Indeed, I do have two OpenRD machines running right now, an
"Ulitmate" and a "Client". Both are available for testing. Let me
know what you would like me to do and I'll get to it ASAP. I also
have a SheevaPlug currently running and available for testing if
that's of any interest.
Hi Rick,
If the SheevaPlug is available for testing, can you do two things:
1) Install bullseye
Worked fine and checked OK (yeah, it's Bullseye). I installed a minimal setup (no GUIs no network servers) with only ssh and an otherwise basic system.
I put the installation "uI*" files on a 64GB micro-SD card (in a micro -> full-size adapter) formatted as ext2 then installed to that same SD card. No USB involved. Let me know if you want me to try a USB stick as well.
I allowed the guided partitioner to put everything in one partition. I didn't try anything fancy like LVM or manual partitioning. Again, let me know if you want me to try something else.
* Boot into u-boot and check the version: type "version"
U-Boot 2016.01-rc3+dfsg1-3 (Jan 02 2016 - 23:19:11 +0000)
Marvell-Sheevaplug
* Install bullseye according to the instructions here: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install/
Note that the download links point to buster. You have to replace
buster with bullseye in the link.
No problem. Worked fine with "buster" -> "bullseye")
* Check if the installation is okay and you have Debian bullseye at the
end (/etc/debian_version).
See above. results as expected.
2) Try u-boot from bullseye
Basically, follow http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/uboot-upgrade/
but replace stretch with bullseye in the download link
Haven't tried this yet -- see below...
Warning: if this fails, you need OpenOCD to recover. I can't help
with this. (I haven't touched these devices in years!) But I think
you've used OpenOCD before.
I have indeed used OpenOCD before, but it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Can you point me at instructions for using OpenOCD? Thanks!
I've got a second sheevaplug that I bricked a long time ago, but I wonder if OpenOCD might bring it back to life. I'll try that one first.
If it works, check if USB, etc work (i.e. boot from the USB stick into Debian). You could also do another installation of Debian just in
case but that's not needed.
It's fun! Let me know if you want to see any log files or so on.
If you have time for this, great! But if not, no worries.
