I've just acquired another GoFlexHome unit which is still running the stock software. What's the most straightforward way of getting a new uBoot onto it? I don't really want to follow the Arch Linux instructions here :- https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-homeby balanga - uBoot

I managed to get one GoFlexHome dock to boot up FreeBSD but in the process of tidying up the environment managed to brick it... Still looking at trying to JTAG it, but getting nowhere. I have another dock but think I have managed to damage one of the pins so serial communications don't work, so I assume using kwboot is out of the question. In my tests so far it seems that I need an imaby balanga - uBoot

I was going to try and flash the unit but I can't find the USB stick I had so tried to rebuild it. Unfortunately there's something missing since the unit starts flashing green for several minutes before it starts flashing orange. Is it possible to diagnose what I should put in uEnv.txt from what I posted in my first post?by balanga - uBoot

I gave up on one of my GoFlex Home docks a few months ago because nothing was being output to the serial connection... Now after revisiting it, I see that the green LED has stopped flashing and become steady. My DHCP server indicated it was online, and I've just managed to ssh in. Is there any way I can find out why it isn't outputting to the serial port? I want to get back to myby balanga - uBoot
I found this page:- https://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/GoFlexHome which may well have all I need... but I don't understand German... There is a section which seems to refer to the pinouts UART-/JTAG-Stecker Auf der Platine befindet sich eine 10-polige Stiftleiste im 2mm Rastermass (J1).

I read your answer and mentioned that I didn't see anything like a 20 pin JTAG header on the GFHome board, but on a different forum someone mentioned that it may be possible to connect using the 10 pins where a USB/serial connector is connected.

I've been searching for posts relating to using JTAG with a bricked GoFlexHome and this is the only one which I can find. I've never used JTAG and don't know anything about it, but I'd to know how you go about connecting a Buspirate to a GoFlexHome base unit..by balanga - uBoot

I checked the wires, bought a new USB/serial connector and used a different USB port, but still can't get kwboot to communicate.... Not sure what else to try.... Maybe JTAG, but I don't know the first thing about it, or even if a GoFlexHome unit can be 'JTAGed'.by balanga - uBoot

I ran cu on both FreeBSD and Ubuntu - no respose. Nothing on the serial console, no flashling LED. That's why I thought the unit had died. I was surprised to see kwboot sending an image, and noticed that when it finished that the LED started flashing and then the U-Boot signature came up.

bodhi, As I mentioned in my second post there is NO output via the serial console when I power on. Neither does the LED flash. That is why I thought the unit was dead. It was only by chance that I thought of running kwboot which seemed to breathe some life into the unit. In that post I provided the console log after running:- ./kwboot -d -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.05-tld-2.gofby balanga - uBoot

If I allow it to autoboot it boots up to a Debian login prompt, but only if I start by running kwboot. If I just switch the system on the LED does not start flashing at all..

It seems as though the system had gone into some deep sleep... In desperation I tried running ./kwboot -d -t -B 115200 /dev/cuaU0 -b uboot.2017.05-tld-2.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p and lo and behold my GoFlexHome unit sparked into life after the image had been successfully downloaded...
