Pogo 02 not booting correctly

Hi,

I wanted to update to the latest u-boot via http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381
but it seems I messed up in the B. Flashing default u-boot envs image part...

The serial console states:
U-Boot 2016.05-tld-1 ...
...
Hit any key to stop autoboot: Timer from 10 to 0

When I don't abort it the last lines in the console are
loading uImage ...
** Bad device usb 0 **
loading uInitrd ...
** Bad device usb 0 **
loading DTB /boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb ...
** Bad device usb 0 **
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
PogoE02>

With no stick attached.

When I abort the autoboot I get directly
to
PogoE02>

How do I get into recovery mode, fix what's wrong and install
debian from scratch now?

The rescue system should be this: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,3896

highend,

Bodhi is going to want to see your whole boot log with the usb stick attached and also your printenv from the "PogoE02>" prompt after you interrupt the boot to see what to do next.

Hi feas,

the stick I used to boot from is dead. I wanted to setup everything from scratch
anyway because of this.

How can I capture the output of printenv from inside u-boot to e.g. a file to post it here?
Easy to do from the rescue system but I've never done this from u-boot.

it doesn't matter if it boots to linux he needs to see what it is trying to do to trouble shoot it first. might just be messed up envs.

you are connected to serial right? highlight and copy/paste then.

@feas,

Thanks for helping out :) all good advice.

@highend,

Everything looks good with your u-boot installation. There is no need to do anything related.

The USB rootfs is, as you said, is not good. So to install from scratch, you can create a new rootfs on this USB stick, using Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the kernel/rootfs thread:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Updated 20 Feb 2016:

This Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1.

Basic minimal Debian Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

Note: you must skip step 4

4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Skip this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time).

That's it. Boot wih the new rootfs.

Regarding rescue system v2. I'll find the post with the envs adjustments so that you can boot to it when the stick is not attached.

@bodhi

Thank you!

I've installed the new jessie root fs and upgraded the kernel to the newest version afterwards.
This works fine so far...

But sometimes, when the additional external usb3 harddisk is attached as well, it tries to boot from it instead of the usb stick.

The first partition of the usb stick has the label rootfs, so this shouldn't be the problem...

Yes, please!

Thanks again,

highend,

If you have more than 1 USB drive attached, and they both contain rootfs, which has a kernel file in /boot/uImage, then booting will not be corrected. So to avoid booting the wrong drive, you should either rename the uImage on the non-booting drive, or only plug it in after the system has booted.


Here is the rescue envs.

Unplug the USB drive, power up, interrupt serial console and,

setenv rescue_installed 1
setenv rescue_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs ro rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts $rescue_custom_params'
setenv rescue_bootcmd 'if test $rescue_installed -eq 1; then run rescue_set_bootargs; nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000; fi'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; run rescue_bootcmd; reset'
boot
