NSA310 Installation Problems

Greetings,

I am trying to get Debian on a Zyxel NSA310. I have flashed u-boot to 2016.05 but haven't had success in getting this to boot off of a USB flash drive. Below is my POST and printenv.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi chad,

You have flashed 2016.05 uboot image. But you did not flash the default 2016.05 envs image for it.

Let me find the post where I have written instruction for exactly this problem.

Here is the instruction:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,29362,29390#msg-29390

You need to adjust the env dtb_file to the DTB file name for NSA310.

setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-nsa310.dtb'

There are 3 variations of the NSA310 so later you will want to select the right one. But the basic DTB should get it booting.

NOTE: you dont need to use kwboot. Just use serial console like you already did above.

chad,

You need to do the whole procedure like I posted above.

Here is the instruction:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,29362,29390#msg-29390

And while doing that, since the procedure use the GoFlexNet DTB (that's the only thing you need to do differently than what's in that procdure).

You need to adjust the env dtb_file to the DTB file name for NSA310.

setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-nsa310.dtb'

bodhi,

Thanks!!! It boots in to debian. I have tried both dtb files with seemingly similar results. The only odd thing I am noticing is that the ethernet MAC is being set to 00:00:00:00:00:30 over what is being set in the env vars. Any ideas there?

Hi chad,

Upgrade the kernel to 4.10-kirkwood-tld-1. And then in Debian, set the ethaddr to the real one:

fw_setenv ethaddr xxxxxxx

see if it takes. I've changed the DTS to allow this in Linux to make it a little easier.
