gogoer Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Hello. I'm trying to understand how to build u-boot for my board. I have Nanopi Neo Core + Mini Shield and want to buid u-boot loader for it. I have some problems, maybe someone can help me) I decide to try extlinux.conf file create boot menu. First of all i got current version of u-boot (https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot) and configure it with Nanopi Neo default config: make nanopi_neo_defconfig i have next output in console: U-Boot SPL 2022.07-rc3-00073-g4fe629d2e8-dirty (May 29 2022 - 23:11:36 +0300) DRAM: 512 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2022.07-rc3-00073-g4fe629d2e8-dirty (May 29 2022 - 23:11:36 +0300) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H3 (SUN8I 1680) Model: FriendlyARM NanoPi NEO DRAM: 512 MiB Core: 63 devices, 17 uclasses, devicetree: separate WDT: Not starting watchdog@1c20ca0 MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c11000: 1 Loading Environment from FAT... *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: phy interface1 eth0: ethernet@1c30000 starting USB...

Werner Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 There should be I guess since Armbian boot processes do not have such a (long) pause. No idea though how this is managed. I suggest to take a look at our build script to get an idea who Armbian deals with this. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/87fa0628df82db765e45c4d020bb924de329616a/lib/compilation.sh#L117-L325 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
