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

[dikins]

Thanks moonman, you save me again

And one last thing. The MAC address appears to be different after every reboot.
It's so annoying

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'J')ust one side note: I had to correct the MAC Address on the device by calling

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/usr/sbin/fw_setenv ethaddr 00:10:75:29:de:ad')

(as stated on the sticker on the bottom of my device). It was set to a different one than the one I set when I installed uboot (v0.6 ?) a long time ago.

[moonman]

Yes it will fix it

[ThinkFast]

How do I tell what version of uboot I have?
If I followed the instructions for "Pogoplug v2 (Pink/Gray)", would I have the new uboot?

[moonman]

If you installed recently (withing the last 6 months) then you have the new u-boot.

[ThinkFast]

Thanks!

I just got my new Pogo E02 and also upgraded my Goflex Net tu new uBoot and latest rootfs with systemd.

Goflex is fine....but Pogo does not show any output for uBoot (via nc) like Goflex does...(kernel output works fine)

Settings are:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ipaddr=10.10.10.7
ncip=10.10.10.5
ncipk=10.10.10.4
serverip=10.10.10.3
preboot=run nc_test nc_start
nc_test=ping $ncip
nc_start=setenv stdin nc; setenv stdout nc; setenv stderr nc; version
usb_custom_params=ignore_loglevel netconsole=6665@10.10.10.3/eth0,6666@10.10.10.4/')

listening using:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666')

Any ideas?

[moonman]

Did you assign your workstation an IP of 10.10.10.5. Setup can be a bit flaky. Reset your switch and make sure you are connected to the same switch with the pogoplug.

[morph027]

Sure, i did

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.5
')

Connected to the same switch...the Goflex even is attached to a switch behind my workstations switch and it works...weird thing...

[suyanlu]

I think my goflexhome bricked..omg...., pls help me.
after upgrade kernel and u-boot, orange led blinked, but net console cannot see any output...

what I can do now to save my goflex home ?

upgrade process as this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
┌─[✗]─[root@goflexhome]─[/tmp]
└──> ./install_uboot_mtd0.sh --no-uboot-check

Try creating a bootable USB stick and boot from it. Use ext2 fs
