I got in on the Buy.com $50 deal and foud out my new baby is NOT like the rest Foot in mouth.  Being new to the Linux front, but not afraid to play-around, I was hoping someone would have some steps to do a complete backup (NAND and current file system) before I hose myself Tongue out  I'd much appreciate the help.

First of all: You need a bootloader which is booting from USB. Or you will have to deal with the Serial-Connection fun. (see http://www.pogoplugged.com/forum/thread/13088/Pink-brick-d/?highlight=serial+... for that).

But as long as you don't mount the NAND in read mode nothing really bad can happen.

I think he meant don't mount the NAND in write mode

Oh, and DO NOT use the PlugApps installer for the POGO-E02 "V2 / Pinky"

That is not the same device as you know, and you *will* have a brick. :p

Yeah, took a shot, got a cable coming now Foot in mouth  What's the easiest way to get this 'brick' back on it's feet??

Depends on the level of Brick.

If you screwed up mtd0 or mtd1 part that contains the uboot, you're boned without a JTAG.

If uboot is still intact, then you've got a shot with the serial cable.

Ethernet looks 1/2 way decent (lights, no ping); but no LED (no blinkey).  These B01 appear to be PRO boards? (have SATA header) and a 4 pin (looks like the old audio cable).

cable should be here by end of week and I have a few old audio cables in the garage.  Is there something I can try in the interim?

The B01/B02/B03/B04 are all the same board as the P21 (ceboardver PPV3) which is the the Pro/Video board, minus all PCIe circuitry
