Hi bodhi!
I did all what you instructed. my ls -larth /mnt/boot output is:
and my boot is:
and this output without seting environment:
And can you please give me direction how I can compile 1st stage, 2nd stage and all uboot things myself. I see so many devices have very good uboot updates, but poor iomega HMNHDCE is a red headed cousin nobody wants to play with ;)) but I think iomega HMNHDCE is better than pogoplug (more ram, housing for 3.5 hdd, now nand under the hood (16Gb maby), and I've installed fan (fan speed control coming soon), wi-fi and bluetooth can be on usb, and more)
I found the way how to compile u-boot.env from *.txt. Could you please give example for simple environment settings to boot to sata/usb. From there I'll go for unbriking nand tutorial.
thank you!

I don't have any written instruction for this.
Your file system seems to shows problem.
On disk it is 3.6M
While it is loading it is 3.5M
===
What I would suggest is:
- Create 2 partitions on you HDD.
- Format both as Ext3.
- Going through the same procedure for boot with SPL and u-boot on HDD using sda1.
- As root user, extract Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the release thread to sda2.
And then adjust the boot envs as followed:
And then try booting with it. Once it can boot into the rootfs Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2, we can further refine the envs to make it more robust.

Hi bodhi!
here is the result:
I also have one more question. I accidentally disconnected anothe hdd while dd zeroing was in process. Now gpt partition table is not recognized by iomega and no boot, although my linux PC have no problems recognizing evrything. How to unbrick hdd? I remade gpt label many times, no luck. Ironically oldzeus's uboot works fine on this hdd.
Thank you!

sobir,
Try booting with whatever DTB olderzeus used for this box.
https://github.com/olderzeus/Iomega-HMNHDCE
The Pogo Pro DTB might not be the correct one. So replace it with one you can find from olderzeus's GitHub.

Hi bodhi!
I found this

I found this
so conclusion is pogoplug pro has oxnas7821 cpu and iomega HMNHDCE, pogoplug v3 and ZyXEL NSA-212 / MitraStra STG-212 are oxnas7820 cpu. I have to try pogoplug-classicQuote
Openwrt
no PCIe on OX820/NAS7820, 1x PCIe on OX821/NAS7821, 2x PCIe on NAS7825

Hi bodhi!
I tried with ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb no luck, same thing. I'll try with oldzeus's dtb which, I suspect, is file named u-boot.md.wrapped? If no luck there then I will contact openwrt and willing to donate them my board so they can compile all u-boot needed.
By the way I always have checksum verification failing with
But if I skip addressation and just use this
Anyway thank you bodhi for your support and help.
If you can give me hint how to and who to contact in openwrt so I could ship my device to.
Thank you again!

I think different memory chip configuration and different gpio connection on processor makes u-boot addressation confused. What makes me think that I definitely need spl from openwrt guys specific to iomega HMNHDCE board.
Anyway thank you bodhi for your support and help.

I don't have any OpenWrt contact. I guess you can try their website.

Hi bohdi, I resume this old but very interesting discussion you had with mari8b about the Iomega Home Media device.
I flashed the olderzeus u-boot and kernel into the first 32MB of HDD and it works well but unfortunately it's a very old kernel (2.6) with an old squeeze debian.
I'd like to use a newer kernel with a more updated rootfs but as you realized, newer kernels seems to not be flashable in such a little space.
My question - as a beginner with u-boot related matters - is: could it be a possibility to chainload your newer u-boot (installed in a /dev/sda1 partition) from olderzeus's 1.1.2 u-boot? If possible maybe I can boot from there with your latest oxnas kernel and rootfs.
I also tried to compile myself a bit newer kernel version to boot with olderzeus's u-boot (taken from here https://github.com/kref/linux-oxnas) but serial console stucks at "Starting kernel..." without going further...
Thank you for your help

Not likely to work. That u-boot is too old. Chainload is tricky and won't work going from old version of u-boot to new version (the software architecture is too different).

You could try booting my kernel and rootfs Debian-4.14.180-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from old u-boot like olderzeus's.
The version 1.1.2 sounds like stock u-boot. So you will need to append the DTB to uImage. The problem is we don't have a DTB for Iomega Home Media, so you would have to use the Pogo Classic V3 DTB to see if it will work.
Post back if you're not sure about this step.

Thank you bodhi
yes, I'd like to try this way. Even olderzeus suggests to use your kernel and rootfs in this issue from his github repo: https://github.com/olderzeus/Iomega-HMNHDCE/issues/3
Anyway I'm not understanding a thing: why in your opinion does he suggests to create an uImage in /media/sdb1/boot if stock u-boot continues to load uImage from an HDD area placed in his first 32MB?
As mari8b correctly said, Iomega looks at first HDD's 32MB in this way:
I'm afraid that stock u-boot will be booting again he uImage in sector 1290, ignoring your updated kernel first HDD partition (but I could be wrong). Is there a way to configure stock u-boot to look for first HDD partition instead of sector 1290 for uImage kernel?
Another possibility could be to flash you uImage in sector 1290, but it's too big (we have about 2MB of free space there) and it will surely overwrite initrd location and many other... or maybe that should not be a problem?
Sorry about being so newbie, I'm trying to study u-boot behavior as much as I can :)
Thank you for your help.

Meanwhile, I've tried to flash a newer kernel taken from here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044
Because of this warning, I tried this version: linux-3.18.5-oxnas-tld-1.bodhi
But while booting I receive this error:
Looking for some info I think that the problem is with uboot env variable: load1=ide read 0x60500000 50a 1644
Is 1644 referred to kernel size to load in memory? I've tried bigger values but with no luck.
My u-boot printenv is:

Miclaud,
Let me recap what I understood about this box from scanning mai8b, sobir, and your posts again.
1. This box has no NAND flash. This is the reason everything is on the HDD. olderzeus has the files in the HDD 32M layout that boot the old kernel perfectly fine.
2. The SATA booting approach is identical to the Pogo V3 OXNAS. This SoC BootROM always look for u-boot image on the SATA drive if one is attched. Even on the Pogoplug, with u-boot in NAND, the BootROM will find u-boot in the HDD drive first, if not found then find it in NAND.
3. My Pogoplug OXNAS u-boot (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017) does not work for this box, since it was not built for SATA boot, only for NAND. So stock u-boot and SPL must be used and stored in the HDD. This stock u-boot has a 4GB limitation for uImage.
4. The latest kernel uImage and uInitrd are too big for stock u-boot because of 4GB limitation.
5. Now here is how this dilemma can be resolved. Possible alternatives are:
a. Build a new scaled down kernel using my latest release (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044). The kernel config needs to be trimmed down until it will produce a uImage that is smaller than 4GB. The uInitrd can also be trimmed down at the same time with the new kernel config.
b. Rebuild my u-boot version to support SATA booting. Clone my GitHub and build it as is. And after it is successful, turn on SATA.
c. Look at what shv has done. I think there were some really good info. Unfortunately I Iost the link (I want to include it in the Wiki thread). I will PM shv.
PS.

Thank you very much for recap and suggestions. I'll try all the alternatives.
For now, I'm trying to use your Linux-3.18.5-oxnas-tld-1 kernel because it should already be of the right size. Unfortunately it stucks too at "Bad CRC" error. I tried attaching both pogoplug-pro and pogoplug-classic but with no luck...
Do you have any idea of why do I get this "Bad CRC" error? Meanwhile, I'd make a try with a newer u-boot, thanks!

Hi bodhi,
meanwhile, I got so close!
I succeded in installing a newer u-boot (2013.10) by compiling this one: https://github.com/kref/u-boot-oxnas/tree/oxnas following these compilation instructions: https://github.com/kref/u-boot-oxnas/wiki/uboot-for-sata
(I tried with your repo's u-boot but I have to solve some compilation problems before trying again with that)
So I made these steps:
1 - compiling kref's u-boot.img and SPL
2 - flashed SPL at sector 34 (as olderzeus used to do)
3 - created a FAT partition at /dev/sda1 and copied the u-boot.img there
4 - copied an u-boot.env file from shv files. I haven't find the right way to generate one from scratch from myself because (I tried with mkenvimage command) because I always get CRC error.
Shv's one is correctly loaded but of course I need to stop the serial console at countdown to customize the env
5 - created an ext3 partition with your Debian-4.14.180 rootfs (including kernel as is in /boot folder)
The whole process seems to be almost ok, but I got an "uncompression error" with your uImage.
Printenv:
Serial boot log (with customized commands in bold):
I also made another try with a oxnas820 kernel ( Linux-3.11.1+) I got from kref's github, compiled by myself, but it stucks at "Starting Kernel" in the same way it did with stock u-boot

Ok bodhi, I've tried once again to compile u-boot from your repo and I succeded in creating u-boot.img file!
I had to give the following command before launching make:
Anyway, I still have problems while compiling SPL:
As you can see here it seems to boot regularly but it apparently stucks at "booting the kernel"
Maybe the kernel is booting but for some misconfiguration it doesn't print on serial console? I've configured my network interfaces for a specific ip but I cannot ping it.
My printenv here. At the moment I don't use any u-boot.env or uEnv.txt file, so I'm fallbacking to default env:

Anyway, I still have problems while compiling SPL:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `checkarmreloc', needed by `all'. Stop. make: *** [spl/u-boot-spl] Error 2But I can still use kref's SPL for stage1 and then boot with your u-boot, so I think it's not a problem for now.

Miclaud,
The envs image from the HDD is not good (or non existent).
The default envs are set up to boot the USB rootfs.
Is that what you wanted to do? or are you trying to boot HDD rootfs? what is on the USB drive?
I guess you need to post info about this HDD. What files/partitions are in it?
The bottom line is you need to post more info when you encounter a problem.

Sorry bodhi, maybe I've made some mess by doing some experiments.
My first aim was to boot entirely from HDD, so I have a disk partitioned in this way:
/dev/sda1 : FAT partition (labelled "BOOT") with only u-boot.bin
/dev/sda2 : ext3 partitions (labelled "rootfs") with your Debian-4.4.54 rootfs (including kernel)
I flashed on my HDD the kref's SPL. This spl looks for the first partition in HDD and expects it to be a FAT partition. SPL loads u-boot.bin (your 2015.10 github u-boot compiled by myself)
Because I still don't know how to create an env file for your u-boot I decided to stick with your default env, so I also created a single ext3 partition on a usb drive, with Debian-4.4.54 rootfs too, trying to boot the rootfs+kernel saved there.
It seems to work because kernel, initrd and dtb are loaded, but the problem is the "booting the kernel" problem showed in my previous post.
Thank you!

Miclaud,
That was the right approach! we want it to boot to a Debian rootfs on USB first, and worry about where that rootfs can be later.
I've trimmed the envs down to a rellevant sequence so I can see it easier.
There are few adjustments needed.
Power up, interrupt serial console and
Let's see how far you will get with Pogoplug Classic DTB.
Please post the entire serial console log here.

Hi bodhi,
I used the "boot" command after the two instructions you gave me, was it ok?
So, here's my console print:
The strange thing is that sometimes it crashes during kernel loading (some other times during ramdisk loading), with "Bad CRC" error. It seems absolutely random behaviour, like this:

The strange thing is that sometimes it crashes during kernel loading (some other times during ramdisk loading), with "Bad CRC" error. It seems absolutely random behaviour, like this:

Miclaud,
Since you have both HDD and USB with the rootfs and /boot folders, it is hard to see which kernel is being used. So adjust some envs to log the activities.
Power up, interrupt serial console and

Hi bodhi,
I had to make 3 tries because first time kernel loading gave me "Bad Data CRC", next was initrd time. The third was the good one.
I think it should not depend on any possible usb drive problem because I even tried to use a different usb drive receiving the same (apparently) random crashes.
Anyway, here's the console:

Strange that the kernel did not even start (earlyprintk did not print out anything).
Try:
Temporarily take out the uInird loading

Can anyone do a step by step write up on how to update our old iomega HMNHDCE with a newer u-boot and debian buster? I've been reading the discussion here and it seems all I need to do is follow the instructions for Pogoplug V3? I've updated my Pogoplug V4, Dockstar, Goflex home and Goflex Net to newest u-Boot and Debian Buster... but the discussion here seems to indicate I would need to recompile for ox720?

Hi, if we eventually succeed to boot mine I'd be pleased to open a thread with a walkthrough.
Sobir was able to install buster by debootstrapping, starting from olderzeus's setup, which for now is the only one 100% working (this one).
Unfortunately, olderzeus's setup is based on a 2.6 kernel older than 2.6.32, which is required by udev from Squeeze and forth. I don't know how did he manage to solve this problem, we can ask him but if we find a way to boot this Iomega device with a newer kernel we'll solve a moltitude of issues ;)

Miclaud,
That's certainly discouraging! it behaves like the the kernel hang before it has a chance to printout anything.
Because this lack of debug output, the only way to test is to try various modes of booting, and then try a different kernel.
So, try booting with uImage only:
If the behavior is the same hang with the above, try using a newer uImage such as one in linux-5.4.101-oxnas-tld-1.bodhi.tar.bz2.
To test boot with uImage only, you don't really need to install the new kernel. Use zImage to create uImage with the DTB embedded inside.
Mount the USB rootfs on another Linux box and assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1
And then repeat the test above.
