Radxa Rock 4 SE not booting from SD Card

[CaWeissWz]

My Radxa Rock 4SE does not boot since community-build 25.8.0-trunk.228. Current local builds based on the "main" branch are also affected.

 

The bootloader log gives the following error:

Checking hash(es) for config config-1 ... OK
Checking hash(es) for Image atf-1 ... sha256+ OK
Checking hash(es) for Image u-boot ... sha256+ OK
Checking hash(es) for Image fdt-1 ... sha256+ OK
Checking hash(es) for Image atf-2 ... sha256+ OK
Checking hash(es) for Image atf-3 ... sha256+ OK
ERROR: not expected type found -4001165690437497392

 

This source suggests, that it might be a problem with the ATF.

However, my knowledge about details of the boot process are unforunately not sufficient to find a solution to this problem.

 

How to reproduce?

• Download https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/25.8.0-trunk.228/Armbian_community_25.8.0-trunk.228_Rock-4se_bookworm_current_6.12.33_minimal.img.xz
• Install on SD card
• Try to boot Rock 4 SE from SD card image

Thank you for reporting about this issue.

 

What is the latest image that still works?  Is it still available for you to download?

 

Maybe this is the change you want to revert and see if that brings things back in line?  But supposedly, that commit was boot-tested by Niklas.  Your board does not have an official maintainer in armbian, so I suggest you contact Niklas to find out what the situation is for him.

The last working image is 25.5.0-trunk.256, which is still available for download.

 

I will try to look into the situation as my time allows. Thanks for the hint where to start.

Do you know how to compile your own images?  Do you know how to use "git bisect"?
