1.1 brew install https://raw.github.com/carlesso/upslug2/master/brew_formula/upslug2.rb

UpSlug2 works well with Mac OS X. The easiest way to install it on a Mac is using MacPorts, Fink or HomeBrew; all of them will automatically handle all dependencies.

If you need the source or want to compile by yourself, the source can be find here https://github.com/carlesso/upslug2

1.1 fink install upslug2

Installing with HomeBrew? (see page)

1.1 brew install brew install https://raw.github.com/carlesso/upslug2/master/brew_formula/upslug2.rb

1.2 Install UpSlug2 sudo port install upslug2

If you have an ObeseSlug the command to install UpSlug2 will be sudo port install upslug2 +flashmod16

If you have an ObeseSlug? the command to install UpSlug2 will be sudo port install upslug2 +flashmod16

UpSlug2 works well with Mac OS X. The easiest way to install it on a Mac is using either MacPorts or Fink; both will automatically handle all dependencies.

Installing with MacPorts? (version r41, latest from svn)

1.2 Install upslug2 sudo port install upslug2

If you have an ObeseSlug? the command to install UpSlug2 will be sudo port install upslug2 +flashmod16

Installing with Fink (version 0.11)

1.0 fink install upslug2

[ For Fink, upslug2 version 0.11 is available: fink install upslug2 (20080721)]

4.2 Run upslug2 with a command line option to specify your ethernet device, sudo upslug2 -d en0 It should find your NLSU2 and tell you it is ready for upgrade and display its MAC address. If this doesn't find your Slug it means that either you have not put it in upgrade mode successfully, or the network connection between the PC and the Slug is not working.

1.4 Download the UpSlug2 source code upslug2-11.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116564

1.5 Double click on upslug2-11.tar.gz and relocate the folder upslug2-11 to an appropriate location.

1.6 Build the UpSlug2 source

The binary version on SourceForge (mentioned in 2.4 below) is a PowerPC binary and will not work with the Intel binary lipcap. Until a universal binary of UpSlug2 is made available, UpSlug2 will have to be compiled from source for Intel Macs.

2.4 Download and install the UpSlug2 binary package for OS X. [The current version at the time of this writing is 2-11, the file for OS X is named "upslug2-11-osx.tgz"

If your system MTU is not 1500, UpSlug2 may fail with the following error message: Message too long: transmit error N12NSLU2Upgrade9SendErrorE. Therefore, temporarily change your MTU size to 1500. I was using 1492.

4.2 Run upslug2 with no command line options sudo upslug2 It should find your NLSU2 and tell you it is ready for upgrade and display its MAC address. If this doesn't find your Slug it means that either you have not put it in upgrade mode successfully, or the network connection between the PC and the Slug is not working.

This page described how to install UpSlug2 on MacOS X. For basic information about UpSlug2, see its wiki page.

UpSlug2 works well with Mac OS X. You must use/install three pieces of software, the primary one being UpSlug2, and also libpcap, a library needed for UpSlug2 to run, and finally, you need MacPorts, the installation conduit by which you install libpcap. This has been tested on a PPC G5 under Mac OS 10.4.7. The Mac OS X UpSlug2 binary is PPC only while the most recent version of libpcap accessed by MacPorts is an intel binary. Until a universal binary of UpSlug2 is made available, UpSlug2 will have to be compiled from source for Intel Macs (tested on a Macbook Pro running 10.4.9).

Using UpSlug2 to Flash your NSLU2

4.1 Put your NSLU2 into upgrade mode by restarting it with only the ethernet cable connected while holding a paperclip in the reset hole in the back of the NSLU2. When the ready/status light on the front turns red, remove the paperclip. The NSLU2 should now be blinking red.

2.2 Update the available ports for installation by opening up a new terminal window and typing: port sync

Building Upslug2 for operating systems other than Linux

For BSD derived operating systems -including Mac OS X- the source includes support for using libpcap in place of the raw packet interfaces used for Linux. Simply change the configure step:

If necessary install libpcap to make this work - the configure step will fail if you do not already have libpcap installed.

UpSlug2 and OSX

Upslug2 (version 11) can be used on OS X, most easily either via DarwinPorts (gets you libpcap, not upslug2, yet?) or Fink (will shortly bring both, at least in 'unstable').

DarwinPorts: 'sudo port install libpcap' + build upslug2 & use '-d en0'

Note : DarwinPorts needs the libpcap libraries defined as in the Upslug2 README.macos

Fink: 'sudo fink install upslug2'

The following need to be considered:

• libpcap >= 0.9.3 required (use DarwinPorts or Fink)
• use 'sudo' to run the command: sudo upslug2
• running a self-compiled upslug2, use './upslug2' to find the file

If your system MTU is not 1500, UpSlug2 may fail with the following error message: Message too long: transmit error N12NSLU2Upgrade9SendErrorE. Therefore, temporarily change your MTU size to 1500. I was using 1492.

For some reason, upslug2 is not available via fink. So go ahead and grab it directly from sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116564

1.1 Download and install the DarwinPorts software.

1.2 Update the available ports for installation by opening up a new terminal window and typing: ports sync

1.3 Install libcap in the Terminal by typing: sudo /opt/local/bin/port install libpcap

2.1 Download and install the UpSlug2 package for OS X. [The current version at the time of this writing is 2-11, the file for OS X is named "upslug2-11-osx.tgz"]

2.2 After the upslug download archive has been expanded, locate the file named "upslug2" This file needs to be moved to the operating directory of the Terminal.

2.3 Use the Terminal to move the upslug2 file to the /usr/bin/ directory

3.1 Connect your NSLU2 directly to your computer's ethernet port [be sure you have downloaded the flash file for reflashing]

4.1 Reflash your NSLU2 with the UpSlug2 command line

4.2 Put your NSLU2 into upgrade mode by restarting it with only the ethernet cable connected while holding a paperclip in the reset hole in the back of the NSLU2. When the light on the fron turns red, remove the paperclip. The NSLU2 should now be blinking red. Note: on newer slugs, the red might be a darker shade of yellow: orange, not red.

4.3 Open a new Terminal window and type the following command:

So, for example, the command would be typed as:

4.4 let the command run and let the NSLU2 reboot before accessing it via the web interface or attempting to unsling it again.
