[How-To] update DStar/PP/GFlex to new uBoot for kernel>3.2

[toysareforboys]

Not sure what's going on

I've got a fresh setup following these exact instructions: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... s-ui-tabs3

Works perfect.

I want to upgrade my uboot so I can use ext4 on the rootfs as well as possibly a new kernel.

I followed the directions at the beginning of this thread, everything went smooth, did everything. When my Seagate GoFlex Home reboots and I ssh in, I get the ubit OS where it says "this is a temporary mac address, you must reboot at least once to make it permenant" or whatever. That's it

If I re run these instructions, it gets me back to being able to boot again at least:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cd /tmp wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/uInitrd wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/ubit_start chmod +x ubit_start
Start the UBIT environment where the prompt will read: ubit0-6:~#
./ubit_start
Update the U-Boot bootloader and move a copy of the OE U-Boot into unused NAND memory:
chain_install goflexhome chain_revert uboot_uptodate ')

Let me know what I'm doing wrong, or if there are different steps to take if you've got Jeff's images loaded in there now

Any advantage of 3.6 over 3.2? Also, is kernel 3.6 available on POGO v2 (armv5)?

From this post, seems 3.6 is not for armv5:

I have the POGO E02, and currently running 3.1.10-15-ARCH.

FIX

Also:
ASUC on windows occasionally has issues. NCAT can send you may have to specify the source address though: http://nmap.org/dist/ncat-portable-5.59BETA1.zip
1) listen, 2) send

ncat -ul 10.10.10.6 6666
ncat -u -s 10.10.10.5 10.10.10.6 6666')

Just an FYI there may be an issue with uBoot passing arcNumber to the kernel

Any guide for Pogoplug series 4?

[WarheadsSE]

Not a problem on the series 4

Just install linux-kikwood, no need to upgrade u-boot
