Booting a recent kernel on the Pogoplug Series 4 (also some hacking and poking)

Last test 2024-01-03 using OpenWrt (kernel v5.15)

PogoPlug breakdown

Hardware

Install OpenWrt

OpenWrt supports this device fine, and it is what I am using these days. Check the device page at OpenWrt for more information.

Stuff I install:

  opkg update
  opkg install luci ksmbd-server kmod-usb-storage block-mount yt-dlp e2fsprogs cryptsetup openssh-sftp-server unrar hdparm
I then set up a script in /etc/board.d/04_hdparm to run hdparm -S 12 /dev/sdN over all local disks like this:

# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
# Spin down drives after one minute if inactive

if [ ! -n "$(command -v hdparm)" ]; then
  exit 0
fi

DISKS=$(find /dev/sd[a-z] 2>/dev/null)
for DISK in $DISKS
do
  if [ -b $DISK ] ; then
    hdparm -S 12 $DISK > /dev/null
  fi
done

Install ArchLinux

WARNING: this is historical information. The ARMv5 support was deleted from ArchLinuxARM and they no longer support the target.

This page at ArchLinux details how to install a system from scratch. They make some assumptions, and for example try to download the whole distribution archive into /tmp which will not work. Download it to the target device and untar it there instead.

What ArchLinux finally does when you run the script ppv4-install.sh is to write a second U-Boot at offset 0x100000 (halfway into the U-boot partition in flash, see below) and making the factory-installed U-Boot first look for IDE and USB devices to boot fromm and if that fails (typically because they are not formatted with ext2) load and run this second U-Boot, provided by ArchLinux. The second U-Boot has extended capabilities. It modifies the bootloader parameters using /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/blparam which comes with CloudEngines installation.

Setting up swap: a locale-gen problem

Sometimes locale-gen dies under update because it runs out of memory. This can happen if you're just running samba or minidlna as well. So better safe than sorry. Set up swap. Solve this by enabling a temporary swap file (as root):

Make the change permanent by not disabling adding the swapfile your /etc/fstab like this:

/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

Installing and starting SAMBA

If you want to use the pogoplug as a NAS then you want SAMBA installed.

Installing and starting ReadyMedia/minidlna

If you want to access your media files from a DLNA device such as a Samsung TV.

Build a custom kernel

Boot with a custom kernel

Using the serial port, I hit ENTER when the U-Boot prompt comes up like this:

  U-Boot 1.1.4 (Oct  1 2011 - 12:06:06) Cloud Engines 1.1.2 (3.4.27) PHYADDR=0

  CE>>
  CE>>

At this CE>> prompt copy/paste a commandline like this:

  CE>> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootwait rootfstype=ext4;setenv serverip 192.168.1.1;setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.2;setenv bootfile uImage;tftpboot 0x00800000;bootm 0x00800000

This will set up the boot arguments so that we use /dev/sda1 as root filesystem, then load the kernel from a TFTP server and boot it. If you have both USB and SATA devices plugged in, either can become sda or sdb figure it out.

Poke around in flash

The flash partitions should appear as /dev/mtd0 .. /dev/mtd4 and physically look like displayed in dmesg:

  [    0.857554] nand: device found, Manufacturer ID: 0xad, Chip ID: 0xf1
  [    0.862580] nand: Hynix H27U1G8F2BTR-BC

  [    0.871526] Scanning device for bad blocks
  [    0.969082] 5 ofpart partitions found on MTD device orion_nand

  [    0.982870] 0x000000200000-0x000000500000 : "uImage"
  [    0.988115] 0x000000500000-0x000000800000 : "uImage2"
  [    0.993329] 0x000000800000-0x000001000000 : "failsafe"
  [    0.998763] 0x000001000000-0x000008000000 : "root"

The first two are pretty self-explanatory. uImage2 is a rescue/fallback kernel (just a copy of the first uImage), I have no clue about failsafe, but it contains UBIFS markers. root is obviously the root filesystem in UBIFS format.

Poke around in UBIFS

The onboard 128MiB flash has a rootfs with the CloudEngine default firmware. Maybe you just want to leave that sitting there, because the flash is too small to host ArchLinux (which is around 1-2 GiB) or any other full distribution. Of course you can make a smallish BusyBox installation just like CloudEngine does.

You find a boring filesystem with Busybox, Dropbear (SSH), gdbserver (!), and some custom CloudEngine software in /mnt/usr/local/cloudengines/bin, where you can just from filenames tell that they have spent some time on supporting HFS, NTFS 3g, ffmpeg (thumbnails? transcoding?), ppsync (which I guess is what connects to their cloud service), and for some reason MediaTek RT3070 wireless USB adapters. There is also the custom kernel module XCE, which seems (to me) like a completely needless replacement for proper userspace ABIs that already exist, e.g. reimplementation of the already existing Marvell "poweroff" and watchdog by poking directly in the Marvell system controller, and a GPIO interface reimplemting /sys/class/gpio/* export. Maybe some of it is due to this old kernel lacking some of that support, but I don't know. Actually it seems it would be simple to take the latest mainline kernel and compile XCE for it and run this CloudEngine application.

Install the custom kernel into flash

Do you care about the original Cloudengines firmware? Do you like their nifty cloud service and Android apps to access files? Then this is obviously not for you. I just see this box as a piece of hardware that I wanna play around with and get to do my stuff.

However, CloudEngines have cleverly put two copies of their kernel into the flash. One copy at 0x200000-0x500000 and another copy at 0x500000-0x800000. So if you overwrite one of them with your custom kernel, the other one will still be there.

The two partitions used for uImages are too small for an upstream Marvell Kirkwood kernel. We could try to strip our kernel down but .... aecch. Too much work. I like my 4.1 MB kernel. Since I'm not using the root filesystem, I'm just going to overwrite that. Maybe make a backup first.

Needless to say this procedure require serial console access.

Using the hardware crypto engine

The crypographic AES engine in the Marvell Kirkwood SoC will accelerate and offload cryptographic operations on the PogoPlug, but then think about using the right cipher. This works to encrypt an entire drive on /dev/sdb:

    cryptsetup -v --cipher aes-cbc-plain /dev/sdb
    cryptsetup open /dev/sdb storage
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/storage bs=1M
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/storage
    mkdir /mnt/storage
    mount /dev/mapper/storage /mnt/storage

As you can see the key is to use cipher type aes-cbc-plain since the LUKS default aes-xtc-plain64 isn't properly supported by the hardware engine.
