Also read this https://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2645 to avoid problems in communication between fvdw-sl console and your nas.
After installing the fvdw-sl console on your PC you can use it to install the fvdw-sl firmware and adapt the bootloader.
1. As first step you should install fvdw-sl firmware using fvdw-sl console
Switch off you seagate personal cloud but leave it connected to your LAN. Use a wired connection between your PC and LAN and disable If you have more then 1 ethernet adapter in your PC, all adapters except the one wired to your LAN
Start fvdw-sl console and select as action install firmware follow the help instructions in the main menu of the fvdw-sl console and select this kernel UIMAGE-466-SGARMADA370-SRN21C-STANDALONE-2 as standalone kernel.
Now start your nas after the window appears waiting for uboot.
Boot will be interupted by the console, and upload and start the standalone kernel and start an telnet client that enables you to connect to your nas. Follow the instructions in the main window to install the firmware.
When installation has succesfully finished you still cannot use the firmware as the bootloader must be adapted.
So in the telnet window give command to poweroff your nas
- Code: Select all
poweroff -f
Proceed with step 2 adapting the bootloader
2. As second step adapt bootcmd of the boot loader U-boot
Your seagate personal cloud is switched off but connected to your LAN. Use a wired connection between your PC and LAN and disable if you have more then 1 ethernet adapter in your PC, all adapters except the one wired to your LAN
Start fvdw-sl console and select as action u-boot console and start your nas after the window appears waiting for uboot.
The boot will be interupted and you have to click on the uboot console window to activate it and get marvell>> prompt
At the marvel>> prompt set the bootcmd
- Code: Select all
setenv bootcmd 'disk 0x2000000 0:6 ; setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ; bootm 0x2000000;'
saveenv
You can now reboot from uboot using command reset
- Code: Select all
reset
And if you installed the firmware correctly in step 1 then the firmware should load and fvdw-sl web interface becomes accessible
