OpenWrt (Lede) on Pogo E02 HowTo

How to install LEDE/openwrt on a Pogo E02:
You can do this similar with all the kirkwoodplugs using the matching files...

Note: If you dont have serial console (USB/serial adapter), NC (NetCat) should be configured properly!

1. Upgrade the Uboot + uboot-envs to most recent bodhi version
(atm = uboot.2017.07-tld-1.pogo_e02.bodhi + uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment)

download, (rename) and place the lede-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage on the root of a USB flash drive
formatted with FAT32 and insert it in the device

https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage

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-pogo_e02-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar.
It will reformat flash if needed, deal with any bad blocks and so on.
Put this stick into Pogo
then from uboot write set the new parameters

2. Set additional parameters for dualboot LEDE/nand and debian/stick (based on bodhis uboot.2016.05-tld-1 envs)
with this envs extensions you can upgrade nand only with WIF, but soft reboot works (didnt work with old one)
and you have to change the envs only once with the following:

# 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

3. Run the following code for starting the process:

# @bootloader run LEDE from usb pendrive
usb reset; fatload usb 0 0x800000 lede-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage; bootm 0x800000

Here you have the choice how to upgrade: 4a CLI or 4b over LEDE/openwrt-WIF - use this!!

4a. CLI upgrade: (wont work anymore, you will run out of space with newer Lede or openwrt - use 4b)

opkg update
opkg install libustream-openssl ubi-utils
cd /tmp
wget https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-pogo_e02-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
sysupgrade lede*kirkwood-pogo_e02-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

or:

4b. LEDE/openwrt-WIF upgrade:

log in a Webbrowser session @pogos ipadress
download the upgrade-File on your PC.
Link:
lede-17.01.04-kirkwood-pogo_e02-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

in the LEDE menue search for Upgrade device/router and select your downloaded file
press upgrade and wait

Pogo will reboot and start from nand with LEDE/openwrt

5. change/create the /etc/fw_env.config in LEDE/openwrt to:

/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

Than you can install all the pakets you need... :)

opkg update
opkg install ca-bundle ca-certificates libustream-openssl ubi-utils nano bzip2 openssh-sftp-server    # for example

I checked LEDE kirkwood list od supported devices and sadly HP t5325 isn't listed.
Any ideas if it can be installed on t5325?

Hi,

I've tried this method and I'm able to run lede from memory. However when I run sysupgrade something goes wrong and lede does not get installed to nand. The reboot after sysupgrade results in the uboot prompt. Maybe this was due to the fat32 usb stick still being plugged in so I repeated the steps but removed the usb stick before the sysupgrade command. Unfortunately the result is the same uboot prompt and lede has not been installed to nand. When I plug in the debian usb stick and restart the device it starts debian without problems. Could someone more knowledgeable have a look at my config and see if they can spot what causes the problem?

Thanks

konus,

Looks like your envs were messed up.

Update: never mind. The envs look OK as I can tell. You will need to post a log of the reboot so we can see it better.

It's good to hear the envs look OK. I've started again from the beginning (but skipping the initial envs setup) and put the output of the steps below.

remove the fat32 usb stick results in the following message over serial:

The sysupgrade output will be put in a new message to make things easier to read.

So I think everything looks OK until now. Below is the rest of the output from the sysupgrade process.

from ssh session run sysupgrade using the -v option to try to get more verbose output:

So there clearly are some errors during the sysupgrade process but it finishes with the message 'sysupgrade successful' so maybe it is OK? The uboot message shows an empty mtd device so I guess the write to nand has failed or uboot can't find the partition.

output from mtdparts:

konus,

Everything looks OK. Try to find the box IP and log in with SSH.


If it did not start and you cannot find the IP. Try installation again, and use -n option when running sysupgrade:

sysupgrade -n lede*kirkwood-pogo_e02-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

The output should looks like

Image metadata not found
Connection to 192.168.1.117 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.1.117 closed.

===========================
Forum Wiki
bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

Hi Bodhi,

thanks for your time. I've tried all sysupgrade -n, -i, and -p options but none seem to make it work. One thing I noticed is that my printenv shows

arcNumber=2097

while joerg_999's printenv from another thread shows

arcNumber=3542

Could that be the issue?

OK that seems to have done the trick

setenv arcNumber 3542
saveenv
reset

Then follow all the steps in joerg_999's original description at the top of the page.

This results in a lede install in nand. It still boots debian when I reboot while the correct usb stick is plugged in.

Thanks a lot for your time. These little boxes are great low power backup machines for different family members. I install the sshelper app on android and then use a cron rsync script to backup phones and tablets to an usb drive without the need to use any of the big cloud providers. They also run openvpn providing a safe connection when using public wifi.

That's odd.

The Pogo E02 arcNumber is 3542. But it should work with arcNumber 2097 which is the Reference Board which work with Sheevaplug, Dockstar, Pogoplug E02, GFHome/Net. Something is not right about this LELDE configuration.

Something even stranger here! This is a FDT kernel, which should not care about arcNumber.

I will do a complement for safety in the first post but like bodhi said,
on the one hand 3542 ist the correct arcNumber for the Pogo E02 and
on the other hand this is a FDT kernel, which should not care about arcNumber.

joerg,

Try remove arcNumber temorarily in serial console

setenv arcNumber

And boot

boot

See it will boot into LEDE.

By the way, this is not needed to do.

setenv bootargs_lede ' '

And these 2 should not be done, because you want to keep these envs for booting with Debian on USB. In booting LEDE, the env set_bootargs_lede is enough.

setenv bootargs
setenv console

Does this instrstruction work with Pogo V3 Classic/Pro?

pogoplug-v3-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
pogoplug-v3-squashfs-ubinized.bin
pogoplug-v3-u-boot-initramfs.bin
pogoplug-v3-uImage
pogoplug-v3-ubifs-sysupgrade.tar
pogoplug-v3-ubifs-ubinized.bin

Use the pogoplug-v3-u-boot-initramfs.bin to replace lede-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage?

Yes. That's the general idea.

But the instruction in the 1st page is is not applicable to the Pogo V3 plug. You need new instruction.

I'm trying to follow instructions here for installing OpenWrt (LEDE) and adapt them to a GoFlex Home unit. I believe the first step is to use kwboot with uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.bodhi.tar to boot the unit

ie:

kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p

Not sure what to do next...

Has anyone attempted to install 18.06.2?

My aim is to create a simple guide for installing OpenWrt on a GoFlex Home unit.

If I kwboot from uboot.2017.07-tld-1 and use the envs from uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment amended for GoFlex Home,

ie.

setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000@0x0(u-boot),-@0x100000(ubi)'.
setenv partition 'nand0,0'.
setenv set_bootargs_openwrt 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 $mtdparts'
setenv bootcmd_openwrt 'run set_bootargs_openwrt; 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_openwrt'
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'

I guess that should be OK... One of those lines is particularly long, so may well have a typo...

In principle the installation should consist of:-

kwbooting
amending the environment
booting initramfs from an attached USB stick
running sysupgrade

Does that sound right?

Hi guys,

the following might help others, so I thought I'd share. Here is my report:

---

So I tried this with my Dockstar, but managed to semi-brick it ...

Status is that I can still connect via netconsole and I can boot the LEDE image (also the newer 18.2 image), but the sysupgrade seems to have messed things up (obviously, I did replace the 'pogo_e02' part with 'dockstar' in the files to be downloaded). The box neither boots from NAND nor from the Debian stick.

The latter is a small wonder, since the uBoot environment variables do not correspond to bodhi's anymore. Also, I get:

cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 0ff00000 00020000 "ubi"

So the NAND layout is not as required in the uBoot thread.

Here is the good news: Nonetheless, I can get that environment back, since I did save my environment variables to a text file. Using a small python script, namely

path = "/home/chessplayer/HTPC/Dockstar/uBoot/"
fobj_in = open(path+"new_envs_dockstar.txt")
fobj_out = open(path+"new_envs_dockstar_set.txt","w")
for line in fobj_in:
    line = line.rstrip()
    splitat = line.find('=')
    envvar = line[:splitat]
    envval = line[splitat+1:]
    fobj_out.write("fw_setenv "+envvar+" '"+envval+"'\n")
fobj_in.close()
fobj_out.close()

I converted that to a file which sets those variables one by one.

Before I was able to make use of that, I had to do one more thing, namely edit /etc/fw_env.config, because:

fw_printenv
Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment
bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5
baudrate=115200

The reason is that according to /etc/fw_env.config of the LEDE system, it looks for the environment variables elsewhere:

 # MTD device name	Device offset	Env. size	Flash sector size	Number of sectors 
/dev/mtd1 0x0 0x20000 0x20000

while it should be

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

Again, unfortunately, LEDE does not come equipped with nano and opkg does not let me install it, so I must use vim to edit the file (not hard,
but a web search is needed in order to come to terms with vim ...). With that done, I can check that fw_printenv now displays the actual uBoot environment variables and subsequently, I can overwrite those by copying the data from the file new_envs_dockstar_set.txt into the ssh concole to LEDE.

Afterwards, at least the Debian stick boots again. The only issue remaining now is that the NAND layout is still not as it should be:

cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 0fb00000 00020000 "data"

i.e., the rootfs-partition is missing.

Anyway, I can now try the procedure once more, hoping I do not screw it up again and being confident that if I do, I can still get the box working again, just no rescue system to speak of ...

Cheers,

chessplayer

So, I got everything working and since I believe that the process can be improved and generalized, I opened a new thread for Kirkwood boxes in general. The procedure described therein was tested on Dockstar, GoFlex Net and PogoE02 with OpenWrt 18.06.2 (and LEDE 17.01.6) and worked well in all cases, even with older uBoots and kernel+rootfs.

That's is not quite accurate! remember we only care about mtd0 while installing new u-boot.

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"

That is a requirement when you install Kirwood u-boot.

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

Yes, writing up the new instructions for installing OpenWrt, I came to terms with these issues. I did not quite understand the implications of the remark

from your uBoot instructions. It might make more sense there to say explicitly, that it is the mtd0 part which is a must and the rest depends on whatever is in NAND (e.g. OpenWrt, where the layout is as shown above).

Furthermore, I find it interesting that, depending on which box you want to install on, the fw_envs.config is either wrong (see above for Dockstar, also for Pogo E02) or not present at all (GoFlex Net) in the uImage provided by OpenWrt/LEDE. So, to me, this seems to be the crucial step in order to get OpenWrt to NAND and at the same time be able to still boot whatever system is on a USB drive, at least in connection with your environment, bodhi. I will make that clear in my new writeup.
