Thinking about upgrading my Pogo E02 U-Boot. (5 replies)

When I got this Pogoplug, I followed the Qnology blog to modify the U-Boot. Using netconsole I got version of U-Boot that is currently installed:

U-Boot 2011.12 (Feb 20 2012 - 21:21:59)
Pogoplug E02

The Pogoplug works fine and I am running the latest Debian from this site on a hdd. Some of the features of the latest U-Boot like using >2TB drives would be nice. So can I do this procedure directly from Debian?

I did do a check for bad blocks using dmesg scan and got this:

[     5.781933] Scanning device for bad blocks
[     5.790715] Bad eraseblock 43 at 0x000000560000

Will this bad eraseblock be an issue? I don't want to brick it.

Thank you for the help.
