Well I tried with two different 4GB SD cards, both of them are from old cameras. Both formatted to ext3 via gparted and did the procedure described, twice with Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi and once with Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi and the results have been the same: led blinking green for about 10 seconds and then steady orange or yellowish. In neither case had I been abby algarcia - Debian
After following these steps I had a different outcome: Blinking green for a few seconds and the steady orange. That's some difference!by algarcia - Debian
I’m at the same point I was when I started the thread, the only difference is I know there’s a uboot running and it’s version. I just tried making a rootfs with alarm and debian, none booted. ext3 thumb drive, did everything in linux following your guide and alarm guide and still the same: LED blinks green for a couple of seconds and then blinks green until i disconnect it.by algarcia - Debian
Well apparently I did something awful while soldering and now I can't get anything via serial, so any more attempts I guess will result in nothing. The rootfs I had was from an Arch installation I had up and running for about 4-5 years maybe, now I don't have it anymore. My only hope right now is building a usb drive from scratch that magically boots out of that U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1by algarcia - Debian
You were right, I actually attached the GND to actual ground on the board and finally got a reading ����� U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1 (Jul 18 2014 - 00:59:45) Pogoplug V4 SoC: Kirkwood 88F6192_A1 DRAM: 128 MiB WARNING: Caches not enabled NAND: 128 MiB MMC: kwsdio: 0 In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: egiga0 Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 (Re)start USby algarcia - Debian

Switching Rx to Tx gave me some output, just garbled text but it’s something. This https://photos.app.goo.gl/A49taLn9y6ezUh338 is the interface I’m using. I’ll be posting the log tomorrow, thanks for the support.by algarcia - Debian
I've been happily using my Pogoplug mobile v4 for about two years with an Arch installation I'venever upgraded. Last week I wanted to switch to Debian, pasted some commands I read in this forum and now all is gone to hell and don't really do what to do now. I have a 500gb drive with a 4GB partition that used to boot Arch and the other partition for files, downloads and serving tby algarcia - Debian
