Wanted to get your thaughts on this bodhi. I think the nsa325 has uart booting i tried with the image i dumped from nand nut got nothing like i said before but i just tried with a uboot image for the goflex net and got this: sudo ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2013.10.goflexnet.mtd0.kwb -p Sending boot message. Please reboot the target...| Sending boot image... 0 % [++++by Buttzy10169 - Debian
That sounds like a good idea. I also modified the script from arch linux to setup the uboot paramaters for the nsa325 to boot debian from ide if anyone wants it. I just tested it on my own after resetting the uboot environment.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
try using this as the bootcmd_linux line: setenv bootcmd_linux 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_linux); mw.l f1010100 0020c000; usb reset; ext2load usb 0:1 $(loadaddr) /uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd; bootm $(loadaddr) 0x01100000'by Buttzy10169 - Debian
This command allows the usb to turn on it should not be rebooting your device: mw.l f1010100 0020c000 This command assumes you have labled your usb partition rootfs (at least for the root partition): setenv bootargs_linux 'console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=nand_mtd:0x100000(uboot),0x80000(uboot_env),0x80000(key_store),0x80000(info),0xA00000(etc),0xA00000(kernel_1),0x2FC0000(rootfs1),0xby Buttzy10169 - Debian
yeah the boot partition needs to be ext2 then whatever you want for rootfs as long as the kernel supports it mine is ext4.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
Im not sure i just used ide-disk1 in all 4 just to see if they worked and since i only have the 1 drive at the moment i cant test if both work seperatly.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
I only have 1 spare disk at the minute but i tried it and set ide-disk1 as trigger for all 4 leds hdd1 and hdd2 both green and red and they all seem to work fine. Another note if you have both green and red hdd led triggered at the same time (like with ide-disk1 trigger) it becomes an orange led. Did not realise that would happen.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
Oh no no the 325 (or at least my V2) controls for each of those leds seperatly this is the list from the /sys/class/leds directory: nsa325:green:copy -> ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/nsa325:green:copy nsa325:green:hdd1 -> ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/nsa325:green:hdd1 nsa325:green:hdd2 -> ../../devices/platform/leds-gpio/leds/nsa325:green:hdd2 nsa325:green:sys -by Buttzy10169 - Debian
Yeah breaking new ground is good almot feels as good as when my device tree patch for ix2-200 was accepted to mainline lol. i tried echoeing heartbeat into a few of the leds to see if it worked and these ones i tried and they worked: green:sys worked orange:sys worked red:copy worked green:copy worked green:usb worked and also: cat /sys/class/leds/nsa325:green:copy/trigby Buttzy10169 - Debian
Ha Yay me then :) . I actualy just used the uInitrd address that i used on my old ix2-200. And the result of cat /sys/class/leds/nsa325:green:hdd1/trigger is: nand-disk timer oneshot ide-disk1 ide-disk2 heartbeat gpio default-on so they are there :) and its the V2 nsa325 so the nsa325 v1 should be fine aswel. What toolchain / process do you use for building kernels? As i used to buildby Buttzy10169 - Debian
The output of the command to check for uart booting gives me this output: ff00003c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ff00004c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ff00005c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ff00006c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ................ ff00007c: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 .....by Buttzy10169 - Debian
Bodhi, I do have a serial console its the first thing i did before even turning the box on. Whats the best way to dump the uBoot? and how do i dump it to a usb stick? I havent tried dumping uboot and such before. And the loadaddr arch linux uses it for the uImage aswel so i will leave that as is and just add an entry for the uInitrd and see how it goes aswel. these are the mtd paby Buttzy10169 - Debian
I will have a check now. what should i look for? ans at the moment I have arch linux booting on it with arch's stock kernel. (that comes with the nsa325 instructions on the arch linux arm site. what toolchain do you use for compileing your kernels is there any special commands im missing out on? I used to build kernels for my ix2-200 (before i bricked it) using the codesourcery toolchain.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
Got ms nsa325 v2 today but need a rootfs with kernel that supports the nsa325 v1 as my system is 64bit so i cannot seem to chroot into bodhi's to install the latest kernel. oh also does anybody know where to get the uboot settings for the 325 for debian? to maker sure the ones im useing arent / don't cause any problems? update2: I have arch linux up and booting with the defaulby Buttzy10169 - Debian
Bodhi could you upload a rootfs with the latest kernel that supports the nsa325? I am attempting to use this on my new nsa325 v2 which is supposed to have the same hardware but the latest 3.12 rootfs you uploaded (tld-1) keeps giving me the unsupported board message: Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x0000020f) im not at home at the minut so cannot setup a 32bit vm to meby Buttzy10169 - Debian
I took the plunge and ordered the V2 NSA 325 so will see how that goes when it arrives probably next week sometime.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
I read somewhere on the arch linux arm forum after i posted here that the hardware is the exact same only difference is the box looks different and the fan is quieter. oops it was nas central forum: http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic.php?f=249&t=11873by Buttzy10169 - Debian
I just thaught I would update the main post in this thread with the details so People could find them easier. With Bodhi's latest rootfs from this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 prepare a usb or hdd with 2 partitions the first ext2, the second whatever you want your rootfs as (i use ext4 at the moment) This assumes an ext2 partition on the disk for boot no direcby Buttzy10169 - Debian
Yeah i seen that but didnt wanna risk it as i dont have a jtag and i tried uart booting but it didnt work. thanks though.by Buttzy10169 - uBoot
after being up late messing around with my ix2-200 i loaded the wrong kernel and ended up wipeing the uboot (oops). so now i am back to using my brother's old goflex net i already have it hacked but would like to remove ubit and have just the latest pure uboot 2013-07 (final not rc) i have debian wheezy up and running booting from sata with 3.11 kernel (needed to append dtb to the uImageby Buttzy10169 - uBoot
I know its a kirkwood i just have no idea how to go about patching / modifying a new uboot to work with it. so im trying to supply all the information i come across so someone that knows how can help me figure out what i need to change or modify. after searching through the uboot sources iv found the attached files they sound like they match my device but someone more knowledgeable than meby Buttzy10169 - uBoot
I believe i did try the uart booting before but it did not work the uboot version is to old its 1.11 i think. this it it on nas central: http://iomega.nas-central.org/wiki/Category:Ix2-200 so im not sure if its an oxnas varient. If it helps at all when i install arch linux i use the openrd instructions and image. the board is identified in uboot as: MARVELL BOARD: RD-88F6281A LEby Buttzy10169 - uBoot
There is a gpl download for the ix2-200 from their support site: https://lenovo-eu-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26776 i think thats the source there i'm not sure as its been so long since i looked it up. what would i be looking for in it to help me create a patch for uboot? i dont have a jtag either so how do i test it from ram? i know there was something on this site abouby Buttzy10169 - uBoot
it looks right im not near the device at the minute so not fully sure if its the same. its whatever the stock uboot is anyway. i build the kernel then append the dtb to it and compile the uimage and all seems to be fine. was just curious as i like to have the latest and greatest on all my devices. i cant load the uimage and such from an ext4 volume though so wouldnt a new uboot help that? iby Buttzy10169 - uBoot
I was just wondering if anyone could give me any pointers or if someone that knows how, could tell me how to go about compileing a new uBoot for the iomega storecenter ix2-200. I have it running arch linux and debian (whichever i want at the time) and can use the latest 3.10.10 kernel with device tree. im just wondering what benefits there are to newer uBoot's and how do i compile a neby Buttzy10169 - uBoot
get the latest openssl source code 1.0.1c as of my writeing and just compile it with -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV no patches needed last time i compiled it. then compile and install the cryptodev module.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
I have my ix2-200 up and running on 3.6-rc1 but when i move to 3.6-rc2 or linux next the buttons dont work and are causing a panic. How are you guys building your kernels because im getting very odd and mixed results when building them for example: a 3.3.7 kernel built a while ago works perfect but the 3.3.7 kernel i rebuilt yesterday out of curiosity crash's / stops whenever i runby Buttzy10169 - Debian
rpress have you put your iconnect buttons into the dts file? and if you have are you haveing any trouble with kenerl panics? and if not could you post your button configs from your dts file?by Buttzy10169 - Debian
even on this latest 3.6 kernel im seeing the delay right when mounting my raid. The last kerenl i could use without issue was the 3.3.7 kernel and since then there have been hangs at the mounting of the raid and if i use git like for example: git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git the nas just stops working until i unplug it and plug it back in.by Buttzy10169 - Debian
Kurlon thanks i would apreciate that im still new to all this submitting patches and stuff so dont know what and where to send them i subscribed to a mailing list a few days ago and tried to send in a mail to get help when i was makeing the dts file but as far as i can tell it did not get posted or anything so thanks. I will try that "coherent_pool=1M" fix now and see if it works foby Buttzy10169 - Debian
