where is the problem ???

#2

you have installed the uImage with dtb or without? the combined uImage has to be loaded without the extra dtb (leave question empty)

#3
  1. pack
  2. install to SD-Card
  3. deb-package
  4. upload

I copied by hand option 1)

install asks for installing uImage with dtb (default) or separate, pack has both kernel files and dtb (=3 files)

so either you use uImage_nodt and dtb or only uImage (leave dtb empty)

install also shows what to add to uEnv.txt (kernel=…) for automatic boot

please select your output and then press the </> button…this indents the output by 4 spaces and makes it better readable

tried booting the uImage (with dtb) by leaving dtb-question empty…same output as yours and boots

compilation requires special options ?

#7

if you have it compiled with my build.sh (like it looks for me) it should work…if you do manual install you may miss any step

please use the </> button to format your output the right way (select the text and press the button)…you can use preview function to verify before sending

Possible that gcc version has problem,you could try use gcc 10 or files from github releases

thank you Frank

#12

Was gcc 11 the cause?

#13

no 11 is ok , there are still a few problems but you did a great job

#14

why was it not booting?

ah, i see you switched to 6.1…is 5.15 currently broken (maybe it can be fixed with updating point-release)?

6.1. does not support internal wifi from r2

#15

i know i read your github

#18

Have updated all lts branches,maybe there is a backported fix for gcc11 in 5.15. just try again :slight_smile: as you got 6.1 working,you know the steps

#19

Thanks, I’ll check that and the wifi :slightly_smiling_face:
