NSA325 NAND flash gone wrong - kwboot a kwb file OK!

I've done something wrong with NAND flashing latest Arch Linux U-Boot in stock env on a NSA325v2.

Now the box isn't self-booting / self-hosting anymore.

But with kwboot and a decent U-Boot kwb file I'm able to boot the box and have access to a "NSA325>"-prompt.

Now how to write the U-Boot inside kwboot to correct addresses? Plus I'd could use some advise for checking the enviroment for booting.

'inside kwboot' is just inside u-boot. Flush u-boot just the u-boot way.

Volker,

because you were able to "kwboot" into a current uBoot I would suggest you to boot debian from a prepared rootfs usb flashdisk as described here.

Put the working uboot image you used successfully with kwboot onto the flashdisk too.

Finally go ahead with the instruction provided by bodhi here.

For the NSA325v2 at least the environment needs to be flashed according B. Flashing default u-boot envs image before adding your own modifications.

Regards,
Joe

Do what Joe said, but use the 2015.10 NSA325 u-boot, to run kwboot. This makes sure you can boot all the way into Debian with its default envs.

Was able to set up a decent USB-Stick to boot a mini-Debian. Had a little struggle finding correct boot environment vars. Found some in this forum.

I'm able to boot from flash again with a matching Achlinux environment.

Thanks @Joe and @bodi
