@SteeMan this is supposed to be a remote and unattended system, so I would like to control the updates very carefully in order to avoid breaking anything using apt (it happens sometimes...). I know this is quite a challenge, but frameworks like rauc and swupdate are purposely designed to guarantee atomically and safe system upgrades. I would disable apt unattended system upgrades, protect the rootfs using overlayroot and possibly use rauc to upgrade the systems using a full image. I am also evaluating tools like systemd-repart that may repartition the storage (eMMC, or SD) live.

Hi all, has anyone ever tried to use an atomic firmware upgrade system like rauc or swupdate? https://rauc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://sbabic.github.io/swupdate/swupdate.html I am playing with rauc, in order to do that I have to customize the partitioning of the SD/eMMC: - root1 (4GB) - root2 (4GB) - data (8GB, or remaining space) Can someone suggest how to customize partitioning in such way? I played around setting USE_HOOK_FOR_PARTITION=yes, and hooking the create_partition_table but had no luck. Any hint? Thanks in advance! Andrea

Is it still possible to build just the kernel?
Andrea replied to belegdol's topic in Advanced users - Development
Is it possible just to rebuild the kernel, without fetching kernel updates and reapplying patches? I would find it useful to develop kernel drivers like in a development cycle. -
A custom designed board around H616.

Hi all, is it possible to flash the a board's eMMC via USB from another PC? I already checked this but could not figure out exactly how. Thanks in advance, kind regards

Build fails while compiling ATF ("cannot find cr")
Andrea replied to Andrea's topic in Advanced users - Development
Thanks for the advice! -
Charge pump is a very simple topology of DC-DC switching converter, normally driven by SoC PWMs. I have checked the DT yaml, but could not find anything useful. I found a PWM driver for Allwinner H6, but it does not work (I get error -22, EINVAL when loading the driver module).

Is it possible to rebuild the kernel without reapplying all the patches? -
Hi all, I would like to use the PWM1 in order to drive a charge pump, but I am struggling to enable PWM using the DTB on Armbian v23.11. Anyone succeeded in configuring PWMs in H616? Thanks in advance!

Error executing partprobe during build

I confirm that using an updated kernel (6.7.3) the build succeds. Linux armbian 6.7.3-060703-generic #202401311935 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Feb 1 00:46:47 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thank you very much! -
Error executing partprobe during build

Despite the fact the problem is very similar, I am not using WSL2 to build. I am using a Ubuntu VM : Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-94-generic x86_64) andrea@armbian:~$ uname -a Linux armbian 5.15.0-94-generic #104-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 9 15:25:40 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux User adeepn confirms that it happens also on Ubuntu w/kernel 5.15. I will try to upgrade to 6.1 and let you know. Thanks for the hint -
