Specific Configuration

Interfaces

The default network configuration is:

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)

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:

Install u-boot and OpenWrt into NAND via serial cable and tftp-server

Installation

Prepare on PC

Download files(change the 18.06.2 in the following link into whatever is the last OpenWrt release) https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.2/targets/kirkwood/generic/u-boot-goflexhome/u-boot.kwb

Start tftp-server

Copy files u-boot.kwb, openwrt-18.06.2-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-squashfs-factory.bin to /tmp

Install u-boot

Hit any key to stop autoboot in the u-boot and set goflexhome ip, tftp-server ip, set your mac-address from bottom of the machine:

download from tftp-server u-boot.kwb file to RAM start offset 0x6400000

Seagate Serial Number Warranty

or

Bytes transferred = 607044 (94344 hex)

erase nand start from 0x0 size 0x100000

write nand from RAM start offset 0x6400000 to nand start 0x0 size 0x100000 (1MB)

reboot device

now you are rebooting in the new u-boot

Install OpenWrt

Hit any key to stop autoboot in the u-boot and set goflexhome ip, tftp-server ip, set your mac-address from bottom of the machine:

download from tftp-server file openwrt-18.06.2-kirkwood-seagate_goflexhome-squashfs-factory.bin to RAM start default offset 0x800000

Load address: 0x800000…Bytes transferred = 4063232 (3e0000 hex)

erase nand UBI partition

write nand from RAM start offset 0x800000 to nand UBI partition size 0x3e0000

reboot device

Congratulations!

Upgrading from Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 to LEDE 17.01.4 using SSH and MTD

In version 15.05.01 'sysupgrade' not available for GoFlex Home. Use 'mtd' instead to flash the firmware.Note: This is upgrade instruction from already installed OpenWrt. Also, if you have serial access you can still do the normal installation as above.

• To ssh into the OpenWrt GoFlex Home device.

output:

• Download last firmware release LEDE 17.01.4 to /tmp:

• Check extracted files:
