First I would like to thank all people like Bodhi en many more to provide means to keep legacy hardware up and running.
Unfortunately to keep it running is something more challenging.
After a lot of fiddling en trying I manged to have a working PogoplugPro (oxnas) booting from USB.
I had it installed with U-Boot 2013.10-tld-5 and Debian running.
In an attempt to update the uboot to 2015.10 I managed to really brick the pogo.
What went wrong?
I had ssh ´d into debian on the pogo and created some directories to manage the files. Copied uboot.2015.10-tld-2.ox820.bodhi.tar to it with scp from my desktop system. (I could not download it directly from dropbox with wget)
untarred it etc and entered the command to erase the MTD0 device (I assumed this is the SPL aera, but it does not matter anyway)
Because the result did not show values that I would expect and because the memory area seemed way beyond 0x000000 I made the assumption that a reboot would be an option. ( I know Bodhi advised otherwise...)
How wrong appeared that assumption to be...................
There was no reboot. Only a dead Pogoplug. No Led, no serial, no nothing.
I am out of options now.
The only hope I have is that I may be able to boot from sata. Is that an option?
Or maybe revival using JTAG ?
Or should I accept that I really killed the device beyond revival......
The sata way is more or less described here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32994
however I am lost at:
8b.) Run Sata uboot SCRIPT
But before I will attempt all this I would like to know if the sata boot procedure, if implemented properly, would make a revival of the box possible.
I have been working with single board computers and electronics way long ago, so assume I could manage a JTAG recovery. However I have found no information about that with reference to the PogoproV3 system. Only de V4. And I assume that this procedure cannot be used as is for the PogoPro. Bricking it again is not needed;)
I have also noticed the mentioning of kwboot. But have no idea of that could do the job.
Hoping for the best.
