[SOLVED] linux-aarch64-5.8.0-1 breaks Rock64

Postby as365n4 » Sun Aug 09, 2020 11:52 am

Hi all,

just did a system update on a Rock64 and the new 5.8 Kernel breaks the installation.
After reboot the board has permanently lit the white and red LED and does not boot-up at all.
To narrow down the issue I re-flashed my eMMC-Module as per alarm Wiki and ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz includes only linux-aarch64-5.7.1-1 so I run again pacman -Syuu to update and linux-aarch64-5.8.0-1 was installed and after shutdown -r now the board went dead again with permanently lit white and red LED. Pressing the reboot button or pressing and hold the reboot button on the board brings no change, board still ends up with white and red LED permanently lit.

Any ideas on how to fix linux-aarch64-5.8.0-1 so that it works on Rock64 ?

My one Rock64v2 board just did this on update. My Rock64v3 boards were fine. I updated the v2 board to use the same u-boot I built from source for the v3 boards and now it works again. My dockerfile for building the arm-trusted-firmware and u-boot are here,

I've run your instructions and got a lot of u-boot* files in the /u-boot directory.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# ls -lh u-boot*

Which one should i flash instead of uboot.img? You've mentioned u-boot.itb, but it does not look like uboot.img (size is too small), original uboot.img is 4.0M long.

Thanks for the help!

I flashed u-boot-rockchip.bin. And it seems, SPL starts, but then nothing happens but error:

Does this look like memory frequency error?

I didn't try to update the kernel myself yet, because I had no time so far.
If you want you can try my PKGBUILD as a template or even release 2020-04-SPL-TPL, but you should save your boot.txt beforehand, because I changed it a bit for myself.
Note: I decrease memory clock in PKGBUILD, because my board wasn't stable at all with the memory frequency (800 MHz) in stock u-boot.

You can find it here

I also want to make a pull request to the repo git already, but was too lazy yet.

Perhaps that's because I removed the non-free blobs from arm-trusted-firmware? My idbloader.img + my u-boot.itb is what is working for me.

Thanks for the tips. But It didn't work for me, even with 5.7.x kernel. The symptom is the same: boot process hangs with message "Starting Kernel ..." What the hell is going on?

I'll try next @ramsey recipe.

I just updated to linux-aarch64-5.8.0-1 with the linke u-boot, everything works fine.
I assume you didn't run mkscr with your original boot.txt

I've run it. But with mkimage from preinstalled uboot-tools 2020.04. May this be a problem?

Or can be the memory frequency be a problem? The stock uboot-rock64 sets the frequency to the 768MHz... May i instead $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sed -i 's/800/600/g' arch/arm/dts/rk3328-sdram-lpddr3-1600.dtsi') use $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sed -i 's/800/768/g' arch/arm/dts/rk3328-sdram-lpddr3-1600.dtsi') ?
