Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 10 months ago
I tried sysupgrade -v with these two files from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/targets/oxnas/ox820/ cloudengines_pogoplugpro-ubifs-sysupgrade.tar cloudengines_pogoplugpro-ubifs-ubinized.bin Well, nothing changed after the "upgrade", I still have my good old version and it can still boot. :P I think I should call it a "stable" version.

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 10 months ago
Well, I think change the dts in openwrt then recompile is the best solution for this box. In this way, Bodhi's debian and the openwrt will have the same mtd definition and it will be easy to use.

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 10 months ago
Well, openwrt put the dtb file in the kernel (like booting debian with old u-boot), and the mtd definition is in the dtb. You can modify the dts file and compile your own kernel, then combine it with the openwrt root file system, build a volume to write to the ubi file system, then adjust the u-boot parameters. The dts file is located here: ~/openwrt/target/linux/oxnas/files/arch/arm/booby daviddyer - Rescue System
Re: Dockstar: Power via USB? - 10 months ago
I built the cable myself. Barrel jack cable was from the broken Goflexhome adapter the other end was connected to an adjustable switching power module (LM2596 module, eBay has it @ $0.99 shipped long time ago).by daviddyer - Off-Topic

Is it easy to make the onboard wireless (Dreamplug, Topkick-1281P2, etc, I guess they both use the sd8787?) work with modern debian? I use the ethernet port, but it is nice to get less errors in dmesg.by daviddyer - Debian

Long time ago, those 1GB Quad core Rock64 SBCs were really good. It also had 5V3A power supply, ugly case, i2c 1602 lcd, 16GB or 8GB SD card. I got three @ amazon for $12 each. And those M300 used to be $15 each. The good old days...by daviddyer - Debian

Speaking of price, Ctera C200 can be $16 shipped. (Best offer. With power supply, but no back door).by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Debian/U-boot? on the USI Topkick-1281p2 (Tonidoplug2) - 11 months ago
DDR2 / DDR3 speed doesn''t make big difference. Capacity is more important. The CPU is kind of slow, but 2GHz is good! M300's performance is noticeably better than Goflex Home. After these boxes damaged a few of my flash drives, I usually just run them on NFS root, so no swap... swapfile on NFS will cause DIO error. Flash drives are for testing only, not for the long run.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Debian/U-boot? on the USI Topkick-1281p2 (Tonidoplug2) - 11 months ago
Looks like kirkwood @ 2Ghz with DDR2 memory https://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort so it is a shrinked version of M300 (both accept one 2.5" HD, but M300 has 2GB memory, this one has 512MB memory. The better part: this one has more flash, but it is not so useful now) I guess M300 is a better deal. @ 512MB memory, you even can not compile a kernel without swap...

Re: Stuck in initramfs Pogoplug V2 - 11 months ago
Your root file system on usb (the ext4/ext3 partition) should be labeled rootfs. Bodhi's instruction for making root file system: ...Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs .... Suppose you put the stick on another linux machine, and the stick is sdb, and the partition for the debian root file system is sdb1 sudo tune2fs -L rootfs /dev/sdb1by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Stuck in initramfs Pogoplug V2 - 11 months ago
LABEL=rootfs does not exist. Dropping to a shell! Did you label your root file system partition rootfs? initrd need this to change root to final root file system.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
I guess we can skip this ....I don't think anyone will use that box with the original 16GB "sd". So he / she will need to remove the old drive and he / she needs to open the case anyway.. When he / she opens the case, then booting with uart or changing shadowed password can be easy.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Can openwrt be installed to and boot from USB? - 1 year ago
That should be an easy job. Format the usb drive, 1 partition, ext3/ext4 format Just download openwwrt, extra the file system to the usb. Make any change if necessary. Download / copy the kernel to the usb. change the u-boot enviroment to boot from that usb.by daviddyer - Rescue System

Re: Dockstar: Power via USB? - 1 year ago
Just did a test myself on Dockstar, 4.8v DC from 5.5×2.5mm jack worked. :P I got u-boot messages from net console and I can ssh in later. The Dockstar usb voltage is jumping between3.0v-4.0v, so I guess if I connect a WF-2120, I can get a wireless dockstar. Maybe I can use it as a print server for old printers.by daviddyer - Off-Topic
Re: Dockstar: Power via USB? - 1 year ago
Well, I did an extreme test on Raspberry Pi zero, it can boot from one Lithium 18650. And the usb-ethernet adapter won't work, but my wf-2120 usb wireless adapter worked! It can even boot at 3.0v and wireless still works!by daviddyer - Off-Topic
Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago
I don't have access to M300 now. As I can remember, the stability issue might come from the u-boot enviroment. Maybe we need to set a "standard" enviroment for this M300.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Questions from newbie - Debian on GoFlex Home - 1 year ago
Or just install it manually... I just did it with pogoplug pro. Basically, create ubi in mtd2, extract / put the openwrt files / folders in the ubi rootfs volume, add a boot foler, put the kernel in, then change the u-boot env to boot this rescue system. Openwrt now uses the very original mtd definitions for the device, if you don't like it, just change the dtb file in openwrt and re-cby daviddyer - Debian
