Re: OpenWRT on Pogoplug Pro / V3 - Need Help Making U-boot Work - 10 years ago
It wouldn't boot unless I loaded the OpenWRT u-boot into memory. This time I didn't save the OpenWRT u-boot to nand and when I ended up at the OpenWRT busybox CLI, I couldn't load any packages even though I could update and ping the internet. I am thinking at this point to make this work permanently that the OpenWRT u-boot has to be the only one installed which leads to the sameby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

Re: OpenWRT on Pogoplug Pro / V3 - Need Help Making U-boot Work - 10 years ago
More rambling. So lets say I get the OpenWRT kernel to boot off of your u-boot. So I boot into OpenWRT and configure it to my liking. I also enable either the pivot root or ext-root function of OpenWRT which allows for the placement of rootfs on USB or IDE storage. So I am wondering when I go to shutdown, will OpenWRT attempt to save those changes and packages I loaded to USB storage or to NAby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

Re: OpenWRT on Pogoplug Pro / V3 - Need Help Making U-boot Work - 10 years ago
Here are the downloads: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/oxnas/generic/ I chainloaded the u-boots because I wasn't sure how to erase yours and not risk bricking the plug. Plus even if I had erased yours, I wasn't sure where to put the uboot environment file (for the OpenWRT u-boot) and what to even name it. And even if I figured these out, what to include in the envirby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot
Re: OpenWRT on Pogoplug Pro / V3 - Need Help Making U-boot Work - 10 years ago
Per the above, two u-boots are loaded in sequence. Do you think the OpenWRT u-boot could be written to a sata drive and dd'ed as stage 1 similar to the rescue technique? I am thinking I could do that and use mkvimage to write up an environment.by LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

Re: Pogoplug E02 - can not activate ssh - what can I do? - 10 years ago
You need to contact PP // Cloud Engines tech support and have the E02 de-registered from the old account holder associated with your plug's serial number. They are usually pretty quick about completion of your request, at least that has been my past experience.

Re: NSA325 V2 noise - 10 years ago
If the acoustic foam does not work, you could try "mass dampening" which is a term that refers to if you add mass in the form of metal or putty to a flat surface that the added mass (weight) changes the resonance frequency of the flat surface and will either remove the resonance or cause it to be greatly diminished.
