Hello, Quick disclaimer, I'm new to uBoot and Linux booting so please bare with me. I've been looking into booting the default Pogoplug OS from davygravy's uboot. Basically I'm looking for similar functionality of the Pogoplug E02, where if you don't have anything plugged in, the Pogoplug will boot back into its default OS. This feature is useful for rebuilding a coby grayman4hire - uBoot
Thanks for the confirmation. Netconsole doesn't tell me much, kernel loads and that's about it. I already had plans on soldering in a serial connection anyways, so I guess once I do that, I can figure out what's going on. Thanks again for the help. Definitely learning a lot about uBoot and the linux boot up process lately.by grayman4hire - uBoot
Thanks for the reply as always. Below is my uboot env. Looks like the mmc_boot variable has some logic to handle the existent of the /boot/uInitrd file or not. Also, can I assume that the default location of /boot/uImage is okay as long as the file is actually there? Ideally, it would be nice to be able to boot either ALARM or DEBIAN without modifying the uboot env. arcNumber=3960 baby grayman4hire - uBoot
Did you setup netconsole (as instructed)? If so, interrupt the boot process and post your uboot environment.by grayman4hire - uBoot
Yes. EXT3 is the default set in the uboot environment, so use that. vaidyasr Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Can I do the above steps in another linux machine > and attach the USB drive?. What filesystem I have > to format?. ext2 or ext3?.by grayman4hire - uBoot
Another quick question... I was able to successfully boot Debian from my SD Card, using the rootfs provided by @bodhi in this thread (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096), however, I'm not able to boot ALARM using the rootfs provided on the ALARM site. Any ideas what's going on? Anything special I need to do to get ALARM working from SDCard? Thanksby grayman4hire - uBoot
I went ahead and successfully installed davygravy's uboot using @bodhi instructions this weekend on one of my PP mobile. Now I'm trying to figure out how to boot back into the default Pogoplug OS. Not sure what the proper bootcmd setting should be. Any help is appreciated. Thanksby grayman4hire - uBoot
Hi @bodhi, Thanks for the reply and info regarding the various options I have. I'm in no rush and looking for something a little more officially supported, so I'll just wait for your release. Here are the features I'm looking for, hopefully all supported with the new uBoot. - SD Card Boot (not for me personally, but people always ask) - Netconsole - NAND/Internal Flash bby grayman4hire - uBoot
I just picked up 4 Pogoplug Mobiles from Ebay for a little less than $6 each shipped. What's the latest and greatest uBoot for the Pogoplug Mobile? Would it be davygravy's posted here - http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7477? Is there a nice simple script to install the uBoot with the appropriate env variables? If not, why not? Just curious since a script makes it so much simplerby grayman4hire - uBoot

Hi @bodhi, Let me apologize first, I did not read this whole thread, but had a quick question. Can I assume both the Pogoplug Series 4 and Pogoplug Mobile will be supported? The Mobile is currently on sale for $7.50 (on Adorama) so it's hard to pass up. Thanks grayby grayman4hire - uBoot
Hi All, I just switched (one of my Pogoplug E02) from Arch Linux ARM to Debian this weekend. Huge thanks to @bodhi for his kernel and rootfs provided in this thread - http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096, which made it super simple. I got most of the functionality I had on ALARM working on Debian - samba, airprint, airplay, squeezelite, LMS, and mjpg_streamer. Now the main thingby grayman4hire - Debian
Hi, Thanks for sharing and posting this. I've been wanting to install OpenWRT on my Pogoplug E02. Any pointers or tips? Thanks grayby grayman4hire - Off-Topic
Not sure about the GoFlex Home. From my quick googling, doesn't look like the header pin matches the white connector side. If you get the more standard CD-ROM Audio cable, with black ends (MPC-2) on both ends, it looks like it will work. The most versatile cable would be this one, which has both a MPC-2 connector and a SoundBlaster Connector on one end - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012GFR0by grayman4hire - Off-Topic
Hello, I know this post is a little late for the OP, but for anyone else interested in adding a Serial Connection to their Pogoplug V2, you can try this method: http://blog.qnology.com/2013/10/pogoplug-e02-v2-serial-connection.html I used a CD-ROM Audio Cable with a "Sound Blaster plug" on one end and a MPC-2 plug on the other. No soldier and fairly simple. grayby grayman4hire - Off-Topic
