Issues with Cisco ON100 booting
May 11, 2018 04:12AM
Hi,

First post here so sorry if I seem vague.

I've been working on getting OpenWRT running on my Cisco ON100 which is a Marvell Kirkwood based device.

I'll preface this by saying my experience with this stuff is lacking, the only other device kind of like this I've messed with was a PC Engines AMD Geode box that I wanted to use for the same purpose.

I got it all working, booted into OpenWRT and then for whatever reason I issued 
nand erase
Can't remember why! But then I did 
reset

And nothing happened, now I'm stuck with a device that doesn't boot. I get Power and both LAN and MON Link/ACT lights on solid.

I fired up my ThinkPad with Debian on it and tried kwboot, following the progress bodhi made in 2016 with the u-boot KWB files and managed to get it to boot over the UART.

Great! So then what did I do wrong? Wiped the partitions from the NAND. I was pretty tired at this point.

I have no idea why I've done this but I have a tendency to break things after they're all working.

Could anyone assist? I think I could sort this by writing someone's NAND dump from a ON100.

Thanks,

EDIT: May be worth noting I remember it finding a bad block on the NAND, that's probably why I ran the erase command

Great! meaning you only need a good nanddump from somebody to unbrick it.

I don't have the NAND dump saved for this device, I guess rayknight or joey still have this device. Perhaps they can help you.

My Cisco ON100 has been on the shelf too long :) I don't know when I will resurrect this project (I have bought a bad unit and not sure if it will even boot up anymore). I kind of lost interest in this since Joey stopped.

Let's see if these gentlement can help you and we'll go from there.

Thanks bodhi, your work has been much appreciated. Hopefully those guys can chime in

My other idea was if I can partition the NAND again and somehow flash your 2.18 uboot maybe that'd work?

I'm not sure. 2.18 version might have been close to working. I'll have to look at my notes for this box and see what was still not working. Or perhaps it was just a case of I was burned out and shelved this project.

Yeah I think the LEDs need some tweaking (MON and LAN link/act lights were on when no cable connected but act light seems to flash fine when connected). Both NICs worked and got addresses.

DHCP command seems to work but didn't set gateway as I could ping local devices but not public IPs

LED is really not that important. But it can be fixed eventually.

Now that was great! I remember that was the last issue and we have fixed it apparently.

Did you set the u-boot envs like this (assuming your router is 192.168.0.1, and your Ciso is 192.168.0.100): 

setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.100
setenv dnsip 192.168.0.1
setenv gatewayip 192.168.0.1
setenv netmask 255.255.255.0

Well the DHCP server will send this info in the acknowledgement message so I didn't bother to set it manually, I should do that then?

Just thought I'd mention the LED behaviour anyway :)

When testing DHCP I usually do and then remove the envs one by one until I see they are populated OK by DHCP.

I'll see what it's doing then with DHCP

I fired it up again Friday night and found that when I ran 
mtdparts
all the partitions were still there.
But I deleted them so I don't know if that's possible?

The mtdparts "still there" because you run the new u-boot with kwboot. If a NAND partition was erased then nothing is on it. Do you have the original bootlog that you can post here? And do you have the UART bootlog that you can post too?

Let's wait for a few days to see anybody will post their mtd0 dump.

I'll have to dig around a see if I can find the backup u-boot partition I have. I haven't done anything with my units for a while and can't recall the final state, but I did have debian installed on one of the units but every time I accessed a disk on the USB bus the kernel crashed!

Yes. It means that mtdparts structure is defined correctly by the new u-boot. But it does not mean there is any content in them.

kwboot, plug in a USB drive and dump these mtds at the prompt, they will show all nulls if you've erased them.

Of course, nothing happend because mtd0 was erased, so there is no u-boot image stored there.


The bottom line is you need to restore original mtd0, Or try to boot into Debian with the new u-boot which started by kwboot.

Perhaps you should just forget about stock and work on booting into Debian. I'll come back to show you how.

I guess my question is, how do I write the uboot to the nand?

Here's what I get when I follow a command i found on the internet, all f's:

B. How to restore NAND in Serial Console:
==================================


The ON-100 mtdsparts definition is different from the Pogo V4 in the example. So we'll need to adjust the instruction a little bit

Copy the u-boot image to the top folder of a EXT3 USB drive. Plug in and power up, interrupt serial console, and 

usb start
ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /uboot.2016.05-tld-2.18.on100_k9.mtd0.kwb
nand erase 0x0 0x80000
nand write.e 0x800000 0x0 0x80000

After this, do a reset to see the new u-boot starts and it means your box is unbricked. There is no need for the original mtd anymore.

I will try and figure out how to proceed with openWRT and also give Debian a try

If you'd like to start working with an ON100 again let me know if you want me to test anything :)

Cool!

To get rid of this error 

*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

Post your output of 

printenv

If they looks OK, then you can save it 

saveenv

After that, the envs are just like other Kirkwood u-boot I've released. Same location, and can be accessed/modified the same way.

There's the output, looks pretty basic to me coming from the original Cisco one

Not sure about the bootargs, would you be able to explain that to me?

EDIT: Further to the above, I've gone to try openWRT again and it's having issues writing:

itsanarse,

First, please always post the whole log (from u-boot banner), don't excerpt. I need to see the log verbatim to see the problem!

No, these envs are not from Ciso stock, they are from my built u-boot.

Looks like your NAND might have real problem. But it's hard to tell from the partial plog.

Yeah that's what I meant... After seeing the stock Cisco one it's quite a short list!

I excerpted because I messed my typing up prior, I will have another go tomorrow.


Thanks

itsanarse,

While you are at it, find out if OpenWrt kernel is FDT, and if it is, try to find the DTB file that they are using in booting this box (or the DTS source file). This will get you more flexibility (i.e. you can boot Debian with it).

Nevermind. I've just recalled LeggoMyEggo told me this box can be boot with kirkwood-guruplug-server-plus.dtb. It might not have everything supported, but he has successul booted and run this box with that DTB.

The current patch that OpenWrt uses to add dtb support for the Cisco ON100 to the Linux 4.14 kernel is located at ON100 DTB support patch
