=== Prepare the Installer and the TFTP server ===
+
=== Install Debian ===
−
This section comes from here: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash#Run_the_Debian_Installer
+
Prerequisites: A USB memory stick
−
 
 
−
Make your workstation into t TFTP server:
 
−
sudo apt-get install atftpd
 
−
 
 
−
Follow the steps given  there:
 
−
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-advanced-tftp-server-in-ubuntu.html
 
−
 
 
−
Let me sum up: By default atftpd server starts using inetd so we need to tell atftpd to run as a server directly, not through inetd.Edit /etc/default/atftpd file using the following command
 
−
 
 
−
sudo nano /etc/default/atftpd
 
−
 
 
−
Change the following line
 
−
 
 
−
USE_INETD=true
 
−
 
 
−
to
 
−
 
 
−
USE_INETD=false
 
−
 
 
−
save and exit the file
 
−
 
 
−
Now you need to run the following command
 
−
 
 
−
sudo invoke-rc.d atftpd start
 
−
 
 
−
Now we must configure the ATFTPD. First you need to create a directory where you can place the files
 
−
 
 
−
sudo mkdir /tftpboot
 
−
sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
 
−
sudo chown -R nobody /tftpboot
 
−
sudo /etc/init.d/atftpd restart
 
−
 
 
−
Some level of security can be gained using atftp libwrap support. Adding proper entry to /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny will restrict access to trusted hosts. Daemon name to use in these files is in.tftpd.
 
−
 
 
−
/etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny
 
−
 
 
−
in.tftpd : FQD or IP
 
−
 
 
−
If you now want to test if it works, you need to install a test client. Advance Trivial file transfer protocol client, atftp is the user interface to the Internet ATFTP (Advanced Trivial File Transfer Protocol), which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. The remote host may be specified on the command line, in which case atftp uses host as the default host for future transfers.
 
−
 
 
−
sudo apt-get install atftp
 
−
 
 
−
That’s it you are ready to transfer your files using tftp clients
 
−
 
 
−
For testing the TFTP server: Tranfering file hda.txt from 192.168.1.100 (Client using tftp) to 192.168.1.2 (Server 192.168.1.100). Get an example file to transfer (eg. hda.txt)
 
−
 
 
−
touch /srv/tftp/hda.txt
 
−
chmod 777 /srv/tftp/hda.txt
 
−
ls -l /srv/tftp/
 
−
 
 
−
should give you:
 
−
 
 
−
ls -l /srv/tftp/
 
−
insgesamt 0
 
−
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2011-12-24 20:23 hda.txt
 
−
 
 
−
Now see if you can get the file:
 
−
 
 
−
atftp 192.168.1.2
 
−
atftp> put hda.txt
 
−
atftp> quit
 
−
ls -l /srv/tftp/
 
−
 
 
−
Create the directory /tftpboot and start the tftp server:
 
−
/etc/init.d/atftpd start
 
−
 
 
−
The TFTP directory on your system will be in:
 
−
 
 
−
/srv/tftp
 
  
−
Then get the files.

I'm using the installer from Jedd Doozan for Debian Squeeze in otder to write the new Debian to the USB stick. So we must prepare it first:
  
−
The latest installer images should be available at:
+
host    $ fdisk /dev/sdx
  
−
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/kirkwood/netboot/marvell/sheevaplug/
+
  Partition 1, primary, Type Linux, min. 280MB, Typical 512MB
  
−
however, if the automated build fails, the above may not exist; in which case look for the last successful build in
+
  Partition 2, primary, Type Swap,  ~100-500MB (the bigger the better for the stick's wear leveling)
  
−
  http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/
+
  host    $ mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdx1
 +
host    $ mkswap /dev/sdx2
  
−
For example, if at the time of writing (2011-06-02) the current build was missing, the last successful image could be:
+
Now make sure that the stick is plugged into the Freeagent. Then execute the script:
  
−
  http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/20110527-16:34/kirkwood/netboot/marvell/sheevaplug/
+
  dockstar $ cd /tmp
 +
dockstar $ wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
 +
dockstar $ chmod +x dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
 +
dockstar $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin
 +
dockstar $ ./dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
  
−
The above are the daily images, used for testing; if you prefer, you can find the latest stable images here:
+
Now be patient. This takes a while. And: DO NOT UNPLUG POWER!!!!
  
−
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armel/current/images/kirkwood/netboot/marvell/sheevaplug/
+
Note: I decided against the TFTP method given here: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash#Run_the_Debian_Installer
  
−
You want both the uImage and uInitrd files. Into the TFTP directory they go.
+
=== Write the image to the FLASH ===
−
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.

Version vom 26. Dezember 2011, 01:58 Uhr

I am using a Seagate Freeagent Dockstar disk station as a fully fledged server at DB0ZM. Here are the pictures.

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: 

 9  7  5  3  1 
10  8  6  4  2
      RX TX GND 3.3V!

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: 

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Jul 16 2009 - 21:02:16) Cloud Engines (3.4.16)

starting pid 339, tty : '/bin/sh'
-sh-3.2#

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 

fping -g 192.168.0.0/24

So when you know the IP, you can now log into the Freeagent using 

ssh root@(Freeagent-IP)
Passwd: stxadmin

If you have plugged in a USB stick, you may see it with mount: 

-bash-3.2# mount 
 rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) 
 /dev/root on / type jffs2 (ro) 
 none on /proc type proc (rw) 
 none on /sys type sysfs (rw) 
 none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) 
 none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) 
 /tmp/.cemnt/sda1 on /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1 type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)

sda1 is a hard drive. 'cd' into it and back up the NAND: 

-bash-3.2# cd /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1

-bash-3.2# mkdir Backup 
-bash-3.2# cd Backup 

-bash-3.2# dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=mtd0 
   2048+0 records in 2048+0 records out 
-bash-3.2# sha1sum mtd0 >mtd0.sha1
-bash-3.2# dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=mtd1 
   8192+0 records in 8192+0 records out 
-bash-3.2# sha1sum mtd1 >mtd1.sha1 
-bash-3.2# dd if=/dev/mtd2 of=mtd2 
   65536+0 records in 65536+0 records out 
-bash-3.2# sha1sum mtd2 >mtd2.sha1 
-bash-3.2# dd if=/dev/mtd3 of=mtd3 
   448512+0 records in 448512+0 records out 
-bash-3.2# sha1sum mtd3 >mtd3.sha1

3.3 Resume control

Now we want to resume control and make sure that the Pogoplug software won't call home. 

-bash-3.2# killall hbwd                      #stop the Pogoplug binary
-bash-3.2# mount -o remount,rw /             #remount writeable
-bash-3.2# chmod go+w /dev/null              #fix a bug

Disable the pogoplug code to come up again when the system starts up the next time: 

-bash-3.2# vi /etc/init.d/rcS

Now go to the line that says 

/etc/init.d/hbmgr.sh start

and disable it by writing a "#" in front.

Now you can reboot with 

-bash-3.2# mount -o remount,ro / 
-bash-3.2# /sbin/halt

3.4 Updating U-Boot

Follow the instructions given here: 

http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/

Enter: 

cd /tmp 
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh 
chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh 
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh

AND DO NOT UNPLUG POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!

After it has completed successfully, you may powercycle.

3.5 Install Debian

Prerequisites: A USB memory stick

I'm using the installer from Jedd Doozan for Debian Squeeze in otder to write the new Debian to the USB stick. So we must prepare it first: 

host     $ fdisk /dev/sdx

  Partition 1, primary, Type Linux, min. 280MB, Typical 512MB 

  Partition 2, primary, Type Swap,  ~100-500MB (the bigger the better for the stick's wear leveling)

host     $ mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdx1
host     $ mkswap /dev/sdx2

Now make sure that the stick is plugged into the Freeagent. Then execute the script: 

dockstar $ cd /tmp 
dockstar $ wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh 
dockstar $ chmod +x dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh 
dockstar $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin 
dockstar $ ./dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh

Now be patient. This takes a while. And: DO NOT UNPLUG POWER!!!!

Note: I decided against the TFTP method given here: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Installing_Debian_To_Flash#Run_the_Debian_Installer

3.6 Write the image to the FLASH

3.7 Configure Debian
