bodhi: Looks like I've developed a different issue altogether - power supply failed for some reason. Gotta look into that before I can go any further, maybe a week or two when time available. Shouldnt be a biggie, pretty simple supply. Thanks, will be back shortly. . . RDby flyyboyy - Debian
Hi, All Been unable to do any more til just today. Anyhoo, remembered I had an old laptop with a real db9 serial port. Fired it up with serial cable (only Rx, Tx and Gnd) and they appear to communicate. Using 115200-8-1-N-N, and UTF-8 but it spits out garbage. Tried a couple of other bps settings, still nothing useful. Ideas? Thanksby flyyboyy - uBoot
Also forgot to mention that based on this statement (in Debian 3.16.0 rootfs instructions): > (If unsure how to set this u-boot env on the installation target, then don't worry, it can be safely skipped. . . I skipped them. So is it okay to skip them? If I need to set them, I'm not sure how.by flyyboyy - uBoot
bodhi: OK, will try redoing rootfs again Gravelrash: No on CapLock. Yup, looks like serial cable gonna get its day in the sun. Thanks to both!by flyyboyy - uBoot
Hi, bodhi, et al: Back to the project tonight. I installed Debian 3.16.0 rootfs on a USB stick and looks (visually) like Pogo boots with it -- see the thumb drive LED flash, then few seconds later Pogo's front LED flashes and then turns solid green. I can ping it and can ssh into it, but still can't get past login request; root/root does not work. Yes, I had removed USB HD so nothby flyyboyy - uBoot
bodhi: > Bad idea :) Yup, of course it was! Hindsight is WONDERFUL! Trying to put your Debian 3.16.0 onto thumb drive -- getting closer but still doing something wrong; don't know enough yet apparently, and feeling pretty stupid. . . Gonna play with it again later tonight. You indicate that I was following an old procedure to install ALARM. It's kinda funny, because in pby flyyboyy - uBoot
Hi, habibie: Thanks for the suggestion, have no problem with building a serial cable though I don't have a TTL converter on hand. I probably ought to pick one up, may have other use for it sometime. And, I'm all ears for any other suggestion.by flyyboyy - uBoot
Hello, GR; Thanks for the reply. Yes, I can still ping the E02, it still shows up in my DHCP list, and I can communicate with it up to the point where it wants login credentials. I did NOT reboot it (not sure if I would lose any further contact with it), it's been sitting idling while I read/learn more. The front LED remains steady green.

Hi, thanks for the reply; Absolute noob with linux, but doing a lot of reading, trying to learn. . . Was following step-by-step for getting an E02 set up as a micro nas / media server. Didn't get very far: killall hbwd #Install UBoot cd /tmp wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh ./install_uboot_mtd0.sh #Would you like to diby flyyboyy - uBoot
Hi, all: Am trying to install ALARM on a pogo v2. uboot installed fine but I had to close putty ssh connection, now cannot log back on. The previous password is no longer valid, but don't know what to use now. I opted to save pogo's original software during uboot installation -- do I unplug hard drive and start over or what? Thanx -- flyyboyyby flyyboyy - uBoot
