help scream from a Noob. PogoE02 doesn't boot.

This is what I saw on serial connection with my Pogoplug E02

So I'm new in uboot and also new in linux etc.

I just want to setup arch linux or debian into my pogo plug to use it as NAS, torrent client and DLNA server.
Can you help me ?

Bodhi does travel and might not be able to answer right away so you might want to try these to get closer before he can respond.


Have you setup the Debian rootfs on a usb stick per Bodhi's instructions?

If not go to here and scroll down to: Updated 24 Jul 2017: and follow the instructions skipping step 4.



It looks like there was a problem setting the environment variables, follow the below example for each of the entries below. #### is just a note to you, do not include it in the setenv.


Example: PogoE02> setenv arcNumber 3542

bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec'

PogoE02> saveenv

PogoE02> printenv

Post your entire printenv for review

CfromEarth,

feas was right. Your box envs are all messed up. That was because you did not flash the default envs image.

Quote

8. Flashing default u-boot envs image:

As described in step 1, u-boot envs must be defined in etc/fw_env.config as

# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

A special section (B. Flashing default u-boot envs image) about flashing default u-boot envs is included at the end of this installation procedure. Please follow the instruction in this section B to perform this step before continuing with step 9.

And as feas mentioned, create the Debian rootfs first, using Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (Updated 24 Jul 2017). It is easier to have rootfs created and pluggin the box before installing or fixing u-boot problem.

You can either set envs individually at serial consle like example above (feas needs to correct them with single quotes). Or use instruction in this post to run a script at serial console:

Hi feas,

Everything in the env value needs to wrapped in single quotes (to ensure spaces and = are taken as literal). For example,

setenv  load_dtb 'echo loading DTB $dtb_file ...; load $bootdev $device $load_dtb_addr $dtb_file'

ahh, thanks, I just copied the text from the u-boot environment files. will fix for reference.
