Hi @frank-w
While your Uboot and Linux repos are supporting to build bpi-r4lite,
the Images repo currently not support for that, right?
Right,have not added it yet as buildchains and also integration for binaries in image repo is not ready…have currently other tasks (6.18 breaks mt7987 clock driver,r4pro support also ongoing)
But basicly you can download and set the r4lite img.gz with skipubootdownload=1 and use at least kernel 6.17-main.
I can build uboot for bpi-r4lite, but it is not supported to run “buildimg.sh bpi-r4lite noble” to create R4Lite Ubuntu Noble.
yes, but you can download already built https://github.com/frank-w/u-boot/releases/download/CI-BUILD-2025-10-bpi-2025.10-2025-10-13_1032/bpi-r4lite_sdmmc.img.gz and then use
skipubootdownload=1
imgfile=bpi-r4lite_sdmmc.img.gz
in the sourcefiles_bpi-r4.conf to build the image. you will need kernel with r4lite support too
noticed, that filename is r4lite and not r4…r4 kernel is for r4, r4lite and r4pro so the name of archive is currently wrong…need to investigate
Do you mean to run “buildimg.sh bpi-r4 noble” with the r4lite Uboot plus r4lite kernel (at most 6.17) to create Ubuntu Noble image, and flash it to r4lite board?
yes, but prepare your sourcefiles_bpi-r4.conf before to use manual downloaded r4lite sdcard img gz and kernel file like described in readme
Hi, I tried to build with this
— sourcefiles_bpi-r4.conf —
skipubootdownload=1
imgfile=bpi-r4lite_sdmmc.img.gz
kernelfile=bpi-r4lite_6.17.0-main.tar
I got here, which is farthest I have gotten yet. What did I miss?

Please put bootlog in code tags and a bit more from the log…i guess the overlay for sdmmc was not applied and so sdmmc is not available as /devmcblk0. This is shown in uboot when loading kernel and in linux bootlog listing partitions.
Also go to uboot console and run setbootconf and show output.
Interesting will be this part:
It should show #ov-lite-sd

[ 1.946849] Rebooting in 10 seconds..
Ok,you are booting emmc?
Looks like be detected…
This too…
Any errors from building? Maybe installing rootfs failed somehow
This looks strange,have you modiefied the partition?
I don’t recall any errors, but the build takes several minutes and I have done so many I walked away to do something else. I just flashed the img to a SD card and booted it (all 4 switches down), and it loaded up, and I was able to login. However, I get that error when I try and boot eMMC (all 4 switches up). I flashed eMMC from the NAND OpenWrt using the resulting image file “bpi-r4_noble_6.17.0-main_sdmmc.img.gz” from the script…
gunzip -c /mnt/sda1/bpi-r4_noble_6.17.0-main_sdmmc.img.gz | dd bs=1M conv=notrunc,fsync of=/dev/mmcblk0
You use same image for sd and emmc? Basicly it boots, but i wonder why you come that far when using the sd fip. Have you flashed bl2 to boot0? Or was this already there?
I have spent a few days trying to get the eMMC to run what I flashed it. I previously flashed boot0 with “bpi-r4lite_emmc_bl2.img”. This got me passed the System Halt and onward to “Jump to BL” Uboot. But nothing really past that until today when I ran your script.
This says sdmmc “bpi-r4lite_sdmmc.img.gz”. Is there supposed to be different images for SD card and eMMC? I thought they were combined? Just for eMMC the Bl2 needs a separate flash?
I looked back at the build script. It did have these separate things pop up in the log…
E: Can not write log (Is /dev/pts mounted?) - posix_openpt (19: No such device)
/proc/ is not mounted, but required for successful operation of systemd-tmpfiles. Please mount /proc/. Alternatively, consider using the --root= or --image= switches.
/proc/ is not mounted. This is not a supported mode of operation. Please fix
your invocation environment to mount /proc/ and /sys/ properly. Proceeding anyway.
Your mileage may vary.
Rootfs is same,but bl2 and fip differ…but it looks like you are past this point as linux already booted.
Not sure why but my Nand install of OpenWRT now does not boot…

This does not look like my bl2 for r4lite,more like some downstream bl2. Downstream openwrt uses a special nmbm layer for nand which is not compatible to the standard mtd+ubi.
Partition layout for sdmmc looks good. Not sure why it cannot be mounted.
That last message is the NAND failing to boot the factory installed OpenWRT (Top Part), but the bottom code block is the lsblk from the SD card booted. I was wondering if there is some issue, I thought the SD card was supposed to use mmcblk1, but then I said I flashed the same img from your scripts to both emmc and the SD card, so maybe that is why the SD card shows mmcblk0 instead of mmcblk1. I am wondering if that has anything to do with anything.
I wanted to get back into the OpenWRT on NAND so I can look at the actual eMMC. I have no way to access it right now with NAND not booting.
There should be only mmcblk0 (not 1). And i guess my nand layout (ubifs) breaks downstream nand layout (with properitary NMBM).
But still strange why sdmmc image works on emmc and booted till mounting rootfs. Possibly there were write errors while writing to emmc due to different settings and working due to same bitwidth and speed.
