Re: GoFlex Home total brick - 10 years ago

Tinkerer, I'm looking at the GoFlex Home board picture, inside from the battery looking outward. There are 2 rows of 5 pins. The top row left most 3 pins are: GND TX RX Is that how you determine the pins?

Hi Looker, Did you install the same u-boot using Arch installation on the other Pogo E02 that still work with Pogo OS?

Thanks Gray! LouisV did report the typos: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11663,16696#msg-16696 I've updated the post to indicate that. QuoteAs feedback, I would like to see the "mmc_bootcmd" and "sata_bootcmd" (<devicetype>_bootcmd) as the standard. The reason I use bootcmd_xxx postfix was to follow the same convention that Jeff used originally. It i

LouisV, Cool! just what I've suspected, the older MMC driver in davygravy's version might have problem with some SD cards. The kirkwood MMC driver used by ebbes is working much better.

Re: GoFlex Home total brick - 10 years ago

Tinkrer, Did you download the u-boot I posted? if you did, the command is: ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2014.07.tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p And if you have another ARM plug, then you can use the kwboot binary I uploaded in that same thread.

Re: [Pogoplug Mobile/Series 4] Install uBoot/Debian - 10 years ago

@LouisV, As grayman4hire said, the /boot/uImage and /boot/uInird must be on the SD card. You can interrupt netconsole and run u-boot command ext2ls to see if it can find the boot files mmc init ext2ls mmc 0:1 /boot And by the way, I've uploaded the new U-Boot which should handle MMC a lot better: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

@Looker, You can not boot back to Pogo OS after installing ALARM u-boot (part of your Arch installation).

Re: Pogoplug Mobile V4-A1-01 troubles - 10 years ago

Ah. That's made it simpler with only one USB port. And that link currently the only way to install with a script. Later when you have booted into Arch succesfully, you can come back and install the new U-boot which I will upload today or tomorrow in this thread.

Re: Partition and Format SDCard from Pogoplug OS on PP Mobile - 10 years ago

Does the mmc device appear under /dev/disk? if it does not appear there then the Pogo OS udev (if it uses udev) did not detect the mmc. It might use some hotplug process to do this, though. ls -lR /dev/disk/

jeepster, You have connected serial console, but no need to do UART booting yet.

Re: GoFlex Home total brick - 10 years ago

Download the GoFlex Home u-boot from this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 And use serial console to boot with UART method (kwboot) as described in this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852 Stop at the u-boot countdown, plug in your Arch rootfs USB.

Re: PogoPlug E02 Black - 10 years ago

Have you installed new packages since your last post? perhaps you should reboot after each installation to make sure the system is booting OK. The permission problems we're seeing in the log seems to point to either: - The rootfs was not created by root user. - Some packages installations were not completely successful.

Re: Pogoplug v2 Uboot woes - 10 years ago

JohnnyTToxic, That looks totally wrong. If you've followed the instruction, the first and only partition System type should be Linux. And use fdisk -l to list partition, don't use sfdisk. Output of fdisk should be similar to this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 976773166 488385559+ 83 Linux

Re: cant update rescue system - 10 years ago

k3x, Try these: 1. in serial console, remove the usb_rootfstype, and boot setenv usb_rootfstype boot This will only temporarily remove this env. If it boots OK, you can set it for real in Debian with fw_setenv. 2. If the above does not work, put the rootfs on another USB stick (Sandisk is most reliable brand for booting).
