Bricked NSA320S during 2017.07 flash

That's abnormal. I don't recall anybody has reported this. How old is the 2.5" HDD in the 2nd slot? have you tried swaping these two 1<-->2?

There should not be any click.

U-boot 2017.07-tld-1 activated the GPIO for the second HDD already. That's why you can use the 2.5" HDD. All Kirkwood boxes use the same SATA driver, and all we need to do is to set a GPIO to activate power. This box is GPIO 33 (as I recall from reading the GPL source).

Now with this command, does either of the two 3.5" HDDs making any click sound in Debian when you access them?

setenv init_sata 'mw.l f1010104 c70e0ffd; ide reset'

========

I'll post the envs for you in the next post.

Note: This mod only should be used for the NAS320S. It does not apply to other Kirkwood boxes.

Asuming the bootcmd env was unchanged from initial installation for U-boot 2017.07-tld-1.

bootcmd=run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; reset

From power off, press the power button to power up, interrupt serial console and,

setenv init_sata_power 'mw.l f1010104 c70e0ffd'
setenv bootcmd 'run init_sata_power; run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; reset'

and then

boot

Observe serial console log to see if two 3.5" HDDs were initialized by the kernel (each showing the capacity of the disk). If all went well, log into Debian, and

fw_setenv init_sata_power 'mw.l f1010104 c70e0ffd'
fw_setenv bootcmd 'run init_sata_power; run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; reset'

Shutdown, and power up again, let it boot automatically , and then verify in Debian that the two HDDs still being initialized by the kernel correctly.

I have swapped in between 2.5inch disks as first happened. I completly agree there should be no clicks... It may be something particular with this NAS and more looking into this I start to believe this. I may restore stock software on it just to proove it. I shall ask how to use nandwrite adressess to restore it but after testing.

I shall get back to you later today with results of the latest tests.

Much apreciated

Hi
I have same box, when I power on nothing happens, no post on setial console. if i boot from serial i get it up but i cant load debian from usb. What im thinkin i flashing of uboot went wrong and env have been reseted. 2 USB was pluged in, on both was loaded latest uboot, one is FAT and on the second is EXT4 with debian, 2 HDD are in, should I take them out?

in other post i found this

NSA310 is new enough so you can recover it easily with "kwboot" tool and serial (and a linux PC), see here.
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852

This is the command that should work in your case

./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b u-boot.kwb -p

Then you need to flash the uboot as you tried before.
kwboot only loads u-boot in RAM.

fatload usb 0 0x1000000 uboot.bin
nand erase 0x00000 0x100000
nand write 0x1000000 0x00000 0x100000
reset

I was loading into

fatload usb 1 0x0 0x800000 uboot.kwb
reading 0x800000
** Unable to read file 0x800000 **

but later in same post you was telling guy to load into

usb start
fatload usb 0:3 0x2000000 lede-kirkwood-nsa310b-squashfs-factory.bin

Where I shoul load to get succes?
I have NSA320s

mervin,

So you want to flash u-boot in serial console? is that correct? if it is, use an Ext3 USB.

Remove all USB drives except one with u-boot.kwb on it

usb start
ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 uboot.kwb

Yes, I need to flash uboot and flash new enviroments and set enviroments to boot from USB

thanks

Thats worked well. its booting now. I flashed uboot.2017.07-tld-1.nsa310s.mtd0.kwb

now I will need to flash uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img

the right way it will be this

ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 uboot.img
nand erase 0x00000 0x1000000
nand write 0x800000 0xc00000x100000

or this

ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 uboot.img
nand erase 0x0 0x1000000
nand write 0x800000 0xc0000 0x20000

Hi can you send me your env and uEnvs

Thanks



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/15/2021 03:07PM by mervin.

mervin,

No need to flash it. The internal envs are almost the same as the one in the envs image.

So reboot, interrupt serial console and

printenv

If it looks good (you can post them here for me to look over if you like to do that before the next command).

Execute saveenv to let u-boot flash it automatically:

saveenv

There was some typos in the internal envs, and some adjustment need for this box, so I need to show you where to do that. After saveenv, list them again

printenv

USB is formated to ext4 and its set in fstab

mervin,

This USB drive has some problem being initalized by u-boot. This happens rarely but does with some USB brand/model. This 2017.07-tld-1 u-boot has a patch to fix that. But it does not work for all cases. So use a different USB flash drive brand (such as SanDisk) to get around this issue.

> I have make a changes to load both HDDs

The boot log looks good. But you need to restore the original uImage because you are booting with the new u-boot.

Mount the HDD rootfs on another Linux box. Assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1

cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a uImage uImage.nsa320s
cp -a uImage.orig uImage
sync

And then unmount, bring it back to the NSA320s and boot again.

Not bad. But not great either.


Since you are booting with all 3 drives plugged in. Make sure that only the USB drive has the rootfs on it. And only it has partition label rootfs.

When you want to set up booting with HDD rootfs, then the attached USB cannot be the one that has rootfs on it.

To check for the partition label on another Linux box, you need to use command line. For example,

e2label /dev/sdb1

And the USB partition should be formatted using command line fdisk. If Ext4 is used, it must be "finalized" immediately, the default for Ext4 is lazy_init, which will not work for rootfs drive.

Tomorrow I will create new debian usb and make it to ext3.

Anyway what I have spotted that the network and front leds are not working and HDD is making clicking sound repeatedly

Thanks

hi
when I plug usb with EXT3 I got same results. but when I pulled out both HDDs, than debian booted without errors. today I will try to plug in EXT4 usb and see what it will hapen.
should I now upgrade debian to newest or just leave?
What is best app to get it running as NAS again? omv?

its working with EXT4 as well. I add a bootlog.

Its might hapened its debian instaled on one of HDDs. I got it with bad enviroments setup, I tryed something to work. and then was sitting of shelf for couple years

When I put in Hdds in debian didn't boot up. But when I deleted apparitions of Hdds I got debian running. I'm starting thinking if its not easier to get debian running from hdd as from USB stick.

mervin,

Exactly. The problem could be fixed by adjusting the partition label of the HDD rootfs to something other than rootfs. For example, sata_rootfs.

When you want to boot with HDD, the u-boot env should be:

setenv devices 'ide usb'

or just

setenv devices 'ide'

dont know what to do to fixit :(

mervin,

You have serial console so you should not enable netconsole. It is expected to run on the box wih IP 192.168.100.127. Is this the box where you also run serial console?

But it is not a real problem. You can run 2 terminals on 192.168.100.127, one with serial console and one with netconsole. And then you will see that the output coming out alternately in both terminals.

> Error: invalid dtb and unrecognized/unsupported
> machine ID

This error is a conflict where the DTB was not loaded properly. It is easy to fix.

But first I want to see the complete u-boot log. So do either:

1. Run 2 terminals, 1 with serial console, 1 with netconsole.
Or
2. Change the IP of 192.168.100.127 to some other number so that the NSA320S will not see it is running. In this case, the serial console will have the complete log.

And please post the entire log here (or 2 logs if you chose to do number 1).

in netconsole I didnt get anything

I dont get message to interupt serial console. its any way to reset enviroments?

mervin,

> I dont get message to interupt serial console. its

Since netconsole is activated in preboot, the input goes there. So you need 2 terminal approach to be able to interrupt u-boot at count down.

Hi.
I managed to solve the problem with netconsole, was bit tuff because I was not geting output, but input was working, I was typing on blind but I get it running.
but I came across another problem, secon HDD making a clicking noise(initialising or something similar) every minute or so, when i dissable this then debian dont see it

init_sata_power 'mw.l f1010104 c70e0ffd'

its no other way to get 2 HDD working?

Updated 23 Aug 2020:

Kernel linux-5.8.3-kirkwood-tld-1 package has been uploaded. The following features were added/updated:

- BFQ IO Scheduler is now the default in the kernel. This is an improvement in making the system more responsive when under memory stress (Note: use a large swap space to avoid OOM killer).
- Added ISCSI Target capability (as loadable module).
- Updated Zyxel NSA320S capabilty to bring up 3.5" HDD in 2nd slot.

I'll take a look to see if somehow the DTS was at the older version. But try to plug in a 2.5" HDD at the 2nd slot to see if everything is OK.

Hi

I was trying my best do get NAS up and running, but no luck. I made fresh usb with ext3 partition. instaled 5.2.9 then upgraded to 5.8.3
here are bootlog in different situations. I will say best run what i get was with USB + HDD in 2nd slot + init sata power, the rest of runs was without init sata power. what I think I must reset enviroment to default with your script from 2016, Im lost dont know what to do to get it running without issues :(
