cubox will not boot


Baos

Question

Maybe I missed something, it's been a few weeks since I needed to install an image.  cubox with hdmi does not boot.  There is no serial port, so I can not even try to figure it out.  Also it never requests an ip address from the router.  Tried with trusty legacy and vanilla.  Used the link specifically labeled cubox-i  http://www.armbian.com/cubox-i/

You don't get anything at boot? Stock u-boot, which we use, prompts Solidrun logo. If you got nothing, than this means uboot is not loaded. We are doing major images rebuild very soon and I'll double check if problem is on our side.

 

btw. my Cubox has serial port - via micro usb. Isn't this default on all?

I'm also having trouble with the latest image on my Cubox-i4pro. My

Cubox is booting, but it can't output 1920x1080 on HDMI on my 1080p

display. I can adjust the bootcmd to output 1366x768. This works OK.

 

The network and wifi come up just fine. The display also works

perfectly fine on another computer.

 

Anyone else having similar issues?

This is a first gen cubox, half did not have a serial port. I would need a pinout to connect to what might be a serial port.  I could not find an archive image from months/years ago to try. 

And yes, nothing at all, no hdmi signal.

Discovered it already had a serial device built-in.  What a nifty device.

Ahaa, you are using old 1st generation Marvel based Cubox. This won't work, sorry ... we cover only Freescale imx6 based models. I don't have any of those boards. Perhaps you could try to build mainline uboot with kernel 4.4+ for this? No idea if it's supported.

For anyone who searches this thread.   Here is the most up to date bootable image I could find.

Here is the only ubuntu I could find.  I would not recommend as it is no longer supported.

digging out this old thread  for anyone who will use the frist generation CuBox (Armada 510 CPU)-  like I found my today in a old box :)

Here is something newer than the 3.5.7 above:
