I'd used OpenEmbedded on LinkStations for a while... Koen Kooi or someone else from there put up this nifty rootfs generator...

http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/

I see that it has  "SheevaPlug" as a target device option.   How close is the SheevaPlug to the original PogoPlugs (Kirkwoodbased)?

I also have a POGO-B01 Pink on the way via UPS from Adorama.    It is my understanding that such an image just might run on the non-OXNAS Pogos.

Has anyone tried this?

====================

ARGHHH!!! In haste, I may have misunderstood some of the documentation I had read... It was my understanding that B01 could have Debian and a newer mainline kernel installed on/to it... it seems that this may _not_ be the case...

Was really hoping to use a Pogoplug for my 1-wire Weather Station and Webcam in our garden...  Frown    I'm afraid that when I receive it, it may be OXNAS rather than Kirkwood... 

No kernel, no joy, I need webcam drivers...

Ok:

If you can ssh in, run `cat /proc/cpuinfo`

If it says anything about Marvell, and not "oxnas" then you're good :)

Arch Linux ARM has a 3.0.1 kernel for the Marvell Kirkwood/Feroceon systems

Hahhhhh... I "misremembered" a mistake... I actually ordered the EO2, not the BO2

so I should be OK... the EO2 is documented everywhere as being Marvell-based, not OXNAS...

and Adorama's info service has assured me that I have an EO2 ordered and shipping to me... so, unless they renege on their promise, I should be Marvellously ready to swap in a new uboot...

Has anyone ever make a uboot w/ netconsole for the  Pogoplug?  I did that here (for the Buffalo LS Pro V1/V2 a few years ago).  It was a lot of work patching, and even more in terms of making it stable & nonbricking... my ARM-JTAG-USB adapter was pretty much my safety net.  I took the Buffalo/Marvell sources  (based on uboot 1.1.1, iirc), and patched it w/  code from uboot 1.1.4.  

Netconsole (with netcat or nc) is a nice way to access and control the boot process.
