[BPI-M3] how to use fatload uEnv.txt & script.bin & kernel uImage

linux-bananapi-bpi-m3-kernel3_1.2.6_armhf.deb:

step 1: dpkg -i linux-bananapi-bpi-m3-kernel3_1.2.6_armhf.deb step 2: bpi-bootsel /usr/lib/u-boot/bananapi/bpi-m3/BPI_M3_720P.img.gz step 3: cd /media/pi/BPI-BOOT ; tar xvf BPI-BOOT-bpi-m3.tgz step 4: cd bananapi/bpi-m3/linux ; vi uEnv.txt (if you want to change) step 5: reboot

how to boot with SATA rootfs:

# vi uEnv.txt
# ref. sys_config.fex, use default script.bin
bootargs=enforcing=1 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/sda2 rootwait init=/init vmalloc=384M ion_cma_list="120m,176m,512m" loglevel=8 bootmenutimeout=10 datadev=sda2

how to boot with USB DISK rootfs:
# vi uEnv.txt
# ref. sys_config.fex, use default script.bin
bootargs=enforcing=1 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/sdb2 rootwait init=/init vmalloc=384M ion_cma_list="120m,176m,512m" loglevel=8 bootmenutimeout=10 datadev=sdb2

for berryboot env. use only: bootmenutimeout=XXX datadev=XXX

Interesting: Defining $scrip and trying to load $script

Did you already thought about testing the stuff you release at least once?

3

yes, we will update a new image use this way, and will keep update it.

@sinovoip @BPI_Justin speaking english, we never challenge you - but reading carefully !!! He (Dragan) makes a point here !

scrip script

can you see the difference ??

Wake up, update the github NOW, yes now. Don’t wait it will not take long.

Hi, i think that there is something missing between step 2 and 3.

step 1: dpkg -i linux-bananapi-bpi-m3-kernel3_1.2.6_armhf.deb step 2: bpi-bootsel /usr/lib/u-boot/bananapi/bpi-m3/BPI_M3_720P.img.gz i think that /media/… need to be mounted first i´m not able to find BPI-BOOT-bpi-m3.tgz step 3: cd /media/pi/BPI-BOOT ; tar xvf BPI-BOOT-bpi-m3.tgz

just installing the new kernel in step 2 fixed my “killed” issue. but i would really like to use script.bin & uEnv.txt.

may i ask you to provide BPI-BOOT-bpi-m3.tgz and all required steps? i know a little bit about unix but i´m not a pro.

regards

sorry , i have share it on google drive:

Why do you always choose the most moronic way possible?!

I took you nearly a year to figure out how to load simple files from within u-boot (script.bin/uEnv.txt). Of course you have to implement it in a way no one figures out how to use it (read the questions above?! Do you suffer from autism or why don’t you get it that the paths where your u-boot code looks into are neither explained by you nor self-explanatory?!)

Now you that you figured out how to load different files from within u-boot why do you still rely on this moronic bpi-bootsel crap? If you want to provide one crappy OS image for all boards why not doing it right and detect the hardware in u-boot and load the correct environment/kernel for the board in questions?

Did you ever try to look at your work from a customer’s perspective?

This is still wrong. Unbelievable. You provide instructions that can not work due to syntax errors and even if you’re notified you do not update it. Why?
