Need help with creating USB for the new uBoot

Need help with creating USB for the new uBoot
April 05, 2020 10:21AM
It has been many years ago that I installed debian on a dockstar using Jeff's instruction. I am familiar much with the unix command and only followed several step-by-step instruction to get things to work.

I have an old Pogo-B01 that I never used and want to put a new system into it. I have followed the steps to install new U-Boot but I did not do anything in step 11 because I did not understand how to do it. So I rebooted the box.

Quote

11. Required setup for default envs

This default envs image supports booting with multiple disk drives (and hubs) attached. The disk drives could be type (usb or sata). The scanning logic and default envs were set to automatically boot the box with the following required configuration:

r1. There must be only one partition among all partitions from all drives that contains the kernel files. The 2 kernel files are /boot/uImage and /boot/uInitrd.
r2. The partition that contains the 2 kernel files must be partition 1 in a disk drive
r3. The partition that contains the rootfs must be labeled rootfs
r4. The rootfs partition is recommended to be type Ext3 (this is not a hard requirement, ext4 should boot OK, but Ext3 will ensure no problem).

Now I am stuck as I don't have a working usb to boot it and it keeps rebooting itself. And if I stop autoboot, I would get the OX820> prompt.

Can someone please guide me to the right place what I should do next or how do I create a USB stick for it?

I am accessing the box using a serial cable.

jeyrey,

Create USB rootfs using Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the release thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044

Updated 02 Aug 2017:

Rootfs Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 was uploaded.

Basic Debian stretch Oxnas rootfs for Popo Pro/Classic V3 plug:

- tarball size: 180M
- install size: 477M
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, dialog, bz2, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, sysvinit-utils, mtd-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/rc0.d/K08halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root

Download at Dropbox:

Debian-4.4.54-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

Follow the instruction very closely. And then try booting with this new USB rootfs.

Note: with the new u-boot you have installed, you should be able to boot right away (no need to change more envs).

Thank you so much, bodhi. I have followed the instruction and am now trying to boot from the stick for the first time. It is stuck at

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

for at least 15 minutes now, and still waiting. If this is not supposed to happen, please let me know so I can start over. Thanks.

I tried to redo using ext3 instead of ext4 but still have the same problem.

One thing is that my box is POGO-B01 which is classic with no WIFI. Why is it loading the pro dtb? I have tried to change it in step 4 to classic already.

jeyrey,

Power up, interrupt serial console and

setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb'
printenv
boot
And post the entire serial console log here.

I am getting it booting. And this is what I get. Is there anything I should fix?

jeyrey,

That looks good! but what happened before this?

Starting kernel ...

You should post the entire serial console log as I asked above:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,99104,99179#msg-99179

So that I can see the booting activitities, and might point out something you have missed.

After restarting the box, it kept going back to the /boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb version and I had to stop autoboot and setenv again. Where can I make it permanent?

It is OK :) As usual, the consversation here is not just for you and me :) It is also for users who come later and searching for the solution. So that's why I asked to post everything. From the u-boot banner, at u-boot prompt and how you execute the commands to boot successfully.

Here is how to make it permanent, since you have booted successfully.

Power up, interrupt serial console and

setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb'
printenv
saveenv
boot

And this time please post the entire serial console log here. Meaning from u-boot banner until the Debian prompt. So we can record everything in your post, it will be very useful for future reference.

The log starts from:

As you may notice, I am trying to setup a wifi dongle. It is rtl8188eus from Realtek. I used this one on my dockstar (debian wheezy) but still could not find the driver for the stretch yet. I don't remember exactly how I did it since it was a decade ago. If you have any advice or if it is possible to just copy from the dockstar over, please let me know. Here is the message I got after plugging it in.

I don't recall which wifi drivers we have on this OXNAS kernel. I'll have to look inside the box or when I have a chance to look in the kernel source tree.

It does not hurt to try, Debian wheezy is relatively new, it might work.

I spent yesterday but was unable to get the wifi working yet as I don't remember how I did it years ago. But now I have another POGO-E02 box that I updated the uboot (U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1 (Jul 18 2014 - 00:29:52)) years ago but it won't boot. So I put it in the closet. I don't have the USB stick I put debian in years ago so I am using the one above that I prepared for the POGO-B01 instead. This is what happen when we boot:

So I want to update the new uboot 2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood on this one. I am stuck from step one.

Quote
1. uBoot envs config should be defined as followed in your /etc/fw_env.config

cat /etc/fw_env.config
# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

- And your mtd partitions should be:

cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 02000000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd3: 0db00000 00020000 "data"

Note: for boxes such as Pogo V4 and Zyxel NSA3xx, the mtd partition definition are kept the same as stock definition, therefore is different from the one above.

If you don't have /etc/fw_env.config file in your system then go ahead and create this file with the above content. MTD parts are not important for booting and it can be adjusted later. For users who like to keep the stock mtd definition, there is no need to adjust it to the above definition. As long as mtd0 is defined as 1MB (0x00100000) or greater then it will be OK:
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"


I don't have the /proc/mtd. Could you please guide me to the right place for flashing?
Re: Need help with creating USB for the new uBoot
April 06, 2020 06:46PM
jeyrey,

This box is different. The rootfs is Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096
Quote

Latest released rootfs: Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (25 Aug 2019)

It is OK to use U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1. Get it boot into Debian and then flash new u-boot 2017.07-tld-1.

You should use a different USB to create the new rootfs. And use Ext3 partition.

Thank you bodhi for the prompt response. Anywhere I can an image of a working kernel for a usb stick that I can use to boot into Debian? I don't have a working USB stick for this box right now.
Re: Need help with creating USB for the new uBoot

Hi bodhi, I have created a stick and cold boot the box. This is what I am getting. It is stuck.

setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo-e02.dtb'

but that did not help.

Ah, it was because back then, U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1 was still not set up to boot with the separated DTB.


So when you create USB rootfs now, you need to do Step 4b:

Quote

4b. Boot with DTB file embedded in the kernel image (no U-Boot envs changes are needed if your system already booting on USB or HDD). Again, this step 4b is for stock U-Boot only.

Please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box.

Generate the uImage and uInitrd (the kernel files vmlinuz-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 and initrd.img-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 were generated by dpkg in Step 3):
cd /boot
mv uImage uImage.orig
mv uInitrd uInitrd.orig
cp -a zImage-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd

After it booted into Debian, you can install new u-boot, and then reverse Step 4b to boot with separate DTB.

Hi bodhi,

Still no go. It's stuck. Not sure what I did wrong. I followed the first 3 steps earlier and then switched to 4b as you suggested except that I changed 5.5.1 to 5.2.9 everywhere in the script. It does not look any different from before.

jeyrey,

Power up, interrupt u-boot at count down, and,

setenv set_bootargs_usb 'setenv bootargs console=$console root=$usb_root rootdelay=$rootdelay rootfstype=$rootfstype $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial'
boot

And post the entire serial console log here (in both cases, whether it boots successfully or not).

Re: Need help with creating USB for the new uBoot
April 07, 2020 10:46AM
OK bodhi, when I flashed the uboot years ago, I also had created a usb stick to go with it but I never booted successfully as I didn't have a serial cable at the time. Luckily I never deleted it. After stuck with the new rootfs above, I have tried the old USB stick and new I am in debian. Here is its version:
root@debian:~# uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-kirkwood #1 Tue May 13 17:59:08 UTC 2014 armv5tel GNU/Linux

So I tried to follow the steps to flash the 2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood. I am now at step 4
Quote
4. Be sure there is no bad block in the first 1M of your NAND (check dmesg). This is very important, if there is bad block in the first 1M (8 blocks), don't flash u-boot, because you will almost certainly brick your box. Please post your question here (there is a work around for it).

Example of bad block in mtd0:
dmesg | grep -i 'bad'

[ 2.413231] Scanning device for bad blocks
[ 2.417731] Bad eraseblock 3 at 0x000000060000

This bad block is the 4th block which resides within mtd0 (block 0 to block 7). So u-boot should not be flashed.

This is what mine gave:
root@debian:~# dmesg | grep -i 'bad'
[   22.284760] Scanning device for bad blocks
[   22.289172] Bad eraseblock 7 at 0x0000000e0000
It said that I should not flash the uboot. What should I do with it now?

Cool! that will be adequate for installation of new u-boot and rootfs. The previous error was easy to fix, but it is OBE now.

You can flash u-boot image and u-boot env image. The bad block 7 is OK (It is reserved for future growth).

Re: Need help with creating USB for the new uBoot
April 07, 2020 11:55PM
Thanks bodhi. I have gone ahead and flashed the new uboot successfully! And here are what I did and encountered after that:

1. I was unable to reboot with the current usb stick (Linux debian 2.6.32-5-kirkwood). So I unpluged from the box and put it in my desktop to edit. Surprisingly, the stick was not recognized and I could not access it. This happened before and that was why I was unable to formatted for a few years. Somehow yesterday, I put it in the PC, it was detected and that was when I tried in again on the box and was able to boot and get into debian. So I think the USB stick is bad and am about to throw it away.

2. I then used the previous stick that I put Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi inside but was unable to boot earlier. Now it booted successfully. Yess!

3. The Debian-5.2.9 also detected my wireless adapter
[   27.480958] r8188eu 1-1.3:1.0 wlxxxxxxxxxxxxx: renamed from wlan0
but it renamed from wlan0 using the mac address. So it was not up by my current /etc/network/interfaces since it expected wlan0. So I am trying to prevent it from renaming by searching on the web and found that one way is to install grub. I was unable to install it:
root@debian:~# apt-get install grub
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package grub is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  grub2-common

E: Package 'grub' has no installation candidate
I am sure there are many other (simple) ways to disable name changing but I don't know. Can you advise on this which is the best method to get wlan0 back from name changing?

Also, is it possible to setup console via ip address and without a serial cable? If so, could you guide me to the right place? Many thanks.

That's how you suppose to do it. The new rootfs is ready made to boot with new u-boot.

For ARM box such as this box, Grub does not apply. U-boot is the boot loader. You should be able to use the old naming convention. Let's see if I can find it.

Usually systemd will rename the network device names, but it does not apply here if you did not activate systemd.

Yes, that's netconsole. As stated in Step 10.

Quote

10. Set up netconsole. It's important to set up neconsole if you don't already have serial console connected. If you have serial console, don't set up netconsole at this moment, because it will interfere with serial console.

If you've flashed the default environments in step 8 then activate netconsole with the following envs:

Adjust 192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.0.yyy below to the real numbers in your network configuration. 192.168.0.xxx is this plug IP address, and 192.168.0.yyy is the IP address of the netconsole server where it will monitor the output from the this plug (adjust them to the real values in your own local network settings).

fw_setenv preboot_nc 'setenv nc_ready 0; for pingstat in 1 2 3 4 5; do; sleep 1; if run if_netconsole; then setenv nc_ready 1; fi; done; if test $nc_ready -eq 1; then run start_netconsole; fi'
fw_setenv preboot 'run preboot_nc'
fw_setenv ipaddr '192.168.0.xxx'
fw_setenv serverip '192.168.0.yyy'

If you have serial console and does not disconnect it, the output will go to netconsole and serial console, back and forth depending on where u-boot progress is (so you need 2 consoles to see all logging). So when testing netconsole, you should disconnect serial console and vice versa, to see the unified log.

I set this up on the pogoplug but I don't see anything on my computer. Which port should I use on the computer? This is what I am using
nc -l -u 9999 | tee ~/netconsole.log

That's the wrong command. Use:

nc -lup 6666 ip_addr 6666
where ip_addr is the IP address of the this box. In u-boot it is the env ipaddr. In Debian, it is the static IP in /etc/network/interfaces.

For example,

fw_printenv ipaddr
ipaddr=192.168.0.220

cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.220
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1

Thanks, bodhi. After this command I can see the netconsole. Is this supposed to happen that the netconsole is gone after Starting kernel...?
