pkfox Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi all, I'm a bit out of date with regards to a working image for the NanoPi M4 v2 board. I have @pask image which works great but having to boot from the sd card and flash a bootloader patch to eMMC card whenever you reinstall ( I constantly break installs by over experimenting with stuff I don't know enough about ) is a bit of a pain. Anyone know of an image I can just download and flash ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you build one of your own with the PR already applied. I've merged the PR of @piter75, built a image and tested it. It is working. The only thing so far that didn't work, is at the and of nand-sata-install, script is calling write_uboot_platform() from /usr/lib/u-boot/platform_install.sh, but since the big refactoring few weeks ago, the BOOT_USE_BLOBS variable seem not be defined anymore, so I had to do the "dd" of idbloader.bin/uboot.img/trust.bin manually to get the u-boot copied into eMMC. Congrat to @piter75 ! Next step would be to apply same mainline u-boot recipe to RockPro64 and RockPi4, and we can say "adios" to old U-Boot 2017 !

piter75 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 @martinayotte nand-sata-install bug may be actually my fault introduced during u-boot migration. I will look into that. 7 minutes ago, martinayotte said: apply same mainline u-boot recipe to RockPro64 and RockPi4 That is what I want to pursue next - starting with Rock Pi 4 first.

I've just done a RockPi4 build, will test in in the next hour ... EDIT : Tested ! It works ! But again, I had to manually finish the eMMC install with "dd" ... Next ! RockPro64 ! And later cleanup of both families to avoid forgetting patches during migration ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Pi 4 works well with u-boot v2019.10 even with mainline ATF I fixed the nand-sata-install issue in master. There are still a few things I have to learn about Armbian ;-) OTOH this bug should not affect Rock Pi 4, unless you moved it to rk3399 family while testing.

That was the easiest thing to do was to switch to rk3399 family. Later, we can merge both families ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan was to move out all rk3399 to their own family and then trying to merge back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, later, rk3399 family name could be rename rockchip64. I've just did the same with RockPro64, the SDCard works well, but I'm unable to boot from eMMC, unless I put back the old U-Boot rksd_loader.img ... I'm trying to figure out, but no clue yet !
