If you do not already have that, then this procedure will not work, and you will need Serial to recover. This procedure is only recommended after a modern bootloader and uboot configuration are already in place. Upgrading the bootloader to a modern version is a requirement for booting modern kernels (3.2+) and modern filesystems (ubifs).Īfter upgrading you can inspect the version of uboot and it should be: 0圆eddc, the size of data to write, which matches how big the file was when we ran the tftboot command Start location 0x0, the beginning of the flash where the bootloader goes 0x800000, the location in ram where our data was tftpd to NAND erase: device 0 offset 0x0, size 0圆eddc You could optionally erase the entire thing if you wanted to TFTP from server 10.0.2.10 our IP address is 10.0.2.11įilename 'openwrt-kirkwood-dockstar-u-boot.kwb'. # Save this output!

The latest version of uboot that *does* work as a first-stage bootloader is from 14.07. (The Pogoplug has been available since early 2009.The most recent versions of uboot on the OpenWrt downloads pages do *not* work as a first-stage bootloader. The Seagate DockStar is available as of Wednesday. That feature-not currently available on Pogoplug's standalone product-should allow the DockStar drives to be accessible via non-PC DLNA-compatible network devices, including Seagate's own FreeAgent Theater+.

That said, Seagate is planning to add SMB drive support to the DockStar via a future firmware update. With DockStar and Pogoplug both costing $99, we'd be inclined to go with Pogoplug's instead. That contrasts with Pogoplug's standalone product, which requires no fees. On the downside, Seagate is charging $30 per year for the capability to access the drive from outside your home network (after one year of free access). Even better, Pogoplug offers a free iPhone app that lets you access files via iPhones and iPod Touch handhelds.

Alternately, you can download Pogoplug's software plug-ins for mapping the DockStar to a drive letter on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines. The Web interface works on any Web browser, it requires no software installation, and lets you set specific folders for others to access, as well as publish RSS feeds of your files to various social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace). The system offers a Web interface for accessing the drive's files from any computer (on your home network, or worldwide via the Internet).

That's a good thing, since Pogoplug's standalone product is exceptionally simple to set up and easy to use. Network access is enabled via technology Seagate has licensed from Pogoplug-in other words, it's just a Seagate-skinned version of Pogoplug's interface.

However, instead of linking to your PC via USB, the DockStar uses its Ethernet port to live on your home network. Like the preceding Dock+ model, the DockStar can host a FreeAgent Go drive in its cradle, plus up to three other USB drives. Seagate's DockStar can support up to four USB drivesĭo you want to turn a USB hard drive into a cheap, easy network-attached storage device? Seagate's DockStar is designed to let you do just that.
