Re: Can't control GPIO pins after update to kernel 5.17.4 - 1 year ago
Bodhi includes the config file he used to generate the kernel in the tarball he distributes with each kernel. For instance linux-5.17.4-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 contains the config-5.17.4-kirkwood-tld-1 file. You move that file to the root of your kernel tree and rename it .config. Then run make menuconfig to select any additional configuration changes you wish to make.by rayknight - Debian

bodhi GitHub will track downloads if you generate a release and upload an “asset” that is associated with that release. Then GitHub will track downloads of each artifact and you can query the GitHub API to get download counts for each asset for a given release. Rayby rayknight - Debian

Re: Help: kernel build vs uBoot requirements - 1 year ago
So your intent is just to use OpenWrt for rescue only. I suppose in that case the version you are using doesn't matter. I just wanted to ensure that you were aware that the version you were using is currently unsupported. A more current version would have less potential security issues and updates would be available if any new vulnerabilities were reported. Rayby rayknight - uBoot

Re: NSA325v2 stuck on starting kernel - 1 year ago
If you have fw_setenv command available you can use it to set the dbt file. # fw_setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-nsa325.dtb' If you don't have fw_setenv available you're likely using Debian Bullseye and will need to install the correct package: # apt install libubootenv-tool Rayby rayknight - Debian

Re: Ctera C200 : This looks like a Kirkwood device 512MB mem 2 SATA - 1 year ago
Support for OpenWrt was added for this device back in August, so there is already an available DTS. See https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=3843c641d83b621e07f03753a5617ab27e55e262by rayknight - Debian
Re: tailscale .deb packages for armel? - 1 year ago
At the bottom of https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/ where they have a link to the arm binary file they state: QuoteIf you use these files, please also let us know your distro at info@tailscale.com, so that we can consider supporting it directly. So perhaps you should send email requesting the provide a debian armel package.by rayknight - Debian

Re: Sony NSZ-GS7 - serial connection ? - 1 year ago
There is a page for this device at https://www.exploitee.rs/index.php/Sony_NSZ-GS7_(Streamer). I did not see any details about serial access, but you should be able to gain root via the same hack as other GoogleTV devices. Rayby rayknight - Debian
Re: NAS 220 doesn't work with debian install - 1 year ago
Current U-Boot source has support for the Seagate NAS220 also, so you could also build and replace the stock U-Boot. OpenWrt has a binary available at https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0/targets/kirkwood/generic/u-boot-nas220/u-boot.kwb rayby rayknight - uBoot

Re: Bricked my Synology RS212 - seeking advice - 1 year ago
Renee, You should be able to get a RS212 specific U-Boot binary by downloading the latest DSM from Synology at https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/download/RS212#system. This should be the file DSM_RS212_*.pat (where * is the latest version). This is actually a POSIX tar archive so can be unpacked on linux using the command "tar xvf DSM_RS212_*.pat". The result will be the contby rayknight - uBoot
Re: U-Boot w/ MMC/SD-card booting for Pogoplug Series 4 - 1 year ago
From your description of inserting the SD card after the unit is powered on causing the card to be recognized it sounds like you may have an issue with the SD card detection mechanism. Perhaps some obstruction which causes an intermittent short.by rayknight - uBoot

Re: Debian on QNAP Turbo Station (TS-xxx) - 1 year ago
U-Boot source code appear to be available for most of the QNAP devices. Should be able to update U-Boot to remove the limitations. I'm on holiday until late August, but would be happy to look into this when I get back. I currently have a TS-219+and a TS-112. Rayby rayknight - Debian
