Uboot for GuruPlug

2011-02-25T03:23:25Z

Ppmt: added how to read usb partition

= GuruPlug, GuruPlug Server Plus =

Here's how to allow your GuruPlug to boot from a USB drive. 
You'll need an access to the serial console to achieve this, the JTAG module is OK.

* To connect to the bootloader, proceed exactly like for the [[Marvell Plug Computer|Sheevaplug]]
* Reset the GuruPlug.
* At the terminal, press enter a couple of seconds after boot to prevent it from booting using the onboard flash (Ubuntu). You should end up with a prompt.
* Some version of the GuruPlug have been shipped with a uboot that does not support Booting from USB, ESATA or SD-Card. If this is your case, then you have to upgrade uboot. To do this, the best howto I found is this : http://oinkzwurgl.org/guruplug_uboot

* There are some commands you need to run to make it permanently boot from the USB port ('''NOTE:''' this step is only necessary once):
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv x_bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sdc1 rootdelay=10'
setenv x_bootcmd_kernel 'ext2load usb 1:1 0x6400000 /boot/uImage'
saveenv

To determine 1:1 in the command above

usb start
usb part
## Unknown partition table
## Unknown partition table
Partition Map for USB device 2 -- Partition Type: DOS
Partition Start Sector Num Sectors Type
1 63 14586957 b
2 14587020 1060290 82

here you have device 2 and you want to boot Partition 1 so use 2:1 (as opposed to 1:1 in the command above).

While still under the bootloader , check your environment with ''printenv''.
It must look like this:

GuruPlug>> printenv
bootcmd=${x_bootcmd_usb}; ${x_bootcmd_kernel}; setenv bootargs ${x_bootargs} ${x_bootargs_root}; bootm 0x6400000;
bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
x_bootcmd_usb=usb start
ethact=egiga0
x_bootcmd_kernel=ext2load usb 1:1 0x6400000 /boot/uImage
arcNumber=2653
mainlineLinux=yes
x_bootargs_root=root=/dev/sdc1 rootwait
x_bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial

[http://www.wuala.com Wuala] is an application developed by Lacie. It is a solution to offer some online storage in the "cloud"

It allows automatic backup of your data and synchronisation between PCs as well as time keep track or "version" of you file (you can go back in time)

It is a Java application and because of that can more or less run on every computer.

On their website they only have a package for Ubuntu but there is a package for all the other.

To install it you need several packages

For Fedora 12 you will need to install:

java-1.6.0-openjdk-1, java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1, fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils

If you don't need the full system integration you don't need fuse-libs, fuse, xdg-utils but you will loose having a virtual drive of your online data on the desktop

# Installation of dependencies
yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1 fuse-libs fuse xdg-utils

# Download the latest version of wuala
wget <nowiki>http://www.wuala.com/files/wuala.tar.gz</nowiki>

# Untar it as root is /usr/local
cd /usr/local
tar xvfz wuala.tar.gz

This will create a directory wuala.

# Manually start the program (make sure you have an account with them first)
/usr/local/wuala/wuala -basepath /usr/local/wuala login YourUserName YourPassword

if all goes well you have started the program successfully and can test it

/usr/local/wuala --help
/usr/local/wuala/wuala showStatus -> will tell you if you are online
/usr/local/wuala/wuala showSettings -> will show your settings

# Start Wuala as a service

I found a little init.d script that sort of work but it is not perfect. For example I can't seem to make it work with service so that it starts at bootup or show that status is started.

So if someone can fix it it would be great.

Copy the code below in file called wuala in /etc/init.d and make it executable

* Any other device based on the [http://plugcomputer.org Marvell Plug Computer]

= Requirements =

You'll need:
* A storage device, of 2GB or more, that your plug computer can boot from
* The latest Amahi "rootfs" from the [http://dl.amahi.org/marvell/ Amahi4Plug repo] look for the latest file named '''amahi-marvell-*.tar.bz2'''
* [http://dl.amahi.org/marvell/create-amahi-f12-plug-disk.sh This script] to copy the above ''rootfs'' into your storage device. Important: you will have to modify this script to suit your device, as it obliterates the content of it

= Quick Overview =

Because of the headless nature of the Plug devices, there are some more steps than the typical Amahi release to make things work smoothly.

There are three major steps in getting things going

; '''Step 1'''
: Download the latest [http://dl.amahi.org/marvell/ rootfs image] then use the script to extract and put it into an empty USB hard drive, USB flash drive, or SD card (depending on what your device supports). While it does that, you may want to setup a profile for your HDA at [http://www.amahi.org/ Amahi]

; '''Step 2'''
: Boot your device using the drive or card you created in step 1. Find out the IP it got assigned from your existing DHCP server (typically your router).

; '''Step 3'''
: Install Amahi, by loading <code>http://plug_ip:2000</code> and entering the install code you got when you [https://www.amahi.org/user created your Amahi profile].

= Known issues =

For a list of working / not working apps for plug computers, see [[SP Apps|Apps page]]. Also, please check and file any issues in the [http://bugs.amahi.org/projects/show/plug Amahi bug tracker project for the Plug port]

= Detailed Installation Instructions =

Fully detailed procedure.

== Step 1: Prepare your boot device ==

Connect your boot device (USB hard drive, USB flash drive, or SD card) into a working Linux machine (you can use your plug computer!)

If needed, partition your device to create a partition you'll use to boot. No need to format it.

If a swap partition is desired (highly recommended for the PogoPlug & DockStar), create a second partition on your storage device, between 512MB and 2GB (depending on how big your storage device is), and format it as ''Linux Swap''.

Example partitioning depending on your boot device type & size:
{| cellpadding="7"
! 2GB Flash Drive or SD Card
! 8GB Flash Drive or SD Card
! 16GB Flash Drive or SD Card
! USB Hard Drive (40+ GB)
|-
|2GB, unformatted
|512MB, Linux Swap 7.5GB, unformatted
|1GB, Linux Swap 15GB, unformatted
|2GB, Linux Swap The rest, unformatted
|-
|}

Download the Amahi ''rootfs'' file and ''create-clean-f12-disk.sh'' script into your Linux machine. Don't store them on the storage device you want to use on your plug computer. 
Edit the ''create-amahi-f12-plug-disk.sh'' script:
* Change the first line, the one that says '''partition="..."''' to point to the partition you want to use to boot your plug computer. If you're not sure, '''ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/''' and see if you can find it there.
* Change the second line, if needed. It should contain the name of the Amahi ''rootfs'' file you downloaded. Example: '''rootfs="amahi-marvell-0.9.tar.bz2"'''
* Comment (add a # character at the beginning of) the two following lines, the ones that say '''echo "Please edit this script...''' and '''exit 0'''.

Big Warning! Putting the wrong partitions in this script will completely erase those partitions! Be careful what partitions you target!

Run the ''create-amahi-f12-plug-disk.sh'' script:

sh create-amahi-f12-plug-disk.sh

== Step 2: Boot your plug ==

Boot the plug computer with your newly created drive/card attached. Give it a few minutes to boot, and it will be ready for the Amahi installation.

If you need help getting your plug computer to boot from USB or SD, instead of the on-board Flash memory, see our [[Marvell Plug Computer Booting]] page.

== Step 3: Install Amahi ==

Note that for this step to work correctly, your plug computer needs to have access to Internet. Maybe you can just SSH into it, and ping www.amahi.org to make sure it works.

Find the plug computer IP address (check your router DHCP logs or DHCP server), and launch the Amahi installer by visiting http://plug_computer_ip:2000

(Use nmap or ping -b to find new devices on your LAN, if you can't find your plug computer IP address on your DHCP server.)

It will ask for an install code. That code can be obtained by creating an Amahi profile here: https://www.amahi.org/user (you'll need to create an account first, if you don't already have one).

== Enjoy ==

After it reboots, access your HDA by logging in at <code>http://plug_computer_ip</code> 

Username: admin
Password: amahi

The root password is: amahi 
(Change it!)

== Post Install Action ==

If all seems to work, you can now disable your old DHCP server, and let your plug computer act as your new DHCP server. 
You'll need to [[RenewIP|renew the IP address]] of your client computers, once your old DHCP server is disabled. 
You'll then be able to access the Amahi dashboard at http://hda, and your installed apps using http://app_name

If you created a swap partition while partitioning your storage device, you might need to tell Amahi to use that partition for swap space. You'll need to change '''/dev/sda2''' for the real path to your swap partition. SSH into your Amahi server, and execute the following:
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon -a

You will also need to edit the /etc/fstab file to use that new partition at startup

Check that everything is now working with

free

The total on the swap line should not be 0 if all worked out.

Note: On the SheevaPlug, the onboard NAND flash is called /dev/mtdblock2. You might want to use it as a swap partition, as it would be faster than your SD card or USB drive.

= Customize and Extend =

If you need customizations for your device, you can install the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/CrossToolchain ARM cross compilation toolset] to compile things like the kernel, multimedia libraries, etc. etc.

Boot the plug computer with your newly created drive/card attached. Give it a few minutes to boot, and it will be ready for the Amahi installation.

If you need help getting your plug computer to boot from USB or SD, instead of the on-board Flash memory, see our [[Marvell Plug Computer Booting]] page.

== Step 3: Install Amahi ==

Note that for this step to work correctly, your plug computer needs to have access to Internet. Maybe you can just SSH into it, and ping www.amahi.org to make sure it works.

Find the plug computer IP address (check your router DHCP logs or DHCP server), and launch the Amahi installer by visiting http://plug_computer_ip:2000

(Use nmap or ping -b to find new devices on your LAN, if you can't find your plug computer IP address on your DHCP server.)

It will ask for an install code. That code can be obtained by creating an Amahi profile here: https://www.amahi.org/user (you'll need to create an account first, if you don't already have one).

== Enjoy ==

After it reboots, access your HDA by logging in at <code>http://plug_computer_ip</code> 

Username: admin
Password: amahi

The root password is: amahi 
(Change it!)

If all seems to work, you can now disable your old DHCP server, and let your plug computer act as your new DHCP server. 
You'll need to [[RenewIP|renew the IP address]] of your client computers, once your old DHCP server is disabled. 
You'll then be able to access the Amahi dashboard at http://hda, and your installed apps using http://app_name

If you created a swap partition while partitioning your storage device, you might need to tell Amahi to use that partition for swap space. You'll need to change '''/dev/sda2''' for the real path to your swap partition. SSH into your Amahi server, and execute the following:
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon -a

Note: On the SheevaPlug, the onboard NAND flash is called /dev/mtdblock2. You might want to use it as a swap partition, as it would be faster than your SD card or USB drive.

Note: if the command free shows that the swap is not activated (displays 0) you should check the /etc/fstab fiel and make sure that it points to your swap partition. Then either reboot the plug or
swapon /dev/<partition>

= Customize and Extend =

If you need customizations for your device, you can install the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/CrossToolchain ARM cross compilation toolset] to compile things like the kernel, multimedia libraries, etc. etc.
