Re: Overclock Pogoplug V4 and Mobile - 9 years ago
I have lost interest in this seeing as how the OP at Arch hasn't posted an update in two weeks. Nothing worse than someone who posts something claiming a discovery (somewhat sketchy though) when all they are really doing is postulating a theory with the hope someone else does the hard work or takes the risk and provides the answer they were looking for. Kind of mischeavious but I have toby LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic

Re: 2015.10 U-Boot for Pogoplug V3 (OXNAS OX820) - 9 years ago
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

Be careful, the OP at Arch recanted and said the value was now 2.7k ohms and he was going to update his post to confirm the value and that the mod worked.

Re: Overclock Pogoplug V4 and Mobile - 9 years ago
It's REALLY hard to solder SMD resistors with young eyes, I wouldn't even try with my eyes with glasses and a magnifying glass to boot. I had enough trouble soldering the serial wires to one of my V4-A3's that I had bricked after screwing up the env's. More power to the one who gets it done and posts the proof.by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic
Re: Overclock Pogoplug V4 and Mobile - 9 years ago
I hate to have noticed the resistor looks photoshopped. Wishing the guy could have at least posted some benchmarks for a comparison in performance....I would have. If it's legit, that's awesome.by LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic
Re: Booting Debian with Sandisk Ultra Fit CZ43 32GB USB 3.0 - 9 years ago
I recently purchased some more 16GB USB 3.0 Ultra Fit drives as they were cheap. Not only are the new drives smaller in capacity (14.9GB vs. 16.0GB) they DO NOT boot reliably in my E02 whereas the older UF's worked in my E02 without issue. It should be noted the newer UF's present no issues to my Pro V3 so there must be some issue unique to the Kirkwoods that causes booting issues.by LeggoMyEggo - Debian

Re: Best device for a small NAS? - 9 years ago
A Dreamplug is best bet if you want to stay with Marvell. No other Plug type non NAS device has 2 ethernet, esata w/port multiplication and built in SD card slot. It is completely supported in Debian mainline and you can even net install it. They are old enough now that you can find on eBay for less than $50 shipped frequently. Otherwise I would look to the Odroid X4 because it's the fasby LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic

Pogoplug Pro / V3 Internal SSD Mod - 9 years ago
Finally found the time to get this done, see here Pogoplug Pro V3 Internal SSD Mod for the method I used to add a completely internal SSD to the Pogoplug Pro V3. Notice I have also done the external antenna mod for the wireless NIC onboard so both can coexist at the same time. The hardest part to the whole mod was soldering the 5 volt wires to the front USB port but once that is done the wholeby LeggoMyEggo - Off-Topic
