I saw that You have already compiled your version, but I have a request, check these files to run. I need to make sure they work and you can include them in the Assembly of the image Armbian for s812.

I couldn't get any of the builds to boot the board.

I used the usual approach with the BootcardMaker from @mlogic.

it boots fine with the Android bootloader.img and the one I built from the @mlogic buildroot.

1. If eMMC is missing\faulty\completely erased - in these cases always need u-boot on SD card (run u-boot from a USB drive is possible, but I still know of only one manufacturer, which is implemented Khadas VIM on all the other TV boxes there is only a boot loader for the SD card).

2. All I know of u-boot in update mode have the option of running the script with the default name aml_autoscript.

3. Therefore, it is sufficient to write to the SD card standard u-boot and slip him the right script aml_autoscript (using as a basis a ready skriti s905_autoscript for the desired systems.

 

After recording of the image Armbian scripts aml_autoscript and s805_autoscript used for their own purposes. aml_autoscript is a script activate the multi-boot. S805_autoscript the script is a startup script system from external media.

 

thanks! I'll take a closer look at 'aml_autoscript' upon my return.

2. What exactly You are interested in the script ?

the regular use case for when the eMMC fails on these boards (this is the one requiring intervention) is that we end up with an empty flash, unable to boot.

the preloader is looking for boot code on SD, USB device and serial.

the SD script would have to be prepared in such a way that it sets-up the bootloader to boot from SD each of the OSs: armbian, lakka.tv and LibreELEC.

Armbian uses 'aml_autoscript' and 's805_autoscript' but I didn't observe these to be executed at all.

 

this is the case where we can't rely on the existing Android system to help us boot from SD (since the eMMC is broken).

thanks very much.

I hope is not urgent as I'm travelling for the next couple weeks and can't try them yet.

 

have you any experience with the bootloader script for AMLogic?

I used the following scripts to boot:

- armbian
setenv condev "console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"
setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=ROOTFS rootflags=data=writeback rw ${condev} fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 mac=${mac}"
setenv kernel_loadaddr "0x14000000"
setenv dtb_loadaddr "0x11800000"
setenv initrd_loadaddr "0x15000000"
setenv boot_start bootm ${kernel_loadaddr} ${initrd_loadaddr} ${dtb_loadaddr}

mmcinfo
fatload mmc 0 ${initrd_loadaddr} uInitrd

fatload mmc 0 ${kernel_loadaddr} uImage
fatload mmc 0 ${dtb_loadaddr} dtb/meson8_k200b_2G_emmc_sdhc.dtb

run boot_start

- lakka.tv and LibreELEC.tv
setenv condev "console=ttyS0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0"
setenv bootargs "${condev} bootfromsd"
mmcinfo
fatload mmc 0 ${loadaddr} kernel

bootm
 

I'm thinking these could be used to prep the script for booting from SD.

thanks again!

looks like it is missing some things.

what's the user/pass?

now if I'll only manage to run an image with a desktop..

after I RTFM I managed to log in

tried to boot the xfce image with no luck.

anyway, life it is already better now

scratch that.

it seems the u-boot is fine. managed to start the board with it

-- so, u-boot seems fine there.

there's still a long way to having a system up and running (with XBMC, for example) so I'm still hoping you could help.

let me know if you need any info .

thank you, sir!

I've tried building this one http://openlinux.amlogic.com/wiki/index.php/Arm/Buildroot/buildroot-3.10/buildroot-2015-01-20

after building u-boot (used make meson8_k200b_release_defconfig) and tried it, interestingly enough I've got the same error:

You want to run Armbian or LE from the media ?

any of them for this matter.

my board is unusable as of right now.

so I'll take anything you'd recommend.

 

thanks!

hi guys,

I have a Minix X8-H with a broken emmc and I'm in need of a Linux image that I can boot and run from SDcard.

can you please point me in the right direction?

I tried Armbian_5.27_S812_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.99_server_20170322.img.xz but it doesn't seem to work, it gets stuck on u-boot after the Hardkernel banner.

I think this is an S802 or similar:

[    0.000000@0] Machine: Amlogic Meson8 platform, model: AMLOGIC

[    0.000000@0] Total memory is 2048 MiB

 

I have access to UART console and I have a working U-boot for it.

I tried LibrELEC but after loading the kernel it gets stuck on unable to mount /dev/system because it seems it is trying to mount the broken flash.

 

thanks in advance
