I guess he/she wants an usb-ttl adapter to get serial console?by daviddyer - Debian
I guess we can skip this ....I don't think anyone will use that box with the original 16GB "sd". So he / she will need to remove the old drive and he / she needs to open the case anyway.. When he / she opens the case, then booting with uart or changing shadowed password can be easy.by daviddyer - Debian
That should be an easy job. Format the usb drive, 1 partition, ext3/ext4 format Just download openwwrt, extra the file system to the usb. Make any change if necessary. Download / copy the kernel to the usb. change the u-boot enviroment to boot from that usb.by daviddyer - Rescue System
Kace used to be $14.99 or $13.49 (sale) shipped. Look at the inflation!by daviddyer - Debian
Just did a test myself on Dockstar, 4.8v DC from 5.5×2.5mm jack worked. :P I got u-boot messages from net console and I can ssh in later. The Dockstar usb voltage is jumping between3.0v-4.0v, so I guess if I connect a WF-2120, I can get a wireless dockstar. Maybe I can use it as a print server for old printers.by daviddyer - Off-Topic
Well, I did an extreme test on Raspberry Pi zero, it can boot from one Lithium 18650. And the usb-ethernet adapter won't work, but my wf-2120 usb wireless adapter worked! It can even boot at 3.0v and wireless still works!by daviddyer - Off-Topic
I don't have access to M300 now. As I can remember, the stability issue might come from the u-boot enviroment. Maybe we need to set a "standard" enviroment for this M300.by daviddyer - Debian
NOTE: THIS IS FOR PogoPlug Pro, NOT Kirkwood Device. NEED to change something to make it work. Here is a link from Qui's blog. It is similar to his method. http://blog.qnology.com/2015/04/openwrt-on-pogoplug-v3oxnas-proclassic.html For new openwrt, Use this file, openwrt-21.02.1-oxnas-ox820-cloudengines_pogoplugpro-ubifs-ubinized.bin, because it is a standard ubi image file. pogby daviddyer - Debian
Or just install it manually... I just did it with pogoplug pro. Basically, create ubi in mtd2, extract / put the openwrt files / folders in the ubi rootfs volume, add a boot foler, put the kernel in, then change the u-boot env to boot this rescue system. Openwrt now uses the very original mtd definitions for the device, if you don't like it, just change the dtb file in openwrt and re-cby daviddyer - Debian

For iperf only, I think the new kernels(5.9.12 above) for kirkwood from bodhi can reach about 940Mbps @ 1.2Ghz.by daviddyer - Debian
Anyway, I think it is a good idea to make it a little bigger... softwares are bloating these days... raspberry pi OS has a bigger /boot now.. This is the trend..by daviddyer - Debian
mtdparts: I think that's not a big deal. For me, I will never go back to the old firmware. Even if we install openwrt (as rescue), I guess we won't be able to get back since we will overwrite a lot of things with our definition of mtdparts... The original OpenWrt rootfs partition use unused space after stock firmware.by daviddyer - Debian

For large HDDs, I guess there will be no problem. I used 3TB & 4TB SATA in goflex home with the 2017 uboot and debian, no problem. I don't think there will be any problem with the 2021 version here. For netconsole, I did not test it yet since I dug a hole in the box and kept the uart wires. :P I always prefer wired version. :Pby daviddyer - Debian

Let me post some pictures of the setup. I used Rpi 0 with an usb-ethernet adapter. Used Rpi0's hardware serial port to connect to the c200 board. The cheap CH341 usb-ttl adapter I got from eBay sucks! So I did not use it.by daviddyer - Debian
