OrangePih3 build fails

cynfab · May 2, 2016

Tried to build kernel only for OrangePih3 ( I have an Orange Pi One)

and the build failed while trying to patch u-boot.

Below is the install.log file since the forum software won't let me upload a file of type .log and once I tried, it won't let me attach anything, but that's another problem...

Which turned out to be a cockpit problem ;>P

I edited my compile.sh file to select Kernel only.

Using the menu after running ./compile.sh I selected orangepih3 and the latest dev version of the kernel.

Looks like dev u-boot with h3 patches is currently broken, you may want to set BOOTBRANCH='v2016.03' (or to 'v2016.05-rc1') in compile.sh

cynfab · May 2, 2016

Thanks for the tip.

I added BOOTBRANCH='v2016.03' to compile.sh but this patch still seems broken:

/media/kenm/usr5/OrangePiOne/Armbian/lib/patch/u-boot/u-boot-dev/u-boot-02-support-cheap-mmc.patch u-boot-dev 2016.03
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line

I then tried v2016.05-rc1 and the compile of u-boot and the kernel succeded.

Meanwhile I did some tests and after next build script update this issue should be fixed (sun8i-dev u-boot branch will be set to v2016.05-rc1 by default).

When was v2016.05-rc3 released? Yesterday?

sun8i-dev uses "bleeding edge" (latest commit in "master" branch) by default.

Yes. 2016.01 base version for sun7i is right, while origin of "sun8i" in version string is unknown for me, I'll look at the image and build options later.

I opened referenced image in hex editor, and I see this

0004ccb0: 30 78 34 30 30 30 30 30 30 00 66 64 74 66 69 6c	0x4000000.fdtfil

so u-boot configuration looks right, "sun8i" probably appeared due to some environment variable not unset in BUILD_ALL scenario.

cynfab · May 2, 2016

I posted both issues because I have 2 separate projects, one with a PcDuino3 Nano Lite and one with an Orange Pi One.

These issues may be related but then maybe not.

Project #1 wanted to use a pre-built image for the PcDuino, It wouldn't boot even to getting past u-boot-spl to u-boot. Clearly something wrong with how the pre-built image was put together.

Project #2 wanted to see how progress on getting the H3 supported was going and compiling my own kernel usually gives me a good indication of how bleeding the edge is.

I wanted to provide some feedback as Igor requested on the opening Armbian page. So 2 posts for 2 issues, hoped my install.log would help.

zador.blood.stained · May 2, 2016

Well, H3 issue is fixed, thanks for reporting. As for pcDuino issue - needs more testing. If writing older u-boot to new image works (or installing new u-boot on older image results in boot failure) then it means that u-boot is currently broken for this board.
