogoplug v2 doesn't show up on LAN after Archlinux install February 25, 2015 07:48AM |
Hi there,
Im having a similar issue - pogoplug won't show up on the network but the LED in front is green. network LEDs show activity.
Previously had arch on the device, and I tried following a step here to boot back into pogoplug software (which did not work)
http://mhassan.me/2012/06/27/swapping-between-pogoplug-original-and-custom-firmware/
The step was renaming uImage to uImage.hide
After many unsuccessful attempts to boot into either Arch or Pogoplug FS, I decided to reinstall arch. I was not getting any LED indicator in the front but ethernet LEDs were blinking.
I followed the guide here to reinstall arch http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3312&p=19207#p19207
Now, at least the front LED comes on, but still no network. I've even tried setting a static lease on my router for the Pogoplug's mac address.
It is an E02 V2 Gray model
Any tips? I do not have a serial cable, and would prefer to avoid getting one for now if I can (its on my wish list)

Best way to recover without serial console in this situaton is to boot into a working rootfs, and then mount your Arch stick, examine it.
You can temporarily boot into Debian. Get the rootfs 3.16 from this thread, and use the version:

Sorry, I didn't read this thread but wanted to throw out one reason why this happened - Pogoplug v2 doesn't show up on LAN after Archlinux install -to one of my blog readers.
The Pogoplug E02 uBoot was from Jeff Doozan, but he followed the re-installation instructions from archlinuxarm.org which explicitely instructs the user to format the USB drive as EXT4 (and not EXT3 as expected by the uBoot env). The uBoot from archlinuxarn.org, I guess, detects the fstype dynamically and supports EXT4.
The reinstallation instructions I'm referring to: http://archlinuxarm.org/support/reinstallation
Just wanted to throw it out there for future readers (and you @samad).

Re: Pogoplug v2 doesn't show up on LAN after Archlinux install February 26, 2015 12:24AM |
thank you both.
i was able to get the pogoplug to boot back into arch linux using grayman4hire's link. the difference between this step and what i did last night to reinstall was changing filesystem to ext4 (i tried ext3 yesterday)
ext4 allowed me to get back into my pogoplug via ssh and it shows up on the network. ext3 failed at some point, but i didn't have logs (reinstalled on same flash drive)
i may try to install debian on another flash drive using your link bodhi so i can hotswap between the two, but for now my issue is solved. can finally migrate all my content off pogoplug cloud.
thanks agian

Additional quick question... if I want to move ALARM from the slow USB flash drive that I'm currently using to a small USB HD that I have are there any modifications necessary? I was able to copy (using cp) ALARM from one USB flash drive onto another without issues (ALARM booted up and I was able to SSH into it w/o problems), but when I did the same using a USB HD as the destination then I'm not able to connect to the pogoplug/ALARM.

@Waynosan,
You need to verify these:
- Check if you have used the copy command cp -aR while logged in as root.
- After cloning the rootfs, check udev rules files:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,18007,18008#msg-18008
Also, if the USB flash drive is plugged in, u-boot envs should be modified to boot with both drives attached.

Thanks for this thread!
Documenting for others who might end up in similar situations (when trying to get their device to boot anything from USB):
With yet another black Pogoplug E02 mislabelled POGO-P24,
I had also stepped into the "death trap" that http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray has become, while looking good at first glance:
Fortunately bodhi pointed out that "If you ran this recently, this procedure installed the Arch new u-boot. It was setup to load uImage only, and won't try to detect uInitrd (which Debian rootfs needs). So that was probably why you could not boot with Debian rootfs."
With no other ARM around, to the rescue I did this on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (after sudo passwd root) with a new USB stick:
Now from this working stage (in Arch only), to avoid further pitfalls, how do I most safely

From this point onward, even with a Debian FDT rootfs USB stick (i.e. worse than by Waynosan's account), the front LED stayed dark all the time (as if it were bricked) while there is some flicker from the rear LAN green&amber LEDs (only the latter staying on if a USB stick is plugged), but no DHCP let alone sshd anymore.Quote

With no other ARM around, to the rescue I did this on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (after sudo passwd root) with a new USB stick:
This created (after several minutes wait on umount!) a bootable Arch at last - probably the only thing this "new" U-Boot does boot.Quote
root
apt-get install bsdtar
umount /media/sdl1
mke2fs -j /dev/sdl1
mount /dev/sdl1 /media/sdl1
cd /media/sdl1
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
cd
umount /media/sdl1
sync
Now from this working stage (in Arch only), to avoid further pitfalls, how do I most safely
- ensure that there is a fallback to the built-in system & Busybox shell again (in case of missing or unreadable USB)
- permanently disable hwnd in there so it can't phone home to lock me out in any unexpected update (similar to commenting out "/etc/init.d/hbmgr.sh start" from /etc/init.d/rcS per http://ahsoftware.de/dockstar/)
- get the most versatile, reliable U-Boot (presumably http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 or should http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/ do?) that is able to launch either of Arch, Cloud Engines or Debian up to jessie on Kernel 3.18 from http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 - and provide a netconsole for emergencies?

TEN,
Yes, and set up netconsole right away, especially with no serial console set up. Furthermore, with this new u-boot, you will have the LED flashing correctly in the boot sequence, so the quick visual indicator is available (most of the time, it is enough to tell that something went wrong by looking at the LED light).
I've also kept the option for booting Arch in u-boot envs. So it will work by just plugging in the Arch rootfs and boot.

However none of the utilities needed (fw_printenv, flash_erase, nandwrite) are in Arch by default.

Bootable "out of the box", i.e. no particular setup needed for Arch, nor for recent FDT Debian, and it will also fall back into the internal, original OS if there is no USB media?
Or will I need to make changes (in spite of the now jessie / 3.18 kernel thread) as Section C of the above U-Boot thread still says "to boot FDT kernel (starting 3.17), please see the kernel 3.17 thread (Updated 26 Oct 2014) section 4a for instruction on how to modify u-boot envs further in order to boot kernel 3.17 and later. The default u-boot envs for FDT kernel will be released in the near future" ?

It is the same u-boot-tools and mtd-utils packages that need to be installed to provide those utilities whether in Arch or Debian. (in Debian: apt-get u-boot-tools mtd-utils).

No. There is no Pogo OS consideration in neither u-boot. That's something you need to take care of afterward.
> Or will I need to make changes
Yes, you will need to know which type of rootfs that you will run, FDT or non-FDT, and setup u-boot envs according to the instruction. Remember, this installation procedure is manual, not a script like Arch's. So "plugging it in" means that the envs needed to be set up before that it will boot an appropriate rootfs. Sorry, it's not really plug-and-play for both systems :)
The bottom line is: if you intend to run Arch, never Debian then perhaps you should stay with Arch's u-boot (it has a very nice setup and tailored to Arch rootfs). OTOH, if you need netconsole, SNTP, and other minor capabilities only exist in this image, and perhaps want to boot a mix of Arch, Debian, OpenWRT, or Fedora then it is more appropriate to use this u-boot.

Just wondering how to do this from Arch with minimal risk, since that's an E02 on which, as the Great Bodhi writes, ;) at every glitch it's "JTAG time".Quote
bodhi
There is no Pogo OS consideration in neither u-boot. That's something you need to take care of afterward.
The fallback to the built-in OS (as provided by Jeff's installer IIRC when the USB was unplugged) always comes in handy as the partition's there anyway, and can only be used for this or another rescue system.
BTW there is no /dev/mtdblock2 on E02 even after modprobe mtdblocks, so I had to install the tools via pacman anyway.
I have had some trouble finding feasible "revert" instructions from Arch to E02 (as are offered for several other platforms) to start over from the interal OS though.
Anyhow wouldn't your U-Boot preferentially be deployed through an installer like Jeff's or Arch's in the first place?Quote

Your kernel thread might actually limit the reference to usable (back to 2009-2011) ones to "non-stock" U-Boots as I understand a replacement over the factory one is always needed to boot from anything but NAND.
Ideally, anything with a fallback to NAND (i.e. some usable shell) after attempting to boot from the widest possible variety of USB media will do, and hopefully be installable from Arch now as well.Quote

BTW the latest Arch (or its http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/armv5te/boot/pogo_e02/uboot-pogo_e02.env already) doesn't seem to get the NAND partitions right (booted systems sees only 2), which might complicate U-Boot replacement:

I also doubt the revert instructions at http://myownhomeserver.com/2012/11/how-to-make-a-cheap-home-server-using-a-pogoplug-v2/#li-comment-202 really do apply to Pogoplug V2.

It is minimized if the instruction is followed without any modification. Usually we get into trouble thinking something is equivalent and tweak the instruction just a bit :) with boot loader installation, it is best to do exactly (copy/paste) as the instruction states. And also, if you post the entire log of installation here before rebooting then I'd say the risk is very small.

Jeff and davygravy have released rescue systems here in this forum. Also Arch has new rescue system, too. IMO, that's a better option than using stock OS for that purpose.

Arch u-boot went completely modern, and the mtds were redefined as 2 mtds: 0 and 1. This actually is what I would do for my own boxes to store kernel and rootfs. But for general consumption, I'd like to keep them the same as before so that users can decide. I think each of us has our own needs, if someone understands NANDs and wants to use it for rescue/rootfs/kernel then changing the definition is very easy to do anyway.

Yes. But I need free time to do it :) It will take a lot of time to test.

This is only a conservative estimate. The kernel actually would work with any u-boot that has USB support. But some stock u-boot does not have USB support. Even without USB, if it has tftp then it would work that way too..

FYI - I do not currently recommend the archlinuxarm uboot for the E02. Either use Jeff's or Bodhi.
There are a few minor bugs with the archlinuxarm uboot, mainly netconsole not working as expected (no preboot) and you will not be able to boot the default Pogoplug OS because the uboot is missing the fsload needed to chainload the original uboot.
Not supporting Debian by default is a new one for me, so another reason not to use it.

Thanks for mentioning it! jffs2 fsload/fsls was patched in my release to keep it working. I consider it a minor improvement (because of ubifs is better), but for someone who needs to run stock OS it is indeed a big deal.

However this isn't what's actually found on the NAND at that point (as even the Arch U-Boot installer -hopefully/fortunately- would not reformat the original partitions):
Accordingly mount /dev/mtdblock1 takes minutes to return, filling dmesg with scary errors of alleged NAND brokenness.

Does stock U-Boot have that? Could be a new avenue to unbricking (e.g. got a DockStar dead after power outage, but then again that might suffer from NAND corruption needing JTAG indeed) with no wires other than Ethernet...

I think they were left alone intact. If you redefine them then they will be usable.

Yes. The stock Pogo E02 has tftp. But you will need netconsole or serial console to get to it (and if u-boot was not corrupted).

From http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/armv5te/boot/pogo_e02/uboot-pogo_e02.env I understand it should be able to boot FDT, but then again maybe only ext3 and certain constellations?
With the NAND mapped differently, I am trying to find out how safe (and feasible) it is to make changes by fw_setenv or reflash to bodhi's U-Boot from within Arch (and preferably keep the latter bootable as well alongside Debian and Stock).

Sadly (as you've seen in the forum over there) http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray gave no such advance warning. ;(

No, Arch u-boot could boot anything with some changes in u-boot envs (except stock Pogo OS). As an out of the box installation, it should be used only with Arch rootfs.

IIRC, It is the same as you would in Debian, since only mtd0 is being written to. If you list the mtds here, I would be more certain.

Will your U-Boot require "someone else's" dump of the original U-Boot (to chainload) presumably not preserved by Arch's installer?
