soft brick with ayufan
#5
Tried on the SD card before yanking the mmc. This on my host computer:


Code:
# start with a manjaro image. (which works for uboot but hangs on splash)
sudo dd if=Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-pbpro-20.12.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 status=progress
# copy the root partition from ayufan buster-containers.
sudo dd if=buster-containers-rock64-0.11.0-1185-arm64.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p2 bs=512 skip=524288 status=progress

I had the same problem, hung at the manjaro splash screen.

So I pulled the emmc and plugged it into my USB stick. And the partition table does NOT look like ayufan buster:

Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 58,24 GiB, 62537072640 bytes, 122142720 sectors
Disk model: STORAGE DEVICE 
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: E96A8F3C-0431-4043-8BFE-2D57A1A4CE67

Device      Start       End   Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1   62500    500000    437501 213,6M Linux filesystem
/dev/sda4  524288 122142686 121618399    58G Linux filesystem
That looks like the Manjaro partition scheme.

So WTF was I dd'ing to when I first tried to flash the emmc with ayufan?!? Was it all just cached because I never ran `sync` ?  That seems really unlikely...  But I checked the source device ID for the root partition, and dd'ed to the other device.

Is it possible that I booted off of some bizarre mix of mounts?  How does uboot decide which partition becomes / ?
