Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I am using NPiNeoPlus2 board (ordered Neo2 but they send me Neo Plus2)

I red this is not officially supported but it works some way

The image works from TF but when I write it to eMMC it boots it works but can't reboot

I type reboot and I get (serial)

Trying to boot from MMC2

and it waits... what for?

 

Image Armbian_20.02.1_Nanopineoplus2_buster_current_5.4.20

it happens the same on every kernel used

This is a bug, somewhere in ATF / boot loader areas.

Hard to say why it doesn't proceed ... needs to be investigated by someone that have: knowledge, time, hardware, ... IIRC I have seen this kind of behaviour on some other board, but don't recall what is the exact cause ...

 

Let's wait for some clues and ideas.

Well, the reboot problem is not an easy problem.

 

Most of this boards with H3 H5 SoC inside, doesn't have a power management unit. This is the main problem. 

 

But there is a slightly dirty solution that you can do. Activate the reboot pin using a digital output. It will always work:

 

You can also try the following tests:

 

Maybe you can try to buy a power supply recommended by the manufacturer

 

Finally you can try to copy the image of the SD card working using the dd command.

For it, copy the SD card image to a pendrive using dd comand. Now, power on the unit with other SD card, and after that, copy the image in the usb unit to the eMMC:

Something like that:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress

I have no reboot problems from card til I switch to eMMC :mellow:

Well I found myself stupid :ph34r:

The power supply I was using was 3A, I tried 4A and it reboots now

Funny but I newer had issues with power supply... You can laugh at me now :P

Unfortunately it is not rebooting anymore :(

 

I placed old 1GB TF cart (empty, formatted to EXT4 same filesystem as eMMC) and reboots again...

 

After doing updating the bootloader stopped rebooting again (with and without TF card)

 

Powered on, updated the bootloader again and it's rebooting. With present TF card of course... :huh:

Are you doing USB-OTG on that board for console?
