we understood it yesterday
Hahaha ā¦ nah, most of those things are probably illegal here.
They teach cops here Pain Compliance Techniques. Iām really glad my she has not been trained in that way, though she has figured out a few of her own.
Seriously though, I kid, there is no violence here, just figurative.
is threatening to throw you SBCās in the trash one such method ?
buddy, donāt say such scary words
Fortunately it has never come to something as drastic as that. Throw out my SBCs, no way, Iād rather take the skilleting.
sorry, I have faced such cruel words, it has been in my memory ever sinceā¦
is it brandishing, throwing or poking your belly style ?
By the way, guys, the technical forum, we deviated a little from the topic, otherwise penalties may apply to us
Yes, I agree, we have gone from answering @mzb69 real question to explaining how people wifeās are poking themā¦
let us go back to the topicā¦
OK, well Iāve taken a closer look at VIM3L.OPENWRT.19.07.3.v0.7.servers.sd.img.gz and it seems to me, by comparing it to VIM3L.OPENWRT.19.07.2.v0.62.servers.sd.img.gz that it doesnāt contain any dtb files!
Maybe it works in a different way, and/or Iāve misunderstood?
The other 19.07.3 images seem to have the same issue (missing files).
Either way, I canāt get this image to give any signs of life, on any card, any combination of cables, or any magic iteration of button-pushing ā¦ let alone a successful boot.
How about older version ?
Hyphop does the maintenance of OpenWRT images, he should answer any queries you haveā¦
as Hyphop said, OpenWrt looks stable for vim1 Krescue, and there are currently issues with vim3 Krescue
plz wait !!!
last openwrt images have some problems ! i try to fix it
for all devices !
OK! bootup bug fixed!
all openwrt was updated just now !
i have check all variants for booting openwrt for VIM3 all must works at this moment
- coreelec emmc + openwrt sd - OK
- coreelec emmc + openwrt usb - OK
- openwrt emmc - OK
PS: re-download openwrt images and write it again!!!
PSS: i still cant make announce for last openwrt images because still testing them - and looks like its will finished be very soon
thanks, very promptly!
@hyphop OK, thanks
Iāve tried:
- Install CoreElec to eMMC, and then boot OpenWRT off SD/TF with new image from 20200715 (I wish youād bump a minor version number!)
=> No boot to SD, just blank screen with flashing cursor at top left, immediately after the Khadas logo. - Install OpenWRT to eMMC, and then boot CoreElec off SD/TF using image from CoreElec.org
=> No boot to SD
#2 being my preferred option, being the normal use case. Iām not sure if this is relevant, but Iāve not noticed āScript wrong headerā before when attempting to boot CoreElec on SD.
Iāll keep looking
ps: yeah, the glare on my screen IS bloody annoying, isnāt it?
[EDIT1]
OK, with VIM3x.COREELEC.9.2.2.emmc.kresq installed, I rebooted into Krescue from TF and selected āsetup boot from SDā
Iām not sure if that made a difference, but I was then able to boot from CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.3-Generic.img from TF.
Then, using Krescue, I installed the new image of OpenWRT to eMMC ā¦ which booted fine, but I was then UNABLE to boot CoreElec from TF.
Iāve noticed the ** Script wrong header **
error a number of times now.
Should I be reinstalling uboot, or something?
[EDIT2]
For sanity, I used Krescue to erase eMMC (fast). Still unable to boot CoreElec from SD, but Krescue from SD ok.
[EDIT3]
And now, for giggles, Iāve used KRescue to install VIM3x.COREELEC.9.2.2.emmc.kresq. I chose āPower Offā, swapped the Krescue SD card for the card with CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.3-Generic.img (note the version difference!) and then pressed power to be welcomed by:
I unplugged power and plugged it back again, same result! ā¦ DEFINITELY boots off SD with CoreElec on eMMC, DEFINETELY WONāT boot off SD when (yesterdayās image of) OpenWRT installed.
PS: to clarify: when I talk about SD/TF installs Iām referring to the SD slot on the card, NOT SD+USB (even if there is no ātechnicalā difference). I do NOT have a USB/SD reader that I trust other than a multi-card USB3 device which is NOT suitable for this kind of thing. OK, I did have a reader that worked, but itās reliability slowly reduced from over-heating ā¦ but thatās another LONG story!
CONCLUSION:
Sorry @hyphop still something wrong with OpenWRT images.
Could it be that Iāve installed the wrong image with Krescue?
(This is where a version bump would help!)
Iāll try a few more experiments.
fbb3b8b9e3994f6242de2b17b2cfb0aa VIM3L.OPENWRT.19.07.3.v0.7.servers.sd_20200715.img.gz
<<== definitely the correct image, just doesnāt work for me
Verified the eMMC image and copied it to the Krescue SD card:
Booted into Krescue and burned the image
Selected reboot and hot-removed the SD card:
All kinds of broken? *sigh
Yeah, sorry ā¦ Iāve not found or fixed the problem, and if I donāt start working on the house lights the Missus wonāt be impressed. Later!
Any ideas on this @hyphop ?
[UPDATE]
OK, to summarise:
-
OpenWRT 19.07.3.v0.7 will not boot from SD with another system installed to eMMC (eg. Ubuntu-gnome-focal or CoreElec 9.2.2). If eMMC boot is subsequently erased using Krescue then OpenWRT 19.07.3.v0.7 is able to boot.
-
With CoreElec 9.2.2 installed on eMMC, it is still possible to boot Krescue or CoreElec 9.2.3 from SD. I didnāt test with Ubuntu-gnome-focal on eMMC.
-
OpenWRT 19.07.3.v0.7 installed to eMMC from Krescue does not boot, whether installed by Krescue or install2mmc_from_sd script (which doesnāt appear to work, but the script it calls does appear to function) when eMMC boot is cleared and booted from OpenWRT 19.07.3.v0.7 on SD.
-
Minor correction to #1 is that OpenWRT 19.07.3.v0.7 WILL boot from SD if OpenWRT 19.07.0.v0.6 is installed to eMMC!
hi i have other results
write coreelec to emmc via Krescue mega script (u can use any other krescue installation ways )
curl -jfL dl.khadas.com/.mega | sh -s - -Y -X VIM12.COREELEC.9.2.2.emmc.kresq > /dev/mmcblk1
write openwrt to sd - linux way
curl -L dl.khadas.com/Firmware/openwrt/VIM1.OPENWRT.19.07.3.v0.7.servers.sd.img.gz | gzip -dc | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX
PS: try another SD cards - sometime its a reason of problem
PSS: i have check it for VIM1 VIM3ā
PSSS: i will check ubuntu later
Iāve almost finished working on lights for missus (itās actually a never-ending task!), and Iāve got new SD cards, readers and USB sticks on their way. Iāll test your results then.
@hyphop @mzb69 have you been able to pinpoint the reason behind the intermittent boot from Ī¼SD? Iām seeing a similar issue where sometimes my VIM3L will boot from eMMC, even though Ī¼SD is installed and valid. Press the R button and it will successfully boot from the card.
If I were to venture a guess, Iād say it appears ānot to seeā the Ī¼SD card on the first boot after applying power and/or inserting the card (I always power down and unplug when swapping cards, so canāt distinguish).
