Pogoplug Pink E02 no network

Hi,
I have a Pink v02 Pogoplug that had Archlinix and SAMBA server running nicely. For some reason (update perhaps?) the setup stopped working a few months back and I've finally found some time to try to get this fixed. When plugged in the front LED does not turn on and only the green LED on the ethernet port lights up. The device does not show up as a connected device in the router status.

I connected the serial port with nothing connected to the USB ports and here is what I get:

Any suggestions on what I should try next? I assume I need to resolve this network connection issue before I can try reinstalling ALARM.

I have at my disposal another Pink pogoplug (that I run stock and do not want to risk). PCs with Windows 7 and Linux Mint. I'm a newbie regarding Archlinux and this low-level stuff.

Thank you!

The LED behavior indicated that your Arch rootfs must have been left in a limbo state somehow during update. To troubleshoot::

- With the USB rootfs plugged in, power up, let it boot. Capture the serial console log and post it here.

- Also mount the USB stick on another Linux box and fsck it, see if there is any error. And get these directories listing and post it here (if it is mounted as /media/sdb1):

ls -latr /media/sdb1/
ls -latr /media/sdb1/boot

Hello Bodhi,
So I checked the USB drive and it was corrupted. I was not able to re-format it since it's now "read only". Tried with gparted and in Windows with the same result. Unsure if this happened before or after the problems started.

I have a small (spinning) USB hard drive that I want to use so I downloaded the archlinux file from here:
http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
and extracted it. When I plug the drive into the Pogoplug and reboot the serial console shows this log:

Looks like it's looking for files that are no longer present in the tar...

I think I'd like to try loading Debian instad of Archlinux this time in hope that it will a little easier to use with the awesome help I see on this site. Mainly I want to set up a SAMBA server like I had before. Hoping that it won't take me as long as it did on ALARM. I understand that there's a nice GUI front-end for setting some of this stuff up on Debian.

Update:
I found another USB thumb drive that I had lying around. Did the same thing as above but this time got the following results... not sure why the USB thumb drive works but the USB spinning drive does not.

Should I bother installing a rescue system? If so, which one?

Waynosan,

That HDD has timeout error. Usually this means the USB controller was initialized too slow for u-boot. My custom u-boot build has a usb_ready_retry variable that might help. But since you are running Arch, stay with Arch u-boot if you want things simple.

Arch also has a rescue system that takes the whole NAND. But if you like a much smaller one for Pogo E02 then install Jeffs rescue system:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,3896

Note: no need to change arcNumber if you only use it as a rescue system. This rescue system works for Pogo E02 without further mods.

Bohdi,
I'd actually like to give Debian a whirl. I'm following the steps described here:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,23727

I started going through the steps to update the U-boot here:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381,12381#msg-12381

It's been slow going since it appears that most of the commands that are used like wget, U-boot tools, etc. did not come with the distro or are buried somewhere where I cannot find them. The path seems to be setup correctly in the environment but for some reason commands do not run unless I type in the absolute path. How do I fix that?

I've downloaded all the required files. One item I wanted to check regarding was the my cat /proc/mtd only show two mtd sections, U-boot and rootfs. Your text stated that that shouldn't be a problem so I'll continue on when I get home this evening. Next I need to get the u-boot and other files from dropbox onto the Pogoplug's hard-drive somehow...

Create USB Debian rootfs on another Linux box. Download all the needed files to that. And plug it in the Pogo while you're running Arch.

Hi Bodhi,
I installed your uBoot per step A from here:



confirmed that it shows in the serial console when booting:

U-Boot 2015.10-tld-1 (Nov 06 2015 - 15:46:25 -0800)

I did not flash the default uboot.envs or do any of the other steps.

I created a Debian rootfs on another USB flash drive and plugged it into the PP E02 while it's running Archlinux... not quite sure what I need to do now. What I would like is to install Debian over the Archlinux installation so it's on the USB HD and I do not have to use the USB flash drive.

After that's working I want to plug this in to the PP:
IVIEW 4 Bays 3.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosure

which I have populated with 4 HD drives and share them on my network.

Hi Waynosan,

> I did not flash the default uboot.envs or do any
> of the other steps.

Is there a reason why didn't you flash the default u-boot envs and stop there? you should flash it so the new u-boot will boot Debian correctly.

But warning: after you flashed default u-boot envs image, booting back to Arch will not be possible without changing some envs.

You can't install over the rootfs. It has to be copied/restored to an empty partition. So you should try to boot wih Debian USB rootfs first. And then after confirming that it is running, you can prepare the USB HDD.

- Shutdown the Pogo E02. Take the USB flash and the USB HDD to another Linux box
- Log in as root
- Wipe out Arch installation from the existing partition
- Copy the rootfs from the USB flash to the USB HDD.

Bodhi, thank you for the reply. At the time it wasn't totally clear to me if I had to do this step or not, but now I have my answer. ;) Coincidentally I did try to boot the Debian rootfs (USB stick), and as you suggested, it failed to boot.

Sounds like I should make a backup of the archlinux install that I've done to-date in case things blow up on me again (figuratively speaking). Are you referring to these envs in order to get Arch to boot:

fw_setenv arcNumber 3542
fw_setenv machid dd6

or something else?

I'd like to that so I can fall back on Arch if things go sour.

Understood. I've taken some effort in setting up Arch already so I'd like to hold off on wiping the rootfs on the USB HDD until I've tested that Debian will boot (as per your suggestion).

I'll go through the process of flashing the default t-Boot envs (step B) first. Will work on backing up what I have until you get a chance to answer my envs question above.

ps: Please IM me your paypal email... I must buy you a 6-pack for your eternal patience.

Waynosan,

Yes, definitely make a backup of:

- Listing of u-boot envs
- Arch rootfs.

It is a trivial change in u-boot env to boot Arch rootfs from my u-boot image. So no worry about that. I wrote the caveat so that you're aware that another step is needed. The change involves pointing to a correct place in Arch rootfs so that the Pogo E02 DTB can be loaded. IIRC, that's all. I posted how to do this before in the forum. If you want to be able to boot both, then the envs setup needs a few more variables, but entirely doable.

Since you have serial console, as long as you're being very careful with the env image flashing, it's will be relatively safe.

Bodhi,
OK, I went through the steps of flashing the default envs.... everything looked good until step B f. There was no /boot/dts directory in my arch so I just cleared that variable

fw_setenv dtb_file

From there I went back to step A and I rebooted with the only the Debian rootfs USB flash drive plugged into the PP. I got this in the serial console:

At this point I wasn't sure what happened so I plugged in the USB HDD with Arch and rebooted but that won't boot anymore either.

Waynosan,

At this point, to boot Debian USB rootfs:

Power up, interrupt serial console and:

setenv dtb_file /'boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb'
boot

And to boot Arch rootfs,

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params'
setenv dtb_file /'boot/dtbs/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb'
boot

See if you can do both. If either boot failed, then list the u-boot envs right after interrupt serial console:

printenv

Oh I forgot this about Arch: bootargs also needs modification because there is no uInitrd file.

I've updated the above instruction.

Bodhi,
You are the man! Both worked. It's midnight here so I'll have to leave trying to set up Debian until later. It's awesome that I can keep my Samba running in Arch until that point. Don't forget to PM me your paypal if you haven't already.

Do I still need to go through part D. Add uEnv.txt to /boot directory?

Have a good night

Waynosan,

Cool :)

No need to. Only if you want to play with the envs for some purpose and don't want to mess up the boot envs.


BTW, I have a backup blog: bodhi's corner.
