The result of executing the pacman -Syu command led to the inability to boot the system. Can anyone tell me what the reason for what happened?

Before start upgrade :

[root@bpir64 ~]# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root       3.7G  1.9G  1.8G  51% /

Thanks for reporting.

There was a major update on ArchLinux, important libraries got updated. These errors would occur.

bpir64-mkimage: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fiptool: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This means that the packages bpir64-mkimage and bpit64-atf-git need to be rebuild. You could do it yourself from the AUR, but Iā€™ve done it already. So execute the chroot on the card by starting the build.sh script without parameters

Then update the packages:

pacman -Scc  (Yes/Yes)
pacman -Sy bpir64-mkimage bpir64-atf-git

Iā€™ll see if I can get these packages not relying on these libraries.

Iā€™ve also updated the packages in the backuprepo

43

The packages bpir64-mkimage and bpir64-atf-git do not rely on libssl or libcrypto anymore. The executeables did not use the libraries for anything used in the script. Packages are updated, also bumped a new rev. number, so it is enough to do:

pacman -Sy bpir64-mkimage bpir64-atf-git

Although the atf package is normally being ignored, update it now anyway.

Also Linux Kernel on the (backup) site is now on version 6.0.10.

44

Thanks for the answer! Iā€™m sorry, I donā€™t know much about this. I re-recorded provided your minimalistic image on the SD card. I mounted the SD card on a Linux PC, but I couldnā€™t find the script there build.sh

If I just execute commands on a mini-image 1.1 vers.:

pacman -Sy bpir64-mkimage bpir64-atf-git
pacman -Syu

This will lead to a successful update, or still need to somehow execute the script build.sh without parameters ?

45

You should now be updated to the newest packages.

46

An error occurred while trying to update the package:

You need to use the y also, to make sure you get the newest database of files to download. Then it knows the filename of the newest version is bpir64-mkimage-2021.10-2-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz mind the -2-.

So please use:

pacman -Sy bpir64-mkimage

My mywire.org site is down at the moment, it will give an error, but it should get it from the backup location.

Thanks again for working on this image and helping, thanks to your answers. Now the kernel is 6.0.10-bpi-r64-1

The image is really good, fast and easily and understandably configurable, unlike Ubuntu, where the network could not be configured at all, no matter how hard I tried.

Everything works out of the box here, but I had an idea to turn off and turn on WiFi AP and green Led for clarity using the WPS button. I was looking for information on how to do this and found that it is necessary to handle the interrupt via LKM, and for compilation, kernel headers are needed.

After the current update, I found something similar here :

ls /usr/lib/modules/6.0.10-bpi-r64-1/build/include/linux

I hope this is what need.

49

I have not done something with the LEDs myself but there was some info shared about it in this post, starting at nr 27. if you scroll up. Maybe also there is more info about LEDs in another topic.

You can start/stop AP simply be starting and stopping the hostapd service.

Edit:

I think you should be able to get gpio-keys events and/or status by using evtest in a scriptā€¦ Make sure it has enough permission, run as root for trying out.

If it turns out you need a kernel module (lkm) which is not present in the bpir64 archlinux kernel, then let me know and I could include it in the next build.

50

I tried to compile and load LKM using examples. The ā€œHello Worldā€ project is ok, but the example with an interrupt from gpio could not be implemented.

I was trying to figure out what the reason might be and noticed that :

ls: cannot access '/sys/class/gpio/': No such file or directory

I donā€™t understand this, but maybe the kernel is built without kernel-option CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS but with LEDS_GPIO [=y], because ls /sys/class/leds/ shows leds

51

Check of this post:

52

Itā€™s probably different here. I have a difficulty in the issue with the button. There are no issues with LED, they are visible in the sysfs file system. But there is no GPIO for buttons in the sysfs file system in this kernel.

ls: cannot access '/sys/class/gpio/': No such file or directory

53

Try building with CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS like you mentioned above

54

Next build available for download will be with GPIO_SYSFS=y.

However, It will be quite easy to use the command evtest, you do not need GPIO_SYSFS.

First install evtest

pacman -Sy evtest

Then execute it:

sudo evtest /dev/input/event0 
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x1 product 0x1 version 0x100
Input device name: "gpio-keys"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
  Event type 1 (EV_KEY)
    Event code 256 (BTN_0)
    Event code 529 (KEY_WPS_BUTTON)
Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Event: time 1670922556.516171, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 529 (KEY_WPS_BUTTON), value 1
Event: time 1670922556.516171, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1670922556.848191, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 529 (KEY_WPS_BUTTON), value 0
Event: time 1670922556.848191, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------

The output is easy to use in a script.

Execute this script:

#!/bin/bash
evtest /dev/input/event0 | \
while read line
do
  if [[ "$line" == *"(KEY_WPS_BUTTON), value 1"* ]]; then
    echo "WPS BUTTON PRESSED!"
  fi
done

This is a nice solution, because it is waiting for the event. This is better then continuously polling the state of the button.

Anyway, if you upgrade now to linux 6.0.12, GPIO_SYSFS will be enabled. (if you are already on this version then delete it from cache and re-install)

[root@bpir64 ~]# ls /sys/class/gpio/
export	gpiochip405  gpiochip409  unexport
55

After running the build script with -a I receiving the following error.

Edit:

DidnĀ“t realize there was a link to a build version in the first post.

56

The build version is a bit old, but you could use it to try out.

I thought I had all quirks ironed out of the script by now, but somehow there is still one.

Perhapse you can help me to find out whatā€™s going wrong over there:

cd buildR64arch
git pull
./build.sh -a

and post what it echoā€™s for

BASH_SOURCE:
Current dir:

You can XXX out your usernameā€¦

(It seems the script does not have permission to the current directory, which should have been set by the script to the directory the script is located. Since it is created by the user with git clone, it should have permission. So something unexpected happens, which does not happen on any of my systems)

57

You can find Arch Linux packages in:

https://archlinuxarm.org/packages

or if it is not there, you need to build it from the AUR.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages

Building from the AUR you can do manually, or choose to use yay.

Which package you are looking for?

58

I just used the built image in the first post.

59

If you like, I have updated the downloadable image to v1.2.

It has kernel 6.1.7 and is build with latest version of script. Have not tested it yetā€¦
