Pogoplug Series 4 - Installation instructions incorrect

Postby Maarten682 » Fri Mar 11, 2016 3:29 pm

Hey guys,

Just installed my Pogoplug v4 using the instructions here;
https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... g-series-4
however there's quite a few mistakes on the page. How/where do i send some suggested changes for that so they can get corrected?

Here would not hurt. It is possible that the firmware has been updated by the manufacturer a few times since those instructions were made.

Well there's a couple really strange things in the instructions..
https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... g-series-4
First of all at step 9 you are supposed to download the image file to /tmp which is the pogoplugs own storage and now matter how hard i try i cannot get 250mb file on the 128mb of flash the device has. Simply downloading the image to the attached storage instead will fix that easy. Also, using bdstar gives me some odd messages whereas regular tar works fine. And last but not least that script thats supposed to install the uboot didnt work for me either, ill have to dig what messages it gave me again (it was some https error) but if i recall correctly the script refuses to fetch the uboot.bin.gz file, however if you do this manually it works just fine.
