Le Potato - writing armbian to eMMC


Tido

Recommended Posts

I followed balbes instructions and successfully copied the system from my USB drive to the eMMC. Removed the drive and rebooted and all started well and the system was up.

I then edited fstab to add a line for automounting a usb HD (which worked well when running on the flash drive). I also did modeprobe wifi_dummy and found the names of the modules which I added to the modules file.

Now when I rebooted the system, it went into emergency mode. Here are some questions for those who have tried this:

Here are some important questions:

1- is it not possible to edit fstab once the system is running from FLASH?

2- How to automatically run the modprobe wifi_dummy command so that the wifi works on bootup?

3- is it possible to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade while running from NAND?

4- can the swap partition be moved to the external USB disk drive?

5- is there an easy way to let the system install all new software (like lamp) on the USB drive

 

Thanks again! At least i am still alive.. hardly breathing though

Hi @balbes150, I have installed some Add-ons to Kodi and I wanted to make use of the remote-control RC6 (Gateway). Reading in the main thread I found that due to dtb the remote will not work on my image. I have this running on eMMC: Armbian_5.41_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180216.img

I have questions:

  1. If I do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, will it also update the dtb & Kodi ?
  2. If above update does not work, is there a trick to copy all Add-ons to the fresh install ?

Thank you

The remote control requires a configuration file (which must be located in /boot/remote.conf). Commands do not update the kernel, dtb, and KODI.

I know, I read that. As I wrote I have a Microsoft MCE-RC6 remote which is very common.

However, I read this:

For KODI & LibreELEC I read that the keymaps for this remote-control are already integrated, but my remote does not work.

 

What do you use in your image:

  1. LIRC where a separate program, lircd, decodes the IR signals ?
  2. Modern Linux kernels, like the ones used in LibreELEC, have built-in support for IR remotes ?

I found this for MCE-RC6  torvalds keymaps/rc-rc6-mce.c 

In which direction shall I search: KODI-Wiki   or   LibreELEC ??

There is a great variety of different builds of KODI and Libreelec for different platforms (x86 , ARM, etc) and different models. This is a different system, description, for some not suitable to others. To operate your remote control, you need a settings file. See the example files (remote.conf) on a recorded medium. For KODI-17 from the composition of Armbian, the file must match the format of the driver amremote. For KODI-18, this is a different format (lirc).

How do I find out if the software can talk to the IR-receiver ?

In the configuration file I saw these lines and I guess I have to adjust it to LePotato...

#			  pattern:custom_code(16bit)+index_code(16bit)
#			  example: 0xff000001 = 0xff00(custom cod)  0001 (index)

but how do I find this ?

I have tried all (3) available in /boot/, I have renamed each to  /boot/remote.conf  one after the other, did a:
service amlogic-remotecfg stop

service amlogic-remotecfg start

klicked with the remote, nothing happend on the Monitor. Looked at  dmesg -c  nothing.

 

How can I test if the IR-Receiver works (devicetree activated?) ?

 

Edit:

I read in a WETEK forum about LG remote-control, so I grab my LG remote and try:

root@amlogic:~# dmesg 
[ 8082.947291] remote: Wrong custom code is 0xbf40fb04

but I wanted to use the mce.. mission impossible ?

To operate the remote control, you need your own settings file. The image contains files for TV boxes remote control models with the specified names. They're not right for you. You need to create or find a settings file for your remote control model.

This is a special feature of this variant of the kernel (change in the driver settings for LE).

 

Have you tried the latest version (from the "no-mali" directory) with kernel 4.16 ? Does sound work on your model ?

I have not, I am still on Armbian_5.41_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20180307.img.  no-mali is this good,  video needs VPU  or am I wrong ?

I tried Audio-Jack, doesn't work.  I want to try HDMI audio later.  I have now tested HDMI - when I navigate it makes the clicking sound = it works

 

How can I return from KODI to standard Mate desktop ?

The choice of shell to start (Mate\XFCE or KODI).

 

On the screen enter username and password (in lightdm) in the upper right corner of the screen there is a menu where you choose which GUI to run. The list will be three items (two rows with kodi) and the last line mate. Select mate (something opposite mate was the point), then enter the username and password. The system remembers the last selected mode. If at the next login or what not to choose in this menu, system at the entrance will trigger the option that was turning off in the previous session.

after you didn't answer me for a bit of time I came up with the idea to search in this Thread, however I was looking for something like: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace   to restart X.

When I jump around too fast the audio hangs and won't stop to repeat the clicking-sound. Playing a movie or YouTube doesn't work then neither.

 

What is the difference between Mali-5, Mali-6, Mali-7  did you already explain that?

These are different versions of KODI and different versions of libMali (5, 6, 7) or build without libMali .

Sorry to revive this topic after many months, but are there recent instructions to copy Armbian to the eMMC?  When I boot with the eMMC installed, it boots into Android.  If I look at the SD card, I have 

ls -ld /boot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   18 Aug 25 13:17 dtb -> dtb-4.18.5-meson64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 24 12:06 dtb-4.14.57-meson64
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 25 13:17 dtb-4.18.5-meson64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   19 Jul 24 12:06 dtb.old -> dtb-4.14.57-meson64

I don't see a dtb.img to remove.  How can I boot into armbian with the eMMC module installed?

@Tido, thanks.  I was hoping there were instructions that would let me work directly with Armbian.  I need to run a nightly kernel.  I am unsure whether I can intsall @Balbes150's image and then install a kernel on top of it (from eMMC) since it won't have the right dtb.  I don't suppose Balbes150 has instructions on builiding his kernel?  or is it all in the dtb and if I copy that from one of his images, it will be enough?  I'll give it a shot.

Here is my current progress...

Note: I have not yet been able to boot directly from the emmc into Armbian.

 

I was not able to get balbes150's images to boot with emmc installed.  Not sure why, but it wasn't too interesting to me since I want to run a 4.17 kernel.

 

I was able to boot into a current armbian (via SSD) with the emmc module enabled via:

1) install armbian to an sd-card, boot and configure without emmc installed

2) connect a serial UART connecton to the UART pins on the le potato (baud 115200)

3) boot or reboot le-potato (still without emmc)

4) press enter several times in serial-console to enter u-boot prompt

5) install emmc module (while in u-boot prompt)

6) type 'run distro_bootcmd' in serial console to load armbian from sd-card

 

This at least gets me a current armbian env with the emmc available:

Looking at the u-boot code from armbian, I am not sure it will be able to boot emmc without modification.  It seems to only load from mmc or usb...I think we need to boot from emmc?  I have to play with it some more.  Alternatives are to try to use use the existing u-boot on the emmc, or to use balbes150's u-boot with a FAT fs...  I am currently going through the nand-sata-install script to make sure it isn't likley to break anything before I try it.

 

One thing I am happy to see...The EMMC is much faster than the fastest sd card I have. 

Comparison:

EMMC:
|      | Read(MB/s)|Write(MB/s)|
|------|-----------|-----------|
|Seq1M |     75.438|     41.317|
|Seq32M|     80.075|     43.023|
| 512K |     72.856|     39.066|
|   4K |     14.463|     15.634|

SD (Samsung Extreme 16GB)
|      | Read(MB/s)|Write(MB/s)|
|------|-----------|-----------|
|Seq1M |     21.873|     14.821|
|Seq32M|     21.917|     15.424|
| 512K |     21.121|     12.297|
|   4K |      7.578|      0.926|

Same SD card (Sandisk Extreme 16GB) in PC on USB3 port:
|      | Read(MB/s)|Write(MB/s)|
|------|-----------|-----------|
|Seq1M |     72.737|     48.762|
|Seq32M|     72.847|     49.757|
| 512K |     67.712|     32.398|
|   4K |      6.694|      0.750|

So we can see that the emmc provides massively improved sequential and random-access performance on the le potato.

Balbes150 images offers dual boot

I guess you came across his first post: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2419-armbian-for-amlogic-s905-and-s905x/

Once you have multiboot, you can backup the eMMC (especially the dtb), then copy Balbes armbian on eMMC and now you can tweak it how you like it.

eMMC needs many partitions, I don't know why.

Thanks @Tido I did indeed miss that.  Thta would probably be the easiest way to get this working.  I, however, tend to prefer the hard way.  Balbes appears to be working with the legacy uboot shipped by Amlogic.  Armbian is using 2018.05 (probably soon to be 2018.07) which actually has mainline support for the le potato.  I'd much prefer to use the more modern version (that also doesn't require all those partitions).  I'm going to continue trying to figure out what that will take

Thanks again @Tido.  I ended up using that image to install multiboot, which was indeed very helpful. While the install.sh script included won't work as is (need to change some paths since it is setup to install on mmc1), and the install.sh from 3.14 won't work with this image because the /dev paths are completely different, this was really helpful to understand how the boot process and upgrade works.

 

In the end, I didn't use Balbes's boot at all.  His multboot isn't compatible with stock Armbian, and whle it is probably possible to write an aml_autoscript which would work, I didn't bother.

 

Here is my process of installing a stock Armbian system on a Le Potato's EMMC.  The nand-sata-install almost works properly, I'm not sure if the issue is in u-boot or armbian, but I'll try to file a bug when I figure out where.  This process gives full access to the full EMMC (The legacy u-boot wastes ~3GB in random partitions).  Note that because these steps erase all of the partitions, it would be challenging to go back to Android in the future.

 

1) put Armbian official 'le potato' image on sd card
2) install sd card into le-potato and remove emmc
3) install UART onto 'le potato' and connect to PC @ 115200 baud
4) power up le potato
5) press enter several times in serial terminal to enter u-boot
6) install emmc
7) type 'run distro_bootcmd' in serial terminal
8) boot into Armbian...setup root and user, etc
9) sudo cfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
9a) remove all partitions.
9b) create a single linux partition (type 83) that fills the whole disk
9c) write changes
10) ls -l /dev/mmcblk0* and ensure you do not see mmcblk0p2-p14

10a) if you see any partitions (/dev/mmcblk0p2-p14) you need to reboot and go through steps 4-8 again
11) sudo nand-sata-install
11a) select emmc
11b) select ext4
11c) let the installation complete
11d) complete but DO NOT REBOOT
12) sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
13) sudo sh -c 'echo "bloader=ext4load mmc 1:1" >> /boot/armbianEnv.txt'
14) shutdown, remove sd card and reboot

 

steps 11d-13 are needed because u-boot 2018.05 sets 'bloader=ext4load mmc 0:1'  which forces booting the sdcard. This should ideally be calculated in either armbian's boot.scr or in u-boot itself

Here is an alternative solution that doesn't require a UART...i didn't test these exact steps, but I believe they should work.  Again, note that step (5) will make it impossible to boot back to Android OR to mount Balbes's images onto EMMC

 

1) install Balbes's 5.59 debian-stretch-default onto USB/SD( it is important to use a 4.xx kernel for this method!): https://yadi.sk/d/pHxaRAs-tZiei/5.59/20180829

2) Follow his instructions to setup multiboot: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2419-armbian-for-amlogic-s905-and-s905x/

3) Reboot into armbian

 

4) From armbian, download the official 'Le Potato image' ( You could also put this on a second USB drive and mount it in Armbian)

5) Copy the image onto EMMC: sudo dd if=<path to armbian.img> of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4096 status=progress

6) Fixup armbianEnv.txt:

6a) sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt

6b) sudo sh -c 'echo "bloader=ext4load mmc 1:1" >> /boot/armbianEnv.txt'

7) remove USB/SD and reboot

I recently purchased a Libre Compter AML-S905 SBC and  installed Armbian- 5.60 stable (stretch) with 4.18.8-meson64 kernel on both the SD card and a eMMC disk. I used armbian-config to copy the OS to the eMMC. After modification of armbianEnv.txt on the SD card, I can boot into the eMMC, but only with the SDcard installed. After reading several threads on u-boot and eMMC I am still somewhat confused. To investigate whether I have a bootloader on the eMMC disk, I dd-ed the first sectors of the eMMC to a file an compared it to /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-lepotato_5.6_arm64/u-boot.bin, and they look similar.

 

Then I tried to copy /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-lepotato_5.6_arm64/u-boot.bin to the eMMC disk, as shown in https://github.com/BayLibre/u-boot/tree/readme

dd if=u-boot.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=1

But then the system did not boot either and my eMMC partition table was gone. Using testdisk, I could restore my partition table.

 

Now I am wondering how to get u-boot on my eMMC, and I have number of questions.

  • Can the u-boot provided with the last armbian images boot from a eMMC? (no)
  • Do I need the latest u-boot from github (https://github.com/BayLibre/u-boot/tree/readme) to get eMMC booting? I am not looking forward to setup cross compilation on my desktop...
  • Do I need multiboot or Balbes Debian image to proceed from where I am? I assume that I only need step 6 from the guide above, since I copied the official image using armbian-config.
  • Does step 5 also include the bootloader? If so, why doesn't armbian-config not does something similar to get a proper bootloader on the eMMC disk?
  • I don't understand 6 above. While running from SD card, the eMMC is mounted but armbinaEnv.txt from the SD card is modified.
  • Is there a working u-boot.bin that can be dd-ed to my eMMC?
  • Are there more steps required, e.g. compiling zimages or something to make sure u-boot can find the kernel?

Help is appreciated. I have been running linux for years at home and have done quite some playing with partitions and bootloaders, but this u-boot thing confuses me.

So, I've been fighting with getting a working Armbian install on my eMMC for almost a week now. I should also mention I have a serial console hooked up, so I am working strictly over the serial debug console. I've ruled out power issues, and here's the problem I'm at now.

 

I used balbes' latest image to create a bootable SD card. I can boot with that card. I ended up only having success by using the nand-sata-install command once I had gotten booted into that version of armbian. I mounted the eMMC and verified the boot files, and then reboot without the SD card present in order to boot straight from eMMC. The kernel gets to remounting the root filesystem and just hangs. The last message is:

[    4.062163] [drm] Cannot find any crtc or sizes

It just sits there. If, at this point, I insert the SD card, the system sees it, and mounts that card as root and boot. So, my system is then running only on the SD card, again. I've tried a few things with changing the fstab on the emmc to use the /dev/mmcblk1p2 for root instead of LABEL= as well as for /boot, figuring it was that old bug that prevented mounting with labels. It's not that. I also tried changing the boot/uEnv.ini file to use the /dev/ device rather than the label, still no luck. It just will not mount the mmc as the root file system. Not sure what info is needed to proceed. I also gave the above bloader line a spin in armbianEnv.txt but it didn't help anything. Any one have any ideas here? Is there another file I need to modify to boot solely from the eMMC?

This should just need a bootscript update to work properly under standard Armbian.  I ran nand-sata-install and the board boots, but the script isn't ready for it and tries to load everything from SD even though it doesn't exist.

 

[update] https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/cfd8a8956814a2f9da465769c1f9f5ad49e369cc

 

This boot script takes care of eMMC and has overlays baked in, that I need to experiment with/test.

Thanks for the update. I copied the file linked and pasted it into my emmc boot as boot.cmd, then ran mkimage to generate the scr. Unfortunately, I'm still getting the previous results. I then re-ran the nand-sata-install command to clear the emmc back to a default state before any of my tinkering, and tried again. Still stops at remounting root fs. Is there a direct link to an image for the version of armbian you are using here that I can plop onto my SD card to try booting from? I am currently using the images from balbes, and I don't know if that's configured differently. I'd like to just use whatever image you're reporting success with here.

I am using the image family you would find on the Armbian download page, you are correct that the configuration of Balbes' images are different.  Whenever the next round of images are made this update will be included.
