Re: GoFelx-Net without SATA device - 12 years ago
Cool! See if you can use the 2nd SATA port by plugging in another SATA disk. I think the sheevaplug patch has 2 SATA ports already, but it's good to confirm it. If you can access it, then perhaps there is no need to update kernel (you will only gain the LEDs control). You can make it a bit better by using an updated kernel with the GoFlex Net archNumber 3089. I've posted one here:by bodhi - Debian
Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 12 years ago
Yes, it is OK to do apt-get upgrade. But as restamp said, should backup your system first. You can also change apt sources list to use wheezy before apt-get upgrade. But prepare for a massive amount of updates! a lot of packages will be kept at older version, because the kernel is still 2.6.x.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: How to jailbreak a used Pogoplug E02 - 12 years ago
Hi restamp, Yes, this hobby is addictive :) I'm fortunate that it also helps me in my works. What I think will happen when you boot up with the serial console attached is you will see the uBoot count down, and you can interrupt it. Recently I had to do a somewhat similar hack for a Pogo Mobile. I think chances are the original uBoot on the Pogo E02 will have a count down (even if it isby bodhi - Off-Topic

Re: How to jailbreak a used Pogoplug E02 - 12 years ago
Hi restamp, If you buy it on eBay, you could ask the seller could go to my.pogoplug.com and de-register the device, and then you can register it again. But if the seller does not do that (either unwilling or bought the device from somebody else in the first place) then it's a big hassle. I don't know if you call Pogoplug they will be willing to de-register the device, I'd doubtby bodhi - Off-Topic
Re: Pogo E02 arcNumber and machid - 12 years ago
@chessplayer, I've suspected that davy's rootfs (Linux version 3.3.2-kirkwide ) does not have E02 support. When I looked at that rootfs config file I did not see Pogoplug E02 or V4. But it was on the Dropbox so I can't be sure. So I guess you can do these: 1. Use netconsole to remove machid (use command setenv machid) so that you're back to old settings. 2.

Pogo E02 arcNumber and machid - 12 years ago
Hi chessplayer, The reason is the current uBoot has a glitch that it will ignore arcNumber 3542, and not passing it to the kernel. So we need to also set machid to dd6 using "fw_setenv machid dd6". I've posted it here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11601,11637#msg-11637. And I really defer to davygravy for the effort to have a "universal kernel" :) I only wantby bodhi - Debian
Re: Pogoplug E02 information sought ... - 12 years ago
chessplayer, you're not really running Pogo E02! it is running as a 2097 reference board. [ 0.000000] Machine: Marvell SheevaPlug Reference Board This is probably because of the machid env was not set to dd6.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Linux kernel 3.2.28 Kirkwood package - 12 years ago
Hi chessplayer, There is really no special reason why I'm still on kernel 3.2.x. I tend to upgrade slowly to get the most stable kernel, and still get the latest packages for the OS. IMO, if you run Kirkwood, then you should use Kirwood-patched kernel 3.2.x. or later. This is because of discovery of problem in booting older uBoot with kernel 3.2.x, and also problem with chip timing. Theseby bodhi - Debian

You could do it from Linux command line, if you have a saved mtd0 image (saved after you've installed Arch). Be careful to note the size and the mtdparts payout.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: [Pogoplug Mobile] Install uBoot/Debian - 12 years ago
Hi Twinclouds, Sorry I was a little too vague about the starting point! that was because post was copied from another thread, i.e. context:) I will update it to be a little more elaborate. 1. The goal is to flash this uBoot from Linux environment. Davy's instruction for this uBoot was written to show how he installed it from serial console.
