[opensuse-arm] trying out Jeos for nanopi neo air
I've just booted a nanopi neo air with http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/Nano... and I am greeted with: Ubuntu 15.10 FriendlyARM ttyS0 FriendlyARM login: ??? The default login as per https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:NanoPi_Neo_Air doesn't work either. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.1°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Having also tried with nanopineo Leap15 from ports (which worked fine), it appears the problem is in in the lack of a boot.scr file (in the above). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.8°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

As a reminder, I prepared that image about two years ago, and this is the first real test feedback we're getting - that's why it's not in Factory:ARM:Live but in Contrib:NanoPiNeo. So you'll need to investigate any problems at your own, as no one else here seems to have that board. It sounds to me as if it's booting from eMMC and doesn't support UEFI yet. Then instead of adding an older boot method to our image, you should upgrade your U-Boot on eMMC - extract the /boot/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin from our rpm u-boot-nanopineoair and dd it to its expected location of seek=8k on the eMMC's mmcblkX - compare other boards' HCL Wiki pages, e.g., Pine64. Depending on how the Neo Air's boot flow is, erasing U-Boot on eMMC might also make it fall back to SD, but having it on SPI or eMMC would seem preferable, as you can then have a "normal" GPT on SD. If the Neo Air does come with eMMC pre-populated, then we can drop this JeOS-nanopineoair image and instead use JeOS-efi after upgrading U-Boot. We may need to add another dtb package to JeOS-efi then.

I've had two for about two years, when I started with them, I had to do most of the work by hand :-) I'm repeating it now because the SD card started failing.
It sounds to me as if it's booting from eMMC and doesn't support UEFI yet.
Afaict, it's simply because the image above does not have the boot.scr. Today I switched to using the leap15 nanopineo appliance from ports/ - http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/distribution/leap/15.0/appliances... That's working a lot better, but I'm having trouble getting the wifi to work.

Thanks, I'll check this out. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.4°C) member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

After checking for boot.scr it should check for efi/boot/bootarm.efi. So as I said, if it doesn't do that, your U-Boot is too old or misconfigured and needs to be replaced. Our image surely does not contain Ubuntu, so that must be coming from somewhere other than our image! Either it's on an internal boot medium, or you're having difficulties writing our image to SD card and have leftovers on that card.

Okay, that makes sense.

Yes, this seems to be what FriendlyARM supplies by default. I've made quite a bit of progress now, Leap15 is running from SD. I almost have wireless working, just now getting crda and wireless-regdb installed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.7°C) member, openSUSE heroes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
