[davinik]

Hello Everybody,
I've a nwsp1 device with original firmware and I would like to try your customized one but I cannot find where I can download the 10-1 version.

Can you help me finding it?
Thanks
Nicola

Thanks,

I've tried with that but it seems it is not working, the UIMAGE-26394-NWSP1-5 seems doesn't load correctly on partition 6.

I've read on the forum that you have to install first the 10-1 version so I've thought it was the problem

If you confirm that it has to work with 15-1 I'll try again.

Of course 15.1 first install should work.
What exactly went wrong with writing kernel to sda6?

Hi

Why you did not follow the instructions from this topic :https://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3059
So you can install manually version 15.3 (step 2)

@Jocko, thats an upgrade, he needs a first install package. The last available first install is 15.1 for nwsp1

[Jocko]

Indeed, version 15.3 can not be used directly

Hi everybody, thanks for the feedbacks
I've downloaded the 15.1 version and it didn't work, then I look in the forum and I've found this thread:
https://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1852
So I thougt i need the 10.1 first, then I look better in the pdf how to and the name is: howto-fvdw-sl-10-1-on-lacie-nwsp-vs1
So I definetely thought I need 10.1 first.

When I dd the image the partition is not readable, it says wrong fs system and if I put the hd inside the network space it doesn't boot.

The dd command should be used to write a file to the partition it will not mention if it is readable. probable you mixed up the "if=" option (input file) and "of=" (output).
In this case the command to be used should be
(replace path-to uImage by real path to location where you stored the kernel uimage
)

Code: Select all

dd if=/path-to-uImage/UIMAGE-26394-NWSP1-5 of=/dev/sdb6

After writing the partition 6 can not mounted as it doesn't contain file system but only a kernel image to be read by the bootloader of the nwsp1

About needing 10-1. No you don't
Yes the how-to document titlwe conatin 10-1 but when you open it you can read in the header that you can use it for version 10-1 or higher, so use the 15-1 firmware image included in the package instead and you are good to go.
In point (l) of the manual it is saying you need to use the fvdw-sl-nn-m-nwsp1-ddmmyyyy.img firmware image, so use the one included in the package (xfvdw-sl-15-1-nwsp1-9feb2014.img).

Code: Select all

dd if=/path-to-firmware/xfvdw-sl-15-1-nwsp1-9feb2014.img of=/dev/sdb1

same for sdb2 and sdb7

I agree it is a little confusing if you only read the how to title
