Re: WD MyCloud Mirror Gen2 (BWVZ, GrandTeton) - 3 years ago
Typically I've seen those GPIOs configured as gpio-buttons in the device-tree. Once you have that setup you can cause them to trigger things using triggerhappy or similar.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: WD MyCloud Mirror Gen2 (BWVZ, GrandTeton) - 3 years ago
If you're looking for the behavior to change when a drive is inserted you could create a udev rule that changes the trigger. You could create a corresponding one for when it's removed for that matter. If this device has drive-detect GPIOs you could also use that to signal the change. perhaps easier than both of the above would be writing a daemon script that checks for a drive eveby 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: problem with uboot on NSA325v2 - 3 years ago
I do wish there was a definitive guide for optimal file transfers between low CPU/RAM devices. I see similar questions from time to time but don't have a good answer to provide anyone. It seems like there is some sort of upper limit in the range you're seeing though I haven't identified what it is exactly.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
I don't think i have my notes but I can try it again in the near future and make sure I capture the output. I think the source archive earlier in the thread may have included u-boot for this box.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: Help booting Netgear Stora - 3 years ago
Looking back, your original error might have been resolved by just installing GCC/etc: apt-get install build-essential I still prefer to use the Debian packaged versions in most cases. I usually try to avoid to avoid the extra space required for all the build dependencies and the hassle of building/compiling on these devices where possible.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: Help booting Netgear Stora - 3 years ago
Lol, i’m just knowledgable enough of Python to know the libraries I’ve written are pretty ugly... though they do get the job done. I just installed motioneye on a Buster armel system (TS-XL) without much trouble: apt-get install python3-pip python3-pil python3-pycurl pip3 install motioneyeby 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: Help booting Netgear Stora - 3 years ago
I'm growing to dislike the python ecosystem/pip for exactly this type of issue.Some packages work like magic others will download 5gigs of libraries and spend 2 hours compiling only to throw an error because you're not running on a raspberrypi. Fortunately, Debian provides packages for some of the common python libraries that are difficult to build on platforms like armel. You shby 1000001101000 - Debian

Re: LG N2R1D - 3 years ago
Nice. It's probably 115200. if you've got it wired up correctly you should see some output even with the wrong settings (it's just be gibberish). Try reversing rx/tx and see if that helps... also connect gnd if you didn't already.by 1000001101000 - Debian

Could you post pictures of the board? The serial header was painfully obvious on the N4B1 board. but this model is very different it turns out. Does this look like it: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/myincludes/image_page.php?/images/stories/nas/lg_n2b1/lg_n2b1_board.jpg It's not obvious to me from that picture but could be somewhere not in frame.

Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
Looking at the relevant dtsi's your offsets look correct. using the other buttons I've previously identified the addresses continue to be slightly off what I would expect. f1010111: 0x01 is mpp16 f1010151: 0x20 is mpp49 f1010152: 0x80 is mpp47by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
I just started playing with this. I dumped 0xF1010150 and then did again with a button pressed which corresponds to mpp47.

Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
That gives me something to play with. I verified that the sata controller shows up within uboot but also confirmed that the drives don't show up at all via scsi scan I also tried setting all the outputs of the on-board shift register high and low used for the leds but that didn't do anything either.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
That would be great. I put 4 drives in and added 4x likely pins as regulators. I tried as both active high and active low but no drives showed up. I don't see the crash anymore. I'm not sure if that's because of disabling on-board sata, adding the regulatord, or just because it's a different kernel than before. the sata controller does show up in lspci: root@ix4:~by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
Interesting. I suppose enabling gpios after mv_sata already crashed probably isn’t a great test. I suppose I could set up the regulators in the dts on the assumption they exist. Fortunately, the lcd etc takes up so many gpios there are only a handful left I haven’t identified, it shouldn’t be hard to guess which ones control drives if any do.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: IX4-200d - no boot - i think no HDD power - 3 years ago
hmm, your output looks almost identical to mine (see attached). I was starting to think mine was just broken since I hadn't seen other folks with the same issue. I've mostly skipped trying to get the stock firmware working and have been working on building on the existing hardware support in Debian. I've tried enabling all the GPIO pins but none them caused the drives to powerby 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: Help with iomega ix4-200d installation - 3 years ago
I implemented that to troubleshoot some bit order issues but now that I have it working it's super helpful to get a sense for how things are showing up on the screen without having to physically sit in front of it. Ascii art is a fun bonus.by 1000001101000 - Debian

Re: Help with iomega ix4-200d installation - 3 years ago
I took a look at that GPL code you found, it looks like it has some things in there specific to the ix4-200d but seems to be missing some things. Specifically, the driver for the lcd doesn't seem to be anywhere that I can find. There is a kernel image in there and I can see from it's strings that it was built with the lcd driver but I don't see the actual source in there anywhere.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: Help with iomega ix4-200d installation - 3 years ago
The gpl source would be good to have access too if you have it. I did a little work with my device though not as much as I would have liked with sata not working. What I did do is: - add entries to the dts for each of the buttons - add entries to the dts for the leds - add entries to the dts for the stock nand partitions - create a python script that displays an example image (debianby 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: Help with iomega ix4-200d installation - 3 years ago
I've started working with mine but can't seem to get sata to work at all (built-in or PCI). It's possible mine is a hardware problem but I haven't confirmed that yet. At one point I dug through those posts too but didn't find what the solution was. I'd be interested to know as well.by 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: [Help Request] Running Scripts from an Application - 3 years ago
I imagine there are a lot of good tutorials out there for learning about permissions, I don’t have a particular one to recommend. It’s important to learn but also difficult to keep straight sometimes. Amusingly, the website for the class where I first learned about Unix permissions ~20 years ago is still online. It gives a pretty good overview of file permissions though not this specific iby 1000001101000 - Debian
Re: [Help Request] Running Scripts from an Application - 3 years ago
Put it somewhere else, such as /usr/local/bin. Generally, to execute a script the user needs some access to the entire path from / to where the script is, since that user won't have any access to /root this won't work. Rather than modify /root I'd suggest moving the scripts.by 1000001101000 - Debian

Re: Help with iomega ix4-200d installation - 3 years ago
It looks like you've got the SoC sata and the PCI sata enabled and two of the ports are connected to both. I ran into the same thing with the Buffalo Linkstation LS441DE though it never caused any instability that I noticed. You should be able to disable the SoC sata in the dtb and allow all 4 to use the PCI sata. Hopefully that would resolve the issue, or at least help narrow it down.by 1000001101000 - Debian

Re: Buffalo Terastation III TS-X4.0L/r5 (Sakura) From Stock 1.71(Buffalo Latest FW) ==>Debian Jessie/Stretch - 3 years ago
Yes, for this device uboot is configured to load from the first partition of one of the drives. I think it goes with the first one it finds a valid image on but it does compare the timestamps on each and may default to the newest one if multiple are found. For the debian installer to work properly you must specify the first partition (or preferably a raid1 array made up of the first partitionsby 1000001101000 - Debian
