2big NAS

[panda88]

But at least you can re-assemble your nas.

Haha :-D ok, done!

hi

can you connect with u-boot console and at u-boot prompt give command and post output

Code: Select all

printenv arcNumber

this in trying to identy which machine id is used by u-boot, that will help me to find/make a kernel setup file for this board
The kernel has support for 6282 cpu but it need a specific setup file to make it work.

ok that doesn't help much , lets see what this kernel does . I is a standalone kernel based on linux 4.2.3, using device tree.
Standalone means it will run from ram without need to have anything on disc.
It seems the device tree supports this nas using name nas2big. If this works we have a start point to make a kernel for running the firmware

Load this kernel using the fvdw-sl console and using action load and start standalone kernel. Bfore doing that unpack the kernel in the zip archive and put it in the the tftp folder of the fvdw-sl console
When using the option load and start standalone kernel it will ask you to select a kernel, select this kernel.

If this kernel runs then you should be able to connect with the telnet client that will pop up

$matches[2]

It that works we have a start point to make a kernel to run the firmware

I edited above post and changed the attachment

Thanks. I hope to try it tonight. But what’s the password of root user?
In case it should work, may I have to try other Unix commands to help you? I’m very familiar with it

Thanks

[fvdw]

the password is : giveit2me

a good command would be

Code: Select all

dmesg

and the related output, this to see if kernel is loaded without errors and what is exactly loaded as drivers

[fvdw]

Any news?

[panda88]

WOWOWO we have good news.

First of all, sorry for the delay: i was on holiday in the middle of nowhere, so not just without my broken nas but also far from internet connections. There were meters of snow... so i couldnt advise you all about that...

I went back home just today and... after your standalone kernel i had been able to connect via telnet.
Anyway, the upload took like a minute or more so the telnet client didnt start at the beginning because its delay its around 15 sec more or less.
After tftp upload so i manually connect via telnet and here we are:

waitin for your considerations ;) and many thanks again

:vhcool nice, at least the kernel runs.
Uploading should not take a minute but max 5 seconds...that must be something in your lan setup. Looking to kernel size that means a speed of only 100 kB/s.

Anyhow it is a good start, next step will be to compile a firmware kernel based on 4.2.3 and see if we can run the firmware.
If that works port this device tree setup to kernel 4.6.6 The one we use in the firmware today as I don't like to have different kernels to support. And 4.2.3 has some kernel bugs making it unreliable for normal use. I will come back to you as soon as I have compiled a 4.2.3 firmware kernel for this device.

What you could do in the mean time is put disks in load the standalone kernel and see in dmesg output if the sata links come up and disks are recognized. Seems in the above output that you have run the nas without disks inside
