Dockstar bricked

hello
i have a dockstar and i bricket it.
With a bus pirate, i succed to reinstall temporaly uboot according to this method :

Hi ré,

Good job unbricking the Dockstar so far!

Is the USB rootfs drive plugged in to any of the USB ports? if not, you could create the 3.16 rootfs on a USB stick as recommended here. And then:

- Insert the USB rootfs drive
- Power up with your JTAG, load u-boot like you did
- interrupt serial console

version
boot

Please post serial console log here if you like, or if you can't boot.

Once you are in Debian, you can flash new u-boot 2015.10 from the u-boot thread and flash new default envs to make it permanent.

ok, thanks for your response
With the USB rootfs drive, the post serial console is :

You are running an pretty old u-boot. So the 3.18.5 rootfs uImage needs to have to dockstar DTB appended (step 4b). Or you can use the rootfs version 3.16 and it will boot as is without having to do that.

ok, thanks. I used the rootfs version 3.16 and it's ok. I will try install new verison of u-boot
R2

another question : with this rootfs on usb stick, i have many messages that indicate me the rootfs is in only read, not in write mode (so, for example,, impossible to install mtd utils)
Is it possible to change this?
Thanks

Ré,

It is not normal to see it RO. This usually causes by some file system errors in the rootfs. So you should take the USB rootfs to another Linux box and run fsck. After that the rootfs should be RW after booting into Debian.
