A10 on A20 Lime board

[woj]

Hi!

In my last part of Olimex board I ordered some A10 Lime boards. One of them is hybrid processor A10 on A20 lime board. I noticed it after some time, because at first this board start working with Android. The behavior was a little bit wayward. Sometimes it did not want to boot, sometimes boot faster than other. Finally it stop working at all. Then I check board preciselly and noticed, that the processor is placed on wrong board.
Is there any chance to put this board back to work?

Greetings!

> In my last part of Olimex board I ordered some A10 Lime boards. One of them is hybrid processor A10 on A20 lime board.

So all boards have A10 chip?

Consider that A10 and A20 chips are pin-to-pin compatible, drop-in replaceable. The A10-OLinuXino-LIME and A20-OLinuXino-LIME boards use the same board PCB just different processors are placed during manufacturing. Hardware-wise the PCB is the same.

Thanks for answer.

> So all boards have A10 chip?

No. As I wrote only one of them is a hybrid.

I know that A10 and A20 are pin-to-pin and drop-in replaceable. Is there no difference on PCB like clock frequency?

I am asking, because at the begining this hybrid board work. It was booted faster than normal A10 Lime. After some time during starting it halted showing Android booting screen. I waited aruond 5 minutes, but the system did not start. So I turn off power and turn in on again. The Android did not boot at all, even if I use SD card with new image.
After one month it start working, but after some time situation repeated. From that time board is dead.
Could you give me any suggestion what to do with it?

Some software configurations might be different for the A10 and A20 chip. So if the board has A20 chip, use the Android for A20-OLinuXino-LIME, instead of the Android for the A10-OLinuXino-LIME. Images and links can be found here: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-OLinuXino-LIME

The A20 chip is faster and more expensive, should be able to handle Android better.

[woj]

Repeating: I have A10 processor on A20 Lime board.
So for A10 chip I always used Android for A10, because I suspected different software configuration as you mentioned. The board is not working as I described already. How change configuration for A10 processor to work on A20 Lime board?

[LubOlimex]

OK. Maybe I didn't explain it good enough.

This is not a mistake in assembly. In short: the white print on the PCB of product "A10-OLinuXino-LIME" is supposed to say "A20-OLinuXino-Lime".

This is because the PCB is the same for products "A10-OLinuXino-LIME" and "A20-OLinuXino-LIME". If you got A20-OLinuXino-LIME PCB with A10 chip, then this is product "A10-OLinuXino-LIME". I got one product "A10-OLinuXino-LIME" board from the shop and took a picture so you can compare. Product "A10-OLinuXino-LIME" looks like in this two pictures: https://imgur.com/a/03KFpSy

As you see the PCB says A20-OLinuXino-Lime...

[woj]

OK. I have it. It does not solve my problem, but at least I know that there is no hardware mistake.

Alright, so what are the hardware revisions of the rest of the boards and this board? Are all A10 boards the same hardware revision? The hardware revision should be printed below the name of the board.

Is there something strange in the logs of the board that stops working or when it doesn't want to boot? Like error message or something that can be used to debug the issue? How are the LEDs behaving in case of failed boot or when it stops working?

[woj]

This board is Rev.H. I do not know revision of the rest of the boards, because I have sell them already. I suspect, that they shoud have the same revision, because I bought them in one parcel in July 2018.

The power LED is shining. Today during test also start shining green Status LED (LED1).
I checked the boot messages using UART0. It stops always at the moment:

I forgot to mention, that I have checked all power test pads. All power supply: 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.5V and 1.2V are correct.

Greetings!

Which image exactly you used for this test? Or a at least can you point me to the base image before editing the script files?

From this log it appears that some partition can't be found since after that stoppage point the following should appear:

mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address 0007                   
mmcblk0: mmc0:0007 SD4GB 3.70 GiB                               
mmcblk0: p1 p2

Not sure why, maybe try preparing another card.

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX

I use three images for tests. First is official Olimex Android release 1 for SD card:
https://www.olimex.com/wiki/images/1/19/A10_lime_android_SD_Olimex_release_1.torrent
Second is the same image edited and adjusted by me.
Third is the official Olimex Debian 3.4.90 release 3:
https://www.olimex.com/wiki/images/4/46/A10_Lime_debian_3.4.90_release_3.torrent

All of them finish boot at the same moment:
    Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2...

I used four or five SD cards from three manufactors. All of them give the same results.

I have also A10 Lime rev.E board send back to me by my contractor as broken one.
It also stop booting in the same moment.

Do you have any idea?

Greetings,
Woj

[LubOlimex]

Wait, the board in questions doesn't boot with Linux Debian either?

Well, this lowers the chances of software or configuration problem, maybe this board has a hardware problem of some kind. It might be hard to determine what exactly broke and why over the forums. I recommend you to send me an e-mail over support@olimex.com so we can give you further instructions, make sure to include a link this forum thread so we can skip initial instructions.

[woj]

Thank you!
I wrote email to support@olimex.com and waiting for an answer.

Greetings!
Woj
