Device does not respond after FW upgrade attempt #218

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hello,

My device NS-K330 does not respond anymore after FW upgrade, here is the story;
I have made a build from trunk and tried to download it to NS-K330.
In firmware upgrade screen, after I click go, it didn't do anything and just 
hanged. I waited some time to let it finish but it didn't. At the end I 
switched off and on the power and checked connection to the box over network 
but never reached the device, It seems does not have ip in my network, I tried 
hard resetting but it didn't help. 

My questions in this point:
1. In kernel configuration menu before the build, I used default settings, is 
it OK or I should have changed something special?
2. Before starting the upgrade, I had connected 8GB micro SD card as usb disk 
to box and formatted it with using web interface format section , but in the 
previous upgrade which was successful, there was normal usb flash disk 
connected and it was formatted as FAT32 on a windows machine, may this cause 
any issue ? 
3. I will try to reach console via rs-232, once I successfully set this up what 
are the next steps to upgrade new FW to recover the system?

Waiting for your comments.. thanks..

How do you know you build was ok?
Any specific reason you built it on your own?
I am afraid, the device may be bricked.

I don't know if the build is OK but I believe I followed the build procedure 
correctly.
I wanted to build my own due to getting latest fixes, especially for ftp. 

Any idea about my questions?

1: 
Going thjrough the kernel configuration isn'T required. Maybe that screwed 
something up.

2: 
Unlikely. The firmware verification would have probably failed if something was 
wrong with the filesystem.

3. 
The snake os updater doesn't touch the bootloader so you should still be able 
to get a serial console. Instructions for setting it up are in the manual.
From the console you can try this:

Thank you Stefan for the answer.
Will try recovering via serial console, 
I hope it will work..

Hi Stefan,
I can now recover by running tftp boot over serial console.
Thanks for your help..

On the other hand, my own build still fails with kernel panic even if I don't 
touch kernel settings before the build this time. 
Please see below logs..

Any idea?

I've never seen this one before: Empty flash at 0x0029afa0 ends at 0x0029fff0
If this applies it's probably harmless. 
http://armlinux.simtec.co.uk/faq.html#faqquestion_73

The "No init found" can mean that busybox is missing, wasn't built properly or 
that some libraries didn't get copied to the rootfs. That one is sadly one of 
the less helpful error messages.

If you haven't done so time time try to build again from a clean checkout.

Also plaese post a full build log.

Hi,

Build with a clean checkout from latest revision works fine now, no idea what 
was the difference with older, it was revision 300 which looks a bit old. I see 
in svn logs makefile and build script has been updated afterward.

Anyway, all the issues are solved.. Thanks a lot for your supreme help...

Best Regards.
