Re: Debian on TBS2921 MOI+ - 7 months ago
Bodhi, you know these things well and you don't need to run that command, you just fix the env with just a few commands. For me, I always mess up things and I need a "fresh start" again and again. :P To Ri8: Did you install firmware-realtek package?by daviddyer - Debian

Or you can use raspberry pi, hook the serial port of M300 to raspberry Pi's serial port directly. (Rx-tx, tx-rx, gnd-gnd)by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Factory restore Dockstar - Help needed - 10 months ago
if there's no led activity at all during booting, you might need to use jtag to revive it first, then you can do anything, including flash it back to original.by daviddyer - Rescue System

You should be able to run pi-hole on it -- you need to create a swapfile or swap partition. I used to run pi-hole on a dockstar, I guess CPU 1.2GHz / 800MHz is the main difference.by daviddyer - Off-Topic

Re: How do I recover from a partial setup of a Pogo-e02 ? - 1 year ago
Somewhat detailed commands. Suppose you ssh into Raspberry pi as user pi first run sudo su - to become root. Then insert the flash drive to the Rpi's usb port--ALL the content of the usb flash drive will be erased! Make sure you use the correct drive! run "dmesg" to get the info. Suppose the new usb drive is /dev/sda run fdisk /dev/sda delete all the partitioby daviddyer - uBoot
Re: Marvell Dreamplug U-Boot-2017.07-tld-1 - 1 year ago
";" and ":" are different. "f0:ad:4e;00:b6:3e" is NOT a valid ethaddr. Therefore, ethaddr was unset in environment. that why "printenv then refuses to display the hardware address variables at all" But since you did not do "saveenv" in u-boot, the old address might still be there.by daviddyer - uBoot
Re: How do I recover from a partial setup of a Pogo-e02 ? - 1 year ago
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 Note 1: You already have new u-boot. Note 2: You need the whole root file system, kernel is included. You can upgrade to a new kernel laterby daviddyer - uBoot
Re: How do I recover from a partial setup of a Pogo-e02 ? - 1 year ago
Raspbian / Raspberry Pi OS is Linux. Yes. You can create bootable USB for your pogo e02 on Raspberry Pi. Just follow Bodhi's instructions carefully. Use root. Not sudo. Better use small (<64gb) USB 2.0 SanDisk drive. Use mbr, not gpt, better successful possibilities. You are in good shape, you have new u-boot installed, so no worries. It should be very easy.by daviddyer - uBoot

Re: unbrick NSA310 and set up environement - 1 year ago
disconnect all the hard drives, only connect the usb boot drive. (with kernel and root file system) kwboot change the "set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params" to set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params try boot it againby daviddyer - uBoot
Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
The fw_env.config you previously used was for other kirkwood boxes, such as dockstar / goflex home / goflex net / PogoE02 /etc. I guess it was the default in the root file system Bodhi built for us. Since fw_env.config is corrected, I guess you can try to flash the new u-boot now. Back up current env first. This box can do kwboot so no worries about bricking it.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
fw_env.config is wrong... Here is mine root@m300:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config # Dell KACE M300 # MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors /dev/mtd1 0x0 00001000 0x00001000by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Remote print settings - 2 years ago
Well, if you do command line, it should be easy suppose your NAS can access the printer HP1022, to print a pdf, just upload the file_to_print.pdf to the nas, then run lp -d HP1022 file_to_print.pdfby daviddyer - Debian
Re: PogoPlug E02 unusable - 2 years ago
You can boot to debian, you have root, just install new u-boot and u-boot env, then all problems will be solved. ...will be happy ever after... Don't play with old U-boot.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: PogoPlug E02 unusable - 2 years ago
Updating u-boot / u-boot enviroment in Debian, should be an easy job. Bodhi has been doing so much for us! With Bodhi's modern u-boot, booting Debian will be very easy. https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 E02 has only 256MB flash. Not enough for Debian. You can install openwrt as a backup system / rescue system.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: PogoPlug E02 unusable - 2 years ago
Change the root=Label=rootfs to root=/dev/sda1 and tftp boot again. Also, I think you used kernel 5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1, while making the the uImage with the embeded dtb, the -n should be changed accordingly. Yours showed as Image Name: Linux-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: dreamplug - 2 years ago
Don't use the usb port of Dreamplug to get electricity for your SATA drive. I think it is limited to 0.5A (500mA). I soldered the 5V to the power supply connector on the motherboard and it worked flawlessly. (2.5" Laptop hard drive, so only 5V is needed)by daviddyer - Debian
