Not interested myself but for those that are. Could you clarify the description of "bricked"? That can mean alot of things so if you could clarify what steps you have tried to resurrect them it would be helpful.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Re: 2013.10 U-Boot for Pogoplug V3 (OXNAS) - 8 years ago
I loaded the latest u-boot and created uEnv.txt in /boot and IT WORKED ! :) Here is what I put in uEnv.txt for a sample. I have to clean it up because it's not complete or comprehensive but it did work: dt_bootm=bootm $uimage_addr $uinitrd_addr $dtb_addr autoload=no baudrate=115200 bootcmd=run dt_bootcmd_usb bootdelay=3 console=console=ttyS0,115200n8 dt_bootcmd_ide=ide start; ruby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

OK bodhi, here is the screen print from reflashing the new u-boot and it shows the bad blocks I have and the inability to store the u-envs. I'll try to set up the uenv.txt file in /boot and see how it goes. root@new-host-2:/boot# dmesg | grep -i 'bad' [ 1.554009] Scanning device for bad blocks [ 1.558776] Bad eraseblock 8 at 0x000000100000 [ 1.605959] Bad eraseblockby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot

Re: Working USB-Sticks - 8 years ago
Let me give my voite for a Sandisk Ultra-Fit USB 3.0 drive (http://www.sandisk.com/products/usb/drives/ultra-fit3/). Works well with Kirkwood and Oxanas platforms. I just saw them online on sale and I think the 64gb version was $28.00. I've come to think the USB 3.0 controllers are still faster even if accessing on USB 2.0 lines.

If anyone is so inclined, I was able to get Asterisk 11.16.0 with chan_dongle and FreePBX 2.11 compiled and loaded on my Pro running bodhi's 3.18.5 kernel. The only struggle I had was the compiler kept crapping out trying to make chan_sip.so.

Re: How to install MySQL? - 8 years ago
On 3.18.5 on my PP Pro I was having trouble getting Mysql 5.5 to start after loading it from apt-get. Turns out that it wouldn't start correctly because there was not enough RAM available - at least in Mysql's eyes. As soon as I created a 256MB swap file and turned it on, mysql would function normally.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Re: after Poweroff command, Pogo still draws 4.5 watts! - 8 years ago
My Pogoplug E-01 (the original PP, looks like a SheevaPlug) has a reset hole. It's not like pushing it restores it to stock magically. All is does is power cycle the plug. My view on it, if you are doing anything half hackish on a PP then that reset button isn't gonna do much for you anyway - if it's bricked your gonna have to fix it with serial console.by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic
Re: Linux Kernel 3.18 Pogo V3 (Oxnas OX820) package and rootfs (Flattened Device Tree) - 8 years ago
For anyone trying to get internal wifi to work with their Oxnas PP (Pro w/mPCIe), I just replaced the stock Realtek RT3090 card with an Atheros AR5B93 card and it loaded with the drivers built into 3.18.5. I also tried an Atheros AR5B225 and it worked without issue as well. Both use the Ath9k firmware / drivers and both are available for less than $5 off of eBay if you are willing to wait a cby LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Re: Arch to Debian : Pogo-E02 Image for sharing - 8 years ago
Well my point was the more cookie cutter you make this the more risk there will be that the un-informed may brick their device because they don't know what they actually have. For the truly demented (in the techie sense) this is actually good - now they-ll spend countless hours trying to "un-brick" it and learn something in the meantime. But for people that have better things to dby LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Re: Arch to Debian : Pogo-E02 Image for sharing - 8 years ago
The reason I said something, when you first start shopping for Pogoplugs it's so confusing. Take Amazon for example....how many different versions of the Pogoplug (in black or pink) are available in either Kirkwood or Oxnas platform? Is it a P22 (but shipped with an E02 motherboard) or is it a P-21 with an Oxnas MB? Both are exactly the same on the outside but the only way you know is byby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Re: E02 bricked - how to rescue - 8 years ago
Double check your JTAG/serial connection.....wiggle it and make sure you truly have electrical connectivity. The reason I say something, I recently discovered the wires in the Soundblaster/CD cable that I was using for JTAG had split inside the insulation right on top of the connector. The cables are probably 20 years old now so it's no suprise but the only way I knew was when I accidentalby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot
