Trying to restore to Original Firmware Pogoplug E02

Some years ago I replaced the original firmware of 1 of the pogoplugs. I used the usb stick for something else and that resulted in a non booting Pogoplug.

During the years this kept bugging me, so I'm now putting some effort in restoring it to the unboxing condition.

Many, many hours have been burned to get to the following result below (which was interesting to achieve).

OX820 # setenv uinitrd_addr '0x60e00000'
OX820 # setenv uimage_addr '0x60500000'
OX820 # setenv dtb_addr '0x62c00000'
OX820 # setenv ide_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10'
OX820 # setenv dt_bootm 'bootm $uimage_addr $uinitrd_addr $dtb_addr'
OX820 # setenv dt_load_dtb 'ext2load ide 0:1 $dtb_addr /boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb'
OX820 # setenv dt_load_initrd 'ext2load ide 0:1 $uinitrd_addr /boot/uInitrd'
OX820 # setenv dt_load_uimage 'ext2load ide 0:1 $uimage_addr /boot/uImage'
OX820 # setenv dt_ide_boot 'run dt_load_uimage; run dt_load_initrd; run dt_load_dtb; run dt_bootm'
OX820 # setenv dt_ide_bootcmd 'run ide_set_bootargs; run dt_ide_boot'
OX820 # setenv dt_bootcmd_ide 'ide reset; run dt_ide_bootcmd; reset'
OX820 # setenv bootcmd 'run dt_bootcmd_ide'
OX820 # boot

I think I created a backup of an original Pogoplug E02 nand (backup is 128mb).


But I need some help, because I'm stuck due to a lack of "communication" towards the pogoplug.
- No wget Ip connection
- Can't mount usb stick (FAT-fs (sdb1): codepage cp437 not found)
- TFTP solution does not work (no IP)

Only the serial connection is "solid" ;-)

What can be done to make a next step. Currently booting from SATA drive, to access the HW,

myhobby,

First, the thread title is wrong. You have the Pogolug V3 OXNAS, not the E02.

The missing last step is to ensure the rootfs is bootable. Your rootfs on the SATA drive was probably not created correctly.

What I would do next is trying to boot into Dedian, using USB flash drive. On another Linux box, as root user, prepare the new rootfs on USB following the instruction in the release thread, very closely. And remember to skip step 4.:

Scroll down to this section:

Updated 02 Aug 2017: 

Rootfs Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 was uploaded. 

Basic Debian stretch Oxnas rootfs for Popo Pro/Classic V3 plug: 

- tarball size: 180M 
- install size: 477M 
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, dialog, bz2, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, sysvinit-utils, mtd-utils. 
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/rc0.d/K08halt 
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile 
- root password: root

After that, plug in this USB. And power up, No need to change any of the u-boot envs.

Please post the entire serial console log (from u-boot banner to the point where you see the Debian login prompt, or when it stops booting).
