[Archived] Initial Linux release from ayufan (0.6.XX)

[pfeerick]

Ok, so I've just tried the latest 0.6.45 image, and I'm getting what sounds similar to your problem... but I didn't have it with the 0.6.44 arm64 image (i.e. bionic-containers-rockpro64-0.6.44-239-arm64.img.xz)

Failing 0.6.45 boot => https://pastebin.com/fimpKEaf

Working 0.6.44 boot => https://pastebin.com/wMiyMEx5

Yes I am getting that error with all builds including the newest 6.45

All night I have been trying to get a serial dump and I have had no success with two usb serial adapters. I only can get garbage on the terminal.

picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0 is the command im using. It works for all other serial devices but I can't get information from the rockpro64.

I get garbage on the terminal when I power up the board until around 1.8/2.0 seconds into the initrd boot process, but when it reboots it is fine (I get all the output then), so maybe it's something not set initially re: timing 

Either way, for the moment I can't reproduce your fault on an earlier image, and I'm guessing one of the changes in 0.6.45 will have to be reverted or tweaked - looks like ayufan's trying to get the GPU drivers up and running...

HI

Warning!


Even when starting my linux based Picocom V1.7 with cli option -b 150000. It will not run... says baud rate not supported.

I am having limited success with minicom, after about 30 hours struggling with putty,  this works sometimes, more often  it fails, but I can see some valid info on the boot process.

The only distro I have found to boot  even  part way is the stretch image. this never gets to the linux prompt,   it stops at different points in the boot flow.

What was very exciting on stretch was that this blinding white led lit up for the first time showing the board had some signs of lfe!

Frankly, I feel that I need to put the rockpro board in a cupboard for some weeks and only get it out when things are more stable, nothing seems repeatable at the mo.

**I have good reliable serial output now** edit**

My linux distro comes with picocom 3.1 and I get "terminal ready" when I use the command "picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0". (I get weird question mark characters and sometimes little square boxes with dots inside them but never any readable text)
After trying two usb to serial adapters on my laptop I tried an odroid and rpi but they had pico 1.7 and gave that same error about baud rate not supported. 
Im having a good time messing around with it. You can try the android build from the pine64 website if you want too see how fast the rockpro64 is.

Sorry, I should have updated my version of picocom!  will do shortly.

I  have  had problems down loading any iso from the git hub repository, and today it is impossible. D/l gets cancelled randomly and I cannot resume.  I am in the UK.

How do you fing the download of the iso's?

cheers

Hi,

I d/l'd the android build with NO problems! Android runs OK, but no ethernet working.

I compiled a new version of pico com and that runs ok at 150000, however it takes a couple of seconds to sort out the output and start printing readable characters, but from then on it is ok.

I find I have to pull the power jack to reboot the reset button kills the running image but it won't reboot without pulling the power  jack

Still I feel more optomistic now that I can see the board is working and is not a DOA

cheers
