Specific Configuration
Interfaces
The default network configuration is:
| Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |

| eth0 | Ethernet port | DHCP |
Crypto Hardware Acceleration
SSH
Connect device to Ethernet port. To prevent automatic updates by cloud engines (which may disable ssh access), use a separate switch or disconnect your router from the internet. If the ssh access was disabled by the automatic cloud engine update service, you need to login there and re-activate ssh.
Find IP address, BE and EF are the last two bytes of the MAC of your device (printed on the bottom of the GoFlexHome)
root@host ~ # ifconfig eth0 169.254.1.0 root@host ~ # nmap -e eth0 -sP $(printf "169.254.%d.%d" 0xbe 0xef) |
Connect to IP address via ssh (root / stxadmin) to see if it works.
Backup
If you want to restore the original firmware at a later point use this guide to make a backup. You need to login to the original firmware via ssh first. Another method beside using "dd" is nanddump. To be on the safe side, you should take a 2nd backup with the nanddump method. Assuming you have a USB Stick or other USB drive mapped via sda - you can try this:
cd /tmp mkdir backup mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/backup wget http://plugapps.com/os/pogoplug/uboot/nanddump chmod +x nanddump ./nanddump -nf backup/mtd0 /dev/mtd0 ./nanddump -nf backup/mtd1 /dev/mtd1 ./nanddump -nf backup/mtd2 /dev/mtd2 umount /dev/sda1
Install OpenWrt into NAND via serial cable and tftp-server
Hit any key to stop autoboot in the uboot and set goflexhome ip, tftp-server ip, set your mac-address from bottom of the machine:
setenv ipaddr '192.168.1.1' setenv serverip '192.168.1.2' setenv ethaddr '00:10:75:xx:xx:xx' saveenv
