This is pretty much a reworking of everything so far... based loosely on the openrd setup, and the dns-325, as well as looking at the LaCie devices.

I still have to work on the stuff involving IDE/SATA, and redo the LED stuff so that it is acceptable for submitting to the mainline u-boot repo.

Ahhh, and I haven't tested booting from either SATA port...

I'll let you know ... when I get that far!

I've been breaking-in the box today to make sure that I don't have a lemon before opening it up and soldering in the serial cable.

u-boot seems to be building OK, and I'm researching the various configuration settings, and the additions in your earlier dockstar patch.

One thing that I did see is that the earlier patch wasn't setting CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION or CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.

That'll annoy the 3TB drive owners who have to use GPT partitions ;-)

Added -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss to u-boot-2011.12/arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/config.mk compiled u-boot for the Dockstar using CodeSourcery 2011.09: uboot builds but fails to load (using netconsole).

CodeSourcery 2009q3 appears to be the default choice.

Aw shucks ... I'd hoped that I'd stumbled across the magic bullet!

Thanks for testing it.

OK, it now boots from the USB, with SATA drives attached. I had to read the comments above my post in this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,5775,7406#msg-7406
... I had a feeling I was close to it, but as I just opened the box for my GoFlex Net 2 days ago or so, I had never read these threads...

So the uInitrd boots and then goes looking for the rootfs on (guess what! ... yup) the SATA drives.


I haven't tried booting from the SATA drive, but u-boot does recognize the SATA drive that is sitting on the left-most (from front) as well as the right hand drive port.[ NO!, correction, as with Jeff and Peaslakers/Carmichael u-boot, it only recognizes the drive on the right side, not the left side! I may look into fixing this, but it may be a peculiarity of the board. I wonder if it has something to do with the Bus0 and Bus1 being co-identified, although (IIUC) there is actually only one bus].

OK, good enough is good enough, for now. I tried everything I could to get Device 1(left side) port to be recognized, but to no avail. So, we seem to stay with booting only from the Device 0 (right side) port. Linux does still recognize both ports, once the GoFlexNet is booted.

I've got the config minimized and cleaned up.

No LED's yet - that's next, but I'll keep that to a bare minimum for mainline. The drop-in replacement will have all the bells&whistles that Jeff's&PeterCarmichael's had.

Once pogoplug E02 is mainline, I'll submit this as well.

You need this patch: https://github.com/peaslaker/u-boot-ubit/commit/cda480dbf9986f028f381dc6b3eada7dc0866421
Details: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,1893,3676#msg-3676

Thank you, that looks interesting.

I don't think I can put that as is in what I submit to mainline but I can try it out for the drop-in.

=============================

@ dpffann: thank you for posting that patch. I tried it and saw zero change in behavior. Not sure if I understand why, but there has been a lot of discussion since 2010 about changing the "IDE" stuff to something more modern and scalable.

Rogan Dawes had floated an RFC patch back then in an effort to fix an issue with a (new D-Link 323?) board, IIUC, but it isn't clear to me that it had ever been resolved. It attacked that very piece of ide.h. I tried his patch as well, but no luck. http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg36377.html
Wolfgang Denk seemed unsatisfied with some of the methods and symbols used in various patches.
(the mv_sata stuff works, but it seems to have hooks that are somewhat based on old-ish IDE stuff ... )

I'm not convinced yet, but I have considered it possible that the board for the GoFlexNet _inherently_ will only allow uboot to see a single port. I can get it to see port0 (right) or port1 (left), but not both on a single binary. If I delete

#define CONFIG_SYS_ATA_IDE0_OFFSET	MV_SATA_PORT0_OFFSET

from the SATA driver section below, it does then use Device 1 (left port).


Of course, once booted, Linux sees both ports.

What I _did_ do is to turn off the "phantom" or "ghost" 2nd (nonexistent) bus.

/*
 * SATA Driver configuration
 */
#undef CONFIG_SYS_IDE_MAXBUS
#define CONFIG_SYS_IDE_MAXBUS           1	
/*  hide phantom-nonexistent bus  */
#ifdef CONFIG_MVSATA_IDE
#define CONFIG_SYS_ATA_IDE0_OFFSET	MV_SATA_PORT0_OFFSET
#define CONFIG_SYS_ATA_IDE1_OFFSET	MV_SATA_PORT1_OFFSET
#endif /*CONFIG_MVSATA_IDE*/

Yields

Note the

Reset IDE: Bus 0: OK

instead of

Reset IDE: Bus 0: .OK Bus 1: OK

which at least makes sense since it only has one bus available.

I had wondered if there was away to put some logic/decision structure to have it activate either Device 0 (right port) or Device 1 (left port).

I think this is now done. At this point, anyone with the Pogo E01, PogE02, Dockstar and GoFlex Net should be able to use a stock Debian 3.2 (or higher) kernel.

As far as I can tell and as far as I've heard, the replacements for Pogo E01/E02 and Dockstar are fine and should be truely transparent drop-in replacements. Literally, no adjustments to anything in the env vars need to be made for these, TTBOMK. I've tested it several times on E01, E02 and the Dockstar, and the replacement process seems reliable, reproducible and no more risky than any other flashing procedure.

I believe that the replacement for GoFlex Net is also good to go. It is _nearly_ as straightforward as the cases above, with one tiny deviation. Its default env var values are the same as Jeff set them to be, save for one item. I've defined the preset default arcNumber for it to be 2678, instead of 2097. (in hexadecimal, that would be a setting of 0xa76, instead of 0x831). Anyone doing a bit of research can see that my choice uses Sheevaplug eSATA as the fallback default, instead of Sheevaplug. To me this made sense, since the Sheevaplug eSATA is much closer to the GoFlex Net/Home, rather than the Sheevaplug (USB only, IIRC).

The benefit of this is that now the default behavior would be to enable both USB and the SATA right-side port ( identified as IDE:Bus 0: Device 0 if you are watching the boot sequence from console/netconsole) as a default, with the stock kernel. All the standard methods and developed tricks/hacks/scripts/whatever should work as well as they ever did.

There is one minor internal difference. In the previous U-Boot there was a duplication of the IDE Bus: 0. It would show up as a duplication/phantom Bus 1. (IIRC, this was also the case in the old Marvell UBoot in the Buffalo LSPro/KuroPro series.) Now the Bus shows up only once (which makes sense, since there is only one bus available). This will not affect behavior otherwise.

=====================================================

• davy's Github Repo's rescue-dg

Hi Dave,

Thank you for all the hard works! is there any plan to automate the installation (similar to Jeff's install_uboot_mtd0.sh)?

bodhi

Hopefully it will all be purely drop in replacement, using Jeffs already-proven scripts. Still a tad of testing to do. :)

=====================================================

• davy's Github Repo's rescue-dg

Awesome :-)

davygravy, could you perhaps put together a post which explains what the problem is with the original Doozan uBoot and what had to be done to allow it to work with the 3.2+ kernels? From this forum I've been able to surmise that apparently the 3.2 kernels used a different compression scheme and that it is somehow incompatible with L2cache. (Well, maybe... tell me if I am wrong here...)

Is the solution simply to disable L2cache, and if so, under what circumstances is it disabled? (Only in the uBoot? Permanently by the uBoot?)

Were any other changes to the code made?

Is the new uBoot completely backwards-compatible with the new one? Can I slip it in now, even before I upgrade from squeeze to wheezy?

Also, at some point -- and I think you are planning to get to this eventually -- it would be good if you could consolidate the above description with a script and some instructions which describe how to install the new uBoot in layman's terms.

We all appreciate what you've done to keep the uBoot code working with the modern Debian loads, especially with the Pogo E02s, which doesn't seem to have a solid support base.

Thanks again!

Well, the short end of a long story is that u-boot for kirkwood had never been conscious of disabling the Level 2 Cache at boot time. On the other hand, Linux now assumes that to be the case. The reason things wouldn't get passed the decompressing stage is that the processor would hang, because u-boot never disabled the L2C... (... can't everyone please just let's get along with one another!!!...)

After booting the kernel, the L2C resumes normal behavior.

I'm running Debian w/ various kernels (2.6 and 3.x), and everything works for me.

I've been using the posted PogoE02 interim uboot for a few weeks now and it works the same as the original one. Just following the directions at top post will get you there. Several other users have done the same and have returned (the expected) good results. If you aren't switching to a 3.2 or higher kernel, you can just stay where you are for now.

Eventually it will be an automated update system, using the scripts/infrastructure that Jeff set up.

Your example use the dockstar file and I'm using the E02 file. Should the bytes transferred for the E02 also be hex 80000 or is what I'm getting (hex 3023e) correct?

Well, its a tar.gz file. Just untar it and then try.

I put that bit in the directions, so that if anyone missed the directions about untarring it, they'd still catch that bit on the length comparison.

Dear All,

I just made updates my Dockstar based on Debian Wheezy to the newest version, but fortunately I had a backup of my system. I was not aware of the incompatibility of the uboot with the new kernel. Doesn't matter, I went back to my backup.

My question, as I lost somehow the red-line in the thread, it must by possible to update the uboot before I tried to update to the newer kernel and without using the netconsole, just in the normal booted system?

My suggestion:
1. Download and upack uboot.mtd0.kwb-2011.12-L2Cdisabled-davysconfig
2. # Erase the first 512k of /dev/mtd0
flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
3 # Write the new bootloader
nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.mtd0.kwb-2011.12-L2Cdisabled-davysconfig

Am I right, please give my feedback.

Thanks for your hard work! Instruction are clear and I installed the new uboot without a hitch. I have been having ocassional problems upon rebooting where I would see in net console that it reached the point of starting kernel but after waiting I can't access the server through ssh and everything else looks like it's not working (I can't access web pages). Having no choice I pull out the plug and put it back in, but I'm not sure why it doesn'talways boot properly. this happned a few times. Also there is somekind if error everytime it boots, I'm not sure what it means.

@ Lewy1, everything up above looks normal to me. The only errors that I see in the messages are expected ones, triggered by the uboot not finding a recovery script token, for instance.

Btw, what is your usb_rootfstype? Ext2 or Ext3? Are you using a flash drive, or a USB<->SATA adapter w/ an actual HDD?

=====================================================

• davy's Github Repo's rescue-dg

I'm using a flash drive (cruzer), Ext2. Thanks for the response.

For some time now, I've wondered about the viability of adding an option to the uBoot to initialize and start the hardware watchdog timer before dispatching to the kernel. Then, in the kernel's boot sequence, it could reset or re-initialize the watchdog for its own purposes. One problem would be that the watchdog doesn't really provide much range time-wise. I think its timer can only be extended to give about a 20 second delay before the watchdog fires so it would have to be addressed early in the kernel's boot sequence, and addressing it via init.d would be out of the question. But such a scheme could theoretically be used to prevent this type of problem from leaving a remote system locked up in the event of a glitch.

Yes, but I'm in the middle of getting caught up on some "house" stuff... I'll try to have something ready by 4/20 - the weekend, or so.

Since it's Ext2, you might want to try running e2fsck for this stick on a different Linux box, just in case...

Booting from either SATA port (right or left) is now possible. Acks & thanks to Simon Baatz who brought this to us working on Kirkwood dual SATA units, as he, Gerald Kerma and Luka Perkov have been working hard a pair of other such devices (the ICY BOX NAS6210 and NAS6220) supported in mainline U-Boot.

@ major_tom007:

At your own risk...(sorry, we all gotta do that disclaimer thingy...) here is a tar.gz of the U-Boot that I just finished testing on my GoFlex Net... it will enable __both__ SATA ports for booting. Make sure you __untar__gunzip___ before flashing. Flashing directions for it are the same as on the Pogoplug V2, and the Dockstar.

I'd really appreciate testing w/ respect to LED behavior, and if the SATA booting from both sides works for you. (see the operand/command in the post just one up ^^^).
