Edge_Ubuntu-server-bionic_Linux-4.4_arm64_SD-USB_V0.8.3-20200110

Please describe your issue below:

Hello,
I have an Edge-V device. I have used etcher to write Edge_Ubuntu-server-bionic_Linux-4.4_arm64_SD-USB_V0.8.3-20200110 image on a usb device. I can not boot into the usb. It automatically boots into factory-installed android. I have not altered the device and the pre-installed image in any way.

How can I boot into USB?
The documentation on Edge-V only guided through imaging the USB and says nothing about changing the boot order.

I had a break through, I used

kedge# usbboot usb 0

but I’m getting this error:

Loading from usb device 0, partition 1: Name: usbda1  Type: U-Boot
BUG at drivers/usb/host/xhci-mem.c:37/xhci_flush_cache()!
BUG!

What I have done and do not know if this is the correct way to do this. Use Krescue on SD and boot from it.

Do a full erase of EMMC with krescue, if you want to install into emmc do so using the wizard.

If you intend to run from external USB device, ssd, thumbrive use Raspberry pi imager and burn the image. In pi imager go into custom OS and go to your .gz image downloaded from dl.khadas.

Be sure to install the SD image not the version for emmc.

Not sure what the issue is with android, it does not want to let users remove it without a fight.

Thanks for your response. I have successfully loaded an image from SD card. Its USB that looks problematic.
If you see the logs, there is an output indicating a BUG. I believe something is wrong with U-Boot and right now I’m trying to build u-boot.bin.

5

I have used AndroidTool_Release_v2.71 to write Edge_Ubuntu-server-focal_Linux-5.7_arm64_SD-USB_V0.9.1-20200602 to emmc. Now my uboot version is:

examining the script:

	if test -e mmc ${devnum}:${emmc_root_part} zImage; then
		setenv imagetype "EMMC";

Apparently there is no option for USB! Only for emmc or SD.

What type of device are you using ssd or stick?

8

I’m using stick. USB 3.

In boot.scr we only check for 2 possibilities in those ifs:

if test ${devnum} = 0;

and

else if test ${devnum} = 1;
9
10

Just so we can get on the same page.
Do a full erase of the USB stick
Use Pi imager to install Ubuntu desktop SD version.
Let Pi imager installer verify the image before proceeding forward.
Do you have a different USB stick to use, we did find one brand has one that did not work on our boards.

FYI the Pi Imager works perfectly on Ubuntu OS x86 or ARM, it does have issues with Win 10 version. Some times it works fine others not so fine.

It does appear that it is finding the USB drive

My assumption would be data corruption??? Possibly an issue with the USB stick?

Hi. Thank you so much for caring. In my previous message I have quoted from a thread regarding the same issue. Apparently you need for example uboot that comes from armbian image in sd card. Then writing uboot from SD card to emmc. With that U-Boot you can boot from USB. I have done this and I was successful. The downside is you will loose KBI.
