Just picked up a replacement Pogo V4 (haven't plugged it in yet). So I can try setting this one up from scratch instead. Later I'll see if I can try that tftp setup to get the old one working off of the SD card. For now I'm just looking for a file-sharing option with the Pogo.by jelabarre59 - uBoot
Well then, I'll hold onto it then in case there's a build you want to test later.by jelabarre59 - uBoot
Well, too late for that anyway. I still had the cover off (I wanted to shave a little more off the opening for the SATA drive) and it was running with the USB drive in the top slot, then managed to knock it off my desk and broke the USB slot. So now it can't boot anyway because I can't use the top connector. So I'll just need to build something else, something that has USB3 poby jelabarre59 - uBoot
It's a 6-in-1 USB to serial converter from DigiKey (DFRobot FIT0781), and I've tried accessing it with both Cutecom and picocom. The thing is I had such trouble trying to clear out the holes for attaching the connector on the Pogo I probably ruined the pads, so at this point I expect anything that requires a serial connection is out of consideration. It already has Arch Linux on itby jelabarre59 - uBoot
don't think adding the serial connection worked. I can't tell if it made a decent connection anyway, my soldering iron isn't that great (it's good for patching together wires in a wiring harness, but that's about it). I'll probably put the Pogo away in a box for a couple months and work on some other projects (and probably go back to the rPi4 for hosting some Uby jelabarre59 - uBoot

Now that I'm looking at some old setup files, it was my RaspberryPi 2b that I switched to Debian, the Pogo v4 still had Arch Linux. So finding an Arch image for Kirkwood and putting that on a USB made it boot. Which means I have a running system on the Pogo now, and I can do the move to Debian I thought I had done before.by jelabarre59 - uBoot

Am I right in the observation that once you have modded the Pogo v4, and your USB stick goes bad, there is *NO* way to build a new one? ALL the directions I've seen for building a boot USB expect you to SSH into the device itself. But if I don't already have a working OS on it, I can't very well run anything from within the device. And I don't have the setup to add a JTAGby jelabarre59 - uBoot
I've thought, as an alternative, have a backup script which runs periodically to save out your USB stick's files to another location (or an HDD if you're hosting storage off your Pogo v4). The major issue would be how would you create a new USB to replace one that is dead/dying? It seems you can only create the configurations on the device they would be installed in. I would thiby jelabarre59 - Debian
I have a cable (old CD-ROM redbook cable) that plugs right onto the serial header on the Pogoplug Pro. I have seen a picture taht labels the pins as "Gnd | RXD | TXD | 3.3v", so now all I need is to find how to attach a 9-pin port to it (I think it will be pins 5, 2 and 3 respectively, but have no idea of what to do with the 3.3v pin). Then I can connect my serial-to-usb adapter to thby jelabarre59 - uBoot
Not working for me. Now, I have a particular situation with *my* PogoplugPro. Way back when ArchArm still supported the PogoPro, I had done the various tweaks necessary for it to run Arch. Unfortunately, I did a package update on it before I knew the kernel no longer supported the PogoPro. At which point I had a fubarred setup on the flash drive, and no leads on how to fix it. So I unpluggedby jelabarre59 - uBoot
Thanks. That would have been a serious niusance to me. Reminds me to make sure dirt on my screen is actually dirt on my screen <g>. Now on to trying to resucitate my Pogoplug Pro.by jelabarre59 - Off-Topic
How do I fix my user name? When I was typing it in, I accidentally typed in an "`" character, but it looked like a speck of dirt on the monitor, so I didn't realize it until the profile was created. Can't create a new one, since the email is in use. If it can't be fixed, could someone delete my profile so I can create a new one?by jelabarre59 - Off-Topic
