That's good to know. I'll take a look. That Power LED blinking chirping is likely to be GPIO 12, which was set when u-boot starts. You can also use the echo method to set the triger to turn it off, too. if you mean like this: root@debian:~# /bin/echo 12 > /sys/class/gpio/export root@debian:~# /bin/echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio12/direction root@debian:~# /binby dmb4312 - uBoot

just noticed that shutdown command produced the sata errors when halting the box. as we talked about earlier I now used the shutdown and not init command to bring box to the halt. not sure if this is intended or some kind of error in context with sata problems in uboot. root@debian:~# shutdown -h now INIT: Sending proUsing makefile-style concurrent boot in runlevel 0.

Im just doing this testing for the sake of testing, this does not bother me at all I just notice things and report here for you/community being able to track the progress. If at any time you need to stop testing and do something else please let me know. when I find time I'm more than happy to help if there are particular thing you want me to check or test please specify As of nowby dmb4312 - uBoot

Bodhi, this works but amber and green should be switched around. amber gives green led and visa-versa as of now. for HDD1 to 4 that is. tried on hdd5, this does not do anything.by dmb4312 - uBoot

I was just trying to check if the leds would react by disabling 4th nibble in the row which did nothing I then just activated its corresponding values and fan reacted but not the leds. so lucky I would say. still cannot understand why and how sata should react. have seen that if I issue &by dmb4312 - uBoot

found an interesting page which I guess you already seen: https://lore.kernel.org/all/52F48EC8.9020306@killerwolves.net/ The Ricoh RTC seems to be only used in the pre-2010 units. Everything else uses the Seiko RTC. Most of the 1-bay and 2-bay units use the GPIOs that are multiplexed with the built-in SATA interface activity/presence pins on mpp 20-23, while the 4-bay units use ge0by dmb4312 - uBoot
