Linux is running great, but it's limited on read/write speed. Seems both HDD are limited to ~30MB/s when using basic tools (and so is flash drive). NFS is limited to 30MB/s. cp is limited to 30 MB/s. pv is limited to 50MB/s. dd is slow as well (unless we use oflag=direct!) However hdparm is much faster, the only tool that gives real speeds (alongside dd oflag=direct) (dmesg is larby shadowpho - Debian
Gotcha, thank you again for your help! It's working great and is really cool for learning how uboot/kernel operate and boot.by shadowpho - Debian
Thank you very much! Commands worked perfectly, and it booted straight to debian. I was confused by "stock u-boot" as I thought that was referring to original bootloader (aka not u-boot :) ). Now re-reading instructions it makes sense! Thank you again! I'll go reflash u-boot to 2024 and with that I'll update the envs as well.by shadowpho - Debian
I have NSA325, which has U-Boot 2023.04-tld-1 and OpenWRT 22.04. I have serial port attached and easily available. ROM has 3 bad blocks, all above >1M (I think? log at end). I want to install debian on it (since it has latest kernel and probably better perf). My plan is to install debian first and then upgrade uBoot since default OpenWRT does not seem to want to run nanddump (nanddump didby shadowpho - Debian
