antonio.pisano Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Hello there, I am trying to build a custom armbian image using instructions here http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/, because I need to enable additional module for Philips webcam, not included in stock one. I have built the compile environment, run the script, added my modules and compiled, generating the entire image. Once I flash and boot from it though, Uboot hangs while saying "booting the kernel" I have tried release 5.00 and 5.06, using Debian Wheezy and Jessie, with the same result. I have also tried flashing the stock image and then just replace kernel packages I had built, because I thought the problem could have to do with systemd. As latest pre-built image is 4.5, I suspect I have leaped too much ahead with the kernel version. Having the latest kernel is not a requirement for me, so if I could just build my custom image based on 4.5, or using the same kernel this would be great, but I could not find this release here https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/releases Any suggestions about how to proceed? Thanks in advance for any help, and many thanks to Igor for leading this great project. Antonio
antonio.pisano Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 I could solve my issue this way: install stock image compile my custom kernel only, instead of entire image replace kernel into stock image ONLY. Before I had also replaced u-boot with the one coming from compilation Now system works properly and I am able to recognize my webcam. This means my issue was caused by u-boot, but I really cannot tell why. All the best Antonio
Igor Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 22 hours ago one u-boot related fix was added. https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/commit/e99abfed490d28181ec10eff99c9ae2ccb8ec9ac 2 days ago I add a workaround https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/commit/f980a00c12dd83c0a71ae41a0ad3daa75a51ae40 more than 2 days ago u-boot (network init) was broken, at least on some boards. When exactly did you build?
antonio.pisano Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 This was today in the morning/early afternoon. AFAIK, your script updates every time with the latest code, right? I am available for more info and tests if you want.
Igor Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 The script auto updates if you didn't alter it. Uboot is critical and need to be tested on few boards.
