Hi Everyone,

today I bought a "Seagate FreeAgent DockStar" for 40 €. It's a mini Linux based device, with the intended use to store files on attached USB devices and serving them within a cable based network, using an application to access them and also storing that files somewhere online in the net. I read this article (sorry: German), which describes how to install a custom Debian system on that device, found that whole thing _very_ cool and wanted to do the same thing with a Gentoo OS.

The Hardware is looking like this from the front
and like this from behind.

The Seagate FreeAgent DockStar is a very compact device with the following hardwarespecs:
  • 1,2 Ghz Marvell CPU
  • 128 MB RAM
  • 256 MB Flash (contains the preinstalled PlugOS)
  • 1x Gigabit Ethernet
  • 4 USB Ports (with one being an mini USB - dock-plug)

It seems to consume just 3-4 watts being idle and max. 8 watts under high load, with an attached USB HDD. The device don't have and don't need an mechanical cooling. So it doesn't produce any noise, which does make it very attractive for private use.
This all also makes it very interesting for serving as an mini-home-server, to download things while you are away, serving files, being an dhcp server, etc., for example. You can attach nearly every device by USB, so it's quite easy to upgrade the device with bigger hdds or even a wlan module.

There is quite a good manual to bring a Debian to this box. But (and yes: I know that Gentoo has to become compiled and this will take very long in this hardware) I'd like to use Gentoo instead! This thread shall serve as an central point of collecting ideas, opinions, experience and to become a manual to do this.

I'd like to start with a summary of the described way to go I found so far for using Debian for this purpose, since not everyone is capable of understandung German. My plan is to use this as some kind of reference to convert the whole thing to a Gentoo - Howto.

I'd like to make one thing clear: The Debian - Guide is in no way some work of my own! I don't want to earn the glory for this; I merely did more than to translate this article to english and added some sitenotes. The glory for this (and the idea itself) has to go to the user "stronzo" of the german "hardwareluxx.de - Forum".
Also big glory has to go to Falk Husemann, who described the way to go to get a Debian up and running on his site http://falkhusemann.de .


The Debian guide:

!! ATTENTION !!

As soon you are connecting the device to the network and the power supply, it will boot up, trying to connect to an onlineservice and apply a firmware upgrade, which uses an still unknown SSH password. It may be possible to reset this password online, after you registered the device under the product registering site, but this is still untested and the alternate way is recommended, which is described here.

So, the very first goal should be to disable the device's need to "call home", which means that it automatically connects to an online ressource, registers itself to a service and searches for (and automatically installing) an updated firmware version. To disable this function, you have to determine the IP which the device is using after bootup first. I'm running a DHCP managed network, but the device didn't seem to get an IP from the DHCP Server. It used it's default IP.
The default IP of each device is individual and can be determined as follows:

It always starts with "169.254.X.Y". The rest bases on the MAC adress of that device, while X is the penultimate, and Y the ultimate byte of the MAC. For example:
If the MAC of your DockStar (it's written on the bottom of the device) is "00:10:75:1B:1A:CB", then X is "26" and Y is "203". The default IP of the device will be: 169.254.26.203 then. You can use this online tool to calculate easily from HEX to Decimal.

Before we start, here are some infos about the front LED, which determines the device's status, to help you understanding what's going on:

  • Off: Device is switched off, the new uBoot or Plugbox is running
  • Green, flashing: Old bootloader is starting
  • Orange, flashing: Plugbox is booting
  • Green, steady: Plugbox is running, Internet is active, Device can connect "home"
  • Orange, steady / Orange, flashing: Plugbox is running, Internet is active, Device can not connect "home" (also true, if the line has been commented out as descibed with the following)


After you have determined the device's correct IP, you have to connect to it by using SSH. Therefore, you first have to configure your computer to be within the right net, or have that one routed correctly. I recommend to use a crossover networking cable between your computer and the DockStar, to make sure, that there will be no route to the internet for the DockStar available.
Once so far, you are asked for a username and password. The defaults are:

User: root
Pass: stxadmin

Once logged in, you have to edit the file "/etc/init.d/rcS". You can use the vi for doing this. Within that file, you have to comment the line
Quote:
/etc/init.d/hbmgr.sh start


Save that one and reboot the device by issuing
Code:
/sbin/reboot


I suggest to wait 30 seconds after saving, disconnect the power chord, reattach it, re-connect by SSH and make sure, that the line is still commented out. Then you can be 100% sure the setting has been saved and you can attach the device to the normal net without the risk to have the device flashing itself with an unwanted firmware. My device kept flashing orange after that. So I would call this the normal behavior after commenting out the described line and reboot the device. Practically I'd suggest to let the device connected as it is for the first time, since mine hasn't used the DHCP informations and still used it's default IP.

I'd suggest, the first thing to do should be to set an appropriate IP for your network, to not having to use the crossover-solution anymore. To do this, you have to know how your network is structured, first. Please also note, that these changes won't be permanent. This means, that the device starts up with its default networking config after a power loss or eaqual reboots.
Once you're logged into the device by SSH, you should issue the following commands:

Please make sure to change this to something valid for your network!

Quote:
-bash-3.2# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0
-bash-3.2# /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.10
-bash-3.2# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200
-bash-3.2#


The device won't answer anymore from this point, since the IP changes instead. Now attach your DockStar to the consigured network, without pulling the powerchord.

Now, the Debian guide recommends to attach an pre-partitioned and -formated USB media, containing an at least 512 MB , type 83 (Linux) partition (first) and a second partition of type 82 (swap) with 256 MB of size. The first one shall contain the new OS and the second shall expand the device's internal RAM with (just) 128 MB of size.
I attached an 8 GB USB Stick with the first primary partition containing an ext3 fs and 7,5 GB of size and a second partition, containing a swap fs and being 512 MB of size. It's referenced as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 on the DockStar then.

Code:
-bash-3.2# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 8005 MB, 8005787648 bytes
32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7756 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1               1        7234     7291840+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2            7235        7756      526176  82 Linux swap
-bash-3.2#


The original guide doesn't say anything about the fs to use. I think that, since the original OS of the device does not support ext4 or ReiserFS, the best filesystem to use for this is ext3. The device supports the following FS:

Code:
-bash-3.2# cat /proc/filesystems
nodev   sysfs
nodev   rootfs
nodev   bdev
nodev   proc
nodev   sockfs
nodev   usbfs
nodev   pipefs
nodev   anon_inodefs
nodev   futexfs
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   inotifyfs
nodev   devpts
   ext3
   ext2
   squashfs
nodev   ramfs
nodev   nfs
   jffs2
nodev   rpc_pipefs
-bash-3.2#


The Debian guide now uses a custom script to install either "Lenny" (current stable - 5.0) or "Squeeze" (current testing - 6.0). I'm posting the "Squeeze" - one as reference here:

The script has to be used as follows:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
chmod +x dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin
./dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh


The script "dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh" contains the following:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

The script seems to me to not doing anything besides:

  • Download some files onto the device
  • Replaces the device's bootloader with one contained within that downloaded files (uBoot)
  • Unattended installing a Debian OS
  • Setting the root password to "root"
  • Rebooting


So, the todos for doing the same with gentoo seem to be:

  • Making a backup of the default OS
  • Replacing the bootloader in device /dev/mtd0
  • getting the gentoo sources
  • installing gentoo like a "normal" USB Bootable install


which seems to be possible to me :)

That's the plan folks!

I'd like to hear your opinion to this plans. Perhaps even some solutions or suggestions? And I'll describe my effords to this task in this thread, too. The next few days I'll spend in re-reading the guides to install gentoo on ARM and USB sticks again to not break that precious thing :)

I've made some progress yesterday:

I've updated the uBoot bootloader of the device by just issuing the following part of the previous posted script by Jeff Doozan:

Code:

MIRROR="http://jeff.doozan.com/debian"
URL_UBOOT="$MIRROR/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh"

##########
##########
#
# Install uBoot on /dev/mtd0
#
##########
##########

# Get the uBoot install script
if [ ! -f /tmp/install_uboot_mtd0.sh ];
then
  wget -P /tmp $URL_UBOOT
  chmod +x /tmp/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
fi

echo "Installing Bootloader"
/tmp/install_uboot_mtd0.sh --noprompt


It worked like a charm, but I think this can be handled better: Currently, all the files, the script /tmp/install_uboot_mtd0.sh is downloading, are fetched from a single server, located at http://jeff.doozan.com/debian . Jeff strongly recommends to keep that source, but I somehow find this a little confusing to know, that each file can easily become modified in the future without anyone noticing it and to know, that this whole thing will not work anymore, once the server crashes or something.
Because of this two reasons, my next step will be to get all related files from there and fine-tune the process for geting the files by making it more transparent for a user. It could be managed by publically making the list of MD5 sums available on a different server for giving everyone a chance to check those checksums against that list, for example. Currently, the data files and the files, containing those checksums, reside on the same server.
Additionally, I will put those files onto different netstores, to ensure that they won't go offline anytime in the future.

This is what the script install_uboot_mtd0.sh contains:

The script worked well for me; so should it in all devices.

Second, I started with the Gentoo Handbook for ARM. The was a small problem, since the device doesn't have neither "bzip2" available, nor is it capable of copying files with scp. So everything has to be converted to gzip or plaint tar, first. You can copy it onto the device with another USB device; I copied it to an alternate HTTP - Dir and used wget instead.
Another problem was, that the device doesn't have "chroot" available. But it's available within the "armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi" - stage3 under "bin/chroot", so you can easily issue "/mnt/gentoo/bin/chroot" (or where else you are working in) to change the root.
Once inside the chroot, you've to set the PATH variable by hand:

Code:
export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.4


That's how far I get, yesterday. I'll inform you about my further progress with this - I think that the kernel might get difficult to build, since this is my very first ARM architecture ...

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Gentoo on Alternative Architectures as it fits better here.

Hi b0nafide,

this is totally awesome! Thank you a lot for the link! :) Especially the tipp, that this device seems to not have a RTC and time/date has to be set very soon in the startup process would have caused me a serious headache ... ;)

I'll try the guide; currently I'm stuck with the fact, that I won't use a statical IP but DHCP, which has to be set early during bootup somehow .. but I guess I'll find something :)

You're welcome. I confess I've got debian running on it now just to test-drive it.

However, gentoo is my ultimate plan... it will be my first ARM-based gentoo and I am approaching it with caution. At the moment I am learning as much as I can about uboot so I don't mess anything up when my kernel is ready.

Hi guys,

i also have managed to run gentoo on the seagate dockstar. I'm posting my kernel config and make.conf to make it easier for everybody to setup a new system. Feel free to correct any of my errors.
Code:
#CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=armv5te"
#CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

#CFLAGS="-Os -march=armv5te -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
# doesn't work with gcc-4.4
#CFLAGS="-Os -march=armv5te -mtune=marvell-f -funit-at-a-time -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
# possibly makes things worse
CFLAGS="-Os -march=armv5te -mtune=xscale -funit-at-a-time -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++0x -fvisibility-inlines-hidden ${CFLAGS}"
# Use one of the CXXFLAGS below if an ebuild won't compile with the above CXXFLAGS
#CXXFLAGS="-fvisibility-inlines-hidden ${CFLAGS}"
#CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,--sort-common"
