Hello Bodhi and friends!
I still have this Netgear Stora with a corrupt environment partition. I did discover that it is able to load files from an ext3 formatted drive with ext2load command, and list file contents with ext2ls command.
I appear to be on original/stock uboot. I have been successful in loading the new uboot image to address 0x800000 . My question is: do you suppose there is a way to chainload that kernel in such a way that I coud boot from a rootfs USB drive? I have created the drive, along with the uEnv file, and copied the new uboot image and environment images to the root of the drive. Nand erase and nand write commands appear to function properly, but I am hesitant to test that aspect too much. I believe the stock Pogoplug OS is hosed also, but I don't recall - it's just been too long since I last worked on it.
Also, kwboot doesn't work on this model - bootrom is too old. Also, unfortunately, there aren't any jtag connectors onboard. Not even an unpopulated header. There is simply no jtag functionality available. Just a 4-pin header for the serial port with Ground, rx, tx and v+ . (Yes, I keep v+ unplugged when interfacing with it).
Anything else I can try?
