TonidoPlug2

[devr]

Looks like a new plug is coming.. Actually available to UK and EU folks.

Here is the Blog posting.

And there rather technically sparse product page.

To me it looks like a vendor is finally selling the Marvel Plug Computer 3.0 that was announced earlier this year.

I am psyched, thought i'd share.

[pennguin]

Any news about that? Have anyone found some details about insides such as cpu? Is support from archlinuxARM planned?

[WarheadsSE]

Somewhere in the forums, I had a discussion with a fellow that had a TonidoPlug 2... I just can't find it.

[devr]

Got my TonidoPlug2 this weekend. Figured I kick the tires of the Tonido software... initially I am not overly impressed. Still playing with the hardware, but figured I'd post that the http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM ... est.tar.gz does not work on this hardware. Just causes the status led to blink red.

The plug does have access to a 4 pin serial, I just have to make the wire. Once I do that, I can probably report on where it is barfing on boot up.

Until then here is some info, if curious:

It likely needs some machine init code in the kernel if it's not booting the v5 kernel. Could you give us a print on the uboot environment variables?

[devr]

Assuming that you wanted me to run "fw_printenv" to give you the uboot variables. Well to do that, I have to have a proper "/etc/fw_env.config". No idea what that should be, but I took a stab at some numbers for that config (after searching around).

I also did a "nanddump /dev/mtd1" and from that garbled mess, think I got all the uBoot envs. Is that what you needed ?

[kmihelich]

Looking at the uboot vars.. off the top of my head I see that you'll need to set mainlineLinux=yes, and set an arcNumber to something like 2097, which would give you sheeva machine init. The rest looks mostly standard, with loading /boot/uImage from ext2, and some special stuff probably for the specific kernel they're using. But the mainline and arcnumber are two you'll need to get into Arch.

You'll also want to get serial so you can change uboot variables that way in case things go badly. I wouldn't try this without serial.

[devr]

Ok, made my serial cable and set the variables:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Marvell>> setenv mainlineLinux yes
Marvell>> setenv arcNumber 2097
')

So then my uBoot env variables look like:

will do some more digging....

[devr]

I am guessing there is something off with the lines:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
setenv bootargs_sata 'root=/dev/sda1 rw rootdelay=10'
setenv bootcmd_sata 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(bootargs_sata); ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; bootm 0x800000'
')

Maybe the offset (0x800000), but I am grasping at straws... I really messed up the uboot, and had to re-enter all 60 env parameters to boot again.. but back to square one and able to boot off the nand...

So to will see if anyone has any ideas, before playing in uBoot again. I am just glad I saved a copy of the original values.
