Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - as365n4 - 08-09-2020

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 ?

I've successfully downgraded kernel using qemu-arm-static (from AUR) to chroot from x86_64 laptop into the root filesystem on emmc. But the questions still remain: what is wrong with kernel, and how to fix this?

RE: Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - nsollars - 08-09-2020

Fell into this trap also,  will need to roll back on X86 machine.

RE: Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - t4_4t - 08-10-2020

Probably a boot-loader problem.
I tried using another boot-loader (mainline-base).
As a result, it starts normally as follows.

RE: Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - as365n4 - 08-10-2020

@t4_4t

Which Version of uboot do you use and where to get it from?

Arch ships with --> U-Boot 2018.03-1 (Apr 02 2018 - 19:14:47 -0600) Arch Linux ARM

And it works only on Rock64_V2 as far as I know, as some Users complained it is no good on Rock64_V3 and they found an updated U-Boot for the Rock64_V3.
But I can't remember where they got it from.

RE: Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - as365n4 - 08-10-2020

I had a peek at AUR and there is no U-Boot for Rock64 only for the following boards
Quote:U-Boot for A10 OLinuXino Lime
U-Boot for A10s OLinuXino Micro
U-Boot for A13 OLinuXino

Then I had a poke around at ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
Which are the developers for U-Boot and even in their latest file u-bbot-2020.10-rc1.tar.bz2 there is in the Pine64 subfolder only a makefile for pinebook-pro-rk3399 and rockpro_rk3399 Huh

> Which Version of u-boot do you use and where to get it from ?
https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/commits/master
I made modifications based on the above. (for example, to work in Ver3)

> And it works only on Rock64_V2....Rock64_V3 ?
Board is Rock64_V3.
But, my board cannot operate stably at DDR3=800MHz.
Since it can not be helped, I have lowered it to DDR3 = 666 MHz and used it.

I have changed the boot-loader quite a bit.
So I think my example is useless except this case is likely a boot-loader issue.

Could you share your /boot/boot.scr?

RE: Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - wilsonYan - 08-11-2020

hello

check the kernel bootargs in your boot partition boot.scr


You should see:

earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xff130000




If you see:

earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xff1a0000


That is for the rockpro64 board I think and will cause the kernel to not load like you see there. If that's the case you need to use mkimage to make the appropriate boot.scr or double check that you installed for the rock64 and not the rockpro64, easy mixup to make

RE: Arch Linux Arm --> Kernel 5.8 breaks installation - m.bakhterev - 08-11-2020

This https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=14576 recipe works for me. Kernel starts and system works, as it seems. Some people report, that the rock64 is unstable with memory operating at 800Mhz. But for now my board looks like it is all fine. Memory frequency which u-boot sets can be adjusted as described here https://git.opel-online.de/kabbone/rock64/src/branch/2020.04-SPL-TPL/uboot-rock64/PKGBUILD
