Hi,

It is very strange to hear that. I deployed this image to couple of Rock64-s week ago. So, could you please be more specific? What are you trying to do exactly?

You are supposed to download openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-rock64.aarch64-2020.01.30-Build5.29.raw.xz uncompress it with `xz -d openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-rock64.aarch64-2020.01.30-Build5.29.raw.xz` and write .raw file to microsd card as the following `dd_rescue openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-JeOS-rock64.aarch64-2020.01.30-Build5.29.raw /dev/your_sd_card_here`. That's what i did, but i'll try it again. I didn't get any errors when writing the image. This time, i'll wipe the sd card and create one fat

Do you have usb rs232 ttl converter to attach the Rock64 console? What does it say?

i did, but i don't remember. It didn't get very far. If it fails this time, i'll copy and paste the output. Thanks

Thorston/All,

i just wanted to report that there are not Rock64 microOS images, only images for the older pine64.

Also, the instructions on the Rock64 openSUSE wiki don't work (exactly as they are), using the below linked image file. I don't know what the corresponding "packages" file is for or how to use it, so it was not used in any way. The Rock64 The "packages" file is just the list of installed packages in this *.raw.xz image.

...

openSUSE wiki page didn't mention anything about it. Probably why the board won't boot... :)

Any tips appreciated. Added Matwey in Cc who may help.

Cheers, Guillaume

If the proprietary boot-loader works, then the issue should be reported to u-boot maillist.

It booted the first time after installing the proprietary bootloader, and got all the way to the login prompt, but at that point showed some btrfs filesystem error, and i was unable to login or connect via ssh. I rewrote the files to the sd card (and another card) and now it boots but keeps failing to get to the login prompt with different sd card/filesystem related errors, with the latest round of errors (these have been the same the last few times i've tried it) pasted here: https://pastebin.com/QBrR3KsL I have not had any problems with these sd cards otherwise. Is there any specific preparation i should do before rewriting the files to the sd card to try again? btw, my board says "Rock64 v2.0 2017-0713". thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I Could you please try another microsd card? There should be no any btrfs errors on brand new JeOS image.

I already tried the only two spare cards i have. I just ordered some Sandisk Industrial micro sd cards. If that doesn't work out, i'll get an eMMC module and usb adapter and try that. Once i can verify with working storage, i'll report the u-boot issue, as i didn't buy this *more open* board to run a proprietary anything... I'll also look into adding a note to the wiki about the Rock64 version 2, depending on what happens.

Three possible reasons it fails:

1. bad board 2. initial timing settings too much off for the training to lock 3. unknown/new/different RAM chips which require a different setting

Obviously, your RAM configuration is different from Matweys:
