LEDE on a dockstar device with now openwrt - Question

I try to install LEDE on my dockstar. The following commands are executed:

1. I download the most recent Lede software: download lede-17.01.2-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
2. I unzip these files (kernel + root) to my tftpserver
3. I made some new partitions and uboot commands:

setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),4M(uImage),-(rootfs)'
setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=squashfs ro'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts} ${bootargs_root}; nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000'
saveenv

4. I download the kernel from my tftp server and format the partition:

tftpboot 0x6400000 kernel
nand erase.part uImage
nand write.e 0x6400000 0x100000 ${filesize}

5. I download the root files from my tftp server and format the partition

tftp 0x6400000 root
nand erase.part rootfs
nand write.e 0x6400000 rootfs ${filesize}

6. I start the dockstar succesfully and change some passwords. This works well and without problems.

But there is one issue! Changing network parameters (from the luci gui) or the autostart of some modules doesn't work! I think the problem is that the rootfs_data partition is not availible when the device start up. The device use the rom settings and overwrite the /etc/config/network config. But the partition is after booting availible.

Is there anybody who can help me with this problem?

Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/17/2017 03:56PM by bodhi.

For now i using a dockstar as WIFI accespoint with openwrt version 15.05 with the installation steps on https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/seagate/dockstar with uboot version U-Boot 2016.05-tld-1 (Jun 12 2016 - 13:34:27 -0700)

This works great but i can't upgrade this to a new version (upgrade tab is not availible). For security and safety i want to upgrade this to a new LEDE version. How can i do that because the lede version has no zimage , ubs and dtb files (and maybe also another partitioning format).

Can anybody give me the exact steps to upgrade this to a new lede version? Currently i have serial access on this device.

Thanks for your help!

@Menno K
LEDE uses kernel and rootfs in UBI for kirkwoods now, so what you did won't work. (admittedly there is no documentation yet as the wiki is still under construction, and there is a re-merge underway, sorry for that)

The installation works by changing uboot settings (and also uboot because stock uboot can't boot from ubi, you seem to have bodhi's uboot, that's ok, it can boot LEDE too) booting a initramfs image and then doing a sysupgrade.

set the uboot like this (I've also double-checked your device's flash partitions from the dts patch in LEDE source here https://github.com/lede-project/source/tree/master/target/linux/kirkwood/patches-4.4 to make sure it was correct)

setenv mtdparts=mtdparts=orion_nand:0x0xe0000(uboot),0x100000(u-boot environment),0x0x200000(second stage u-boot),0x0xfe00000(ubi)
setenv bootargs_lede ''
setenv bootcmd 'run bootargs_lede; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000'
setenv console=console=ttyS0,115200
setenv ethaddr 00:00:00:00:00 (put your mac address instead of the example one)
setenv mtdids=nand0=orion_nand
saveenv

If you want multiboot setup you can make a bootcmd_lede instead of changing the bootcmd, and append the bootcmd_lede to the bootcmd so that if it does not find debian or arch it will boot LEDE

setenv bootcmd run bootcmd_something; run bootcmd_something_else; run bootcmd_lede;

Then you download and place the lede-kirkwood-dockstar-initramfs-uImage on a USB flash drive formatted with FAT32 and insert it in the device then fro uboot write

usb reset; fatload usb 0 0x800000 lede-kirkwood-dockstar-initramfs-uImage; bootm 0x800000

Also tftp works fine, but don't flash that image, only bootm.

That file is a LEDE system image that runs from RAM, and you will only use that to do a sysupgrade as normal with lede-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar. It will reformat flash if needed, deal with any bad blocks and so on.

@bodhi Could you move his post in that thread into this? It is not about the recovery. He is asking how to install current LEDE on his device.

Thanks for your help! I did the following things:

1. I upgrade the Uboot to most recent bodhi version
2. I set the new parameters to ( i change some things because the mtdparts string was in my opinion not correct):

setenv mtdparts mtdparts=orion_nand:0x0xe0000(uboot),0x100000(uboot_env),0x0x200000(second_stage_uboot),0x0xfe00000(ubi)
setenv bootargs_lede ''
setenv bootcmd 'run bootargs_lede; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000'
setenv console=console=ttyS0,115200
setenv ethaddr 00:00:00:00:00
setenv mtdids=nand0=orion_nand
saveenv

3. I run the following code for starting the proces:

usb reset; fatload usb 0 0x800000 lede-kirkwood-dockstar-initramfs-uImage; bootm 0x800000

4. I logging to the ssh dockstar session and i put the following commands to the commandline:

cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.2/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.2-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
sysupgrade lede-17.01.2-kirkwood-dockstar-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

The dockstar restart and i get the following message from the serial connection:

After +-10 seconds the dockstar restart again and again. What do i wrong?

Fixed!!

I forget to run (to save the new param):

setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts}
saveenv

Extra information, the variable line of the mtd is not correct. The correct string is:

setenv mtdparts mtdparts=orion_nand:0xe0000@0x0(uboot),0x20000@0xe0000(uboot_env),0x100000@0x100000(second_stage_uboot),-@0x200000(ubi)

Also when you add the new partition layout you need to erase the ubi nand first before new install:

nand erase.part ubi

Thanks for your help it works perfect now. And i hope that this information can be used for the dockstar manual :)

@bobafetthotmail
Do you have some hints for putting Lede on a POGO E02 nand containing bodhis latest uboot + envs?
specially for the part "mtdparts" in the uboot envs.
The procedure should be nearly the same like dockstar but in my case the log tells me from broken pipes...

what have i done, whats working and whats not:
* updated uboot to the latest uboot.2017.07-tld-1.pogo_e02.mtd0.kwb + uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img
* pogo can boot from a stick debian or lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage
Lede boots with your "usb reset; fatload usb 0 0x800000 lede-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage; bootm 0x800000" from bootloader
* not working is the sysupgrade for flashing Lede into nand.


Update: now it works
i got it.....
If i would read more carefully i wouldnt spend hours....
that was the trick (missing):

setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts}

# in my case:
setenv bootargs_lede setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts

Now i have my Pogo E02 running with latest LEDE17.01.04 - perfect!
maybe i do a install step by step manual if anyone is interested.

the correct envs for Pogo E02:

# bootenvs for Pogo E02 based on uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment:

setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000@0x0(u-boot),-@0x100000(ubi)' 
setenv partition 'nand0,0' 
setenv set_bootargs_lede 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 $mtdparts'
setenv bootcmd_lede 'run set_bootargs_lede; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; run bootcmd_lede'
setenv bootcmd_exec 'if run load_uimage; then; if run load_initrd; then if run load_dtb; then bootm $load_uimage_addr $load_initrd_addr $load_dtb_addr; else bootm $load_uimage_addr $load_initrd_addr; fi; else if run load_dtb; then bootm $load_uimage_addr - $load_dtb_addr; else bootm $load_uimage_addr; fi; fi; fi'
saveenv
nand erase.part ubi

# when you change/add a new partition layout you always need to erase the ubi nand first before new install:
nand erase.part ubi

the install log after booting the initramfs from USB :

Hi,

is it possible to start the LEDE rescue system (for installing or upgrading LEDE) from USB instead of TFTP when using Bodhi's current uboot?
I have working netconsole, but no installed TFTP server.

thanks,
Dieter

I set these variables (ethaddr already set) on my dockstar:

setenv mtdids=nand0=orion_nand
setenv console 'console=ttyS0,115200'
setenv mtdparts mtdparts=orion_nand:0x0xe0000(uboot),0x100000(uboot_env),0x0x200000(second_stage_uboot),0x0xfe00000(ubi)
setenv bootargs_lede ''
setenv bootcmd 'run bootargs_lede; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000'
setenv bootargs ${console} ${mtdparts}
saveenv

and then:

DockStar> nand erase.part ubi
nand erase.part ubi

NAND erase.part: partition size too small (0)
DockStar>

With the revised mtdparts definition it worked:

DockStar> setenv mtdparts mtdparts=orion_nand:0xe0000@0x0(uboot),0x20000@0xe0000(uboot_env),0x100000@0x100000(second_stage_uboot),-@0x200000(ubi)
setenv mtdparts mtdparts=orion_nand:0xe0000@0x0(uboot),0x20000@0xe0000(uboot_env),0x100000@0x100000(second_stage_uboot),-@0x200000(ubi)
DockStar> nand erase.part ubi
nand erase.part ubi

NAND erase.part: device 0 offset 0x200000, size 0xfe00000
Skipping bad block at  0x03200000
Erasing at 0xffe0000 -- 100% complete.
OK

...but the sysupgrade wont work:

Are there more steps needed for a first time installation? I use bodhis lates uboot.

I also have bodhi's latest uboot on my dockstar and was able to boot the uImage from a usb flash drive. The sysupgrade said it was successful, but would not boot from nand until I changed this:

setenv bootargs_lede setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts
saveenv

I believe this is because bootargs was set differently by set_bootargs and bootcmd for a multiboot setup:

printenv set_bootargs
set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params
printenv bootcmd
bootcmd=run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; run bootcmd_lede
printenv bootcmd_lede
bootcmd_lede=run bootargs_lede; ubi part ubi; ubi read 0x800000 kernel; bootm 0x800000

dexter is correct. The bootargs need to be reset in the bootcmd_lede.

setenv bootargs_lede setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts

try over luci a normal sysupgrade like on a router and you will be happy

Has anyone tried to install OpenWrt 18.06.2?

At least it starts, I took the instructions for LEDE 17 -

modified the u-boot params
boot from USB flash drive using the uImage,
then sysupgrade:ed to 18.06.4

worked like a charm.
