This comes into play only when you want to setup the envs for booting while inside a Linux shell. u-boot knows where the envs are, based on the the envs settings in that

balbes150, Execellent! great job, and thanks for sharing your Asus-NAS-M25 successful installation. Could you attach the Asus-NAS-M25 DTS file here? I'd like to include it in the patch for the next release for general consumption.

If you are going to run Arch, then you should use Arch u-boot and its installation procedure. But if you want to use a different u-boot, you can install my u-boot image later, after you got Arch running.

Jan, I'll look at the power button problem in the source. For the leds, you can add this to /etc/rc.local to turn on the green led and turn off orange led when the kernel has finished booting: if [ -d /sys/class/leds/nsa320:green:sys ]; then echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/nsa320:green:sys/trigger echo none > /sys/class/leds/nsa320:orange:sys/trigger f

Re: 2013.10 U-Boot for Pogoplug V3 (OXNAS) - 10 years ago

@Robert, Do what shv suggesting above to boot SATA. You are very close! And then you can flash NAND SPL (if necessary u-boot too) from Linux shell. It's good to have alternatives, and SATA booting is a good rescue mechanism, too, even if you don't plan to use it every day. However, as of right now, you can also flash it in u-boot console, if needed. The flashing commands are diffe

Re: Overprovisioning A Flash Drive ? - 10 years ago

Don, I got f2fs to boot with a Jessie rootfs. But there were hurdles that I needed to work around. Here are a few problems that caused me to I think perhaps f2fs is not friendly enough to use as a set-and-forget root system (also, it could be that there are new released features that I'm not aware of yet). Problems to solve: - rootfs label does not seem to work in kernel command line.

Power up again, interrupt serial console and at the prompt, printenv again, make sure the MAC address is correct and other envs are listed OK like before.

Download it on Mint, put it on a different USB stick, plug the stick into the Pogo, and copy it to the same directory you are on (for convenience).

Re: Support for a multi boot? - 10 years ago

habibie, It would be easier to do if you have individual partition for each OS. Then it is just standard installation where u-boot controls which patition to load appropriate kernel. There is also the issue of mounting rootfs. You would need initrd for each rootfs so that it can be mounted properly. So it is possible, but the needed customization is not just with u-boot alone.

Re: Pogoplug v2 doesn't show up on LAN after Archlinux install - 10 years ago

Waynosan, Step 1 output is different because the mtd parts definition are different between the Pogo V4 and the Pogo E02. And no special permission needed when you are root and root owns this mtd0 file. Revised instruction: Because mtd0 on the Pogo E02 is 1M, we need to erase 8 blocks, and write it without OOB data (as the back up does not contain OOB). In the same directory, execute

Re: Pogoplug v2 doesn't show up on LAN after Archlinux install - 10 years ago

Waynosan, I think fw_printenv failed because you don't have this file: /etc/fw_env.config. It is not that important.
