OpenWrt installation failure

I followed this guideline
https://openwrt.org/toh/seagate/goflexhome

for installing OpenWrt on a GoFlex Home unit but unfortunately on reboot it didn't boot OpenWrt :( ...

Any suggestions as to what happened or what to do?

Does this install require a particular U-Boot to be installed for it to work?

(Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section)

Decided to follow the instructions list under:

Install u-boot and OpenWrt 18.06.1 into NAND via serial cable and tftp-server

Ended up after

nand write 0x6400000 0x0 0x94344

with

nand_write_ecc: Attempt to write not page aligned data
0 bytes written: ERROR

Is this fixable?

> Install u-boot and OpenWrt 18.06.1 into NAND via
> serial cable and tftp-server

Where is this instruction?

And please pos tthe log of what you were doing. It's hard to understand if your question is not in context.

Not sure if the instruction you've used is correct. Because the error makes sense.

NAS>> nand write 0x640000 0x0 0x94344

NAND write: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0x94344
nand_write_ecc: Attempt to write not page aligned data

0x94344 is not an integer division of 1024 (1K). NAND block is 128K.

I was only following instructions... Since my maths isn't up to it, do I just need to change this instruction

nand write 0x640000 0x0 0x94344

and replace 0x94344 with some other value

balanga,

As I've mentioned before, I would recommended you use joerg's instruction for the Pogo E02. I know that it works for the GoFlex Home (I don't use OpenWRT on this box, but I have tested this instruction on a GoFlex Home myself).

bodhi,

much thanks for your support, I'm now at a state where U-Boot 2017.07-tld-1 has been installed and I'm trying to follow the guide mentioned above and wonder what I need to change to adapt it for GoFlex Home....

Is this what I need to change in https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,42279

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

and change

lede-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage

to

lede-17.01.5-kirkwood-goflexhome-initramfs-uImage

?

Yes, and also another file in later steps.

4a. CLI upgrade: 
opkg update
opkg install ca-bundle ca-certificates 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

So make sure you can download both of these:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-goflexhome-initramfs-uImage
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/kirkwood/generic/lede-17.01.4-kirkwood-goflexhome-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar

I managed to boot OpenWrt 18.06.2 by following this step:-

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

changing the

lede-kirkwood-pogo_e02-initramfs-uImage

to

openwrt-18.06.2-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-initramfs-uImage
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.2/targets/kirkwood/generic/openwrt-18.06.2-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-initramfs-uImage

but on reboot I needed to do the same thing. How do I install this uImage and boot from it permanently?

Sounds to me like you have not finished the installation procedure completely.

You can post this question in joerg's thread so he will notice and answer:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,42279

Post the log of your installation there. If joerg is not around, I will answer.

The combined initramfs-uImage is a minimal openwrt system that can be run from memory (RAM). To install openwrt to the internal memory / nand you will need to follow the instructions to do a sysupgrade from command line. The general procedure is described here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/sysupgrade.cli You will have to adjust these instructions based on the system you want to install openwrt on.

I have a typescript log but it is full of ANSI escape sequences which make it unreadable, but I'll try to strip them off:-

It looks like I can't do the sysupgrade because I've run out of space...

Also use a USB drive to download the 2 tarballs to it. Don't download to /tmp.

I am unable to access the USB drive using:-

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

I get 'invalid argument'.

It seems I need to:-

opkg install kmod-usb-storage

but there is no room to install it.

How do I tell what is taking up the space? Maybe FLASH is not set up correctly...

cat /proc/mtd

Mine currently shows:-

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

Managed to get it working!

Will try and document what I did.

You probably ran out of space since all the packages you installed while running the combined initramfs-uImage end up being installed in your RAM. So by the time you want to run sysupgrade there is not enough space left to download the required files. The idea of the combined initramfs-uImage is that it provides a way to install the normal full system to nand. Once that has been done you can reboot and install any required additional packages as normal.

Hi,

I posted a general HowTo here.

Cheers,
