I began my journey looking for an inexpensive device to use as a DDNS client. I stumbled on Qui's blog and it sounded like an easy way to go. I bought a Pogoplug Mobile (POGO-V4-A1-01) and away I went.
Things did not start well. After finding out the Qui's files were no longer available, I ended up installing Arch on a USB stick from the Arch site and it sort of worked, but the cheap, trade show USB stick I used had issues. After many failed efforts, my Plug no longer boots and I know that my environment variables are majorly hosed.
I currently have access to my Plug through a soldered cable. It has U-Boot v 2016.05-tld-1 for Pogoplug V4 installed, but will not boot from either my new USB stick (SanDisk 16GB) or my SD Card (SanDisk 16 GB), most likely due in a large part to the environment variables. I have a Raspberry Pi running Arch that I can use to play with my USB stick and SD Card.
Ultimately, I still want to use my Plug as a DDNS client and have it booting from the SD Card. I do have to stay with Arch and will go to Debian or whatever I can get working. I think OpenWrt might suit my needs, but I did not find a lot of information beyond another Qui blog on using it on the version of Plug that I have. Rather than try to troubleshoot the mess I created, I think it may be easier to start over - if some kind soul could point me to some instructions to follow.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?
Many thanks in advance!
