From: Vagrant Cascadian <vagr...@debian.org> To: Wolf <lxde...@zirdeon.com>, 1033...@bugs.debian.org Date: Sunday, 2 April 2023 at 22:13 Subject: Bug#1033845: u-boot fails to boot on pinebook pro if installed on internal emmc
Control: severity 1033845 important Given that this only affects a single platform, and there are other tested working boot options for this platform, I am downgrading the severity to important.
So far ok if you consider it so. Actually I thought 'severity' because more or less you brick it if you install on the internal emmc due to the boot selection and you have to recover with screwdriver, DIP switching off the internal emmc, booting from the microSD and stopping at the u-boot prompt, DIP switching on the internal emmc and rescanning the mmc's to be able to boot.
So far I have only ever tested booting from microSD...
Yes, that works, as long as nothing bad is installed on the internal emmc or SPL.
Did this work on previous versions?
Not with the Debian u-boot package, because I could boot Debian with the pre-installed and I just recently upgraded the u-boot, because I wanted the u-boot prompt on LCD.
Does it work on the version in experimental (currently 2023.04~rc5*)?
No, it does not: pinebook-pro-rk3399_defconfig of 2023.04~rc5: # CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT is not set # CONFIG_MMC_HS200_SUPPORT is not set # CONFIG_SPL_MMC_HS200_SUPPORT is not set However, the SPL settings are just precaution, because I have the intention to try again installing u-boot in SPL if I find time enough to do so, also for brick/recover actions.
Would you consider submitting a patch upstream?
Sure, I can do so however, I was reading that a bug report should be always done to the distribution. Anyway, should I then report in general u-boot related bugs with patches upstream? Because there is another bug screwing up the LCD on reboot or just a reset command from u-boot prompt and if I have time enough I might hunt it. Cheers, Wolf
