EA4500 running Debian would be awesome. I am afraid however, getting all the built in networking devices to operate and cooperate may be a struggle. At least that's been my experience with Guruplug and Dreamplug. Libertas based firmware devices suck.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Note for anyone who wants to make their own serial console cable, here are the parts you would need from Digikey for the T5325 side in order to make it work: 4 Position Molex PicoBlade Connector Pre-crimped wire assembly for connector These things are alot tinier than they look in pictures so don't even think about crimping wires yourself - buy the pre-crimped wires I have linked toby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Gravelrash, I followed your instructions verbatim and they worked fine on a fresh rootfs running 3.17. Good job! Couple things I experienced. When I did the fw_setenv I got an error about writing to mtd0. Evidently this wasn't a problem however. For /etc/x11, there was no existing xorg.conf file in the main directory or the subs so all I had to do was copy over the file you poby LeggoMyEggo - Displays

Thought I would post a pic of my T5325 running headless with Debian 3.17 loaded per this thread. I'm using it as a combo PBX (running IncrediblePBX for Pogoplug from here: IPBX on PP) and as a Squeezelite client (notice the Plantronics DECT base which I use for wireless music listening). I was also able to compile the 8812au driver for the shown Trendnet AC1200 wireless adapter using thisby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

I'm trying to remember the first rootfs with dtb. Was that 3.17 or 3.18?by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
bohi, any way you can provide another download for 4.4.0 rootfs with Wheezy instead of Jessie? Didn't realize till too late that the 4.4 rootfs d/l was already upgraded to Jessie. TIAby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Quick question for bodhi, will the kirkwood-t5325.dtb file work to boot with earlier, non-Jessie, rootfs'? I ask because I am trying to modify an existing 4.1 wheezy flash drive that has everything I need already loaded and I would like to use the T5325 for those functions.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Catching breath tonight after success with this thing, let me say thanks bodhi for your effort. You've brought a new life to these T5325 boxes. GOOD JOB!

I don't have an mtd2. Like I said, this box was messed up by the previous owner and hence why it was so cheap :) Can I create a mtd2 partition from the command line in Debian or do I have to do it from serial console? Either way, how do I do create the new partition?by LeggoMyEggo - Debian
Houston, we have a problem: The box I have has not booted to the HP OS since I received it - I think somebody borked it experimenting. However, with serial console I was able to boot using the stock u-boot into your 4.4 Debian rootfs. I successfully flashed the new uboot to mtd0. However, it appears I have no mtd2 to flash the env to: root@debian:~# flashcp -v uboot.2014.07-tld-3.enby LeggoMyEggo - Debian

I have lost interest in this seeing as how the OP at Arch hasn't posted an update in two weeks.

Copy the working flash drive to another flash drive (same size or bigger) using dd and on the copied fd rename the classic dtb in /boot/dts to the same name as u-boot is expecting it to be named, ie ox820-pogoplug-pro.dtb. Edit: IIRC, the Pro can use the Classics dtb but not vice versa. If someone can confirm this, you could rename the file as I mentioned above without having to make a copby LeggoMyEggo - uBoot
