Making Fenix images in Github

RKroells · February 21, 2021, 1:56pm

And after full-upgrade i checked… Watchdog is causing error on EMMC install

RKroells · February 21, 2021, 1:58pm

Install as compressed image and flashed via krescue to emmc

Also after installation of openhabian something gets overwritten so that the device will not boot up anymore… As if bootloader breaks…

The official ubuntu server image is stable but missing fenix-full-upgrade. . .

Basically its no more fun, I have flashed so many different image and always face new bugs.

OK. I found you use the minimal image I checked above is server whith works well. And I checked the minimal image, yes, the same issue as yours. I need to check why watchdog auto enabled.

What’s the mean of missing fenix-full-upgrade ?

numbqq · February 22, 2021, 3:22am

I have fixed the watchdog issue. You can update the code and rebuild the image again. I checked on my side with minimal image, it works.

RKroells · February 22, 2021, 6:15am

I will not waist any more time to yet again rebuilt an image.

I’m as if now running the minimal khadas images with disabled watchdog.

Please apply the fix to the next full upgrade so that watchdog will NOT cause any further BOOTLOOPs

For all images my default procedure after first root login is

apt update
apt full-upgrade… Enter to keep default settings
passwd
passwd khadas
reboot

systemctl disable watchdog

after this I install nginx + cerbot + unbound + pihole + openhabian

So all well tested apps that run flawless on a raspberry or rock from my experience, that never destroyed boot setup, making the device useless

See VIM3/VIM3L Ubuntu 20.04 Linux 4.9 V1.0-210112 OTA Release - #23 by prozor

Officially website ubuntu image doesn’t have the fenix-full-upgrade file.

Only the same khadas version. . . . This is strange.

Where ? On there ? dl.khadas.com - Index of /firmware/vim3/ubuntu/

I checked this image on my side.

Before Update:

khadas@Khadas:~$ cat /etc/fenix-release

khadas@Khadas:~$ 
khadas@Khadas:~$ which do-fenix-full-upgrade 
/usr/local/bin/do-fenix-full-upgrade

Update the System

khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo apt update
khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo apt full-upgrade 
khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo do-fenix-full-upgrade 
khadas@Khadas:~$ sudo reboot

Reboot the board.

After Update

khadas@Khadas:~$ 
khadas@Khadas:~$ cat /etc/fenix-release

No matter before update or after update the file do-fenix-full-upgrade always exist.

Why you said do-fenix-full-upgrade does not exist ?

RKroells · February 22, 2021, 9:07am

I didn’t do this extra sudo do-fenix-full-upgrade

So once rebooted this file will disappear.

RKroells · February 22, 2021, 9:08am

I just checked the Khadas version, its also gone there , only see
fenix-build-time

numbqq · February 22, 2021, 9:29am

I also checked don’t execute do-fenix-full-upgrade, still work well.

Are you sure you only do the following steps without any other steps?

Flash https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/VIM3/Ubuntu/EMMC/VIM3_Ubuntu-server-focal_Linux-4.9_arm64_EMMC_V0.9-20200530.7z
Update
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt full-upgrade
- sudo reboot

After reboot, the file will disappear ???

numbqq · February 22, 2021, 10:05am

So you install some other packages after upgrade right ?

If so, please don’t do this to check the file.

RKroells · February 22, 2021, 10:35am

to make it easier, can`t I just not obtain the require do-fenix-full-upgrade files in case it got removed from other install?

I just what to try the NPU demo this comming weekend.

numbqq · February 22, 2021, 10:39am

I found the issue that it is caused by openhabian.

You must install it any way?

Of course you can. If you don’t install openhabian everything works well.

I will try to fix openhabian installation issue.

If you just want to try the NPU demo, you just need follow these steps, no need to do anything else.

Hi,

I did all the steps and now seeing below screen… is this ok?

Main.yml was edited as advised:

(Not full screen, there is more code below it as well.)

you can disable the uneccesary ones (except Build Firmware which we are using), for example:
click on Test Build Debian and click on the 3 dots to the side:
