Re: Not seeing Pogoplug V4 on my network (running Debian 12) - 8 months ago
uInitrd was less than 6MB, so good there. I powered down, moved the SD card to the SD card slot, powered back up and all is good! Thank you VERY much for all your help! Ralphby rsantag - Debian
Re: Not seeing Pogoplug V4 on my network (running Debian 12) - 8 months ago
Ah - that was it! created a swapfile and dpkg ran this time & created my initrd.img-6.6.3-kirkwood-tld-1. Will run mkImage again and see if it will come up off the SD directly.by rsantag - Debian

Nope, that didn't help. I did check the md5sum of linux-6.6.3-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 and it is good.

I did "dpkg -V linux-image-6.6.3-kirkwood-tld-1_1_armel.deb" to verify it was installed and it said "not installed". I was sure I did the install (shows up in my bash history), but I went ahead and ran it again. Install failed. Didn't notice the errors last time.

Re: Not seeing Pogoplug V4 on my network (running Debian 12) - 8 months ago
OK, thank you! That worked to get it to boot (I used a USB-SD adapter - option 3) I'm now trying to install the 6.6.3 kernel. I'm assuming for the 1st mkImage I'm using linux-6.6.3-kirkwood-tld-1.patch instead of linux-6.6.3-kirkwood-tld-1. For the 2nd mkImage, I don't see initrd.img-6.6.3-kirkwood-tld-1.

Re: Not seeing Pogoplug V4 on my network (running Debian 12) - 8 months ago
OK, according to note #2, it says /etc/rc.local generates new SSH keys on 1st boot. I mounted the SD on another box and I don't see any /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* files. So maybe it isn't actually coming up?by rsantag - Debian
Not seeing Pogoplug V4 on my network (running Debian 12) - 8 months ago
I've been running the Debian 11 image on my Pogoplug V4 for some time. I saw that there is a Debian 12 image (Nov 1, 2023), so decided to give that a try. I'm using the 2017 U-boot, which I assume should be fine. This device doesn't have any USB 3.0 ports, so not sure the 2023 U-boot would buy me much.

Re: Pogoplug V4 can't boot off Verbatim SD card - 2 years ago
Note that, since it can't boot off the SD card, it boots up the old Cloud Engines environment, which then mounts the SD card with no problem.

Pogoplug V4 can't boot off Verbatim SD card - 2 years ago
I'm trying to create a bootable image on a Verbatim SD card (actually, microSD + adapter). I've done this dozens of times with PNY, SD cards, PNY microSD cards and Sandisk microSD cards, but I'm having no luck with a couple of Verbatim cards. All cards are 16GB.

Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC - 3 years ago
I have a Pogoplug Mobile that I've updated with the latest uboot. It boots debian off the SD card just fine, but I also set these environment variables so it would boot the original Cloud Engines OS if there's no SD card inserted: Quotebootcmd_exec=if run load_uimage; then if run load_initrd; then if run load_dtb; then bootm $load_uimage_addr $load_initrd_addr $load_dtb_addr; else bby rsantag - uBoot

Re: Pogoplug Mobile Blinking Green - 3 years ago
Thanks Bodhi. So, I'm curious. When it was powered up without network connected and light turned solid green, I assumed it was booted up. But was it instead really still in uboot, waiting for network? And when network was plugged in, it resumed uboot, resulting in the netconsole false positive and blinking green? rsantagby rsantag - Debian
Re: Pogoplug Mobile Blinking Green - 3 years ago
Update: He took his wife's phone off the network and the Pogoplug came right up. So you were right, Bodhi, it WAS netconsole. I would love to know where the netconsole hooks are that apparently tries to enable it after the box is already up. At least, I assume the box was up since light was solid green. rsantagby rsantag - Debian
Re: Pogoplug Mobile Blinking Green - 3 years ago
Interesting. I thought that if it came up with no network connection, the pings in if_netconsole would all fail, so start_netconsole wouldn't run. But there must be another piece of this after it's up and subsequently the network goes active that I'm missing. I know serverip is set on the Pogo to 192.168.1.162, which is what I use for netconsole here, and he DOES have a deviby rsantag - Debian
Pogoplug Mobile Blinking Green - 3 years ago
I have a Pogoplug Mobile that was flashed with Uboot 2017.07. It's running Debian 9 with the 5.8.3 kernel. I can boot it with no problem. Light goes solid green in under a minute, and can log in soon after. So, I sent it to another guy who says it never goes past blinking green. I read a post that netconsole can cause this if serverip isn't active when it comes up, although it doby rsantag - Debian
Re: Uboot install on PogoplugPro V3 question - 3 years ago
OK, thanks. Yeah, that worked fine. I also enabled stock recovery environment, as described at https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,22570,22570#msg-22570, but did it slightly differently.

Hello. I just picked up a Pogoplug Pro that is still stock. I'm wanting to set up the Bodhi uboot and rootfs.

Re: flash_erase, nandwrite & nanddump with openwrt - 3 years ago
Woohoo! It's up! I plugged the SD card into a USB reader and put that into the Pogo. The other stuff I did was set mtdparts and partitions back to the way they were before, and added root=LABEL=rootfs and rootdelay=10 to bootargs. I'm guessing root=LABEL=rootfs may have been key. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Ralphby rsantag - Debian

Re: flash_erase, nandwrite & nanddump with openwrt - 3 years ago
On the outside chance rootfs on MTD1 is OK, and the only reason it wouldn't boot stock OS was because of some environment variable problem (I have no idea what the previous owner did to it before I got it), is there a command/commands I can run from CE uboot to try to boot into the old OS?

Re: flash_erase, nandwrite & nanddump with openwrt - 3 years ago
Well, not having a lot of luck getting openwrt to compile... Decided to go ahead and try manual load/boot of bodhi's kernel. Pogo went from blinking green to solid green, but not seeing it come up on the network. Console log is below. Note that I am using an older 3.18.5 kernel that doesn't use a dtb_file.

Re: flash_erase, nandwrite & nanddump with openwrt - 3 years ago
Bodhi, I've never been able to boot to the original OS on this Pogo. If I manually load and boot your uImage from CE uboot via tftp, will it find the MMC or USB root file system and come up? If not, plan B is to try to recompile openwrt with MTD_WRITEABLE=1. But if you think plan A will work, I'll try that first. Ralphby rsantag - Debian
Re: flash_erase, nandwrite & nanddump with openwrt - 3 years ago

Re: flash_erase, nandwrite & nanddump with openwrt - 3 years ago
Hi Bodhi. I haven't actually flashed your u-boot yet. I was trying to do the flash_erase so I could do that. I'm assuming it's running the Cloud Engines uboot because uboot prompt is "CE>". But not sure everything on this device is still stock - I bought it used and when I got it it wouldn't boot to the original OS. And notice /proc/mtd doesn't look noby rsantag - Debian
