Re: How to install in a Seagate FreeAgent DockStar?

Hi Michelle,
To install Debian to Seagate Dockstar is quite easy except for the Uboot flash part, please refer to the following link for new Uboot (mtd0) that support dual boot

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,210

I have never tried with JTAG on Seagate but the pin for Serial Access you can take a look here:

http://www.yourwarrantyisvoid.com/2010/07/21/seagate-dockstar-add-an-accessible-serial-port/

Frankly, Seagate is SheevaPlug with less RAM, so you can use the SheevaPlug's kernel with it (currently I run 2.6.35.4 on Seagate Dockstar NAS as well as SheevaPlug, they work just fine).

BTW, have anyone successfully built kernel 2.6.35.4 for Terastation Pro II? I built 2.6.34 for it without any problem but failed with 2.6.35.2 under the same setup (everything is the same, devio stuff is not changed....etc), UBoot just tell me when load 2.6.35.2 that it doesn't support for that variant processor ...blah blah . Does my devio stuff fail?

Sorry for my English.

Rgds,
Dang Hai

Hello *,

I use a bunch of "Seagate FreeAgent" with USB cable for  backup  several
highly secured networks.

Now I have bought some "Seagate FreeAgent DockStar" whch  transform  the
FreeAgent USB Drives into a Network Storage Sever.  Unfortunately I  can
not get the DockStart Working because there should be a Webinterface but
I can not get the IP for the DockStar.

Note: The DockStar use a Marvel 88F6281 with 128MB SDRAM and 256 MB NAND

Has someoneinstalled Deban on the DockStar?

Or does someone know, the pin layout of the 10pin JTAG connector?
(It does not seem to be a stansdard layout because OpenOCD want connect)

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
