marki2239 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi, I'm unable to get my Rock64 to boot either the Xenial or Stretch Armbian images from SD or Emmc. I can get all of the other OS's to boot fine off of either media. Ive tried with multiple Emmc chips, SD cards and Rock64's with the same results so its not the hardware. Seems like it cant find the boot loader. Ive used win32diskimager, Etcher and the Rock64 instakk software. I've formatted the SD card completely, used new SD cards... I'm stuck! Any suggestions Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Try this: https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/475f0cbd8700db23d882faca891f9c7196e824c0 Edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt on some other machine, where you can mount this SD card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marki2239 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi! Thanks I confirmed that it is a 1GB memory size issue. Everything boots fine on my 2Gb Rock64 Do you have the same fix dor Xenial? Thats the image Id like to use. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the same ... you need to manually adjust this parameter until we rebuild the images. This will happen once this week ... still fixing some other things. I assume you can boot your 1Gb board when applying a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marki2239 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi my /boot/armbianEnv.txt file is different that the one you showed me in the Git fix. I added the setenv load_addr "0x39000000" and still no boot on the 1G machine.. What am I doing wrong?

marki2239 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi Sorry this is my first time this deep into the kernel. Still no boot on the 1G Rock64 Tried it on multiple 1G rocks. Works fine on the 2G Rock. When I boot the system i get a black screen and nothing ever appears so theres nothing to send you. Is there any logfile I can dig through?

marki2239 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi, Not sure if this is worth reporting to you, or if this is the right place to do so, but here it is. The current downloadable version from the Armbian website required me to use the https://github.com/Matei-Ciobotaru/Rock64-R64.GPIO library for GPIO functions due to an offset The version of the OS you sent me required me to use the original https://github.com/Leapo/Rock64-R64.GPIO.git library. So Not sure if this is a bug or not. But it is a something I though was worth mentioning. Also the path to /usr/sbin isnt in the version you sent. Hope this helps.
