Armbian fails to boot after build


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm trying to build an image for the Orangepi Zero Plus 2 (H3) using the following instructions: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/. After putting the produced image onto a microSD card using dd, I put the card into the board, connect the serial and power, and then seems to fail and drops me to the u-boot prompt. Here is the output of the terminal.

I built this on a completely clean install of ubuntu 16.04 in a VirtualBox VM. I did an update an an upgrade before starting the instructions. The only bit I didn't do was the bit behind the vagrant link, because it was broken.

According to de getting started guide:

 

Images shall only be written with Etcher on all platforms since unlike other tools Etcher validates burning results saving you from corrupted SD card contents.

 

just to remove one possible problem.

I've never built my own kernel (I let Igor do that for me) but I know a bad 'hard drive' when I see one, from my computer repair days.

BAD CRC = 
cyclic redundancy check error

Make sure your SD card image writing software is 'approved' to work with armbian. ie: Etcher
This is (as far as I know) the only Armbian 'approved' method. Likely because Etcher verifies the image after writing, by default. Whereas dd and Win32Disk Imager (uses dd) don't require verification, of what it just wrote.

So..... bad SD card? Prove it is/isn't then come back asking for help.

 

Otherwise, I've received bad CRC errors due to power cables going bad at pain points. I think. Might of been that I was writing using Win32 at the time xD IDK for sure because I immediately tried fixing both birds with one stone as opposed to troubleshooting individually.

So double check that Power Supply if you haven't already. If you haven't already, see 0, 1 and 2 links in my signature. ;D

MERP. My bad. Just going off what I've experienced and trying to insulate the devs from all the newbie mistakes I hear them complain about every time I turn around. Sorry I didn't catch that abscure https://www.denx.de post.

Just doin my best. You're more than welcome to offer anything constructive and as a dev, you knoe you don't need my permission.
