Pogoplug Moble and uboot install
September 11, 2012 09:45AM
Hi there,

I just picked up a Pogoplug from w*lmart for a bargain, remembering it's very similar to my exisiting sheevaplug.
The only real difference seems to be a crippled bootloader...

I tried to use the "all in one" scipt, mentioned on:

http://dev.shyd.de/2011/01/seagate-dockstar-debian-squeeze/

but it says


# Validating existing uBoot...

...after that, the rest of the install (debian) seems to be working in - at least it downlaoads packages and puts them on /dev/sda1, whicht was formatted before.

The question is: does the stock bootloader on the Pogoplug mobile work out of the box?

If not, how do I update it? With which uboot version should I update it?

I searched in the forum and googled'round but didn't find any informations regarding the pogoplug mobile...

Thank you very much in advance!

Cheers,

Uli-G
