Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago

Now time to try openwrt route.... As I flashed flashed uboot.2017.07-tld-2.sheevaplug.mtd0.kwb to the box, I don't have the original uboot/firmware. So I did this way 1 Grab openwrt-kirkwood-ctera_c200-v1-initramfs-factory.firm from compiled file. 2 7zip it, got a kernel file from it. File size 4,446,109 bytes. 3 load the file, boot it.

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
To save the kwboot trouble, I actually flashed uboot.2017.07-tld-2.sheevaplug.mtd0.kwb to the box and also flashed / adjusted the environment parameters. Debian booted fine, but still no network connection.

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
Well, got another one from another seller. The original seller forgot to ship the replacement during the holidays... He refunded me instead. This one definitely has a working ethnet port. I can see the IP address of the Mac from the C200 Boot with the original firmware (It seems we can not stop the original u-boot) Bootlog below.

Still waiting for the replacement... Meanwhile, I added two SATA hard drives to the system and both worked. One is the 16GB SSD from Dell Kace M300, the other is an old mechanical drive (250GB).

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
Well, since this box supports kwboot, I don't need to fear of bricking it. I just flashed the sheevaplug uboot / ubootenv to it. And it booted debian as expected.... Of course, network is still not OK. I added an usb-ethernet adapter to it and I can access the network now. This confirms the original ethernet error. Continue to wait for the replacement...by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
The most common problem for these boxes is the power supply. I experienced 3 failed power supply for goflexhome / dreamplug / external HD power supply. This is the first one to have a failed Ethernet.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
Maybe there's hardware error on the box's ethernet. But the LEDs did flash... :-( However, when I booted the original firmware, I was NOT able to find an IP address of the box in my router's DHCP list Anyway, I reported this to the seller and seller told me he would send me a replacement. Now back to step 0..... waiting for the new shipment.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Dockstar Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader. - 1 year ago
you need to combine the kernel with the dtb into one file. this is required for old u-boot to boot new kernel. something like this cd /boot mv uImage uImage.orig mv uInitrd uInitrd.orig cp -a zImage-5.15.5-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt cat dts/kirkwood-dockstar.dtb >> zImage.fdt mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.15.5-kirkwood-tldby daviddyer - Debian
Re: Dockstar Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader. - 1 year ago
This uboot is older. (U-Boot 2014.10+dfsg1-5). It doesn't support bootcmd_uenv command. Solution: 1 build a debian usb disk with embeded dtb file. 2 boot with that usb. 3 update uboot to 2017 then you can copy your experience.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
C200 is connected to a switch. There's a PC on the same switch. PC and c200 can not ping each other. PC can ping other things, including the devices on other switches / router. I tried to replace the ethernet cable (used another cable on the same switch), same result.

All the other boxes use their own ethaddr(s). I don't use default ethaddr once it is put into use. Besides, I was not able to find that ethaddr on my router either. I will try kwboot with the new uboot tonight.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
I copied the dtb from openwrt (image-kirkwood-c200-v1.dtb), rename it to kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb and kwboot the c200 box withuboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexnet.mtd0.kwb so it will load the replaced dtb (name was kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb, actual content was image-kirkwood-c200-v1.dtb) Here is the dts / dtb file.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
A little progress... Not much. eth0 is up with the c200 dtb from openwrt, but the box was not able to grab an IP address. Bodhi, help with the dtb file / new uboot..., haha. I can test it. Grabbed openwrt, let it make world, got one image-kirkwood-c200-v1.dtb, I think this should be the compiled c200 dts. Put it to the bootdisk's /boot/dts folder.
