Boot stock firmware while no USB/IDE present for Pogoplug V3 OXNAS

Hi,

I tried to modify the Uboot env settings to try to boot from USB or IDE first,
if both are not present, then boot from the internal flash/stock firmware.

bootcmd=run bootcmd_uenv; run dt_bootcmd_usb; run bootcmd_stock; reset

the complete system configration:

Stock Pogoplug OS:

 U-Boot (1.1.2 Jul 29 2010)

cat /proc/mtd0

however while no usb/ide present, it will try to reboot instead of boot the internal stock firmware:

I can stop the booting process and have it boot to stock firmware via running
run bootcmd_stock

what should I change here to have it auto boot the stock firmware if no usb/ide present?

Thanks in adavance

Try this:

Stop the booting process in serial console or netconsole:

setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; if run dt_bootcmd_usb; then echo "booting Debian..."; else echo "booting stock..."; run bootcmd_stock; fi;  reset'
boot

If this works, boot with USB or HDD into Debian, and set it for real:

fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; if run dt_bootcmd_usb; then echo "booting Debian..."; else echo "booting stock..."; run bootcmd_stock; fi;  reset'

Please post back if this works for you (I'll modify the instruction to make it more robust).

Remove the reset command from the end of your dt_bootcmd_usb and it should proceed to run the bootcmd_stock.

Right! there should be only one reset at the end of bootcmd.

Got it!

Thanks Ray and Bodhi

Originally I copied the booting process settings from this forum, that instruction's booting process ended at trying the usb/ide then do reboot.

I added the 'bootcmd_stock' back but forgot to remove the reset command before this which is in 'dt_bootcmd_usb';
