Figured I’d start one of these for PIE also to help devs fix bugs more quickly. Please post any bugs you find along with pictures if necessary.
I’ll start.
I’ve fallen at the first hurdle with the first PIE firmware. Burn-tool is up to date, firmware file hash checked out and my board is in upgrade mode, however, the script fails with error message “Download Firmware Fail”
I am unable to flash the new PIE firmware using the previous method in Ubuntu.
I think you will need to enter Maskrom mode after loader mode to flash and also do an EraseFlash since the partitions are different than Nougat and a simple upgrade won’t work as it will still use the Nougat partition layout.
hwc_rk : hwc_get_handle_layername:cann’t get value from gralloc
Abort message: ‘Failed to set damage region on surface 0x774af34c80, error=EGL_BAD_ACCESS’
It seems it’s a Mali EGL Extension(EGL KHR partial update) problem.
Will need to get an updated GPU driver from Rockchip perhaps or somewhere Kodi’s package name is whitelisted perhaps to improve 4K video playback performance and needs to be removed from this list since the improvements conflicts with Kodi’s handling of EGL but not with a different Kodi with another app package name. It also only happens with a 4K display not 1080p.
These are the instructions for Khadas Edge V to flash:
Get a USB C Male to USB A Male cable.
Then connect the USB cable to the top USB C port on Khadas Edge V and the other end to a USB port on your PC(avoid USB Hubs as they can cause problems).
Then press the middle button on the side(Function button) and hold it in, now press the button after it, first button towards you(Reset button), after 2 seconds release the first button.
(This is if the buttons are on the left side and the ports are facing towards you, if the buttons are on the right side and the ports are facing backwards then the 'Reset button is the last on on the right back side)
If you have AndroidTool open on a PC, it will say ‘Found Loader Mode’.
Now do ‘EraseFlash’, it is needed every time if you flash between different Android OS’s, but not the same OS.
Now click ‘Upgrade’.
After it finishes, wait 10 minutes or so before removing the USB cable and unplugging it.
My Edge-V is only showing the kernel logo but does not continue booting with both the Edge_Pie_V190626 firmware and Pie build from the sources. I did an EraseFlash before flashing Pie.
I installed the Edge_Pie_V190626 firmware before and it booted correctly.
Now Android Pie I built from the sources get stuck on the Rockchip kernel logo then the text appears below it and then it freezes on my Khadas Edge V.
I tried several times in MaskROM Mode, EraseFlash and Upgrade but it doesn’t help.
After removing power several times, it boots to Recovery and says system is corrupted, Do you want to erase and try again. I do then it gets stuck again on the kernel logo.
must use a usb-a and usb-c 3.0
usb-c in the usb for edge v power supply, no need to add power.
when the tool is open, three click on the middle button.
the blue led will flash.as explained by khadas.
