I should have known better..... today i did an apt update and saw thet there was an update to 5.38. Installed it and like with nearly every last update the device (OrangePi +) didn't boot.

Did you even test updates in the stable repo before ? Don't know whats going wrong, so i will test it, but thats annoying.....

Posted

whats special on the OPi+ and OPi2e?
From the CPU they  a normal H3-Boards

 

All my Boards did boot after the 5.38 update

- NPi Neo2

- NPi Duo

- NPi Neo Core2

- OPi Zero

- OPi Zero Plus H5

- OPi One (legacy)  /  another - newly with mainline installed  - OPi One is also working fine with 5.38

 

Is it a legacy/stable <--> mainline/nightly problem?
My devices are using mostly mainline (nightly)

Posted (edited)

OPi plus (if he means that by OPi+) & plus 2e have eMMC... but without more information, it's hard to say what's wrong...

 

My OPI PC+ (server usecase so with mainline instead of legacy kernel runs smoothly on 5.38). I can't switch to legacy only to reproduce errors of others...

I think as OPi+ he means the https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus/

The only "pi" with eMMC at my side is the NPi Neo Core2, but also with mainline (image of the NPi Neo Plus2 is working here with eMMC-support, but Iam running this from uSD).

 

My OPi One is using legacy kernel (as Pi-Hole Server) but hasnt a eMMC.

It´s working here :) 

EDIT: (God damn it, didn't see that it was the real Opi+ he is talking about, forgot about that one since the image for the opi+2 says opi+, sorry, nothing to see here )

In my case - both Orange Pi+ 2 and Orange Pi+ 2e are using emmc. Currently I am not able to provide any output from serial as I have no physical access to my devices (btw. I do not have serial/usb cable to investigate it :().

 

Information (common for both devices, also the same for 2 devices which have no issues: Orange Pi PC and Orange Pi Zero 512MB H2+):

 

- upgrade from 5.35 to 5.36 was OK

- upgrade from 5.36 to 5.37 was OK (I have seen this upgrade was very minor, only 1 package has been updated)

- upgrade from 5.37 to 5.38 failed for Opi+2 and Opi+2e (actually I am able to confirm for 100% that I am not able to connect to devices and I am 100% sure that this is not an issue related to e.g. different hwaddres, IP etc.) - either device hasn't booted at all or network interfaces are down (this one can be confirmed by anybody who can check by serial interface)

- upgrade from 5.37 to 5.38 was OK for OpiPC and OpiZero

- there ware no issues during upgrade process - it was completed without any warnings/errors.

- Opi+2 and Opi+2e are using eMMC as main boot device

- OpiPC and OpiZero are using SD cards as main boot device (obviously)

- All 4 platforms are running with legacy kernel

 

I will have physical access to both devices on Friday, 02.02.2018. I have "tool" SD card which will allow me to boot both devices and if there is any suggestion from this forum - I will be able to make necessary corrections (eg. "dd" new file to emmc boot sectors etc.).

Ok I can confirm that my
Orange PI Plus 2 upgrade from Headless Ubuntu 5.36to 5.38 (Stable) worked without problems.

Orange PI Plus 2E upgrade from Headless Ubuntu 5.37 (nightly) to 5.38 (nightly) worked without problems.

So looks like the legacy images are the problem :/

I made two additional upgrade tests with a legacy kernel, Orangepi PC+ and Orangepi 2e and it was not possible to detect any problemshttp://ix.io/EWl

 

- some old version which was on eMMC -> latest

- 5.35 from download -> latest

- some old beta -> latest

 
We can't test all possible boards/combinations.

Unless someone, who has this problem, does not provide serial console logs, we will not get anywhere.

 

I can't reproduce it.

So, I have OrangePi plus 2e which boots mainline kernel from eMMC, and have MMC card as data volume.

I just did apt update, apt upgrade and could'nt  boot system anymore.

Fortunatelly I have backup image, but anyway... What goes wrong ?!?

:(

Here is the console log: https://pastebin.com/i9FsCHqt

Looks like u-boot MMC numbering changes broke backwards compatibility with our old boot script (that had "mmc 0" hardcoded everywhere, pre-23-08-2017), now the question is which images are affected.

@Igor

I would recommend removing new u-boot packages from the repository for all sunxi devices that have eMMC. Or simply for all sunxi devices since I'm not sure if other old (something like pre-5.30) images will be affected.

Because I needed instant solution, I switched sytem to mmc and data volume to emmc
That's correct in your case because u have backup,
What if we don't have backup and want our system back online

Well, I think you can do following:

Get mmc card

Put fresh armbian on it

Boot from it

Make tar of /mmcblk2p1 (somewhere on network, I use sshfs for this)

Shutdown

Get mmc on pc an delete everything on it, then utar content of mmcblk2p1 on it.

It should work (worked for me)

When you boot in 'fresh' armbian from mmc, your old system is still on emmc, just need way to get it out.

Easiest way is to make tar archive from it, maybe on usb pendrive.

Insert pendrive, let say it is /dev/sda (check with lsblk)

 

Create mountpoints:

mkdir /mnt/src

mkdir /mnt/dest

 

Mount pendrive:

mount /dev/sda /mnt/dest

 

Mount emmc partition:

mount /dev/mmcblk2p1 /mnt/src

 

cd /mnt/dest

tar -cvzf my_archive_name.tar.gz -C /mnt/src .

(Note dot at the end, is important)

 

when finished

cd /

umount /mnt/src

umount /mnt/dest

poweroff

 

On your pendrive is now content of the emmc

Then get both to pc and erase all on mmc

untar archive from pendrive to mmc

 

Bring to Opi and it should work

All commands as root, of course

Dear,
Thanks for explaining,
I will do that now,
Would it be possible to transfer same from mmc to emmc when fix is available?

Changed back https://github.com/armbian/upload/commit/c68b8c84f9edfdfd55f1579894f05035e637022a

And also Odroid XU4 upgrade to NEXT https://github.com/armbian/upload/commit/36437b8a9704a5056fccb6ed154b69778716bed8

 

At least upstream those problems should be fixed by now.

Sorry, I missunderstood you. Yes, when fix comes,  will be possible through armbian-config install to emmc.
