NanoPC T4

Recommended Posts

I'm having booting issues with the new Bionic Desktop image i.e 19.11.7. It won't boot at all. Black screen with no signal. Sdcard green light flashes only once after 5 secs of starting and then nothing.

 

Last image worked was 19.11.3 (kernel 4.4.192). 4.4.198 didn't boot either, so I flashed now 19.11.7 (kernel 4.4.208) and it fails as well.

 

I waited over 25 mins for it to boot.

Do you hold boot button? Otherwise it boots something from your eMMC ... I just tried this image and works normally on my T4.

No, I only hold the power button ~2secs when 1st starting the board and it always boot from sdcard (worked with 19.11.3). I do the same to boot my LibreELEC SDCard. No card,  power on boots Android from eMMC.

Maybe try a different SD card?  Those images you mention boot fine on my NanoPC-T4

Tried 2 different SDCards, but same behaviour.

It is expected to behave like this. If you don't hold boot button, you boot with boot-loader which is present on eMMC. Which is out of our control ...

I tried with holding the boot button then power up the board, and kept holding the boot button for like 10 secs = Still won't boot.

 

I'll re-try 19.11.3 (kernel 4.4.192) image now and post result.

1. Attach power

2. Hold boot button

3. Power the board and wait until leds start to flash, then release.

Did the exact thing, no result. Board turns on (red light is there) but it won't boot from sdcard. Will the try last image that worked for me now.

@Igor

 

I flashed the 19.11.3 (kernel 4.4.192) image and it booted right away (I didn't hold the boot button) and I get to the console. Set user account, etc and I'm in desktop.

 

Now the diagnostic part about what is wrong with the new images.

 

When I flashed the 19.11.7 (kernel 4.4.208), this is what my blkid said (sda = sdcard Armbian is flashed to)

# blkid
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="b811ee1f" PTTYPE="dos"

#


Here is the one from 19.11.3 (kernel 4.4.192):

# blkid

19.11.7 = creating dos partition and unable to boot

19.11.3 = creates ext4 partition and it boots normally

Images are made in automated fashion, they are also mainly tested. Yes, sometimes things go wrong which is why I test this image: https://dl.armbian.com/nanopct4/archive/Armbian_19.11.7_Nanopct4_bionic_legacy_4.4.208_desktop.7z and it works.

 

This means problem is 100% not ours. Since you don't have OS on the card, two things remains:
- failed SD card https://forum.armbian.com/forum/31-sd-card-and-psu-issues/

- wrong writing method or troubles with the computer where you write that image https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-prepare-a-sd-card

Couple of issues I discover so far:

 

1. Just found that kernel upgrade via armbian-config cause replacing legacy u-boot (linux-u-boot-nanopct4-default version 5.98) with linux-u-boot-nanopct4-current 2020.01 (that was Bionic installation updated to Eoan) which refuse to boot from eMMC:

2. While WD SSD, such as WDS200T3X0C, works just fine on both of Linux 4.4 and 5.3, SSD from Samsung, such as 970 EVO, works only with 4.4, but not with 5.3. Pci driver just fail to detect it, while on 4.4 same SSD works for half year without issues.

 

3. USB-C port doesn't work. Docking stations, flash drives, and external disks all detected in the same way:

phy phy-ff770000.syscon:usb2-phy@e450.2: charger = USB_DCP_CHARGER

What version of kernel did you upgrade to?

 

To fix it without writing a new image you could probably simply boot with SD, mount eMMC and remove fdtfile entry from mounted "boot/armbianEnv.txt".

It is probably pointing to a "rockchip/rk3399-nanopi4-rev00.dtb" file that is not part of modern kernel package anymore :(

Same here. My 970 EVO NMVe doesn't get recognized by the 5.3 kernel  while legacy kernel works perfect (dev kernel doesn't work either).

From 5.3.11 to 5.4.20, so simply from "old" current to "new" current.

Removing fdtfile entry indeed helps, thank you!

 

Any idea what to do with SSD? Upstream issue?

Try to remove (or move somewhere else) rockchip-pcie-gen2.dtbo from /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay and let me know what you see.

 

From my testing 5.4.8 and 5.4.20 fail like this:

I also noticed that these fresh 4.4 legacy images no longer boot with Samsung SSD attached (really long "Unhandled fault" error) so I had to use vendor's microSD image to restore eMMC backup from NVME (I know, my fault, had to have one more copy somewhere else). Do you observe same behavior with Armbian 4.4 legacy images on your NanoPC-T4?

 

EDIT1 Hmm, somehow got 5.4.26 working with Samsung SSD. At least I upgraded to current u-boot manually by using dd (automatic u-boot updater from armbian-config didn't work with "Unsupported u-boot processing configuration" error) and removed rockchip-pcie-gen2.dtbo. Another difference with logs above that above I tried to boot from microSD and now I tried same steps with installation I have on eMMC.

 

EDIT2 It's seems like part of the errors above caused by the fact that I didn't power down board completely between attempts to run 4.4 and 5.4 kernels - I didn't detached PSU and I didn't detached serial console. I guess if I would try that before boot Armbian with 4.4 kernel from microSD it would work. However, interesting part here that is that friendlydesktop never fail to boot and never fail to detect Samsung SSD, even without detaching PSU and serial console. So it's seems like some necessary patches that make board boot more stable is still missing from upstream. Right now I have Samsung SSD working on 5.4.26 even with rockchip-pcie-gen2.dtbo.

Question. Does someone have sound running through the 3.5 analog output on the kernel 5  ?

Yes. Works for me. Main patches here:

Orange Pi 4 Kernel 5.x.x rt5651 sound and bluetooth fixed
But it is for NanoPC T4 that the fdt is needed. He won 't work from Orange Pi 4. At least the codec is connected to another bus.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I tried to use the patch (taking into account another parameter), but the device did not appear.

There is a strange result. When using sources and patches from the Armbian build system (core 5.4) and adding changes from the T4 patch, the 5651 device does not appear. But if  comment on a line

 

&i2s0{
    assigned-clocks = <&cru SCLK_I2SOUT_SRC>;
//    assigned-clock-parents = <&cru SCLK_I2S0_8CH>;
    rockchip,i2s-broken-burst-len;
    rockchip,playback-channels = <2>;
    rockchip,capture-channels = <2>;
    #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
    status = "okay";
};

 

 the device appears and there are clicks in the speakers when switching on and off.

@Merblud  What alsa settings do you use to enable audio ?

I am sorry. I checked with the 5.2.8 core from kernel.org (not from Armbian build system). I prepared the patch for core 5.4.35. But the core 5.4.35 didn 't have time to check. I have to do the assembly directly on T4. It long.
