3 Procedure
3.1 Grabbing the serial port
First you need to connecto to the serial port. For this purpose you use an Arduino style level shifter with 3,3V which you connect to the pins 6, 4, 2:
Now do the following steps:
- Connect the Freeagent to your DHCP router, but don't connect it to the internet! The Freeagent shall receive an IP address, but it shall not be able to phone home!
- Start your terminal client (Linux: minicom), and don't forget to disable Hardware Flow Control in minicom!!
So when you now boot up the device, you'll get the following output in the terminal:
So my Freeagent has received the IP 192.168.178.24
3.2 Logging in through the network
You may also find out its address if you look at the router GUI or if you use
So when you know the IP, you can now log into the Freeagent using
If you have plugged in a USB stick, you may see it with mount:
sda1 is a hard drive. 'cd' into it and back up the NAND:
3.3 Resume control
Smooze 1 5 4 – rediscover your mouse setting. Now we want to resume control and make sure that the Pogoplug software won't call home.
Disable the pogoplug code to come up again when the system starts up the next time:
Now go to the line that says
and disable it by writing a '#' in front.
Now you can reboot with
3.4 Prepare the installation
The method with Jeff Doozan's script did not work for me because the repository seemed corrupted. The steps were taken from there: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/DockstarDebianSqueeze#Debian_installieren Transfer files from windows to ios.
So I tried the TFTP method: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash#Run_the_Debian_Installer
First you need to install atftpd: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html
Note that the default tftp-directory is /srv/tftp
Then follow the advice given there: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash#Fetch_the_bitsand get the following files:
3.4.1 U-Boot Images
DENX U-Boot is recommended over the old, buggy Marvell version. Instructions re. upgrading are below.
3.4.2 Debian Installer
The latest installer images should be available at:
however, if the automated build fails, the above may not exist; in which case look for the last successful build in
For example, if at the time of writing (2011-06-02) the current build was missing, the last successful image could be:
The above are the daily images, used for testing; if you prefer, you can find the latest stable images here:
You want both the uImage and uInitrd files. Into the TFTP directory they go.
3.4.3 Kernel
http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/ - what more is there to say? Oh, except that you probably want the latest, and you definitely want the sheeva-2.6.XX-uImage and sheeva-2.6.XX-Modules.tar.gz files. The config file might be good too, if you want to see what kernel config you're running with. Put 'em all in the TFTP directory.
3.5 Updating U-Boot
Follow the instructions given here: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/uboot-upgrade.html
Dockstar 4 0 4
In order to do this, you need to get the TFTP server working on your desktop machine. Then get the u-boot image from: http://people.debian.org/~tbm/u-boot/2011.03-6/dockstar/u-boot.kwb
Then in the serial console enter these commands:
then reboot with
AND DO NOT UNPLUG POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!
The bootup should look line this:
3.6 Do the installation
You need to do these steps over the serial console:
This gets the installer and starts it with a reboot. Then go through all the steps as guided.
- Note the installation will take A VERY LONG TIME!!!
- Note, the installation will require some interaction!
3.6.1 Important Hints
When prompted, set the following:
- Partitioning: Use the entire disk (default setting). This will make it easier to write the image to the NAND, if you wish so. Yet, it will be hard, especially if your image is very big.
3.7 Burn the kernel image
Now a kernel is missing. First check the environment because the variables, especially the mtd partitioning is highly important now. This is how it should be! (works for me)
Stronghold 2 crack 1.3.1 gamecopyworld. The command mtdparts says this:
Please note that the uImage partition should have this name and it should be 4M in size. This is important in order to make the booting possible! If the u-boot comes up with weird errors, check the partitioning! I hit the scenario when the uBoot would forget the kernel I burned before or tell me that it didn't have the correct CRC number.
Now it's necessary to provide the kernel in the tftp directory and load it via tftp:
Here's my command:
flatten everything at 0x100000!
read from 0x2000000, write 0x400000 bytes to the address 0x100000
Dockstar 4 0 3
That should be it.
Now you also need the modules, but not during the kernel boot process, but later when the system starts. As soon as you can log into your Freeagent installation, copy them over to the Freeagent and unpack them to /lib/modules:
- Note: If you chose the most recent kernel that comes with the most recent installer, this step is not necessary, because the most recent kernel's modules come with the installer.
- Note: The kernel may be updated from within the running system when you install the initramfs-tools
Please note that the memory sections in my example differ from that of other instructions you find around the web. I got a memory error and some weird system behaviour with these examples. So I decided to use some other memory segment at around 0x2000000. There's enough memory around, the NAND has 256MB. Since I don't intend to squeeze the rootfs into RAM first of all, there's plenty of space.
3.8 Write the image to the FLASH
My image is 622 MB, so it won't fit into the NAND.
If you manage to shrink the image to below 256M (which is the NAND size), you will be successful!
Follow the instructions here: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash#Convert_internal_flash_root_partition_to_UBIFS
3.9 Configure Debian
This comes from here: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/DockstarDebianSqueeze
You surely want wo install the following tools:
- apt-get install ntpdate
- Set the system time:
- apt-get install busybox-syslogd
- apt-get install usbmount
- apt-get install cron
- Add a few lines to crontab:
- WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL usbmount! It will mount the USB memory stick before the fsck and this will break your boot process, requiring manual interaction. Without a serial console, you're locked out!
Smooze 1 5 4 – rediscover your mouse setting. Now we want to resume control and make sure that the Pogoplug software won't call home.
Disable the pogoplug code to come up again when the system starts up the next time:
Now go to the line that says
and disable it by writing a '#' in front.
Now you can reboot with

- These instructions will void your warranty. While every precaution is taken to ensure nothing bad happens, all actions are at your own risk.
- My.pogoplug.com, the mobile applications, and the desktop Pogoplug connector will no longer work.
Dockstar 4 0 2
- With the device on and online, attempt to SSH to the IP the device received through DHCP. If you are unable to SSH, register and enable SSH through my.pogoplug.com. The default login (unless changed through my.pogoplug.com) is root/stxadmin.
- Stop the Pogoplug software so it doesn't interfere with the install process:
- Start fdisk to partition the USB drive:
- At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:
- Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive.
- Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.
- Now type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, and then press ENTER, accepting default values.
- Exit by typing w.
- Create the ext3 filesystem:
- Download and install Arch Linux ARM:
- Download the U-Boot installer
- Run the installer to download and flash U-Boot:
- If successful, reboot:
- The DockStar will now reboot into Arch Linux ARM.
- Login as the default user alarm with the password alarm.
- The default root password is root.
- Initialize the pacman keyring and populate the Arch Linux ARM package signing keys:
