Hello,

 

I recently updated my Helios64 board from 5.9.11 to 5.9.14 using `apt upgrade` and since then I'm unable to boot my board which is stuck on `Starting kernel ...`. Here is the log of the what got upgraded.

I tried to reinstall the latest release to eMMC through u-boot (`Armbian_20.11.3_Helios64_buster_current_5.9.14.img` and also tried `Armbian_20.11_Helios64_buster_current_5.8.17.img`) but I still get the same message `Starting kernel ...`. 

I also tried to boot from SD card by using the jumper P10 but I'm still stuck to `Starting kernel ...`.

I also tried to install it using Maskrom Mode. Everything runs correctly but still stuck on the `Starting kernel ...`.

  

~/a/rkbin-master ❯❯❯ lsusb -d 2207:330c
Bus 002 Device 014: ID 2207:330c Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics Company RK3399 in Mask ROM mode
~/a/rkbin-master ❯❯❯ sudo tools/rkdeveloptool db rk3399_loader_v1.24_RevNocRL.126.bin

Write LBA from file (100%)
~/a/rkbin-master ❯❯❯ sudo tools/rkdeveloptool rd
Reset Device OK.

 

Here is the log when I boot my board.

I tried everything I found in the wiki but without any success, and I'm running out of ideas. Do you have an idea why the kernel is not booting ?

Can you write the image of the latest release to a microSD card and try to boot off of that?

You might need to update the boot loader on your eMMC, but you'll need to be able to boot from a release on an microSD card to be able to boot your system first.

@obynio since you have a Linux system, could you modified the /boot/armbianEnv.txt ?

add following lines
  

console=serial
earlycon=on
extraargs=ignore_loglevel

 

you could modify the file on the sdcard if you are going to test with sd card.

or you could also modify the file on eMMC by mounting it in ums mode.

Hello,

 

I tried all the following flavors and none of them worked.

  • Armbian_20.11.1_Helios64_buster_current_5.9.11.img
  • Armbian_20.11.3_Helios64_buster_current_5.9.14.img
  • Armbian_20.11.3_Helios64_buster_legacy_4.4.213.img
  • Armbian_20.08.21_Helios64_buster_current_5.8.17.img
  • Armbian_20.11.3_Helios64_focal_current_5.9.14.img
  • Armbian_20.08.10_Helios64_buster_current_5.8.14.img

 

What I tried so far.

 

  • SDcard install the images above, try booting from them. Stuck on "Starting kernel... "
  • eMMC install the images above and try booting. Stuck on "Starting kernel..."
  • Maskrom Mode install the release Armbian_20.11_Helios64_buster_current_5.8.17 and try booting. Stuck on "Starting kernel..."
  • Erasing the eMMC partition with `sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 count=65535` to erase the previous bootloader and try booting from SDcard. Stuck on "Starting kernel..."

 

I also tried what you advised me.

 

  • SDcard install Armbian_20.11.3_Helios64_buster_current_5.9.14 and change the armbianEnv.txt on the SDcard with the following parameters.

  

verbosity=7
console=serial
earlycon=on
extraargs=ignore_loglevel
bootlogo=false
overlay_prefix=rockchip
rootdev=UUID=66866791-ff60-40b8-8875-921b20e23c7c
rootfstype=ext4

 

Without success unfortunately. Here is the bootlog.

I tried everything I found on the wiki without success so far. I have the feeling the board is bricked.

I felt that erasing the eMMC should be like a factory reset but it does not work either. Is there a component or firmware on the board that may have been wrongly updated during the upgrade ? 

 

This guy seems to have a similar issue. https://forum.armbian.com/topic/16398-no-boot-after-bootloader-update/

Just to be sure, when you boot your board and you see "Starting kernel..." you wait few minutes before considering it's stuck ?

 

What's the LED status one minute after you see "Starting kernel..." ? Is System LED blinking ?

Hello,

 

Yes I've let it wait over 20mn without further development. It still refuse to boot the kernel. The System LED is fixed blue and not blinking during the whole process.

This morning I've tried the latest release but unfortunately it still fails.
