I have a Pogo E02 that has been out of service for a few years and want to update it and configure it as a NAS. It has an old u boot:
and is currently running Bodhi's 4.4.0 file system. I'm thinking I should update the u boot before updating to the latest Debian fs. Recognizing that there is some risk in messing with u boot, does the reward of the latest u boot offset the risk? I've done this before on multiple Pogo's so I'm comfortable with the process. Also, I can crack it open and connect serial if really needed.
If I update the u boot first, can I boot it with the current 4.4.0 file system prior to updating the file system? I'm pretty sure this file system is built with the dtb embedded in zimage (or wherever it is supposed to go). Or do I need to generate the kernel on another box prior to booting? Or, update the file system first, then the u boot?
Thanks.
U-Boot 2011.12 (Feb 20 2012 - 21:21:59) BTW, is this the orignal Pogo u boot. or perhaps Jeff's first Kirkwood u boot?
