LED control on pink pogoplug?

fw_setenv arcNumber ####(replace with your arcnumber)

If you don't have fw_setenv and fw_printenv installed:

*Don't replace your U-boot environment though.*

cd /tmp
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/ins ... ot_mtd0.sh
chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh

or you can install the package that has fw_setenv uboot-env You will just need to uncomment the correct line in the config file.

I'm new to arch linux and pogoplug architecture. I have installed the uboot-env package as suggested but what line is the correct line to uncomment in the fw_env.config file for the pogoplug v2 (pogo-e02)?

I'm using the Dockstar config on my E02:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# Configuration file for fw_(printenv/saveenv) utility.
# Up to two entries are valid, in this case the redundand
# environment sector is assumed present.
# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size
#/dev/mtd2 0x0000 0x20000 0x20000

# segate dockstar:
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000
')

I recently reinstalled ArchLinuxARM on my PogoPlug V2. I wanted to find a new way to set the LED to green after my system reached multi-user mode and I wanted to utilize the new systemd approach.

Below is a systemd .service script I named setgreenled.service and installed (saved) in /etc/systemd/system. If you create this .service file you will need to activate it with the command systemctl enable setgreenled, then reboot or if you want to test it right away use the command systemctl start setgreenled. Here is the setgreenled.service file.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[Unit]
Description=Set Green LED
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/echo none > /sys/class/leds/status\:blue\:health/trigger'
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sleep 1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/status\:green\:health/trigger'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

If you don't want to use the systemd .service file method above, you can create a tmpfiles.d .conf file. I also tested making one of these files, which I called setgreenled.conf and saved the file in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d. Just save the file in that directory and reboot. Here is the file.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
w /sys/class/leds/status\:blue\:health/trigger - - - - none
w /sys/class/leds/status\:green\:health/trigger - - - - default-on
')

arcnumber doesnt work on e02. You need to set machid. Look in Unoot upgrading guide in my signature. It will go to green automatically.

EDIT: install uboot-env package and run this command:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'fw_setenv machid dd6')

That's it, no services necessary

Thank you moonman, that is even more elegant ... plus with the current distro (which I reinstalled from scratch a few days ago), there was no need to install any additional packages. I simply ran fw_setenv machid dd6 and rebooted.

If there was any benefit to using a service (my setgreenled.conf tmpfiles.d method listed above) it would be that it works as kind of an annunciator. When the PogoPlug is powered on, the power light starts off orange, but after it gets to a multi-user state the light turns green. Kind of a visual indicator that the system is booted and ready for service.
