RN516 - Boot Loop after power outage
Hi, I have a Readynas 516 thats now stuck in a boot loop after a power outage. The box starts up, displays Welcom on the LCD, the touchpad lights up, then it reboots, the cycle is around 2-3 seco...
I've managed to connect to the UART on the back, Can anyone confirm the pinouts on the 516? Ive currently found pins 1 & 2 to be TX and RX
Using Putty im receiving the following:
"ERROR: Type:2; Severity:80; Class:3; Subclass:2; Operation: 1000"
Any ideas as to what the error message is pointing to?
Is there a document available anywhere that lists the error codes for the readynas 516?
Thanks for the ping, StephenB.
Hi Diggers,
Based on the error message, it looks like an error with the software, specifically its PEI Core.
Not quite sure though if that's the main cause of the issue, that being said, are there any other logs when you were connected via Putty?

Unless "PEI" has some unique meaning here, it's "Pre EFI initialization", which is a BIOS function prior to it even looking for something to boot from. PEI Core is typcially before it even checks memory. But maybe it's saying that's the last thing that did complete, and it is a memory issue.
