fail to boot from pre-built image

[yuzibo]

Hi,
I am sorry if I am missing something here.
I downloaded the pre-built image and use sudo dd if=lichee_rv_dock_gcc_10.2.1_kernel_d1-wip-v5.18-rc1.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M to flash the image into sd card. But when I try to boot the image from lichee dock, I got:

I think the sunxi's dtb file existed in the image, right?
Any help is very appreciated!

If you press a key to skip auto-boot and then enter the commands manually it will boot, so it seems boot.scr in the image is malformed somehow. You should be able to make a new one with mkimage and copy it into /boot though I haven't tried this yet. https://github.com/tmolteno/d1_build/blob/main/config/bootscr_lichee_rv_dock.txt

@sney hi, many thanks, it works.:)

[tmolteno]

Thanks for these reports. I'm trying to work backwards and fix this. @yuzibo, can you let me know the steps you took to fix?

[yuzibo]

Hi @tmolteno ,
When I stuck in the u-boot stage(as I described above), I just copy these instructions from bootscr_lichee_rv_dock.txt, then the u-boot will load image correctly.
But I reviewed the here again, there should not be no problem here.

@yuzibo does the 0.4.0 release work for you?

@yuzibo does the 0.4.0 release work for you?

hi @romanrm

0.4.0 release works for my lichee rv dock.
I flashed it to a 64GB sdcard(exfat format) using Raspberry Pi Imager burning tool.
All the basic functions of os works well so far. But the serial communication (putty from windows) seems not well enough, lichee rv has no repond to any keyboard input occasionally .
Wireless and hdmi output need to be tested further. Here is the boot log.lichee rv dock reboot log

[romanrm]

Thanks for your report. I was asking because for me with 0.4.0 there is no image on HDMI, and serial console does not accept keyboard input at all.

[yuzibo]

maybe try to flash image with another method. I flashed it failed so ask @sunmin89 to help check the image.
Many thanks.:)

Thanks for your report. I was asking because for me with 0.4.0 there is no image on HDMI, and serial console does not accept keyboard input at all.

1. Yes,there is no HDMI output.
2. I connected the board with a Realtek usb to RJ45 10M/100M adapter(idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8152, bcdDevice=20.00),but the kernel failed to recognize it, that said no ethernet card info showed after executing sudo dmesg | tail -n 30 or ls /sys/class/net/.
3. Wlan works well after configuring it with below command:
   sudo nmcli device wifi connect 'ssid' password 'password'
4. I can't update or install any new package using apt update or apt install XXX.

Hi, I am unable to start using v0.4.2 but able to using v0.4.0, there is no message after Starting kernel ... and then after about 15 seconds it reboots. I am using RV Dock.

[HX2003]

Here are my findings for anyone interested. Using d428c16, with UBOOT_TAG: d1-wip KERNEL_TAG: d1/all. WiFi works. HDMI works (added CONFIG_SUN8I_DE2_CCU to defconfig, did not try without it). CPU frequency is defaulted to 408MHz which explains why its so slow. Coremark score @ 408MHz, 919. Coremark score @ 1008MHz, 2306.

[tmolteno]

Fantastic. Thanks for the feedback!
