Hi. I flashed uBoot on a brand new dockstar correctly, but the uboot-original-mtd0.kwb haven't been written to / (my fault) How can I make uBoot load it from pendrive? now it's: pogo_bootcmd=if fsload uboot-original-mtd0.kwb; then go 0x800200; fi I suppose it should be something like that: pogo_bootcmd=if ext2load usb 0:1 0x800200 /uboot-original-mtd0.kwb; then go 0x800200by naugtur - uBoot
If you have the pendrive you used to install debian on nand you can boot from it and do the process from that stage.by naugtur - Debian
Nobody wants to answer that... I did some trial and error and found a combination of parameters that doesn't throw errors backup done with nanddump -nf file seems to be restored correctly with: nandwrite -oaf device imagefile eg. nandwrite -oaf /dev/mtd2 mtd2backup.img I'm not sure if it works correctly yet.

I have succesfully done the following: dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=mtd3.dd.img nanddump -nf mtd3.nan.img /dev/mtd3 then: flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3 and the following all fail: dd if=mtd3.dd.img of=/dev/mtdblock3 nandwrite /dev/mtd3 mtd3.nan.img nandwrite -p /dev/mtd3 mtd3.nan.img with i/o errors etc. after doing: ubiformat /dev/mtd3 -y the dd if=mtd3.dd.img of=/dev/mtdblock3by naugtur - Debian
I have been using the nand instalation for some time and now I need to get back to the original system to check how a script would work in that environment. I boot it with run pogo_bootcmd from the uboot that greets me with: U-Boot 2010.09 (Oct 23 2010 - 11:49:22) Marvell-Dockstar/Pogoplug by Jeff Doozan It loads the kernel etc. and finally I get a lot of: [ 9.340000] Error: jffsby naugtur - Debian
Or if you're into more hacky fun and games I recommend boa. Boa can be installed from debian squeeze repos (add to sources.list, apt-get update, install boa, remove from soirces.lisf and remove cached repo OR download boa armel package and deps, it requires mimetypes) What's so cool about boa? On my dockstar it serves CGI so fast that when benchmarking I found that 100Mbit ethernetby naugtur - Debian
After installing debian on NAND I tried to boot from a pendrive again. I changed my bootcmd to run usb_bootcmd first and ubi next. After that I keep on getting ** Block device usb 0 not supported ** Block device usb 1 not supported ** Block device usb 2 not supported ** Block device usb 3 not supported ** Block device usb 4 not supported ** Block device usb 0 not supported ** Blocby naugtur - Debian
I wanted to try and make a backup as described here: http://ahsoftware.de/dockstar/#backup but not from the pogo software. I tried the same thing from debian on nand. It's basicly this: dd -if=/dev/mtd0 -of=/tmp/mtd0.img It causes a lot of "uncorrectable error :" lines to pop up on the serial console. Does anybody know what that means? Thanksby naugtur - Debian
Thanks, I'll take a closer look on the NAND instalation scripts. The install works similiar way to what I wish to accomplish, but the minor differences are the key here. It just was a bit too complicated to install debian on the pendrive first and then copy stuff and recreate. Not that I didn't enjoy that myself:) I just want to make it simpler for someone to install a system I prepaby naugtur - Debian
Hi everyone. [ First of all - thanks Jeff - your work up to now is great. You don't even know how much you helped me. ] I am going to develop a way to create a solution that would allow an image of once prepared system to be easily installed on brand new dockstars. The image (or rather plural: images) will cover not only mtd3, but also the basic pogo soft if somebody left it there (or aby naugtur - Debian
I'm running ubuntu on SheevaPlug from the beginning (I got it within first 3 months of its avaliability in Europe) and It's installed on NAND, but I moved most used folders of the file system to a pendrive. The lifespan of a pendrive is higher or equal to NAND memory we got inside dockstar, but one can not plug in a new NAND when the old one fails. That's all. A well managed flaby naugtur - Debian
Thank you for the clarification and for the installer as well. It's one of the nicest custom installers I've used. Next thing I'll try is the NAND install.by naugtur - Debian
Thanks for the reply. It did run ok. I think I wouldn't reboot it today if you didn't respond. The "# Verifying uBoot environment\nECC failed: 6" part made me most nervous. ;) I wish you (or anybody) could tell me where to look for info on what I'm missing in uBoot. I don't know what happened due to those errors. I will find details for myself, I'm not a &qby naugtur - Debian
I have just started the instalation. It's still going on. I saw error messages about uBoot flashing and I would like someone to look at it and tell me if it went ok or not before I reboot. As long as the dockstar is on I have access via serial and I can fix anything. When I reboot and it fails - It's over...
