How do I identify the uBoot version I have installed on my GoFlex Home unit?by balanga - uBoot
Actually I've found that I can boot both Arch and Debian from the same uboot. Not sure how to identify which uboot it is. The info about the boot process is very useful. Is it possible to mount NAND storage?by balanga - Rescue System
What I'm still unsure about after messing about with u-boot for some time, is how the boot process works...Is u-boot in NAND and it loads the OS using bootcmd from fw_printenv? ALARM is currently on a SATA disk. If I insert a USB stick with either Arch Linux or Debian on it, should I expect it to boot? The original Seagate GoFlex Home stock software was installed in NAND so the systemby balanga - Rescue System

I'm trying to follow instructions here for installing OpenWrt (LEDE) and adapt them to a GoFlex Home unit. I believe the first step is to use kwboot with uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.bodhi.tar to boot the unit ie: kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p Not sure what to do next...by balanga - Rescue System

Many thanks that worked fine but when running fw_printenv I get: # fw_printenv Cannot parse config file '/etc/fw_env.config': Invalid argument Do I need to edit /etc/fw_env.config first?by balanga - Rescue System

I installed ALARM very recently using instructions here https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home but don't have an fw_printenv command. Is this something I can install via ssh?

Just trying again I get:- SoC: Kirkwood 88F6281_A1 DRAM: 128 MiB WARNING: Caches not enabled NAND: 256 MiB *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment Do I need to take any notice of this?

Thanks, bodhi. I looked at the post but was not sure what the starting point was.... If I'm using a stock GoFlex Home unit what do I need to do first? I can ssh into the unit and know how to install ALARM but am not sure if that is what I need to do.by balanga - Rescue System

I have a GoFlex Home unit which I am aiming to upgrade in the near future, but before I do I wanted to have a good look around the system and I've found that Midnight Commander is an excellent tool for letting me do this.
