Re: New rootfs for Pogo V4 doesn't work - 10 months ago

Did you label your boot drive "rootfs" e2label /dev/sd(x) rootfs or when you format the drive mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/sd(x) You can check the existing drive if it has a label by e2label /dev/sd(x)

Re: Debian trixie for Kirkwood boxes - 1 year ago

Looking at some of the other legacy type hardware, maybe 32 bit i386 could share the same fate? Saw that the availability of hardware to grind out the code and test is becoming an issue as well as finding people interested in maintaining.

Re: dreamplug - 1 year ago

mrc333777 it is highly unlikely that the esata port on the Dreamplug is an "esatap" that is an esata plug with built in power. You usually only find those on laptops and they are primarily for optical drives.

Alas Gravelrash, I am on the other side of the pond (popularly known as the Atlantic Ocean lol) so shipping would be kinda pricey but I do appreciate your offer.

Re: Debian on Checkpoint L-50 - 1 year ago

On another front, my research tells me there is an unused Expresscard 34 slot on that board. If this is active, expansion options may include USB 3.0 and SATA cards which are relatively cheap. Anybody know if this slot is active? Keep in mind there is a cutout for it in the front of the enclosure which has a blank in it.

Latest kernels seem to get internal wifi and bt working again based on latest experimentation with my pair. Nice device with built in audio output plus the esata port should support sata ii port multiplication. Hack away!

Oh now I remember reading that, been a little while. Easy fix, bought another E02 recently at a price I could not resist. Nice shiny black one saved from e-cycling. Joins the club of over 30 Pogoplug(19), Kace (7), Cisco (2), Globalscale (6) and Akitio (1)devices.

Fw_setenv no longer available in u-boot-tools - 1 year ago

Went to modify uInitrd load address for greater than 12M uInitrd for a E02 upgraded to the latest Kirkwood 6 kernel and discovered fw_setenv is no longer included in u-boot-tools and is therefor not available at the command line. This appears to be for Bullseye and later Debian versions. Easy enough to fix with serial console but unexpected nonetheless. Did I miss something somewhere bodhi?

So for serial connection on this, slide rubber boot off and starting from ethernet side GRND (BLACK WIRE), RX (YELLOW WIRE) and TX (BLUE WIRE). Last one towards power plug side is not used.

Re: Debian/U-boot? on the USI Topkick-1281p2 (Tonidoplug2) - 2 years ago

That has been my experience with Dreamplug and Guruplug, wifi works but bluetooth firmware won't load reliably. Randomly it will load but upon reboot it will disappear and trying to pair always fails. I had read somewhere this is a known bug but due to the age and slow speed of the embedded wireless modules on these devices not much interest in fixing.

There is a possibility that this device has a 2GHZ processor, if it is a " marvell,kirkwood-88f6282" like Ive seen mentioned in some places about this device. I'm thinking Tornido may have economized USI's original design to better match what they thought the market could afford.

You need 'wireless-tools' and 'wpa_supplicant'. Add 'scan-ssid=1' to interfaces.

Re: Installing permanently to remove usb - 3 years ago

rD, If you were under the impression NAND was much faster for booting the kernel and rootfs, that's not always true and in fact some NAND is dog ass slow. So you won't suffer any serious speed penalties by putting the rootfs on HDD as the processor speed, amount of RAM and storage transfer rates are more crucial. That is what bodhi has patiently taught us :) LME

Re: Pogoplug V4 - Debian 10 (Buster) - 3 years ago

Just a note here about FreePBX, the latest version you'll get working on armv5 is 13. Everything beyond 13 requires high versions of nodejs and nodejs beyond 0.10.48 is not supported for 6 years on armv5. Asterisk is not a problem as the latest version compiles fine on armv5. Last Debian version that had nodejs package for download on armv5 from repository was Jessie 8.
