Lost network in rock-3a after upgrading to 24.2.1

[Jose Luis]

Hi,

 

after upgrading linux-u-boot-rock-3a-current, linux-image-current-rockchip64 and linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 to the 24.2.1 versions, the system losses the network producing kernel errors in dmesg:

I went back to the 23.11.1 versions of the packages and the system has the network back:

Using these packages, this is the output from dmesg:

Doing more tests, I've upgraded linux-image-current-rockchip64 to 24.2.1 ( 6.6.16 ) and linux-image-edge-rockchip64 with old linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 ( 23.11.1 ) and booted fine without any issue and network working.

 

When I updated either linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 or linux-dtb-edge-rockchip64 to 24.2.1 and reboot it stops working.

Checking the dts for upstream 6.6, I see the patch applied to 6.1 kernel only is applied. This is my suspect, I need to build a custom image with the custom patch and give the feedback I got.

Checking my system:

And this is different from the bundled U-Boot:

I could not update U-Boot via armbian-install, somehow my rootfs on NVMe breaks install in the script ( I boot from SD with /boot in it ).

 

Not detecting the device ( using set -x )

++ sed -e 's/^.*root=//' -e 's/ .*$//'
+ root_uuid=UUID=a0d95135-003b-44d5-8efe-ef62615e7dea
++ blkid
++ tr -d '":'
++ grep UUID=a0d95135-003b-44d5-8efe-ef62615e7dea
++ awk '{print $1}'
+ root_partition=/dev/nvme0n1
++ echo /dev/nvme0n1
++ sed 's/\/dev\///g'
+ root_partition_name=nvme0n1
++ lsblk -ndo pkname /dev/nvme0n1
+ root_partition_device_name=
+ root_partition_device=/dev/
+ exit 1

 

I crafted a quick n'dirty script:

#!/bin/bash

source /usr/lib/u-boot/platform_install.sh

DIR=/usr/lib/linux-u-boot-current-rock-3a
root_partition_device=/dev/mmcblk0

write_uboot_platform "$DIR" "${root_partition_device}"

 

 

And I can confirm that u-boot was updated in SD and now works fine! YEEHAA!
