I finally decided to see what zswap is all about and in the process I learned a few things and stumbled upon using lz4 instead of the default lzo compression. Why do I want lz4? No idea. I just found references to it and thought if other people think it's useful than who am I to question them? :-) The first thing I learned is that you may think you're using zswap and you really aby renojim - Debian

My guess would be that it's running out of memory. Since it looked like something that might be useful, I just installed it on my Dockstar running jessie. It's a slightly different version (v.0.22.4), but from the postinst script:echo "** initializing cache.

I have a spare Dockstar I got explicitly for doing experiments like these and an E02 that I haven't updated the u-Boot yet. I don't think either supports serial booting, but as long as there's some way of debricking, I don't mind if I cause myself a little pain. I modified the DTB to remove the original UART0 entry and changed the UART1 entry to be UART0. It seems to workby renojim - Debian
Well I thought I could muddle through without bothering you too much, but the phrase "getting nowhere fast" comes to mind. I tried changing 'console' in the u-Boot environment to "none" as well as "ttyS1", but in either case it doesn't boot (at least it doesn't show up anywhere on my network). I'm afraid if I keep screwing around I'llby renojim - Debian

That FLIRC FL-09028 USB is only a receiver. I don't have any need to control my Dockstar via remote. I'm thinking the only way to get this to work (at least on the Dockstar) is to appropriate the serial port pins since I don't see any other GPIO pins that are brought out to anywhere. I don't suppose there's a schematic of the Dockstar somewhere? I'm not sure howby renojim - Debian
Thanks, I may give that a try. I also have a RPi0 lying around that I might try if I can roll my own transmitter. I guess I'd need a receiver as well to capture the codes in the first place. Hmm... that USB transceiver is looking better and better. I'm also going to get a few of those 433MHz transceivers from China to see if I can pick up the signal from my wireless thermometer.

Did this ever go any further? I'd like to use my Dockstar as a poor man's Harmony Hub and have Alexa (via my Echo Dot) blast IR commands to my various AV components. I already have Alexa controlling things via my Dockstar using fauxmo, but everything has to be on the network. craigcoffman used a USB IR transceiver, but that thing is something like 40 bucks.

Yep, definitely a failing flash drive. Odd that fsck didn't show any problems, but there's multiple files that have been corrupted just in the last few days. I can't explain why restoring an old backup to a different flash drive didn't work. Perhaps because it was going on 3am when I was fighting with this. :-) I restored the backup again to the "new" drive andby renojim - Debian
Thanks. I suspected this flash drive is failing, so that's why I wanted to back it up. It's strange that it would fail the checksum a few times and then eventually boot. The really strange thing is why a backup made a year ago installed on a different flash drive also failed the checksum sometimes.

Erik, this is very cool! I'm definitely going to have to give this a try. One dumb question: is it easy to change all those white backgrounds for various applications to something else?

Someday I hope to be able to build a kernel and/or modules myself, but I haven't tried so far. This might sound stupid, but what happens if you create the '/lib/modules/4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1/build' directory before you run make?

According to the output of your 'ls' command, you have the file uboot.2014.07-tld-3.pogo_e02.mtd0.kwb, but your 'nandwrite' command references uboot.2016.05-tld-1.pogo_e02.mtd0.kwb. It would appear that you didn't download the latest uboot tar from the thread you referenced. -JTby renojim - Debian
I'd nominate bodhi as a deserving recipient, but I don't know where he's located. I know I and several others would be lost without his tireless efforts. If no one else wants them, I'm sure I could put one (or both) to good use. I'd be more than happy to pay the shipping. -JTby renojim - Debian
