NSA325 almost there? (1 reply)

Hi,

I have an NSA325 and would like to run Debian on it.

I followed your tutorial: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 make progress but not quite there yet:

Serial connection
I needed to switch tx and rx and ha to move my cables away from electrical interferences. The serial works great now.

uBoot
I was unable to kwboot the 2016 uboot to the nas. Executing ' run to_stock' via serial helped.
I'm now on uBoot 2012 version 1.1.4

I can kwboot the 2016 and 2017 versions. But after reboot I'm back on 2012 version.
Als step 4. Create uImage with embedded DTB did not work for me.

Debian
I once did have debian start from the usb stick. I could login and apt-get update, but after reboot it was gone and I was back on uBoot 2012. Sometimes with prompt NSA325 and sometimes in BusyBox 1.17.2.

History of the nasA
After stock I hav also used ffp and entware-ng.
When I see the bootup (without harddrives) over serial of uBoot 2012, Marvell, there is mention of directories I used to have on the nas. But since then both drives have been formatted.


I quess there might be something with the env settings, but I don't have a clue where to start.


Here is printenv after kwboot of uboot 2017 and any help is appreciated.
