Re: NSA325 fan control - 5 years ago
Wait a sec. So the thing can be actually controlled? I thought it was not. I don't know if the chip is the same as on the nsa310 (smaller NAS of the same family, also a Kirkwood), but if the thermal/fan controller chip is the same, then you only need to send it thermal limits and fan pwm on boot time, the controller is capable of fan control on its own. This is also what the initial paby bobafetthotmail - Debian
Use armbian-config in bodhi's rootfs - 5 years ago
Armbian-config is a convenient application that allows basic configuration and software installation with a graphical (commandline) interface, similar to the raspi-config application found on Raspberry Pi's Raspbian. This application was created and maintained by Armbian project, and you can see more about it here in its github repo https://github.com/armbian/config Since it is a scriby bobafetthotmail - Debian

Re: Is uBoot OS specific? - 7 years ago
https://cooltrainer.org/freebsd-kirkwood/installation/ Sounds easy enough, uboot basically has to load "kernel.bin" to RAM and then just execute it. You seem to have a file called "kernel" in your boot partition so I guess it's that the one in more modern FreeBSD. for example (from serial console, if from linux use fw_setenv instead of setenv) setenv bootcmdby bobafetthotmail - uBoot

Some slight hijacking but it is for a good cause. :) There is some work to update Kirkwood kernel from 4.4 to 4.9 in LEDE here https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/1019#issuecomment-310870447 but they need someone to test that to make sure that it is not breaking anything on these devices.

Re: LEDE on a dockstar device with now openwrt - 7 years ago
@Menno K LEDE uses kernel and rootfs in UBI for kirkwoods now, so what you did won't work. (admittedly there is no documentation yet as the wiki is still under construction, and there is a re-merge underway, sorry for that) The installation works by changing uboot settings (and also uboot because stock uboot can't boot from ubi, you seem to have bodhi's uboot, that's ok,by bobafetthotmail - Rescue System

Re: [BETA] Rescue System V4, using a custom LEDE firmware - 7 years ago
nandwrite -b 1 -n /dev/mtd2 -p uImage-kirkwood-pogoplug_v4 I'm pretty sure you should not use the "-n", that option is used to flash special dumps of flash that have ECC info in them already. The uimage is just a plain file, so it must be written with flash ecc enabled. I think you should not need the "-b 1" option too. the error is saying to use padding optby bobafetthotmail - Rescue System

The connectors are called micro JST 1.25 (it's the distance between pins in mm). They can be found on places selling parts for model cars/trains/aircraft or batteries, or on ebay from various sellers, especially from China.

Re: [BETA] Rescue System V4, using a custom LEDE firmware - 7 years ago
Yes, on first start the LEDE firmware splits the original rootfs partition into two partitions. All space not occupied by the squashfs (read-only root) will become rootfs_data which is read-write.by bobafetthotmail - Rescue System

Random question time: Is there anything that can be done to enable ECC? I've seen Armada 38x have ECC support. https://origin-www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-38x/ I'm probably a nut, but I'd like to have ECC in a server, even if it eats up some RAM.by bobafetthotmail - Debian

I apologize with kofec, there is a sequence of bad luck here. It seems nbd merged an older patch for the u-boot, it has wrong mtdparts and usb does not work. Will send again a patch for that later.

It seems you did not erase the flash before writing, raw flash must be erased before writing. Anyway, don't worry. NSA310 cannot be bricked. :-) NSA310 is new enough so you can recover it easily with "kwboot" tool and serial (and a linux PC), see here. http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852 This is the command that should work in your case ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /by bobafetthotmail - Rescue System
