[SOLVED] Pogo Plug v4 blinks green then red and reboots (Thank you Bodhi)

Hi,
I followed archlinuxarm.org installation guide a couple of times.
But it failed on wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz. So i created a fat drive with revert folder and rebooted.

Then I tried and went ahead with http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html

I could only go through to this command:
#SET MACADDRESS
/tmp/fw_setenv ethaddr "$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address)"

I replaced "address" with my MAC of the pogo plug. But I didn't put ":" (colons) after every 2 digits. So it gave me an error. And I panicked and rebooted.

Ever since its stuck on a boot loop. I tried everything from power cycling to fat32 drive with revert folder. But it doesn't seem to work.

What are my options now? Do I need to get a serial cable? If so will this work instead of CA-42:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/CP2102-USB-2-0-to-TTL-UART-Serial-Converter-KG074-/111724738805?hash=item1a035038f5

I did all this on a mac. But I have a dual boot system (Win+Mac). If I need to use Putty please link me a tutorial. Do I need to manually enter commands or is it an executable script?

Please help me out guys.

What is the LED behavior in the boot loop? does it flash green, then flashing red, then flashing green again? please describe it. And if you have a log of what you've done so far, then post it here, or pastebin it.

Yes this will work. Depending on how far your installation went. This might be the only way to recover. Again, the installation log would be helpful to determine this.

Putty is self explanatory, when you run it you will see what need to be done. Here is a very good instruction from varkey (for GoFlex Net):
http://varkey.in/seagate-goflex-net-serial-connection/

If you're not sure, post back after you've connected serial console.

Thanks for the quick reply. When I turn the power on it blinks green for like 5 seconds. Then blinks red for 2 seconds. And the light goes completely off for 2 secs. Then again the green for 5 secs. this keeps on happening.
I was following this tutorial: http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html

#SET MACADDRESS

pratikworld,

Ok, so you actually bailed out in the middle of the installation :) Fortunately, the command to set the MAC Address failed, so there is hope. However, the rest of the u-boot envs were not set (arcNumber, machid, and few other envs). The good thing is you've done the step about flashing u-boot envs.


At this point, I would try this as a best chance to get it boot Debian (it might boot OK even with the missing u-boot envs):

- Go to the kernel and rootfs thread and download the rootfs

Debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

This rootf is in this section

Quote

Updated 24 Feb 2015:

This rootfs is the first Debian jessie rootfs in my Kirkwood kernel/rootfs release series, and to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1.

And on another Linux box (if you don't have one, download Linux Live CD and boot it on Mac/PC). Follow the instruction to create the 3.18.5 rootfs on a USB stick.

Note about step 4 in this installation section, you want to use the DTB for the Pogo V4:

Quote

4. Create uImage with embbeded DTB (If this is not first time installation, please see Note 2 below).
..
cat dts/kirkwood-pogoplug_v4.dtb >> zImage.fdt

And after it's done, take this USB rootfs to your Pogo V4 and power up with it. Observe the LED light behavior and record it. Look for the dynamic IP of the Pogo V4 to appear in the network router, or use some scanning apps such as Linux nmap or IOS Fing to find it. Hopefully you will!

If you're not sure about some steps, post question. Or you can prepare the steps as you understand, and post the whole procedure here, so I can verify it for you.

If this does not work, don't worry. Once you've connected serial console, this will be solved for sure.

Hey Bodhi,
Never mind. I figured it out. I got in as root user and went through step 2 successfully.

Now at step 3 it still showed "Permission denied" even when I copy pasted the command.

But I didn't bail this time. I went ahead with step 4 which went without any errors.

I connected the pen drive to the plug and cold booted. It blinks green for a while, becomes yellow and then steady green throughout.
But I'm not able to see the plug on my dhcp anywhere. Also the ethernet light is on steady yellow behind the plug.
When I boot both green and yellow blink on the ethernet. But after the front gets steady green, the back ethernet only shows yellow.

Please help. Is this because of the error in step 3? If so what is the exact command that should be executed?

Thanks a lot for your help and support.

pratikworld,

> Please help. Is this because of the error in step

Yes. The solid greenLED is a good sign (kernel has started). But later the kernel has trouble mounting rootfs (because the errors in step 3). The error in step 3 is usually because you're not root user. You have to be root the entire time while you're extracting the rootfs. So it's best that you log in with "sudo su" first.

Its still giving the same error. Please have a look

pratikworld,

This is all you need to do (if the sdb1 is the USB drive that you want to create the rootfs on).

sudo su
mount /media/sdb1
cd /media/sdb1
tar -xjf Debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
sync

And then do the rest of the installation, including modified step 4:

Also when I try and mount it in Disk Utility of Ubuntu it gives me the following error:

Here's how I created the thumb drive.

I go into disk utility, select my pen drive and delete partition. Then I create a new partition by clicking the plus button.
Then I select DONT OVERWRITE EXISTING DATA. under type: CUSTOM. name: rootfs. And filesystem:ext3. I have to manully type in ext3. Then I click create.
After that I click on the gear menu -> edit mount options.
I turn Automatic mount options off. Enter MOUNT POINT: /media/sdb1 or /media/sdb1/rootfs (tried both). click OK.

Then when I press the play button to mount the drive it gives me the above error.

I can only mount the drive via the follwing command

mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdb1

pratikworld,

When you plug the USB stick into Ubuntu (or any Linux system), it will be assigned a mount letter. It could be: sda1, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1, ..... So that is the drive you need to use in the instruction. So if you format the drive like this successfully, then it must have been assigned as sdc1:

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# # e2fsck -f /dev/sdc1
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# # mke2fs -n /dev/sdc1
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# # e2fsck -f -b 8193 /dev/sdc1
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# sudo e2fsck -f -b 32768 -y /dev/sdc1

Then the sdb1 drive letter in the following commands should be replaced with sdc1. But the mount point in your Ubuntu system might have been: /mnt/sdc1. You have to find out what is the mount point and use it below (/media/sdb1 is an example of a typical mountpoint).

sudo su
cd /media/sdb1 
tar -xjf Debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1  zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-pogoplug_v4.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync

Note that you have to do everything as root user. Not using sudo.

Please reread the installation instruction.

This is not a command to execute:

 /dev/sde1      /               ext2    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

Actually, you can skip step 3. It is not necessary to do it now.

FYI @pratikworld, you should have ran the command as is (cut/paste) like everything else in the tutorial. Not sure why you would change "address" with your MAC address when nothing of the sort was stated. I even provided a console log incase there was any confusion on the commands or it's output as a reference. Sorry, don't mean to be too harsh, just wanted to point out the mistake.

At any rate, all you really need to do is create a USB drive with the Debian rootfs and you should be fine. No need for a serial connection at this point.

I would recommend going with Debian-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 for the rootfs which is a little simpler since it doesn't require the fdt file and some of the extra commands.

Thanks for jumping in to help, gray!

There is small possibility that 3.14 or 3.16 will not work in this case (some envs are missing). So I played it safe and recommended 3.18 rootfs :) But it's true, I always recommend 3.16 rootfs because it is simpler.

Hey grayman4hire,
The thing was that the MACADRESS command gave me an error when I copied and pasted. Hence I got confused and tried to modify it.


I also tried installing 3.16

But still doesnt show up on my router.

Also, the first time I tried to install arch, it was on an SD card. Now we are trying to get it to boot from a USB. Does that make a difference?
I am plugging in the usb on the top slot.

Again, thank a lot for taking the time out to help me. You guys are the best. :)

"Pogoplug gets stuck at yellow led in the front." - This might be okay. Did you check your router if your Pogoplug received an IP Address (or used a IP network scanner tool) like Bodhi suggested?

I did. It doesn't show up. :(
Should I try 3.14 as well?

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt. Also are you using ext2 or ext3? Try both.

I'm using ext3.
Will try and update. Thanks.

As I've mentioned, the 3.14 and 3.16 rootfs might not work because of missing envs. If you can't get it boot then try 3.18 rootfs.

If neither works then serial console will solve it.

So I tried everything that you guys suggested.

ext2 with 3.14 stayed on yellow led in the front, But the ethernet had both the LEDs blinking. So that was a progress in a way. But didnt show up in my dhcp clients. Neither on the Fing app.

ext2 with 3.18.5 also stayed on yellow. The ethernet port also was stuck on yellow light.

Then again I flashed with ext3 with 3.18.5. Now even that is stuck on yellow led in the front.

Now I also have the CP2102 serial cable soldered on the board. http://bit.ly/1eY1sOL

Please guide me how to proceed further.

pratikworld,

Connect the serial console to your PC running WIndows/OSX/Linux. See varkey setup:
http://varkey.in/seagate-goflex-net-serial-connection/

- Plug in the current USB rootfs that you created (whether it's 3.14, 3.16 or 3.18, does not matter).
- Power up the Pogo and watch the boot log. Capture the boot and post it here.

I tried in Putty as well as Ubuntu. The cursor stops blinking when I plug in the power. But nothing happens. There is no log. I checked all the connectors. They are perfectly in place.
The drivers load fine as well. I can change port numbers and all.

Do I have a bad converter?

Try switching TX and RX. This CPxxxx converter pins are already crossed. So Pogo TX should be connected to the converter TX.

Alright Bodhi. That worked brilliantly. Heres the log of booting thumb drive on 3.14
