[How To] Use U-Boot SNTP - 11 years ago
As requested by a forum member, here is the instruction how to setup SNTP using the new U-Boot. The envs can be setup either in u-boot console or in Linux . In this example, my router local IP is 192.168.0.1, and the NTP server is montpelier.caltech.edu. 1. Setup network variables setenv dnsip 192.168.0.1 setenv gatewayip 192.168.0.1 setenv netmask 255.255.255.0 2. Test the internetby bodhi - uBoot

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago
I've added LEDs booting sequence to the new U-Boot. For those who have flashed the new U-Boot by kref/navym to NAND (with SPL). Attached is a new binary that you can test with tftp: Attached binary uboot.2013.10-tld-2.ox820.bin md5: a5c28e54364e102693c5212c6db0b81c To run test with tftp, interrupt U-Boot right after the SPL booted up and tftp the image: tftpboot 0x64000000 uby bodhi - uBoot

Re: A safer way to hack GoFlex Home - 11 years ago
Looks like the stock GoFlex Home uses Paragon ufsd driver for NTFS. It's non-free and closed source software. If the data is important, you could try to purchase or get a trial version on to your PC if you can't read it as regular NTFS volume.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Need help booting to SD card for Pogo V4, stuck at "Starting kernel ..." - 11 years ago
velo, Don't flash it to NAND just yet. It is risky to flash a U-Boot image without knowing for sure it will work. Besides, once you've connected serial console, you might find out that the problem is not with the bootloader at all. Consider the fact that you have booted with USB, then the U-Boot image is good, it just might have some flaky behavior with mmc. If you are going to geby bodhi - uBoot

Re: Need help booting to SD card for Pogo V4, stuck at "Starting kernel ..." - 11 years ago
Sorry, I meant make sure your rootfs is ext3 in fstab and your u-boot env is ext3 mmc_rootfstype=ext3 And btw what's in your fstab? Edited above.by bodhi - uBoot
Re: Need help booting to SD card for Pogo V4, stuck at "Starting kernel ..." - 11 years ago
I have a hunch that somehow the system still look for root device /dev/sda1. Ah, I forgot, your /etc/fstab also needs to be corrected to use mmc block device. Try that.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: Need help booting to SD card for Pogo V4, stuck at "Starting kernel ..." - 11 years ago
velo, From your post I guess you don't have serial console. This is most likely problem with mounting rootfs, and there is no way we can see it in netconsole. Usually the pre-built rootfs has a default root device, and that is most likely /dev/sda1. Therefore you would have no problem with booting with USB. What you can try is put my Debian rootfs on the SD card. And be sure to labelby bodhi - uBoot

Re: Linux Kernel 3.14.0 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago
davidedg, Regarding FDT kernel, the kernel DTS is not difficult to build. However, it's a non-trivial task. Take time to code and test. I actually built one for GoFlex Home as an exercise, but have not tested it because the time I estimated it would take to spend on the whole process (and then have forgotten all about it :-). I used Kurlon example and tutorial. Kurlon did an excellent jobby bodhi - Debian

Re: Linux Kernel 3.14.0 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago
chessplayer, The clue here is May 2 01:07:32 3.14.0-VDR user.debug vdr: [3552] found 0 locales in /usr/share/locale It seems to indicate that the locale on that 3.14.0-tld-2 system was not properly installed somehow. Because if you follow the standard procedure during installation then /usr/share/locale should have locales.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago
@ingmar_k, I know you're not actively working on this plug :) but just a quick question since you've probably learned a lot about the new U-Boot already. What do you think about kref's U-Boot that can be improved? So far as I can tell, the NAND version is pretty solid. I added the pinmux calls to control the LEDs and it works well (currently I just turn it Orange while U-Boot isby bodhi - uBoot
Re: Linux Kernel 3.14.0 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago
Almaz, There is really no need to run the latest kernel, unless you want to try new features in 3.13 or 3.14. See LinuxChanges log for new features such as zram, zswap (relevant to memory constraint plug computers). The most important upgrade is security related upgrade, where you just do apt-get update apt-get upgrade to get the latest security patches or do apt-get upgrade openby bodhi - Debian

Re: Linux Kernel 3.14.0 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago
Hi chessplayer, It seems you don't have any locale in your new 3.14.0-tld-2 rootfs (kernel does not have any locale specific stuff). If locales was not installed, or has not been generated (I don't know if you had done this, so stating here for reference): apt-get install locales Check to see if your locale is in the file (my locale is US). And then edit this file locale.gen to unby bodhi - Debian

Re: Ox820 device tree - 11 years ago
tilator, Glad I could answer some of your questions. Even though I have this plug for a long time, I lost interested in it after successfully getting Debian squeeze rootfs running with ALARM kernel. I have only recently started playing with it again upon learning of kref's works to get it running later u-boot and kernel. Let us know your progress.by bodhi - uBoot
Re: HDD not detected - 11 years ago
narddawg314, Now that you can boot with the thumb drive, you should plug the HDD plug in before powering up. Although I've suggested to plug it in after, that was for troubleshooting purpose. The HDD should be in the SATA slot during booting. And watch your serial console or netconsole to capture the log if anything strange going on.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 11 years ago
I'm looking for the Oxnas source code where the LED blinking is controlled (low level stuff, e.g. GPIO ). Anybody happen to have it or can point me to the source? In U-Boot, during booting I can turn on the LED to Green, Orange (Blue by itself does not seem to work) . But can't find the setting to make it blinked! Thanks,by bodhi - uBoot
