A new kernel for oxnas

[celemine1gig]

And the same for the Pogo V3 Pro:

http://www.hs-augsburg.de/~ingmar_k/Pog ... ty.tar.bz2

Same warning again: Only use if you know what you are doing. Not tested, yet. Will have time for my own testing in about a week or so, probably.

[celemine1gig]

And the SATA U-Boot compiled with my ARMv6 compiler:
http://www.hs-augsburg.de/~ingmar_k/Pog ... 92.tar.bz2

Will upload a u-Boot version for NAND (with the appropriate environment) in the matter of the next few weeks.
For instructions how to use it just read the Wiki on kref's github page and/or have a look at WarheadsSE's script to update u-Boot. All needed info is included there and/or in this thread.

It is in the plans to attempt to re-package and re-support the device.

I just have to manage time.

thats great news ...thx

I followed celemine1gig posts and downloaded the relevant files:
- kernel for the Pogo Pro
- uboot
Followed the wiki from kref (https://github.com/kref/u-boot-oxnas/wi ... t-for-sata) to create a sata disk:
1. created 2 partitions on the disk: 15 MB FAT32, rest of the disk as ext4
2. copied u-boot.img into the fat32 partition
3. modified WarheadsSE's oxnas_sata_boot.tgz, removed everything but stage1.wrapped which i converted to u-boot-spl.bin and ran it
4. created a root filesystem with armv5te as suggested by WareheadSE
5. placed the kernel in the root filesystem in the / and in the /boot directory (overwriting the one there)
6. tried to boot with no success

I see an MAC address from the pogo on my rooter, but it is not the same as pogo's own address. Front led on the pogo stays off all the time, it never asks for an IP address, also all log files on the sata hdd are empty.

I am definitively missing something, but do not know what....

(i have no serial cable to connect to the pogo now, so I do not see if it is doing anything)

What you are missing is u-boot.env. The default u-boot.env turns on netconsole

Thanks for the detailed reply DKAsokan!

When I connect to my pogo on the netconsole, the only output I got is "2" and nothing more. When try to setup the u-boot.env and type all the lines you provided (or whatever) nothing is saved on the FAT32 partition....

Could it be that the FAT partition have to be a FAT16 partition?

How I got it working:

1) Partitioned the sata disk layout using gparted
1st partition 16MB FAT16 starting at 2048
2nd partition 80GB EXT4

2) mount the new sata partitions and then copy u-boot.env and u-boot.img to 1st partition
using the link of DKAsokan's post (u-boot.env)
download: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ndi2ei ... ogoplugpro
& u-boot.img
download:

3) and extract the latest rootfs to the 2nd partition
download: http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM ... est.tar.gz

4) extract linux-oxnas arm package to rootfs (overwrite)
download: http://eu.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/c ... pkg.tar.xz

5) install stage1 (u-boot-spl.bin) to sata disk
i prepared the sata script, just edit the install destination) and run it
https://mega.co.nz/#!ZVtXTSSB!Je8rUX_Pm ... n_OwaRjbFo

6) unmount and sync the sata disk


Hope this helps someone.

-> How would it be possible NOW to upgrade via pacman to get alarm up to date ?
