VIM3 failing to boot from SD or EMMC

As stated, our VIM3 is no longer booting into Linux correctly. For a while, it was working normally while using the SD card with the EMMC empty and unused. However, I attempted to use the EMMC as additional file storage and upon rebooting I am having memory issues. It seems the DMA memory pool is not being initialized, and I am seeing a line which suggests the DDR size is 0. When I cat /proc/iomem in Linux I also see all options are allocated to 00000000 - 00000000.

I have exhausted many options trying to recover the board, such as completely erasing the EMMC, using official images for both EMMC and SD card, changing power supplies, SD cards, etc. It is worth noting I had created a partition on the /dev/mmcblk0 device which I assumed was the EMMC as it had 14+ GB of space available, and believe this has broken something. I also have tried Krescue on an SD card to erase everything and flash a raw EMMC image on the board but to no avail. I also tried some of the uboot commands such as store erase, init and many others. The only thing I have noticed is that with Krescue when I cat /proc/iomem, devices do seem to be allocated the correct addresses. I have not tried Krescue flashed directly onto EMMC however.

I have attached a log of a full boot with this official image: vim3-ubuntu-20.04-server-linux-4.9-fenix-1.4-221229-emmc.img.xz
This was after using Krescue to erase SPI flash and EMMC flash, supposedly fully. I would like to get the board functioning again, but at this point have no clue how to proceed. Are there any additional things I can try to reset the board to a complete factory default?

@Anthony_McGivern As I understand, you have tried to use the SD card as the boot device with the eMMC as additional storage after which you are now facing issues ?

Thatā€™s correct. Before I never touched the emmc and only relied on the SD card, but I had ran out of space and rather than reflashing my image onto a larger card, I tried to create a partition in Linux on /dev/mmcblk0 and mounted it to store additional files. I assumed this was the EMMC and it appeared to work fine, but after rebooting the board no longer boots correctly.

@Electr1 I have been trying further steps to recover the board and still nothing works. I attempted to use an OOWOW image and reset the board, erase the EMMC and SPI flash, then use the wizard to download and flash an image onto the EMMC. This does not help either. So I then wiped everything and tried using an SD card with an official Ubuntu 20.04 image. This is the log I get from this:

Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS Khadas ttyS0

Khadas login:

This is actually the second VIM3 we have bought, as the USB ports seem to have failed on the first one. However, even now trying the first one seems to be having the same issues. I dont know at this point if it is worth it to RMA this board or if I am missing something. There must be something on either the EMMC or SPI flash that needs to be in place for this to boot correctly, but if there is I do not know what.

@Anthony_McGivern the issue is 4.9 kernel images donā€™t support this functionality. However, with mainline kernel images 5.x/6.x support that functionality you require booting from other disk and to use the eMMC as secondary storage.

If using the mainline image, you can install the bootloader on the spi flash and it will execute the boot order perfectly.

Could you elaborate on this issue ?

@Electr1 So how do I need to configure the board in order to boot the 4.9 kernel images? I have had this image working before without any problems, all I had to do was flash an SD card with the image then erase the eMMC using ā€œstore erase bootā€. However trying this now does not work and shows the same log from my previous post. Note in this case I no longer care about using eMMC as secondary storage as I have a larger SD card.

Also, I ended up purchasing an official Khadas 24W adapter and this doesnā€™t seem to have made a difference. As for the USB ports on the original board, they do not seem to be detected at all, whether or not I plug a device into them. I had to connect a USB-C hub with power delivery pass-through in order to get some USBs to connect a keyboard and mouse to it. I tried different images to get this working but they appear to be broken.

Okay,

I need to test what configurations for the 4.9 kernel images can work with the device and get back to you.

can you provide logs for this, any other information will help to diagnose this issue.
eg. dmesg or lsusb, for before and after connecting the USB devices.

On my working Khadas I would receive logs in dmesg stating when a USB device was connected, however these do not appear on the broken one. In addition, in U-boot I would run ā€œusb infoā€ and receive this log

kvim3#usb info
1: Hub, USB Revision 3.0

lsusb simply shows this

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

On the broken board is the USB device powering up ? Please provide some detailed pictures near the port area, top and bottom of the board of the broken device.

No device appears to receive power. I tested with a keyboard and no lights appear on. Here are images of the top and bottom of the board.


Not entirely sure what has resolved it, but seems like the CMA memory is being allocated correctly. When I view the serial it shows some failures, but once Linux loads and I look at the dmesg I can see it has worked correctly. As for the missing FDT address, when uboot loaded I ran recovery_from_sdcard and that seems to have loaded the correct information into the eMMC.

Finally, it seems I can only view the /proc/iomem info when I am sudo, and simply viewing it as a regular user shows all zeros.

The board boot successully, whatā€™s the issue you have ?

Initially, it appeared that the DMA pool was not being initialized. As I attempted to load the ISP module I was greeted with an error stating it was unable to retrieve reserved memory. I can still see the DMA memory pool error via the serial console, however I can load the driver normally. Upon viewing dmesg I can see it did in fact allocate successfully, so the error must have been for something else. Does the boot log I sent for the SD card image appear normal to you? Note the FDT errors no longer appear, as I called ā€œrun recovery_from_sdcardā€ in u-boot and this seems to have resolved it.

Yes, it is normal, so your issue is gone ?

Formatting the eMMC and booting 4.9 linux image from the SD card, seems to work

Yes, I had tried something similar. However, it seems after a reboot that I was getting errors and had to reflash everything. I now seem to be having an issue with the h264 hardware encoding, as it appears the Gstreamer amlvenc plugin is not working at all. Looking at dmesg, the encoder module seems to fail to reserve memory.

@Anthony_McGivern please migrate to 22.04 images, 20.04 image is not recommended to use.

@Electr1 Ok I will try this. I found the cause of the amlvenc issue anyway. By default, the libvpcodec.so is located in /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu, but a quick GST_DEBUG told me it was looking for it in /usr/lib

I think for now I am going to have to stick to Ubuntu 20.04, as the 22.04 build does not include the Gstreamer Amlogic plugins such as amlvenc, meaning I cannot do hardware H264 encoding. I saw there was a 5.4 Kernel released recently for VIM3, but this image was with Android. If an image becomes available for Ubuntu I will probably switch to that.
