tpc010 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) UPDATE: Today I build it again and now it's working, I think someone has change something. Thank you :-) OLD: I created an new board, based on the lime-a33.conf with BOOTCONFIG="q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig" and build a Debian Stretch Image with mainline Kernel 4.13 / 4.14. The SD Card is booting with a nice screen output but only to Kernel Boot, then the screen freezes. The Serial connection is only in the SD Adapter and I cant use it if I'm booting from it, or is there a possibility ?? I was checking devuan.org and this Image is booting the Tablet, with Kernel 4.1x. So I want to debug the Armbian Kernel with serial output and I used fastboot for it, I'm booting into fastboot with "adb reboot bootloader" and then I'm sending the bootimage with fastboot ( first I created a image with mkimage with and without dtb file) fastboot -c "console=ttyS0,115200" boot uImage But I get this error from armbian Kernel Starting kernel ... Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00001029). Available machine support: ID (hex) NAME ffffffff Generic DT based system ffffffff Allwinner sun9i Family ffffffff Allwinner sun8i Family ffffffff Allwinner sun7i (A20) Family ffffffff Allwinner sun6i (A31) Family ffffffff Allwinner sun4i/sun5i Families Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader. Full Log is attached. I checked a lot of things, but I can't find a solution to solve this problem, the devuan.org Kernel is booting this way, until it can't find the SD Card.

markbirss Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 @tpc010 What specific tablet you are using ? Are you able to boot a Armbian build image directly from sdcard now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tablets like this, I bought it at ebay with broken Touch for testing, also a broken 10,1" Tablet, this was also working for testing, and an A88S from alldaymall. Wifi is also working, but this can change from tablet to tablet.

markbirss Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 @tpc010 is it possible for you to share your last known working image ? I found a YunTab 7, but my build stuck at starting kernel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"echo blacklist pwm_bl>/etc/modprobe.d/pwm.conf" Do you have some last messages before the kernel stuck? At the moment I have no time to build a clean Image, sorry. I hope next week. br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbirss Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I did blacklist the pwm_bl on the card, but it just stuck at Starting Kernel... Did you need to set via u-boot console the disp parameter at all? it seems my bootup want to change video mode ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpc010 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Important is the correct defconfig for the tablet, you have to test some of them. The only thing I changed was the BOOTCONFIG line and add the g_serial to the modules for OTG USB (and wifi modules) check if there is a newer or different version in u-boot armbian/cache/sources/u-boot/v2018.XX/configs$ ls -1 *[Aa]33* A33-OLinuXino_defconfig q88_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig q8_a33_tablet_800x480_defconfig Sinlinx_SinA33_defconfig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbirss Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I don't have other u-boot configs to try and the previous version do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpc010 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, I build a new Image, q88_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig is not booting but q8_a33_tablet_1024x600_defconfig is working on my YUNTAB. The compressed Image is around 250MB, without Desktop. Do you have a storage where I can put the image file? You only have to add the file pwm.conf to /etc/modprobe.d/ br pwm.conf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
