Hoping to run Debian on a PogoPlug pro
I can no longer access my Pogo via SSH and I’m guessing it may be due to using a cheap USB drive.
Followed Qii Hong’s guide here: http://blog.qnology.com/2015/04/hacking-pogoplug-v3oxnas-proclassic.html
• I had to look around the web, archives, doozan forum, etc for all of the required files.
• I realize this will put me on an old version of debian, but I figured I could upgrade uBoot and Debian later, for now I needed more step by step instructions
Installed rootfs from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/shk6b7klgyuu48p/Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
Installed uBoot from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/17vrdq07thcx9hj/uboot.2013.10-tld-4.ox820.bodhi.tar
Initially I started working through the guide connected via SSH over the PogoPro’s wifi, after I started getting errors trying to do fw_setenv steps related to the ethaddr steps. I was able to do those successfully after connecting the PogoPro to my router via ethernet.
Everything seemed to go as expected otherwise. The only odd part was that I was not able to get the USB to show up in a list using df -h and in order to format it I had to use the command fdisk -l to see that my usb was located at dev/sdc so I proceeded to use sdc(1) instead of sda(1) in the formatting steps.
Here is the output of my fw_printenv.txt file:
bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5
baudrate=115200
ethaddr=00:25:31:00:f7:fd
fdt_file=/boot/dts/ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb
dt_load_dtb=ext2load usb 0:1 $dtb_addr $fdt_file
I also entered all the commands to configure netconsole, but am not sure how to make the actual connection to get the boot log info.
The PogoPro starts up, gets a solid green light, and appears to be getting an IP address, but that’s all I can do for now. I do have a serial device but would like to take advantage of netconsole since it’s there, or figure out how (if it is the USB drive at fault) I can clone or format another usb to test that as the problem. I do have a Raspberry Pi running debian, so could I just use the formatting and debian install steps with a USB device connected to the Pi?
Thanks for any points in the right direction.
