Dear Pine Users,
thank you for providing the discussion group for the ROCK64 platform. I tried to use a custom compiled kernel for several days now. Unfortunately, every attempt results in a system that does not boot.
The most promising way seemed to me the following with a newly installed distribution via Etcher. I took the Ubuntu 18.4. Desktop variant. Then I have executed the following commands on-board:
-----------------
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt -y install cmake build-essential python-minimal bison flex bc libssl-dev libncurses5-dev lzop make u-boot-tools binfmt-support ninja-build libfl-dev python python2.7 swig libpython-dev flash-kernel
sudo reboot
mkdir workspace
cd workspace
git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-m...kernel.git
cd linux-mainline-kernel
make rockchip_linux_defconfig
make -j4
sudo make modules_install
sudo make dtbs_install
sudo make install
-----------------
After this, the platform will not reboot. I just get a black screen. The LEDs of the ROCK64 just light up a few seconds. Then only the green LED remains.
I have checked the file /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
If I remove the entries for the newly installed kernel, the platform boots with the old kernel again (4.4.).
By the way, why do I have /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and /boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf?
I hope, you can give me a hint, what is missing or how I can debug this issue, since I do not see any output, also not from u-boot.
Best regards,
Stefan May
