Debian on CISCO ON100-K9 - 6 years ago
This system has been abandoned by Cisco and is easily available on ebay for between $11 and $30. It has a Marvell 88F6282 @ 1.6Ghz with 512MB RAM and 512MB NAND Flash. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports, 1 USB slot and an SD Card slot. One of the Ethernet ports supports 802.3af PoE and the Marvell RTC appears to be backed by a battery. There are two serial ports on board. The one with the headby rayknight - Debian

Re: UART Booting HowTo for Selected Kirkwood Devices - 6 years ago
OK, I've now located another serial port on the board! This one has clean output and successfully UART booted! The 4-pin header on the board is problematic. But just behind it are 4 holes with the pins in the opposite orientation that successfully UART booted the system!! I am also able to stop the NAND u-boot code after the 'Hit any key to stop autoboot' message. Below is tby rayknight - uBoot
Re: UART Booting HowTo for Selected Kirkwood Devices - 6 years ago
Build process for u-boot for Cisco ON100-K9 creates two files: u-boot-db88f6282bp_400ddr3db_nand.bin u-boot-db88f6282bp_400ddr3db_uart.bin Nand is the image for booting from nand and uart is supposed to be image for booting from uart. Source is based from U-Boot 1.1.4 and the uart.bin image does have the appropriate 0x69 value at byte 0. Trying your suggestion above I went throughby rayknight - uBoot

I just ran into another Kirkwood device that uses SPI flash instead of NAND. The GlobalScale DreamPlug has u-boot on 2MB SPI NOR and then boots linux from an internal microSD card. I believe that the D-Link DIR-665 is also using SPI NOR, but has 16MB of flash. Rayby rayknight - uBoot

Not sure whether anyone has reported success with a Netgear Stora yet, but I can confirm that all works great! I had a Netgear Stora that was hanging with a corrupted U-Boot 1.1.4.

Re: Pogoplug No Longer Allows You to Enable SSH ?? - 6 years ago
I just acquired a sealed PogoPlug Series 4 (POGO-V4-A3-01). It appears that I'm going to have to open it up to acquire access as the Enable SSH option no longer appears after registering at my.pogoplus.com/activate.

Re: OpenWrt u-boot with Read-Only mtd0? - 6 years ago
I can do that tonight, but a little history might be helpful. I acquired this PogoPlug after someone else attempted to install OpenWrt. They were not successful as the boot fails to load an OS. I was able to manually enter commands to boot Debian from USB. The installed u-boot appears to have a limit on the length of an environment variable which made the task more difficult.

Could someone clarify what is the best way to get latest kernel and rootfs on a stock PogoPlug Pro? Do I install the new uBoot first or the kernel/rootfs?
