Odroid HC4 not able to reboot

Hi!

 

installed the recent armbian 25 server image on my Odroid HC4. Used armbian 22 before, but microsd was physically damaged. Unfortunately, the board can't reboot! I already tried to apply this solution, which was prescribed for armbian 24 reboot problems, yet it does not seem to help.

 

Any help is appreciated. Although I do not want to downgrade... what is the last stable (=rebootable) armbian for the Odroid HC4? Does anyone know?

Hi,

 

maybe the fragment you applied is not really compatible with your dtb.

 

[    1.779992] OF: /meson64-reboot: could not get #gpio-cells for /soc/gpu@ffe40000
[    1.780030] OF: /meson64-reboot: could not get #gpio-cells for /soc/gpu@ffe40000
[    1.780050] OF: /meson64-reboot: could not get #gpio-cells for /soc/gpu@ffe40000

 

Can you post here the complete .dts + your modification?

The solution here would be doing a PR and instead of adding the node to the DTS, it should be added to the DTSI "meson-sm1-odroid.dtsi" which both units "C4/HC4" would pick up.

 

+	reboot: meson64-reboot {
+		compatible = "meson64,reboot";
+		sys_reset = <0x84000009>;
+		sys_poweroff = <0x84000008>;
+
+		sd-vqen = <&gpio_ao GPIOE_2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+		sd-vqsw = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+		sd-vmmc = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+	};
+

Hi!

 

thanks for your help! I've attached the stock dts and the modified one (before I converted that back into dtb).

Yes.

 

So instead of this patch; https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/kernel/archive/meson64-6.12/board-odroidc4-reset.patch which only patches the C4 DTS, create a new patch, that patches against the "meson-sm1-odroid.dtsi". Problem solved.

 

An example can be found in my personal repo; https://github.com/pyavitz/debian-image-builder/blob/feature/patches/amlogic/6.12/007-ODROID-general-patch-set.patch#L281

First, I believe the correct modification to apply is the one below, please try it

 

  meson64-reboot {
    compatible = "meson64,reboot";
    sys_reset = <0x84000009>;
    sys_poweroff = <0x84000008>;

    sd-vqen = <&gpio_ao GPIOE_2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    sd-vqsw = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_6 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
    sd-vmmc = <&gpio_ao GPIOAO_3 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
  };

 

 

Secondly, Yes @c0rnelius idea sounds correct in order to correctly patch this for the future.

Hi!

 

I've reinstalled armbian 24 from the archives (Armbian_24.8.1_Odroidhc4_jammy_current_6.6.47.img) and this reboots fine... since Lyrion Music Server also wouldn't run, and my attempt to build it failed...

 

THANKS for the help though! I'll try your solution, @IBV and let you know whether it did the trick! At the moment my nextcloud database is restoring...last time it took 12 hours...

Hi,

please ignore my previous post, the patch will only work if applied to the kernel device tree sources before building.
