Thanks!

I'm confused; there are E02 builds here: http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … -pogo_e02/

How would it be different if you built your own?

I think you have to distinguish between the different installation methods.
What I'm trying to do: Boot OpenWRT from SD or USB drive. For that you'd need the rootfs.tar.gz + uImage. I can't find any of that in your above link.

However, I'm new to the Pogoplug and compiling images is not my strong side, thus some help of more experienced users is highly appreciated.

Edit: I think the above link only provides uboot, no firmware image (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Sorry, this is a bit OT.

Can we use this device like a Raspberry Pi? What I tried to say is if it is possible to do all the Rpi hardware projects using this device. After all, this device also has a USB port.

No, it definitely does not have the same connectivity. Not the same generation of ARM instructions either.

Sorry, I'm in the middle of a move and everything is packed up.

The Pogoplug Mobile can definitely be used versus a Pi in many cases, but it depends on what specifically. Both system runs Arch Linux Arm for instance, so any ArchLinuxArm Pi tutorial would be applicable.

No hurry, whenever you get a chance. Good luck!

I guess if the project involves with USB and/or net, then it is doable with any PogoPlug Mobile device. If the project involves with GPIO, perhaps this is a different story unless a PogoPlug Mobile also has some built-in GPIO ports.

Pretty much that - GPIO and HDMI. The Pogoplug wins out on the ethernet side since it comes with gigabit ethernet making it a much more viable NAS (or anything that is high network I/O).

Exactly. For under US $10, this is a steal to turn it into a NAS + an IP PBX System + etc.

Another +20% in price??? I'm seeing 11.99$..

It was great at 7.50$

Maybe too many people buying it now in a rush.
Now that we know that the price can go that deep: Wait until the next occasion.

I got my 2 pieces...

Thanks, added it.

Has this been pushed to the latest trunk?

I don't think there is anything to "push". You just need to build the firmware yourself and use Kirkwood->Pogoplug E02 as the targeted system.

What we are waiting for is for the OpenWRT developers/maintainers to include the "Kirkwoork->Pogoplug E02" target into the nightly build and/or include it in Barrier Breaker RC4/Final. Currently only "Kirkwood->Generic" is included, which doesn't work on the Mobile/Series4.

Just for completeness, here's the ticket: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/17610

Exciting news!

I just picked one of these baby up from Amazon.

Can't wait till this is fully supported.

Thanks!

Yes and I see the Pogoplug E02 option under Kirkwood platform. So, if I build the Pogoplug E02, the image will work with a PogoPlug Mobile, right?

Im trying to build this using trunk, anyone who succesfully build this for the Pogo mobile/v4 please share what packages were needed besides default and how i can create an image that can de loaded on a USB/SD for booting (assuming you have uboot installed )

for me it gets stuck on:

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

(Last edited by yoyellow on 14 Sep 2014, 10:58)

Got it working but i kinda cheated on this one

first build an image as described above, and then simply dumped the debian linux on the usbstick (replace /boot basically)

its not pretty and im sure i will find some downsides to this but for now it works...

(Last edited by yoyellow on 14 Sep 2014, 13:12)

Just remember, debian uses a Linux kernel naming scheme as uImage and OpenWRT uses openwrt-<platform>-uImage. If your device is flashed with a Jeff Doozan u-boot, it will expect a debian naming scheme. As such, you will either need to rename the OpenWRT Linux kernel or make the necessary changes to the u-boot environment settings so that it will recognize OpenWRT Linux kernel naming scheme. The later is a one-time job if you want to definitely use OpenWRT Linux kernel.

I too have been confronting this issue. I do have a build of r42153 that loads over tftp and boots to serial console. The boot image appears to have the Pogo E02 device tree appended to it. Serial and USB appear functional, LEDs and SD socket are not. Buttons and sATA are untested.
I'll build a recent trunk and see how that goes.
<edit>
Success!
Built r42514 with generic Kirkwood config with these changes:

-CONFIG_TARGET_kirkwood_Generic=y
+# CONFIG_TARGET_kirkwood_Generic is not set
-# CONFIG_TARGET_kirkwood_POGOE02 is not set
+CONFIG_TARGET_kirkwood_POGOE02=y
-# CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is not set
+CONFIG_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y
+CONFIG_TARGET_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE=y

and

-CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-hwmon-lm75=m
+# CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-hwmon-lm75 is not set

to work around the build error. Use bin/kirkwood/openwrt-kirkwood-pogoe02-uImage-initramfs

(Last edited by beata on 15 Sep 2014, 01:33)

Thank you for this information, i will look into this.

So far what i have found is there is the openwrt-<platform>-uImage and also a alias/symlink to this file called uImage

meaning either files should be found, thou untested so i will take a closer look.

renaming the uImage and zImage doesnt seem to be enough, its Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. again.

thou from the openwrt buil di only get uImage and zImage, nothing vmlinuz or a .img file, am i missing things..?

refering to:

usb_load_uimage=ext2load usb $device 0x800000 /boot/uImage
usb_load_uinitrd=ext2load usb $device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd < that file is not in /boot in openwrt or anywhere else, i assume this is why the boot process hangs..

Quick'n'dirty:
Build with pogoE02 and initramfs.
Put an *ext3* fs onto USB media. (mkfs.ext3 /dev/whatever - I had trouble with 'unsupported features' causing a kernel panic, with a filesystem made by mke2fs.)
Mount it somewhere.
extract openwrt-kirkwood-pogoe02-rootfs.tar.gz to it.
(mkdir /somewhere/boot)
(cp openwrt-kirkwood-pogoe02-uImage /somewhere/boot/uImage)
Unmount, unplug. Boot.
