I tried doing that, and also assigning a static IP at the router for the new MAC address, but that still didn't work. I then tried to set it up with a different router (just it, this laptop, and the router all connected), and still no joy. Looks it might be time to hardware hack it. Would this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MICRO-USB-to-UART-TTL-Module-6Pin-Serial-Converter-CP2102-STC-Replaby cdluck - uBoot
Well, I'm pretty sure I'm cursed. I changed the MAC address using fw_setenv, checked it with printenv (having checked it before I changed it as well). Now the original working Pogo blinks green for awhile, briefly changes to yellow\orange, then solid green, but no activity on the ethernet port, nor does the router seem to assign it an IP. As for logs, I have none - I thought puttyby cdluck - uBoot
For some reason, the MAC addresses on both Pogos were 00:00:11:22:33:44, so I think the router was having issues with them both being on the network at the same time. Is the way to change the MAC address just to use fw_setenv ethaddr?by cdluck - uBoot
Nothing seems to come up when I run that on the good Pogoplug. The non-working one is pulling a 192.168.1.237 IP, but when I had been setting it up, it was *.171. Should I go into my router and give it a fixed IP of 171?by cdluck - uBoot
I tried going through these steps with the other pogoplug, but it didn't seem to work. The green light rapidly blinks for awhile, during which I'm able to ping it. Eventually I'm not able to ping anymore (while the light is still blinking green), then eventually the light starts rapidly blinking red.

Was any progress made on this?by cdluck - Debian
Awesome, that worked! I'm now running Debian on my Pogoplug Mobile! Follow up questions: 1) Is it still possible to install a rescue system? Will that affect U-Boot? I don't know the relation of what sits where in the flash memory of these devices. I'd like to run a rescue system because I'm not confident that the IP of the desktop or the pogoplug won't changeby cdluck - uBoot
Nevermind, I just re-read what you wrote - use the 4.12.1 instructions! On it now!by cdluck - uBoot
Hi Bodhi, Yes, I completed step 8 (and 9 and 10, but not 11 because I wasn't sure how to use netconsole). Everything went through without error, so I'm thinking (hoping) it's just my old ArchLinux install that's just not compatible. I'm loaded up on a Ubuntu Live USB, and I've opened up terminal, given the root account a password, then "su" to switchby cdluck - uBoot
Hi Bodhi, Thanks for the fast response! I've attached the contents of the boot directory. Unfortunately, I did not setup putty to log the session I was in when I performed the upgrade. However, I copied and pasted everything from your guide, and the output was almost exactly like you said. The only difference was this expected output: Erase Total 4 Units Performing Flash Erase ofby cdluck - uBoot
I recently picked up the Pogoplug Mobile I had laying around that had ArchLinuxArm booting up via the MMC enable uboot from here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7477,7553 and the NAND rescue system here: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8383 I followed the instructions here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 to upgrade to the newest version of Bodhiby cdluck - uBoot
