So for serial connection on this, slide rubber boot off and starting from ethernet side GRND (BLACK WIRE), RX (YELLOW WIRE) and TX (BLUE WIRE). Last one towards power plug side is not used. See attached picture. Edit: Got it to boot using USB of 5.5.1 kernel with the topkick dtb appended to uImage but no Ethernet..

Re: Debian/U-boot? on the USI Topkick-1281p2 (Tonidoplug2) - 6 weeks ago
That has been my experience with Dreamplug and Guruplug, wifi works but bluetooth firmware won't load reliably. Randomly it will load but upon reboot it will disappear and trying to pair always fails. I had read somewhere this is a known bug but due to the age and slow speed of the embedded wireless modules on these devices not much interest in fixing.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian

There is a possibility that this device has a 2GHZ processor, if it is a " marvell,kirkwood-88f6282" like Ive seen mentioned in some places about this device. I'm thinking Tornido may have economized USI's original design to better match what they thought the market could afford.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian

The Techdepot says it's 800Mhz, not 2Ghz like M300. 1/4 of the RAM. NEWIT product description confirms it "POWER EFFICIENT TonidoPlug2 is based on Marvell Armada 310 chipset which draws only 1.2 watt and offers GHz level performance (~800 MHz).

You need 'wireless-tools' and 'wpa_supplicant'. Add 'scan-ssid=1' to interfaces.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Is the ssid hidden? Need to add something to interfaces if it is. Also, does 'iwlist scan' work? Did you install wpa_supplicant?by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Re: Pogoplug V4 - Debian 10 (Buster) - 9 months ago
You know I've often thought the V4 A3 has the ultimate form factor for a hackers SOC. Give it a modern dual core 2ghz 64bit CPU, 2 gigs of RAM and maybe built in EMMC and I would even pay $100 for it.by LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

Re: Installing permanently to remove usb - 9 months ago
rD, If you were under the impression NAND was much faster for booting the kernel and rootfs, that's not always true and in fact some NAND is dog ass slow. So you won't suffer any serious speed penalties by putting the rootfs on HDD as the processor speed, amount of RAM and storage transfer rates are more crucial. That is what bodhi has patiently taught us :) LMEby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Re: Pogoplug V4 - Debian 10 (Buster) - 10 months ago
Just a note here about FreePBX, the latest version you'll get working on armv5 is 13. Everything beyond 13 requires high versions of nodejs and nodejs beyond 0.10.48 is not supported for 6 years on armv5. Asterisk is not a problem as the latest version compiles fine on armv5. Last Debian version that had nodejs package for download on armv5 from repository was Jessie 8.by LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

Re: 2 Pogoplugs E0s and other gear to give away for free! - 11 months ago
Been tempted to do the same thing, there is no possible way I can use all my plug type devices. If you try to sell them, no one wants to pay much more than shipping for it. It's a shame as they are still capable of providing some neat functions but it takes a rare breed to want to tinker with them.by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic

Try searching for someone that has compiled it for Raspberry Pi 3. I've compiled drivers for armv5te using Raspberry Pi modified code for rtl8812 and rtl8821. It doesn't always work automagically so you may need to make minor mods to the makefile to get it to work.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Oxnas vs Kirkwood - 1 year ago
So I'm curious bodhi, with the latest kernel upgrade for Oxnas, it's now very close to Kirkwood. Given the very limited manufacturer support available for Oxnas, what functions / drivers / other low level stuff does it not offer that the Kirkwood kernel offers or is there no difference now? I have to confess that my Oxnas devices have been a little neglected as I have been devotiby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
Dougdeep, Don't forget to label the sata drive with e2label to "sata_rootfs" and you need to change the first line in /etc/fstab (on the sata drive) to sata_rootfs from rootfs. This assumes you already adjusted the uboot environment per bodhis directions. I've made this oversight half a dozen times so I know from experience. LMEby LeggoMyEggo - Debian
