Unable to boot from eMMC #5

Closed mihaibuba closed 7 months ago

mihaibuba commented 8 months ago

Hello,

First of all I would like to start by saying that I really appreciate what you have done, having a clean install on my NanoPC-T6 is awesome, and is exactly what I wanted. Now, for the issue I am having: I am currently able to boot it from a microSD, I was even able to clone it from one microSD to another, but I can not get it to boot from the eMMC. Could you please post the steps I could use to get it to boot?

I have tried multiple ways, as follows:

  1. Boot from MicroSD (mmcblk1), write image to eMMC (mmcblk0) using: 
    # remove partions
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
n # new partion
w # write

    then:

    blkid
/dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="ca28012d-a597-a943-9299-7d268bd41448" PTTYPE="gpt"
/dev/mmcblk1p1: LABEL="rootfs" UUID="7ba07c73-0352-4794-9a99-7e69e3e51a58" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="ext4" PARTLABEL="rootfs" PARTUUID="a739e1f6-23b7-4867-aa4b-54c5b95fe348"
sudo xzcat nanopc-t6_bookworm-v12-6.7-rc7.img.xz > /dev/mmcblk0

which gave me:

lsblk

Do you have spi flash on your model?

What is the output of: uname -a What is the output of: ls /dev/mtd*

mihaibuba commented 8 months ago

Thank you for answering so fast :) No, I do not have SPI flash. However it was able to boot from eMMC without a MicroSD using:

ls /dev/mtd ls: cannot access '/dev/mtd': No such file or directory


and here is a screenshot from mc:

When booted from removable mmc, do these steps:

wget https://github.com/inindev/nanopc-t6/releases/download/v12-6.7-rc7/nanopc-t6_bookworm-v12-6.7-rc7.img.xz
sudo su
xzcat nanopc-t6_bookworm-v12-6.7-rc7.img.xz > /dev/mmcblk0
shutdown -h now

power off and remove mmc card, then power back on:

I tried it, and this time I got the led to blink a few times after about 20 seconds, then it stopped. I hadn't noticed this before. I waited a few minutes, and tried to ssh into it using it's external IP, I got no answer. By the way, how did you get the U-Boot logs? Connecting trough HDMI doesn't work, right? I tried to write to the eMMC again while booted from microSD with the previously downloaded image, and now I got no blinking lights. At least now I have the hope of a little blinking light I can play with later :) image

You pretty much need a 3.3v serial cable if you are going to work on one of these raspberry-pi like devices. It is way too difficult to know what is going on without one. Note: Be sure you remove the mmc card before disassembling the case as it is easy to damage the socket if you forget.

The nanopc-t6 has a raspberry-pi compatible header on it: https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/File:NanoPC-T6-A01.jpg

serial2 is located on pins 6, 8, 10: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/images/GPIO-Pinout-Diagram-2.png

This is the serial module I prefer, but it does require soldering and extra leads: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09W2B61HW

This FTDI 3.3v cable is also a good choice: https://www.amazon.com/Serial-Adapter-Signal-FT232RL-Windows/dp/B08BLHGWHS

If you have not put a serial console on a rockchip device, they default to 1.5M baud. I use this serial terminal: https://github.com/inindev/goterm

Hello, I finally managed to get some time to work on this again. I am getting I/O errors from the eMMC. I have no idea if this is an issue with the hardware error or software error

Here is what I have after connecting via serial:

Starting kernel ...

But then panic ensued and no more blinking light :)

On a separate note, thank you so much for the tip on the hardware to use and the software to serial debug that was very useful for all of this! For everyone else reading this: It took a few tries to get this working, trying both pins 6,8,10 and the dedicated pins on the T6 but eventually I got it working. The layout for the dedicated pins was actually printed on the back of the board. I had connected the GND to GND and TX (board) to RX (USB) and RX (board) to TX (USB) Also the led on the USB I got doesn't blink for connections at 1.5M so that tripped me when trying to figure out why I wasn't seeing anything. So I ended up to trying various pins with the console open at 1.5M

After writing the image to /dev/mmcblk0 using xzcat and shutting down, then removing the MMC and powering back on, do you see it reboot once? When the /dev/mmcblk0 partition is new, it will reboot once after resizing the filesystem.

The bad sector errors are concerning as it makes it look like there is a problem with the emmc. I believe you said that you are able to boot the FriendlyElec image from /dev/mmcblk0 without issue?

mihaibuba commented 7 months ago

Yes, I was able to boot the FriendlyElec image from /dev/mmcblk0 without issue. I was also able to boot the newly written image once from /dev/mmcblk0. That is where the errors first showed up. On that first boot, I tried to login with the default user and password trough the serial. The logs for this attempt are in the second block of logs in my previous post. What I did was to try to run an apk update, at which point I got more errors. Then I rebooted. After the reboot I got the kernel panic. Also, here is what I found which might or might not explain the error, the memory frequency might need adjusting. https://forum.radxa.com/t/rock4-se-emmc-input-output-errors-read-only-fs/14406/14

We have recently reduced ROCK 4’s eMMC controller to HS200 24 as a workaround of some eMMC related issues. The updated kernel 21 should be available in production channel soon.

This is interesting. I wondered about this but saw the vendor device tree was highspeed:

&sdhci {
    bus-width = <8>;
    no-sdio;
    no-sd;
    non-removable;
    max-frequency = <200000000>;
    mmc-hs400-1_8v;
    mmc-hs400-enhanced-strobe;
    full-pwr-cycle-in-suspend;
    status = "okay";
};

https://github.com/friendlyarm/kernel-rockchip/blob/nanopi6-v6.1.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-nanopi6-common.dtsi

I will make a new device tree in a few hours with hs200 mode enabled for the emmc for you to try.

inindev commented 7 months ago

I compiled a device tree for the nanopc-t6 which puts the emmc into hs200 mode rather than hs400: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Hr7eQJnIbCSi5pq6ccBlVv4OdF_2o2p2/view?usp=sharing

After you xzcat the image to /dev/mmc0, mount the drive and replace rk3588-nanopc-t6.dtb-6.7.0-rc7-7-arm64 with the one linked above:

sudo su
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
cp rk3588-nanopc-t6.dtb /mnt/boot/rk3588-nanopc-t6.dtb-6.7.0-rc7-7-arm64
umnount /mnt

I just got to try this and I would like to report that the fix worked! I no longer get errors in the serial console, and I am able to boot without any issue from the eMMC Thank you so much for taking care of this issue so fast!

The latest kernel has hdmi, usb3, usb-c, and sound working on the nanopc-t6. Everything should now work the best it can at the moment (as far as I know).
