Booting Quartz64 Model B - Jojo120120 - 06-25-2022 Hello, I'm new with setting up a Linux distribution on a board. After receiving my two Quartz64 I tried to flash several images on a microSD and afterwards tried to boot the board. Additionally I have connected a 24" monitor on the HDMI Port, a LAN-cable at the ethernet adapter, a power adapter (12V 3.5A 42W) and mouse & tastatur at the USB-ports. But it seems there isn't even a booting sequence, my monitor doesn't show any command line and only the power LED is shining blue. I tried to press the power button several times but nothing seems to work. BAT_Jumper is sticked on the board too. I tried the following OS:
I looked through several posts in this forum but couln't find an answer. From my understanding I should see at least a command line even if the OS isn't set up yet. I tested everything with both Quartz64 to exclude the possibility that there is a boot error or any defect with my board. Since I never have set up a board before, am I doing something fundamentally wrong?

Thank you that worked fine for me! My quartz64b has booted finally Do you have any explaination why all other official supported OS didn't work for me but for others? RE: Booting Quartz64 Model B - igorp - 07-07-2022 > Do you have any explanation None. RE: Booting Quartz64 Model B - ryankurte - 07-15-2022 i'm having the same struggle getting the model B to boot! i tried both manjaro and arch instructions from the wiki with no luck... manjaro failed with a null pointer deref during boot, and with arch the processor tried to self immolate / burn a hole in my desk. > Thank you that worked fine for me! My quartz64b has booted finally since there isn't a model b image, which one did you use?

You were probably using the wrong device tree, Arch's kernel package doesn't yet have a Model B device tree so you'd have to bring your own. I've just received my Model B so I'll look into updating the Arch instructions for it and provide a pre-compiled device tree. Edit: Updated the Arch instructions on the wiki for the Model B RE: Booting Quartz64 Model B - ryankurte - 07-16-2022 Quote:> You were probably using the wrong device tree, Arch's kernel package doesn't yet have a Model B device tree so you'd have to bring your own. amazing, thanks for you help! the `dtb` certainly gets me further (and no longer has the thermal problems). i'm trying to boot from SD without an eMMC fitted and seeing a bunch of errors configuring `mmc0` at different speeds (which makes sense because there's no eMMC), but then can't find the `rootfs` partition (by label or UUID) like it's stopped talking to the SD card too... Code: [ 1.024380] mmc_host mmc0: Bus speed (slot 0) = 150000000Hz (slot req 150000000Hz, actual 150000000HZ div = 0) RE: Booting Quartz64 Model B - t4_4t - 07-17-2022 It is reported that the 'sd-uhs-sdr104' configuration does not work. See the following thread:: Manjaro Image June 2022 https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=16790 Bullet64's site has an introduction to the git-hub on this subject We recommend that you check the 'dtb' you used and if it corresponds to the above, change it to 'sd-uhs-sdr50' and try again. If that doesn't work, try 'sd-uhs-sdr25' -> 'sd-uhs-sdr12'... or even lower. RE: Booting Quartz64 Model B - CounterPillow - 07-17-2022 Oh right, the SD card thing. (I didn't notice as I tested on a slow SD card) Try this dtb, if it works I'll replace the one on the wiki: https://overviewer.org/~pillow/up/5f1fabef1b/rk3566-quartz64-b.dtb Edit: I put that on the wiki as it booted for me so doesn't make things any worse. Edit2: Ordered a fast SD card to see if I can reproduce the original issue, and then will upstream the fix for this if I can and can confirm lowering the speed to 50 fixes it reliably. RE: Booting Quartz64 Model B - ryankurte - 07-17-2022 thanks again for all the assistance! that gets me further (up to mounting the file system), with another kernel panic: Code: :: performing fsck on '/dev/mmcblk0p5' i would think if the `fsck` succeeds the SD card / interface is okay, but will try with another cleanly formatted card in case it's some error in the copying over Edit: swapped SD cards (from a 10MB/s SDHC UHS class 1 to a 30MB/s SDXC UHS class 3), setup -exactly- the same (i wrote a script) and now we _seem_ to be up and running |
