did you try looking at the (crappy, partial) guide I put down on openwrt forums? https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=316900#p316900 Note that the bootcmd was suggested by the kernel itself.by bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
when you boot you see a red light in the USB led? If yes, then your dtb is the newer one, kirkwood-nsa310b-lmsensor-redusbled.dtb Only thing changed is the led though, you can live well with the one you have.by bobafetthotmail - Debian
I posted a question for all people interested in using the GPU on this box, and for those that know something about kernel, pci IDs, and libpciaccess library. please head here in the thread for graphics for this box http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?9,26555,page=3by bobafetthotmail - Debian
It seems it sees the device (it sees sdb) but does not see the partition (sdb1). can you post the output of dmesg? That's driver messages, it will tell us what is happening when you connect the device. connect the usb hdd, then write "dmesg" in the command line, you will see a long dump of stuff, the last lines will be talking about the device you just connected, post that.by bobafetthotmail - Debian

best thing I find with some low-level info about these switches is the comments in this github https://github.com/mmilburn/marvell-switch It seems to have more data than what I can see from linux mainline driver. Backtracking the patch the guy talks about in his github (that is a broken link) I get here where the same guy is discussing the issue and posting more info with other devs. https:by bobafetthotmail - Debian
> The only thing remains not working is network during boot. you mean the switch? Wasn't the "WAN" eth port connected to the SoC directly? It's not so bad if the WAN port can work for netconsole.by bobafetthotmail - Debian
> Unknown meaning it never works right because we need to port the correct driver? It means we don't know if you need to hack the dtb some more, until we have a working 2D driver we can't really operate the GPU (we are at frambefuffer only, this is 2D-capable hardware), nor see if it gives errors about lack of dtb settings.by bobafetthotmail - Debian

Any fan makes it vibrate like a drum (I tried different fans too), while if you leave the fan free without the metal plaby bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
> Are we missing something with graphics adaptor? Unknown, someone needs to compile/configure a working driver first. I will give some tries later this week. I think it should not need dtb changes tho, but you never really know until you try.by bobafetthotmail - Debian
"root" is rarely if ever used in commercial routers, no common user knows what "root" is. stock user is usually "admin" or "Admin" and passwords are "admin" "1234" "0000" or similar. according to wikidevi, that router's user/pwd is "admin" and "admin" https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Linksys_EA4500by bobafetthotmail - Debian
> Wow, too bad I printed a label and dropped off the return box. I'd have had nothing to lose trying. Better to get your money back, imho. My hub is 4-ports while yours is 7. The controller has only 4 ports, so they likely chained them, and updating the second one might be difficult or impossible.

Hmm, might have spoken too soon, kinda. I have a device with the same ID, and it should be a usb 3.0. But just like yours, it is recognised as usb 2.0, also on windows.

FYI, most web services tend to react appropriately if you try a password for too much times. That is, they block login for a while after 10 or so tries. I wouldn't go too bonkers with password complexity for that. For local stuff that can be accessed and bruteforced locally, they still make sense.by bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
> Nice! - will you be using mantis scope or simllar? or are you a JEDI with a soldering iron? I'm able to solder flash chips like the one in photo by hand, given enough time. It's not SMD chips with hundreds of minuscule feet or BGA. The one in my router (and in your thin clients) has relatively big feet, so it is easy, see here https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=54717by bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic

Heh, I would check if the power brick is actually outputting 5v or if it is unstable as heck. From the testing, it seems that when you add the power brick it becomes unstable. try attaching the hub to a usb 3.0 port and then attach a single usb 3.0 hard drive to it, it should theoretically have enough power to run a single disk without the power brick.by bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
mh, you can also install a good onboard keyboard app that emulates a full PC keyboard. I use Hacker's Keyboard. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard Despite the name, it is probably the only opensource keyboard app around (it is also in f-droid repos, the FOSS app repository I use), and this ensures that it isn't sniffing what you write.by bobafetthotmail - Off-Topic
Looks like the firmware lacks the tools. There is no law forcing them to include the tools in the firmware. :) bodhi has made a bundle with the tools you can use here http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,27280 As for the partition in read-only, write "mount" to see a list of partitions that are mounted, then remount that partition as read-write with this http://askubuntu.com/questiby bobafetthotmail - uBoot
+1 for the optimization suggested by bodhi, it is the same as what I suggested above. Also, further googleing found that TCP_NODELAY option seems to be the culprit here http://serverfault.com/questions/443557/ubuntu-12-04-samba-file-server-timeout-on-large-fileby bobafetthotmail - Debian
> It is flashing red so it is highy likely recoverable without serial console. Yes, but it is certainly easier with one, though. Maybe netconsole, if it is setup correctly.

haha, you're still doing it the old way. That tablet has bluetooth. Use bluetooth keyboard/mouse instead. There are also nice mediacenter keyboard-mice combinations like the famous minix airmouse http://www.minix.us/products/NEOA2.html that work with bluetooth.
