How to install Pogoplug software on V2 Plug

[WarheadsSE]

I use a copy of the hbmgrinit, in rc.d/ as pogoplug with it edited a bit to use modprobe instead of insmod. I also move xce.ko in with the kernel module tree & depmod -a.

WARNING
At least on the Pro's, a recent update seems to be causing the software to write to NAND, nuking the kernel. On Non-OXNAS this should not be an issue. Looks like there is an update to XCE.

/edit:
Confirmed $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Cloud Engines XCE Exit [Version: 2.5.9.1]')

I am testing a version with reset call removed and some gpios removed. I kept other gpios for led functionality because I can only get orange led with the new uBoot. I'll see how it goes, if everything works ok, then I'll post it here.

Moonman, you are "the man". If you need a beta-tester, please drop me a message . Thanks Moonman.

I can't figure it out, It still reboots every hour or so. I'll try more things when I have time. I don't know much about arm programming, learning as I go.

I made a copy of xce.ko and renamed it to dumbo.ko and I modified hbplug_init (symbolically linked to /etc/rc.d/pogoplug) to load dumbo.ko instead of xce.ko. I was hoping that this would trick the software not to overwrite xce.ko to the old version but somehow after an hour or so, dumbo.ko got overwritten as well. After that I ran modinfo on dumbo.ko, it shows that it is actually the old version of xce.ko.

Moonman,

What is happening is that something in the update(r|d) scripts from CE is checking the XCE module. We cannot see rule out a function missing until we get new sources. For now, it's pointless.

WarheadsSE, yes it does update it, but you somehow went around that and yours doesn't reboot, right? I did place xce.ko in a different folder and modified the script so my xce.ko gets loaded after reboot and doesn't get replaced, but it is still annoying that it reboots. What exactly did you remove in xce_dev.c to stop reboots?

[WarheadsSE]

The reboots I am seeing are executed by the update(r|d) scripts, not the module.

Dang, I should get a serial I guess to test this stuff. I'll try to get get a hostname where it gets the updates.
