Can't boot bpi-r3 after system upgrade #12

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-11T20:17:52Z

I am using a debian 12 image created with your tool.

./buildimg.sh bpi-r3 bookworm

After a system update and upgrade I am not able to boot the system anymore.

I am getting:

## Error: "initrd" not defined
PARTITION_CONFIG only exists on eMMC
sd available
jedec_spi_nor spi_nor@0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: ff, ef, aa
Failed to initialize SPI flash at 0:0 (error 0)

fit=bpi-r3.itb
** No partition table - mmc 0 **
Couldn't find partition mmc 0:5

Any advice?

Try poweroff, there is a strange issue where sdcard isn't detected in uboot (or nvme in linux) after software reboot

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-11T20:28:26Z

Thanks for the quick reply. Power cycled the BPi R3. I am getting the same issue.

This is the output of

Was my image on this card before? Was it completely written? You could try sgdisk fix from my wiki

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-11T22:22:50Z

Was my image on this card before?

Yes it worked for quite some time, then I updated and upgraded the system, rebooted and got the error.

Was it completely written?

I assume yes.

You could try sgdisk fix from my wiki

Doing it now. First thing I noticed is that there are a few errors associated with /dev/sde

Question
Which wiki are you referring to?

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-11T22:35:06Z

I run gdisk on /dev/sde to fix the problem with no luck. Could you point me to the wiki you were referring to?

i found an answer to an old post where you mentioned sgdisk.

Let r3 off for some minutes, that helped me always (but i had it rarely). Which vendor of sdcard do you use?

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-12T13:06:51Z

SanDisk 128 Gb. I left it overnight, I turned it on, it worked.

Then I added mt7915e entry in the/etc/modules file rebooted. Dead again.

I just cannot work with it. There must be something wrong

frank-w · 2024-08-12T17:24:24Z

Of course something is wron,but i guess it is different clock config between linux and uboot...but i did not found it and have this issue really rarely,so can't reproduce/force it for deeper digging

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-12T19:42:54Z

I’m in the process of creating a new image to see if the issue can be reproduced. After running the command $./buildimg.sh bpi-r3 bookworm .

I’m currently writing the image with the following command:
$ gunzip -c bpi-r3_bookworm_6.6.45-main.img.gz | sudo dd bs=1M status=progress conv=notrunc,fsync of=/dev/sde

I will provide an update once the write operation is complete. If there’s anything I should be doing differently, please let me know.

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-12T19:50:58Z

Really wait till all data is written...e.g. calling sync

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-12T20:04:00Z

Running the gunzip and dd command again. I will leave it as it is.

I will update the comment when done

frank-w · 2024-08-12T20:38:16Z

Gpt looks right...are the switches on board on right position and card correctly inserted? Your output is only bootrom...not even bl2 is found so strange...this is part of the base image which is downloaded from my uboot repo and should be ok

frank-w · 2024-08-12T20:38:59Z

You can try do a hexdump of first 1M of your card which should show a sdmmc header in the first bytes

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-12T22:49:51Z

are the switches on board on right position and card correctly inserted?

Yes, double checked. Switched are all up.

You can try do a hexdump of first 1M of your card which should show a sdmmc header in the first bytes

I wasn't sure how to check the sdmmc header with hexdump.

I tried this approach:

sudo hexdump -C -n 1048576 /dev/sde | grep -C 50 'sdmmc'

I’ve ordered some new micro SD cards and will give it another try once they arrive.

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-21T16:01:15Z

I ve tried with three brand new sd cards. Same error.

sudo fdisk -l returns:

This is normally no problem. It is caused by image uses fixed size of underlying storage and so it does not match the device you flash image to...

Also there is normally a backup gpt at the end of the disk which also causes similar warnings and can be corrected with sgdisk

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-22T04:28:15Z

Changed microSD adapter, microSD reader and computer. Now I am getting the following and the system boots. I ll use it for a few days and eventually mark the issue as Solved.

Looks like a rabbit hole

frank-w · 2024-08-22T07:35:42Z

Powerdown and wait some few minutes...

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-22T07:37:04Z

Waited one minute. It is booting up.

frank-w · 2024-08-22T07:38:01Z

You can look for mmc info when having this ...i had it not very often but saw mmc controller was only 1bit instead of 4...i guess clocks are different in linux/uboot but they looked same...with newer uboot we make clocks same and using linux dts...only need to solve the overlay build problem in uboot

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-22T07:43:44Z

If this approach proves to be consistently reliable and stable, I'm okay with closing the issue. However, I'm genuinely interested in helping to resolve this problem for good, as I've become quite invested in this repository and your work. Since it seems like I can reliably reproduce the issue, please let me know how I can assist in finding a permanent solution. I'm eager to collaborate and help out in any way I can.

GiovanniBalestrieri · 2024-08-22T07:44:34Z

Thank you for the detailed explanation! To help solve this, I'll start by consistently reproducing the issue and documenting when the MMC controller switches to 1-bit mode. I'll also compare the clock settings between Linux and U-Boot as you suggested.

If there's anything specific you'd like me to look into regarding the overlay build problem in U-Boot or other areas, please let me know. I'm eager to help out and work together to resolve this issue once and for all.

I have a limited understanding of the components involved in this issue. I need some guidance

frank-w · 2024-08-22T08:00:51Z

I'm also not deep enough in these things and had the issue not often enough to trace it to its root

If you deep enough in makefiles...i have uboot to build the dtbo with of_upstream and want the fdtoverlay call now to merge defined dtbo to base dt

https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot/commits/2024-07-bpi-ofupstream-all/

Used some code from linux,but it requires targets for dtbo i do not have as thes compiled without target (there is no makefile listing all dtbo,i compile all for current soc)

In this file you see what i do for dtbo (disabled the fdtoverlay command to fix build for now)

frank-w/u-boot@3d1b891

Which is defined here:
frank-w/u-boot@f44a0d8

I just want to call fdtoverlay with basedt and all dtbos from config option
