The uboot from doozan is nice because it doesnt overwrite the original pogoplug
software. You can also use the debian stuff fromi think ~tbw ( the ns2)..
Compiling from head works but you need a jtag in case you screw up. I used
another plug so I skipped the xcompile. It works fine. The biggest issue was I
ran out of space on the uboot partition when i started adding stuff like ext4
support. I got bombed with RL so that is where i paused. But changing the
partition addresses are in the uboot config files.
I was using the gurplug jtag and it works but you need to mod the openocd
configs and recompile it with the ftdi drivers and make a cable. The buspirate
jtag is supposed to work too.
Theoretically you can use a serial cable instead of a jtag, but it doesnt
actually work. The jtag works.

So at the moment I can't find the information on doozan.com, but it is
there. For some reason cloud engines used a custom CRC algorithm to
verify the integrity of the uboot environment variables. This has not
been up streamed and is not in the version of uboot-utils that is
shipped with fedora. The update uboot provided by doozan.com keeps this
CRC method intact, I believe as a compatibility reason.
This is 6 month old memory though. I just know that at the time I took
this very seriously and put the warning in the Fedora PogoPlug docs.
