Luckfox Lyra Ultra W armbian doesn't load

[Malay]

Hello everyone! I need help.
I was very happy to learn that Armbian support is now available for the Luckfox Lyra Ultra W!

https://blog.armbian.com/github-highlights-5/

This board has 8GB of EMCC memory and the firmware needs to be loaded onto this EMCC.

I went to this page in this mini guide

https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8862?ref=blog.armbian.com

where is the author @vidplace7  clearly indicates how to correctly compile and install the firmware

./compile.sh BOARD=luckfox-lyra-ultra-w BRANCH=vendor KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no DEB_COMPRESS=xz KERNEL_BTF=yes INSTALL_ARMBIAN_FIRMWARE=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes RELEASE=trixie
Boot from emmc working (write to 0x0 with rkdevtool as the generated image includes the "loader")
Shell works over UART0
AIC8800DC WiFi works
Ethernet works

I compiled the Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Luckfox-lyra-ultra-w_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img firmware without any problems and ran the RKDevTool_Release_v2.96 program.

I pressed the boot button on the device and the program RKDevTool displayed a message that the Loader device was found.

I checked item 2, selected emcc, the address was 0X0000000, and selected the image to flash: Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Luckfox-lyra-ultra-w_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img.
I pressed RUN.

The flashing completed successfully.
The device rebooted, and the red LED lit up for 30 seconds, then went out—and that was it. The device no longer responded and wouldn't boot. If I pressed the BOOT button afterwards, the device didn't respond and didn't enter LOADER mode.
The only way to restore the device is to short two points on the rear panel and apply power. The device will be detected in RKDevTool in Maskrom mode, and you can load the factory firmware.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to contact the author @vidplace7  - https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/pull/418

Please tell me what I did wrong? And why does the device become bricked after reflashing? I really want to install a normal system on it!

See

https://wiki.luckfox.com/Luckfox-Lyra/Pinout

and connect USB serial console cable

 

You should see then what is going on and post that here.

Unfortunately, there's no TTL data after the firmware update. RX and TX are silent.

I now see that in your screenshot, a Windows filepath contains rk3588_sp...

This Lyra has a rk3506B, that is a much different and only 32-bit SoC. So that seems not OK to me, so no surprise it does not work I think.

But up to you to read documentation. And also I would not use Windows, the docs at luckfox assume Linux, so the commandline tool rkdeveloptool.\

I don't use Windows and also don't have this luckfox model, so cannot guess what is wrong actually.

@Malay You were really close, from what I can see in your screenshot. You need to check the "Write by Address" box when using the Windows tool there, everything else in the screenshot looks correct.

Hello! I'm so glad you responded! I've been trying to reflash this device for three days. Unfortunately, the behavior after reflashing is always the same: the red LED lights up, goes out after 15-20 seconds, and the device no longer shows any signs of working.
I've reflashed the device about 50 times with different settings. And of course, I checked the "Write to address" box.
I built the firmware from your git - https://github.com/vidplace7/armbian-build/tree/luckfox-lyra-ultra
I also built the firmware from the Armbian office git.
There were no errors during the build.
I've built the firmware from Debian and Ubuntu. I've also tried various methods (again, I've been trying to reflash the device for three days now).
I'm desperate. Would you be so kind as to post the firmware that works 100% for you and tell me how to flash it correctly?
I'm pinning all my hopes on you!
