Latest U-Boot for Seagate GoFlex Home

[balanga]

Where can I find the latest U-Boot for a Seagate GoFlex Home Unit?

You can install it with pacman from the repositories.

I'm booting from a Debian USB stick so pacman is not available.

[moonman]

You can extract it from the package then
http://ca.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/ar ... pkg.tar.xz

Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure how to install it....

[moonman]

Well, you have 2 options:
1. Boot archlinux arm from a usb and then install the package
2. Check the install script in the package which is also available here https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... me.install
It is just a bash script. If you will be doing it manually, make sure you set ethaddr to the mac address of your device after flashing or you will boot up without network interface

Thanks for the help.

This is how I understand what I need to do...

Boot from USB (using existing Debian uboot)
ssh into GFH

wget https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... me.install
uboot-goflexhome.install

reboot

Does that sound right?

I tried:-

wget https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... me.install

but got:

ERROR: The certificate of 'github.com' is not truted.
ERROR: The certificate of 'github.com' hasn't got a known issuer.

I managed to get this onto my USB stick when it booted up, but even though I set it to executable I couldn't get it to run...

Any clues?
