Re: HowTo: OpenWrt on Kirkwood boxes - 2 days ago
FYI, I've tried reinstalling OpenWrt today on my NSA310S and having quite a bit of problem. Perhaps something has changed in sysupgrade process.

You need to run kwboot to boot it over UART and see the behavior.

Re: uEnv.txt not read from boot device - 3 days ago
BTW, The work around is you can do this on your USB drives that don't have uEnv.txt. Assuming ithe other USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1 mkdir media/sdb1/boot cd /media/sdb1/boot And then copy the uEnv.xt over to this drive.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: NSA325 fan control - 4 days ago
At the moment, you can only read the fan speed on those boxes, but not controlling it (it is automatically adjusted by hardware). Nobdy has found an i2c command to controlling the fan.

I think we are trying too much to get around this limitation without examining the flash structure created by OpenWrt installation and sysupgrade.

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 8 days ago
QuoteConclusion: The /boot-directory did not survive. Thus, if the file absolutely has to be in /boot, it should be symlinked. However, since the uBoot-env will have to be customized anyway, why not just read it from /etc/config right away for the OpenWrt boot? No it does not have to be in /boot. /etc/config is fine!

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 9 days ago
chessplayer, Sure, 1. Make sure the uEnv.txt will survive a sysupgrade. Most important to find out first! if it does not, then that will need to be a caveat for users to save the file and restore. 2. Boot with serial/neconsole. Interrupt u-boot and setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=orion_nand:0x100000@0x0(u-boot),-@0x100000(ubi)' setenv partition 'nand0,0' ubi part ubby bodhi - Rescue System
Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 9 days ago
This is my current thinking. A bit of experiement needed to script the u-boot envs during boot so that it can attach and read the ubi rootfs and load a text file from it. It sounds overkilled, but this is probably the only way, given the limitation of OpenWrt put on us. And we dont want to recompile its kernel. ========== Reference to the u-boot installation instruction: 2015.10 U-Bootby bodhi - Rescue System
Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 9 days ago
chessplayer, What you see in Debian is a better implementation. We have new u-boot defines the envs location at 1MB in flash. The DTS has mtd0 as writeable. And the Debian kernel was configured to accept the bootargs (command line arguments). So everything works. On OpenWrt side, it's the other way around. The envs are at a different location. The MTDs are protected by read-only propeby bodhi - Rescue System
