#Serial connection is at J11, left of SD as you face SD opening.
#Pins are 0V, Rx, Tx (moving right to left from SD).
#Do not connect +V pin. Make sure your serial device is 3.3V, not 5V. Baud rate is 115200.

#connect

#remount / as read/write
mount -o remount,rw /

#change root password

#start telnetd or ssh server (both are already there)
#startup script can be found here
#(might want to enable dropbear and telnet and disable pogo services 'hbmgr.sh'):

#now that we have storage, you might want to back things up
#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have not tried restoring flash from dd !!!!!!!!!!!

#install busybox
#root fs is 100MB, so plenty of room
df -h
#busybox wit a lot of tools is already installed
#but there are more tools in busybox we can get

#check architecture
uname -a  #armv5tel

#get busybox binaries
#note that busybox wget doesn't support ssl
#so you won't be able to download directly to the device
https://busybox.net/downloads/binaries/
#once on device make executable and move to /bin
chmod +x busybox
mv busybox /bin/
#link all commands
busybox --list|while read c;do echo $c;ln -s /bin/busybox $c;done

#download a very basic directory indexer I designed
cd /mnt/usb #cd /mnt/sdcard
#again, no ssl at this point

#might want to add this to the startup script


#add to bottom startup script (/etc/init.d/rcS)
#for automounting
#5 second delay is for a slow usb drive (there are better ways for doing this)

#Controlling LED
#http://aaronrandall.com/blog/playing-with-pogoplugs-led/
#many sites will show how to control the LED if you have installed Debian or Arch
#here is how you control it from the default OS
#activate it
insmod /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/xce.ko
#Set the LED to green:
echo "led=con" > /dev/xce
#Set the LED to red:
echo "led=dis" > /dev/xce
#Set the LED to orange:
echo "led=err" > /dev/xce
#Set the LED to flash:
echo "led=msg" > /dev/xce

#############SSH DropBear###########
#The version of Dropbear on this device is old
#it uses an old/less secure encryption that your client might not like
#you can override this on your client side like this
ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@192.168.1.104
#there is no sftp server, but you can scp like this
scp -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 <file> root@192.168.1.104:
