[BPI-R64] new image: debian buster for emmc/sd

Hi

i created a basic debian buster-image for r64 EMMC

  • user/pw: root/bananapi
  • lan-Ports have IP 192.168.0.18/24
  • wan-Port is dhcp enabled
  • openssh-server with PermitRootlogin=yes (should be changed if new users are created)
  • Kernel: 5.4-rc1 (currently very limited but can be replaced)

how to flash:

  1. booting with SD-Card and write preloader from here (maybe adjust mmcblk1 to mmcblk0 if mmc-devices swapped in your sd-image):
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk1boot0/force_ro
dd if=preloader_evb7622_64_foremmc.bin of=/dev/mmcblk1boot0
  1. If you have not yet used emmc on your board you have to set PARTITION_CONFIG using mmc-tool (see my second post here) root@bpi-r64:~# ./mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0 mmc-binary is in same gdrive-folder as image

  2. flashing buster-image to emmc-user-Partition

#md5sum -c r64_buster_emmc_rtl8367.img.gz.md5
gunzip r64_buster_emmc_rtl8367.img.gz
dd if=r64_buster_emmc_rtl8367.img of=/dev/mmcblk1
  1. maybe replace uboot (if you need netboot with mt7531-switch)
dd if=u-boot-mtk_r64_emmc_mt7531_gcc8.3.bin of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1k seek=768
  1. powerdown + eject sd-card + power up
  2. configure
  • /etc/hostname
  • /etc/resolv.conf (dns-server)
  • /etc/network/interfaces (ip-configuration)
  • /boot/bananapi/bpi-r64/linux/uEnv.txt (kernel+fdt), change/append this if you have new r64 board (mt7531):
kernel=uImage
fdt=mt7622-bananapi-bpi-r64.dtb

Kernel 5.4 with mt7531 is not ready yet

Tried it with my R64. It doesn’t work for me:

I powered down. Took out MicroSD. Powered up again:

System halt!

Any ideas? :frowning:

Let me try it,currently tested only on my old board. I guessed only uboot is broken because i used armbian-image and preloader for new board

It seems preloader does not get loaded. Could you try change bootswitch (near back pcie-slot)

Maybe using mmc-utils to check partconf (boot0 active flag)

Will not have much time this weekend :frowning:

have reproduced it on my new r64 (preloader gets not loaded and print only bootrom-numbers), bootswitch made no change…

and it looks like same problem we had on r2

root@bpi-r64:~# ./mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk0 | grep PARTITION_CONFIG          
Boot configuration bytes [PARTITION_CONFIG: 0x00]                               
root@bpi-r64:~# ./mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0                          
root@bpi-r64:~# ./mmc extcsd read /dev/mmcblk0 | grep PARTITION_CONFIG          
Boot configuration bytes [PARTITION_CONFIG: 0x48]                               
root@bpi-r64:~# 

after that i see preloader booting

i had only flashed preloader till now…

i compiled mmcutils from my 4.14-main branch the following way:

utils/mmc$ ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make

and uploaded it in the image-dir linked above

Zusammenfassung

btw. on my new r64 i want to try to make boot manually (check bootheaders needed), have now flashed uboot and mbr partition table (from sdcard), but still failing on second bootloader failed

PL fatal error...

no idea why now tee2 comes up…maybe we need some more headers on emmc like on sdcard…

sudo dd if=$HEAD0 	of=$O bs=512 seek=0 #0
sudo dd if=$HEAD1 	of=$O bs=512 seek=1 #512 = 0x200

sudo dd if=$PRELOADER 	of=$O bs=1k seek=2 #2k = 0x800

sudo dd if=$ATF 	of=$O bs=1k seek=512 #512k = 0x80000

it seems i need to write all headers above to emmc user-part (also sd-card preloader) to load uboot on emmc

i have added a package with script to initialize emmc (set partition config and write all bootheaders incl. uboot and partitiontable) from a debian-based sdcard-image (uses apt to install dosfstools to format boot-partition)

then you can add any rootfs and kernel to the partitions
