Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
and then it would just hang.
Fortunately the Sheevaplug people provide a recovery tool. There are two parts to the recovery tool: usb drive and host. Some of the recovery tools needs to get loaded onto a usb drive and placed into the Sheevaplug's usb port (the big one, not the mini usb port). Then, the host part runs on either Windows or Linux and communicates over the usb cable. I already have Ubuntu on VMware Fusion (Mac OSX), so I'll use that since it is a Linux system we're dealing with, and the setup looks slightly easier.
I followed the instructions in the README. Step 3 says to "edit the ~/work/sheevaplug-installer/installer/uboot-custom.txt file to burn the correct MAC address according to the MAC address on the back of the Plug (change the ethaddr value)". I created this file and entered the address with colons: 00:50:43:01:D0:75 (it didn't say anything about the format).
In step 5, the files were already there from step 4, odd. Step 5d asks me to Init ramdisk (uImage.initrd). I only have file a initrd file, so I copied initrd to uImage.initrd.
After copying the files to the USB drive, it looks like
README.txt uboot.bin initrd uImage ubuntu-sheevaplug.sh modules.tar.gz uImage.initrd rootfs.tar.gz uboot-custom.txt
PHP is required (odd choice but whatever), so need to install that
sudo apt-get install php5 sudo apt-get install php5-cli
At first I got a libftdi error
**** Burning uboot and environment variables ... This will take few minutes ... openocd/openocd: error while loading shared libraries: libftdi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so I installed all sorts of ftdi. I don't think all of these are necessary but they can't hurt.
sudo apt-get install libftdi1 sudo apt-get install libftdi-dev sudo apt-get install libftdipp1
And run the script again:
sudo php5 runme.php nand

**** openocd FAILED
**** Is the mini USB cable connected?
Actually yes, it is connected. I can connect to the plug with cu fine so I don't think it has anything to do with vmware.
Then, I find this post http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=920.0
erpel suggests "you might need to change the file: sheevaplug-installer-v1.0/uboot/openocd/config/interface/sheevaplug.cfg" ... "This is due to a changed vendor ID after 07/2009."
Not coincidently, my plug shipped right around that time.
As the post sugguests I ran lsusb and discover that my vid/pid are incorrect. I updated the config as follows and try again.
interface ft2232 ft2232_layout sheevaplug #ft2232_vid_pid 0x9e88 0x9e8f ft2232 vid_pid 0x0403 0x6010 #ft2232_device_desc "SheevaPlug JTAGKey FT2232D B" jtag_khz 2000
This time it works!
sudo php5 runme.php nand
Update 7/2: This time on Ubuntu 10.x (previous recovery was on 9.x), I got a php root error:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: OS in /home/andrew/sheevaplug-installer-v1.0/runme.php on line 7 PHP Notice: Undefined index: USER in /home/andrew/sheevaplug-installer-v1.0/runme.php on
I'm running as root so this is a bug. I fixed by commenting out the root check:
#if ($_ENV["USER"] != 'root')
#die("You must run this as root\n");
as described here: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=2068.0 (thanks to iffypug)When I ran runme.php again I got a connection error. This was resolved by installing openocd and using that instead of the version that comes with the installer. I got this tip from iffypug's forum post.
apt-get install openocd $ cd uboot/openocd $ mv openocd openocd.bak $ ln -s /usr/bin/openocd openocd
This time it completes but I get another php error:
U-boot should be up and running now. Open your console ... PHP Notice: Undefined variable: string_beeps in /home/andrew/sheevaplug-installer-v1.0/runme.php on line 86
We'll pretend this didn't happen. When I connect to the plug via serial, it's still doing stuff and I get a bunch of gobbledygook characters. See gobblygook section at the end of the post for the dramatic conclusion.
End update

It says to update bootargs, only when I printenv bootargs I get:
## Error: "bootargs": not defined
It seems that UBoot was updated during the recovery process and bootargs is not longer a parameter. My Uboot version is now:
U-Boot 1.1.4 (Jul 19 2009 - 16:03:28) Marvell version: 3.4.19It boots fine so I'm not going to worry too much at this point.
Now I'm going to modify the plug to boot off an 8GB SD Card. I will follow this guide http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SD_Card_As_Root_File_System
I need to follow the "Changes for Alpha6 Beta" since I used the recovery tool. It says to set the following uboot parameter:
setenv bootargs_root root=b301Then save and boot:
saveenv boot
The boot console now shows:
EXT3 FS on mmcblk0p1, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with writeback data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 179:1.
So I know it's booting off of the SD card. Furthermore, a 'df' shows:
root@pluggy:~# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 256872 0 256872 0% /lib/init/rw varrun 256872 36 256836 1% /var/run varlock 256872 0 256872 0% /var/lock udev 256872 112 256760 1% /dev tmpfs 256872 0 256872 0% /dev/shm rootfs 7692876 528788 6773312 8% /
If I want to go back to booting off of NAND, it's just a matter of changing bootargs_root to
bootargs_root=ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs
Next up I plan to install the Sun (Oracle) JDK for ARM so I can run my Java apps.
Here's the output (as far as history would scroll) of my second recovery on Ubuntu 10.x (first was Ubuntu 9.x, which was much smoother
