1	Hardware and U-Boot firmware / Hardware / How can I fix Device 0 bad blocks / bad magic number error	on: August 08, 2009, 11:42:53 AM
Hi, everyone. I recently got my sheevaplug (yesterday) and immediately set to SSH'ing in (which was very easy) and then I wanted to change the U-BOOT to boot from an SD card. I go through this tutorial: http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SD_Card_As_Root_File_System Along the way I notice that the mini USB plug is very easy to knock out and accidentally interrupt the serial connection. Everything is working, I'm booting from the SD card but my NAND isn't showing in the df test and I can't mount it. This is kind of concerning but I go ahead and commit the changes to uboot because everything else seems to be working. After I saveenv and reset, I get the NAND: ECC error. I go to the forums and try a number of things. Now I'm here and nothing I do seems to change this: Code: Marvell>> boot NAND read: device 0 offset 0x100000, size 0x400000 Reading data from 0x4ff800 -- 100% complete. 4194304 bytes read: OK ## Booting image at 00800000 ...

These are awesome photos. I can't wait to get mine and set it up. Hopefully it will be tucked back into a corner of my closet.

Quote from: pc2000 on June 24, 2009, 05:54:36 PM Ordered mine 17 May, not yet shipped. I sent an email today, and got a generic sounding response about 4 weeks delivery (uhh..). Apparently the next batch is expected 10 July. Dang that is a bummer. I ordered mine a couple days ago. Looking forward to the usual- BitTorrent, Samba, LAMP. I also want to do some auto transfer stuff. I think it would be nice if when my Dad puts photos on his HDD at his place they automatically get sent to mine too.

Quote from: tony.p.lee on June 06, 2009, 06:36:56 AM Nice article. I did it a little bit differently. I share the /share directory from Samba and use the udevd and couple of shell scripts to mount and umount usb and sdcard in a sub directory under /share. This way, when I plug and unplug the device, the usb partitions and the SDCard partition will magically shows up in the /share. I will post those scripts when I find it. That is awesome. Can we see these scripts?

What is funambol? Is it just push email?

6	General Category / Application ideas and development Q/A / I'm making a plug computer app for media sharing	on: June 24, 2009, 03:02:30 PM
Hi everybody- I'm a product designer and I'm creating an application for plug computers. I'm working on an easy-to-install-and-use application that will let users access, share and talk about their data (kind of like pogoplug but way better). I think cloud hosting is cool but there are things I will only store on hard drives that I physically own, plus there's some really cool things you can do with an always-on computer that consumers have never had access to until plug computers. I think that plug computers are going to be very popular in the future and widespread. They fit a lot of major trends and if more easy-to-use applications are created (easy to use like pogoplug- but net sharing a hard drive is boring and obvious to me) then it could really spark interest in the physical device. My expertise is 9 years visual and interaction design and 3 years as a product designer working on product/design strategy at a major design consultancy in san francisco. I think I can provide design and project management. I'd like to meet some programmers who are as psyched about this device as I am. Things I like about a plug computer: -inexpensive -low profile -always on -extensible, standardized and open -at my home and NOT a 3rd party service Hurdles I see in consumer plugcomp applications: -technically difficult to install and maintain -value is unclear to consumers but definitely there So anyway I'd love to hear your suggestions and thoughts and I'll post documentation/wireframes as soon as I can.
