Unstable boot

[tuuzdu]

Hello! I built image for Rock64 on Raspberry Pi 3 NixOS. I dumped image on sd card and started it on Rock64. Then I have problem with boot of device. Sometimes it boot, sometimes - doesn't. Also I had different errors withnixos-rebuild. Booting log:

What is wrong? What is yours method of building image?

[thefloweringash]

Hi. Thanks for trying this project out. I haven't seen these kinds of problems, so I don't have any particular recommendations to fix them. It's a good idea to rule out any hardware issues first, like a bad sd card or power supply. Does it work if you use a different linux distribution, for example, [ayufan's bionic minimal image][]?

I build the image on a hydra running on the rock64 itself. If you want to try an image built on my hydra, there's one here.

[ayufan's bionic minimal image]: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases/download/0.7.9/bionic-minimal-rock64-0.7.9-1067-arm64.img.xz

[tuuzdu]

I used my rock64 with Iota node a lot of time and I am sure in eMMC and power supply. I will try yours image at first and then write about it. Thanks you.

[tuuzdu]

I tried yours image with new sd card and it's working! Can you show me boot log from yours device for compare?

About eMMC, I think than it has problems yet :( I have same issue. Are you use sd card or eMMC?

[thefloweringash]

It's been a while since I've given this project much attention. In that time:

• NixOS has included a rock64 boot loader ubootRock64
• Ayufan's linux kernel has had many updates. The current kernel in this is from his 0.6.14 release.

I've pushed a branch to switch to the upstream boot loader, and I'll work on updating the kernel.

As for my system. I have my uboot, linux kernel, and initrd on a microSD card, which then boots from a USB3 attached sata ssd.

[tuuzdu]

Thanks, I will try new branch to build image.

I don't have USB3-SATA cable yet, but I view at choice with SSD, because I want to try launch Ethereum client, that require a lot of space.

[thefloweringash]

I've updated the kernel and boot loader, and tested booting it on my rock64.

• nixos-sd-image-18.03.133157.fde20125199-aarch64-linux.img

[tuuzdu]

Great work! I have built image with updated boot before and have same problems with emmc. Probably it is hardware problem in rock64 because emmc is ok. I will try new image and solve problems with emmc in near time.

[tuuzdu]

Now boot is stable. I catch these errors only. Is it ok?

I have tested image more with latest version of repository. Booting is working good.
