Quote Use this opportunity to create a backup tarball and restore it to the new USB drive. And you need to be root (sudo won't work). And yes, the partition label needs to be rootfs so that it will be a drop-in replacement (nothing else needs to be done). Thanks bodhi, I will give this a try. Also, I just noticed that my current usb flash drive is formatted with block size 4k. I am assumiby mark66 - Debian
Thanks. I have used openwrt with an old router in the past, couldn't figure out why that would be loaded on a storage solution like E02. I forgot to set up the systemd, but was able to figure that part from your instruction using uEnv.txt. With "pstree" command, I can see that now systemd is the init. I am not sure if I need to do anything for services installed prior to installby mark66 - Debian
Thanks Bodhi. I missed that one. I modified the code for netconsole and added the swap file. I was also able to mount and share drives with samba. I may transfer a few utilities like pihole running on my pi to this as well. https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,42279 I noticed the above thread had instructions on dual boot between openwrt running on NAND and debian from usb stick.

Yes, those smart bulbs were on the same wifi network. I should probably remove them to a different subnet for isolation. I will wait for your instructions on swap file. Thanks for all the help. I definitely learned a few things.by mark66 - Debian
It turned out to be a problem with how the usb flash drive was formatted. I formatted the drives initially on my desktop and then took it to raspberry pi to copy the rootfs. It turns out the ones formatted on my desktop were actually showing up as ext2 on my pi though I had specified the option as "ext3" in the partitioning tool on the desktop. So I did the partitiong/labeling in the piby mark66 - Debian
Following is the output I see when I put netconsole in the background. I tried opening another console with the assigned ipaddress, but I don't see anything more after "Starting Kernel". I let it sit for 30 minutes and didn't see the expected macaddress or ipaddress for this pogo in my router. I do see the counter now. Do I need to interrupt this?

Not sure if I followed this completely. I recall adding netconsole parameters from your instruction for that step. I did run these commands and see the following in the printenv output from earlier. I was able to capture that output from my rasberry pi running by running the nc command that was mentioned. preboot_nc=setenv nc_ready 0; for pingstat in 1 2 3 4 5; do; sleep 1; if run if_netconsby mark66 - Debian
I was able to capture netconsole. It complains about /boot/uEnv.txt. Did I miss a step? I tried booting from every one of the 4 USB ports and didn't seem to make a difference. At least it looks like it is finding the images, but seems to be stuck at starting the kernel. I am using a 4GB usb stick, does it need more space? Initializing devices... starting USB...

I attached USB drive and rebooted the pogo. I am unable to connect at the specified IP address nor can I see the device on my router by IP or macaddress. However, while booting up, i can see the lights blinking and usb drive being accessed. After a while lights become solid orange/green, but doesn't allow access from putty or ping command. I tried netconsole command, but I can't seeby mark66 - Debian
Looks like you found the issue. it was de to OOB/nanddump options. Thank you. Since I noticed LEDs flashing I wasn't sure if something else could be wrong. I think I copied the instructions to naddump/concatenate from the earlier thread. May be there was some change to nanddump as you mentioned since then. Looks like "-no" won't omit OOB, -n may be sufficient based on the hby mark66 - Debian
@bodhi - I also noticed the led at the front keeps blinking. Not sure if that indicates the unit is bricked. Since wget wasn't working on this machine, I did the prep work - downloaded and extracted the files - on another pi server running debian and then copied the entire result under a single directory using scp back to /tmp. Did the same to prep the debian rootfs as well on the sameby mark66 - Debian
I erased 5 blocks and did nandwrite, that seems to have gone okay, but diff produces differences -bash-3.2# ./flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 5 Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 40000 -- 40 % complete flash_erase: Skipping bad block at 0 0060000 Erasing 128by mark66 - Debian

When I login I see command prompt "-bash-3.2#" I went thrugh instructions for 2017 version of uboot install. Couldn't make much progress as my system seem to fail at commands like "flash_erase" as those are not found on my system. System does have "nandwrite". I was curious if I should just do a "nandwrite" using kwb file and then copy the environmeby mark66 - Debian
Hello - I have a Pogo E02 that I used for a while with Arch linux from USB(or at least that is what I thought). I couldn't find the USB used with that, but was able to login using ssh. I would like to install debian on this and connect a few drives. I tried to follow instructions to install uboot, but found that I was getting various errors - like wget invalid or an older version that doeby mark66 - Debian
