Not Booting #2

Closed I3lackshirts closed 9 months ago

I3lackshirts commented 9 months ago

I had an issues with the stock card and had to format. Is the stock card needed for the GalicOS to boot? I have been trying to use the Phoenix Card program to restore the stock OS img but it keeps freeze my computer and I am forced to rest. I am using Windows 11. Any suggestions to get the stock OS back?

I've got it booting to a black screen and then turning off after the Anbernic Logo. To summarize what I have (and this is for an RG35XX+)

TF1: Flashed the stock firmware (64gb) from Anbernic's site to the card, and then added the boot loader files. There were actually two partitions on the stock card, and the docs didn't say which, so I added to both.

TF2: Formatted as ExFAT, created a 'boot' directory, and copied both the unzipped filesytem image and init script (no extension.. didn't mark as executable so will try that next.)

Booting with this setup must have worked in some form, because TF2 now has a Roms and saves directory.

Update: Got it working. I was being stupid, didn't realise it was an ARM chip, so was using the wrong filesystem image.

ARM devices and ARM64 devices with ARM userspace drivers (RG35XX, RG35XX+, RG35XXH) need to use the armhf rootfs.

ARM64 devices that require a ARM rootfs mention this explicitly in their bootloader repositories.

Given the recent update I figure this issue can be closed now.
