[solved] cubietruck - no next image works - CRC =>pxeboot

[herrmeier]

Hi all, special thanks to Igor for his work and all who are involved,

thank you for reading this,

 

• THE MISSION:

I am trying to install Armbian 5.25 Cubietruck Ubuntu xenial onto a cubietruck v1.0-0606.

 

• THE SITUATION:

My computer I am creating the SD-Card from is:

 

 

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x86_64
Model: 3484JBG ThinkCentre Edge72
Kernel: 4.4.0-62-generic
Uptime: 2 days, 1 hour, 11 mins
Packages: 3307
Shell: bash 4.3.46
Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1080
DE: KDE
WM: KWin
Theme: Breeze
Icons: Emoticonsoxygen
Terminal: konsole
Terminal Font: Monospace 14
CPU: Intel i5-3470S (4) @ 3.6GHz
GPU: Intel Ivybridge Desktop
Memory: 4199MiB / 7807Mi

 

First I tried to copy

Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.9.7_desktop.img

then I copied

root root 2946498560 Feb  5 12:04 Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.0_desktop.img
root root 2942304256 Feb  5 02:43 Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.9.8_desktop.img

 

sudo dd bs=1M if=Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.0_desktop.img of=/dev/sde

sync

 

My cardreader is a

Bus 002 Device 009: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Card Reader/Writer

 

My SD-Card is a

micro SD-Card SanDisk Ultra 16GB with an SD-Card-Adapter

 

• THE OBSTACLE

The message I get is:

*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

 

Then the cubitruck tries to boot from pxe.

 

• THANKS

 

What am I doing wrong. Thank you for your input!

 

with kind regards

 

Hans

What if you use our prebuild images and other writing tool (Etcher) and some other SD card ?

Error only indicates some state of fs corruption while "Warning - bad CRC, using default environment" is normal, ask Google.

Thanks again Igor, this time for your fast reply. Etcher installed in Ubuntu didn't show the SD card. Trying to use etcher using a virtualized win7 hangs at >>starting...<<

Next approach:

change of computers. Now I am using:

----------
 OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS x86_64
 Model: 23923RG ThinkPad T530
 Kernel: 4.4.0-62-generic
 Uptime: 22 minutes
 Packages: 4308
 Shell: bash 4.3.46
 Resolution: 1600x900
 DE: Xfce
 WM: Xfwm4
 WM Theme: Default
 Theme: Raleigh [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3]
 Icons: Elementary-xfce-dark [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3]
 Terminal: x-terminal-emul
 CPU: Intel i5-3210M (4) @ 3.1GHz
 GPU: Intel Integrated Graphics
 GPU: NVIDIA NVS 5400M
 Memory: 3149MiB / 15772MiB

 

with a built in sd card reader...

It seems to work now... I'll keep you posted

Armbian_5.25_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.9.7_desktop.img works

Is there a changelog to what I am missing not using the compiled versions?

 

Thank you!

[Igor]

I have no idea what you did wrong at self compiled - most likely you failed at writing stage. For diagnosing the problem, you need to provide build logs and you need to do more tests, not just one.

 

What hardware you have is pretty much irrelevant - just follow the guideline: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib#how-to-build-my-own-image-or-kernel
