1 year ago It's not destroyed but if you want it back you have some work to do. Having already the console is a good start :)
What would you like to do now? Really install Buster or just restore the NAS to a working state? Do you have data in it that you might want to backup somewhere else?

1 year ago Hi Paolo,
It's not destroyed, there might be better solutions, but you can still reinstall Debian "Buster" from scratch using a TFTP server. Just make the kernel-6282 and initrd files available to your TFTP server, then connect your serial console to the NAS, power it on and stop U-Boot when it says "Hit any key to stop autoboot".
Then issue the following commands for booting the Debian installer.
dhcp
tftp 0x800000 kernel-6282
tftp 0xb00000 initrd
bootm 0x800000Now you should be able to connect to your NAS using ssh installer@IPADDRESS. You must take care NOT TO FORMAT the partitions you want to keep... :-)
At the end of the process you'll have to run again the upgrades to Bullseye and then to Bookworm...
@cavokz
I got Bookworm installed on a TS-221, same 6282 cpu as TS-219P+. If I provided Paolo with my kernel and initrd, would he be able to boot? He should be able al least to get into maintenance mode, where he could mount his previous partitions from fstab (plus the bind mounts for dev, proc, sys and run) under a temporary root (e.g. /tmproot), chroot to it and then run update-initramfs -u.
Would that work?

I'm not sure, probably the dtb file is different. It's worth a try I think, at worst it does not boot.
@paolocesari you could also physically connect the booting drive of your NAS to another pc, via sata-to-usb adapter if you have it, and extract (and copy to your tftp server) the very same kernel and initrd images that were flashed with the upgrade to Bookworm.

Hi everyone, after running the script qnap_mtd_resize.py (the command sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf was essential) I was able to update Debian to Bullseye and also to Bookworm. Then, I don't know why, I decided to install Buster (kernel-6282 and initrd are files from Debian FTP repository). ~$ sudo dd if=/tmp/debian/kernel-6282 of=/dev/mtdblock1 ~$ sudo dd if=/tmp/debian/initrd of=/dev/mtdblock2
As fas as I remember, writing flash with "dd" into /dev/mtdblockN only turns "1" bits into "0", but "0" bits are stick to 0. You must use "flashcp" or "flash_erase" correctly for this. Consequently, you just write garbage to your flash...
The QNAP original firrmware has the "dd" of=/dev/mtdblockX OK, but I suspect QNAP to have hack their kerner MTD driver to make this work.
If you have kept a /dev/mtd1 and /dev/mtd2 backup before screwed you flash, you still have the possibility to write them back from the uboot command line
Did you ?
Regards, Arnaud
And nothing, the NAS turns on but does not boot. Connecting by serial port to U-Boot I see the "kernel panic" error. Do you think there is a way to solve this problem? (I know, you do well to remind me that I should have read the guide Recovery.md). Thanks you all. Paolo

Yes, this is the best way to recover here.... especially since you tried to re-install debian buster.

Hi,
very very well, this solution worked perfectly!
It was a bit hard because it was the first time I used tftp, but in the end everything went well.
Unfortunately the command dhcp did not work: I solved by setting fixed IP
setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.30and then
tftp 0x800000 kernel-6282
tftp 0xb00000 initrd
bootm 0x800000I want to thank @lpaolini for the advice, but also @amouiche and @cavokz for the alternative solutions. This project is really great! Thanks again to all, Paolo

Very simply I preferred to install Buster from scratch because I did not know how to work with chroot.

I had the same problem. Unfortunately I did not have the specific connector, so I soldered some extensions on the pins on which I connected the cables of the adapter. Alternatively you have to look for its male connector (I don't know the connector type/name - the distance between the pins is 2 mm).
Your adapter PL2303TA only seems to work on Windows, I hope it's not a problem (driver here: https://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=223&pcid=126 )

1 year ago @Conan179 The serial connector is a JST PHR-4. I'd suggest buying one with pre-connected cables, like this one.
Also, make sure the serial adapter is 3.3v and not 5v, as it would destroy the serial port of your QNAP.
The safest choice, when it comes to connecting your computer to any serial port, is to use an optocoupled serial port adapter, which can protect your computer from expensive mistakes.
Conan179

1 year ago Thanks to you both, that helps me, I'll tackle it next month.
@lpaolini Danke für die Amazon links.
lpaolini
commented
1 year ago @Conan179 If you go for the optocoupled serial adapter, which I strongly recommend, follow the pinout below, as instructions provided are very not clear.
Put the jumper either on COM and 3.3v for selecting 3.3v, or COM and 5.0v for selecting 5v (and not where shown in the photo).
Also, in most cases (unless the device with the serial port is powered through the serial port itself) the V+ pin must not be connected. So, for connecting to your QNAP, use GND, TX and RX only.
I could not find any documentation for the P30 pin, which should be left disconnected.
If you're curious as to why I recommend the optoisolated one, the reason is that I fried an iMac i9 while trying to flash a smart plug that was inadvertently still connected to the mains...

1 year ago @Conan179 Forgot to mention you can swap the cables pre-connected to the JST PHR-4 connector by slightly pulling up the plastic tabs (one at a time) with a cutter and then pulling the wire.
When making the connections make sure that RX and TX are crossed between the two connectors (RX -> TX and TX -> RX).

1 year ago My DSD TECH SH-U09C5 and the connecting cables arrived today. Because my soldering skills are not that great, I ordered these terminals https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07GPQ7VCF/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to connect the cables to the adapter. And I connected it to my notebook. Here is the beginning of the log:

How come I can't type anything?

- your TX connection is not connected correctly (signal not received by qnap)
- you didn't disable hardware control flow on your PC side (you PC may think the remote side is not ready to received)
- It is also possible that your ground connection is not correctly connected.
Also, the voltage of the line must be equivalent on the Qnap and your adapter (for example if your QNAP is using 3.3V and your adapter is 1.8V, you will receive (even if too voltage is too high), but the QNAP may not). You should check this with a Voltmeter if you have one.

OK, I'll check that.

I turned off the flow control, I'm 100% sure, I checked it several times.

I have a voltmeter at home and can use it. How should I check the voltage, from ground to Tx or Rx? From the USB adapter (the jumper is set to 3.3v.) or from the NAS?

When no conenction between NAS and serial adapter, measure the voltage between ground and TX (or RX since there is a pull-up). The signal level is high when idle (for TX or RX) so you have the voltage used by the interface. The voltage should be the same in NAS and Adapter side (or less than 0.5V difference).
Also, with the voltmeter you should be able to see if there is an activity on the adapter TX line. Even if it is not a oscilloscope, you should see a drop of the "average" voltage when the line is transmitting continously with something like "cat /dev/zero > /dev/ttyUSB0" from your PC. If you only type your keyboard, it will not generate enough "zeros" to be detected with the voltmeter, but copy/paste of a large text content should also work.

1 year ago So, when measured, my multimeter shows 3.7v on the adapter and v on the qnas. When I insert a longer text, the voltage drops to ~ 1.5v and the tx LED on the adapter flashes. When I measure ground to the 3 wires on the qnap, it always shows me 5v.

1 year ago @Conan179 VCC must not be connected. Even a small difference in voltage can cause a large enough current to break things.
Never ever connect VCC unless the device doesn't have its own power supply (i.e. it's powered via the serial).

1 year ago @Conan179 I have both TS-219P and TS-221 and they both operate at 3.3v. I'm pretty sure the TS-219P+ uses the same voltage.

1 year ago OK, - Don't connect VCC, it is not usefull here - If you QNAP is using 5V, and you adapter is configured (by jumpers as I understand) to 3.3V, It can explain what you experience.
So, I've now measured several times, the pins on my TS-421 definitely have 5V. I removed the vcc and tried first with 3.3v then with 5v jumper setting on the adapter, nothing changed, reading works, writing doesn't.

1 year ago I don't have any Linux installed at the moment, with a live Linux there is an error that takes too long to fix in a live Linux. The instructions for the adapter say that you can test it by putting a jumper on RX and TX, and that works too.

commented
1 year ago Ok, so the adapter works. Can you repeat this test connecting the RX and TX pins on the JST connector instead? This way you can test the entire cable too.

1 year ago Hmm... there must be an issue with the serial port on the QNAP then.
Hi everyone, after running the script
qnap_mtd_resize.py(the command sudorm /etc/modprobe.d/local.confwas essential) I was able to update Debian to Bullseye and also to Bookworm.Then, I don't know why, I decided to install Buster (kernel-6282 and initrd are files from Debian FTP repository).
And nothing, the NAS turns on but does not boot. Connecting by serial port to U-Boot I see the "kernel panic" error. Do you think there is a way to solve this problem? (I know, you do well to remind me that I should have read the guide Recovery.md). Thanks you all. Paolo
