Pogoplug Mobile won't boot

I've been looking for answer in the forum for days still can't get the Pogoplug Mobile to boot.

The machine is pogoplug mobile.
I modified the uboot following http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11663.
I tried rootfs on both usb drive and SD card following the instruction here(http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096).
It won't boot. The light is off. No ip is assigned.
I can connect with serial cable.

bruce_shen,

You are running a much older u-boot than this latest u-boot. But it should work fine.

Try creating the 3.16 rootfs on USB drive, as I described here:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,23425,23427#msg-23427

Boot with this 3.16 rootfs into Debian, and then consider upgrading u-boot and kernel.

Thanks for your prompt reply, Bodhi.

I used "Debian-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 md5:3c55093a67ea6166b31c9d111d896727".
It didn't boot either. Same serial output as before.

Maybe i didn't make myself clear. The pogoplug was from a friend. He never cracked it, neither did he enable ssh. He forgot the password. I tried tread http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,20706,20716, 2nd way around to get ssh.

2) Backdoor Method (credit to GTVHacker.com)
Make sure your Pogoplug is connected to your network and has internet access.
Check your router or use a network scanning tool (iNet Network Scanner on iPhone) to determine the IP Address of the Pogoplug.
From a Linux computer (e.g. another Pogoplug running Debian/Alarm) run the below curl command.
curl -k "https://root:ceadmin@[PogoplugIPAddress]/sqdiag/HBPlug?action=command&command=dropbear%20start";
Note that the backdoor method is not persistent (SSH access not available after a reboot).

Changed the uboot. Then made a roofs usb drive.


Is there any other steps I missed?

The u-boot envs you listed were good to boot a rootfs such as Debian-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 with USB drive. But the boot error above indicate that your rootfs was not prepared correctly.

> I used

You should look at the 3.16 rootfs instruction I posted above. Make sure you follow the instruction very closely (i.e. exactly as instructed). I think you might have a mis-step while creating the 3.14 rootfs. Often time people substitue a different command, or skip some step (but that is always wrong thing to do, because instruction must be followed exactly, verbatim)

After you created the 3.16 rootfs, boot with it and capture serial console log and post it here.

-bodhi

There is a mistake in my last post. I did use "Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
md5: c70033d09a82832ba75fd9cfa361c2c5", not 3.14.

Your instruction seems pretty clear. Since the u-boot env is good, all I need to do are,
1. format a flash drive to ext3
2. copy Debian-3.16.0-kirkwood-tld-2-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 to it
3. extracted file with "tar -xjf ", and sync
4. Then labelled it to rootfs

Anything I missed? I'll do it again and post the serial output.

bruce_shen,

The USB partition is still not regconnized:

> ** Bad partition 1 **
> ** Block device usb 1 not supported
> ** Block device usb 2 not supported
> ** Block device usb 3 not supported
> ** Bad partition 1 **
> ** Bad partition 1 **

So it means you have no boot drive, as far as u-boot is concerned.

1. Did you create this on a laptop? which system?
2. Were you root user when you create the rootfs?

You could mount the USB drive on another Linux box (prefereably the one you used to create this), and check the info on the drive. Assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1

fdisk -l
mount
e2label /dev/sdb1
ls -lart /media/sdb1/boot

PS.

The next thing to try is to just skip every miscellaneous stuff, and try to boot with USB, see if you will get further, or getting the same error:

- Interrupt serial console
- Execute:

setenv bootcmd 'usb start; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop'
boot

1. Did you create this on a laptop? which system?
I did the rootfs flash drive on both another pogo E02 (it has debian on it) and vmware (debian 8.2) on my desktop.

2. Were you root user when you create the rootfs?
Yes.

I labelled the flash drive "rootfs".

Files under /boot of the flash drive are,

could it be the flash drives' problem? I used one of the flash drive on another pogoplug E02, it worked fine.

I guess I might did something wrong when doing fdisk and format the flash drive.

I'll report back soon.

Finally got it work. I made a mistake making rootfs flash drive. Now, it boots to Debian3.18.5 and kernel 4.2.
:)

I plan to update the U-Boot (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381). I believe my U-Boot is the stock one.

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00200000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00300000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 00300000 00020000 "uImage2"
mtd3: 00800000 00020000 "failsafe"
mtd4: 07000000 00020000 "root"

Not

mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"

Before I follow the instruction to flash U-Boot, anything needs to be done? In that thread, it says "As long as mtd0 is defined as in the following then it will be OK". My mtd0 is not as same as that one.

BTW, pogomobile boots from flash drive, not SD card. Is it because the old U-Boot? SD card should boot after I flash the U-Boot, right?

It is OK to flash to the Pogo Mobile mtd0. u-boot will use only the 1st 1MB (for its image and the envs), the 2nd 1MB in mtd0 is not used.

It will boot any type of disk drives.

Caution: once you flash new u-boot, it will be no longer possible to boot stock OS in NAND.

Sounds great!

Don't think I need to boot stock OS now.

I'll post the result after update.

Hello Bodhi

Updated the U-boot. I didn't see any error during the process and saw "U-Boot 2014.07-tld-2 (Sep 19 2014 - 16:13:05)" at booting.

bruce_shen,

Did you boot with only the USB drive ttached? and then plug in the SD card after the system is running?

USB drive attached only. No SD card at all.

bruce_shen,

This is wrong:

rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts $rescue_custom_params

Power up, interrupt serial console and

setenv rootfstype ext3
boot

After booting successfully into Debian, set it for real

fw_setenv rootfstype ext3

Hi bodhi,

That's the reason. Finally, got it worked. Thanks!

Last question, is there anyway that I can boot with USB drive of ext3 and ext4 both?

You can take advantage of the new Debian kernel: it will detect the fs type for you. Try with a Ext4 rootfs:

So do the similar step:

- interrupt serial console and remove the env:

setenv rootfstype
boot

- After boot into Debian, do it for real:

fw_setenv rootfstype

Warning: for others reading this, should only try the above if you have serial console or netconsole!

Hi Bodhi,

I do appreciate your patience and help.

I guess I'm gonna begin to learn something about embedded linux. Maybe can help someone here some day.

@yang,

My pleasure! please stick around. You can always post in Debian section when you start installing packages and have problems in the process of learning Embedded Linux. Others will probably benefit from issues you might run into, or you might be doing something interesting that we have not thought about even.
