Green light always on

Jox · January 24, 2017, 07:02:11 PM

Hello

Been using this board for a long time, but I can't make it work anymore.

If I boot the onboard Android, everything is ok, but when I insert and microSD with Debian, the green light never blinks. It's on all the time. I get no video output, can't ping from another computer.... it seems dead.

Tried 2 different microSD cards, with an old backup I had from the before working image, but nothing.

Also tried a fresh install of Debian, but no effect.

Any clue

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try to read the console output from UART0 (the 3 pins near the RJ-45), maybe you can get a clue from that.

Jox · January 24, 2017, 09:13:18 PM

I don't have the equipment to do that

Trying Debian build 8 I get 2 frozen Tux penguins on the screen. No keyboard or mouse.

you need something like this:

serial RS-232 (3.3V level) to USB Adapter

Are you sure you are writing the right way on your SD-card?
Try the Installation tab from here. https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/allwinner/a20-olinuxino-lime2

Hey,

It seems like the board hangs early in the u-boot.

Are you using the image suitable for your board? Each board has official image available at it's wiki article. If you are not sure which is the correct image, please write the exact name and hardware of your board here, so we can suggest image to use.

Such a hang might occur also due to insufficient current available (voltage drop). Make sure to test with external power supply adapter capable of proving at least 10W of power.

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX

Thanks everyone !!

The USB-UART cable finally arrived.

This is the output I get. First, using SD card:

Any clue with that log ?

Ask if you need some more info.

LubOlimex · March 08, 2017, 10:46:27 AM

It seems like the board goes to sleep very fast (power down mode)! Did you try to wake it up with power button or recovery button?

Also it seems like you try to boot Android from the card also. Is this correct? I thought you try to boot Debian and Debian boot log looks different.

What exactly is your board (tell us the name and the hardware revision as printed on the board itself)? I can recommend you the exact image to use for testing.

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX

Jox · March 08, 2017, 03:57:24 PM

Thanks again. Model is A20-Olinuxino-Micro Rev.E

Will try your image, but first one more question: if it works ... is it safe to apt-get upgrade later or should I stick to that image?

LubOlimex · March 09, 2017, 12:53:11 PM

I ran apt-get upgrade today and this killed everything. Had to re-write the card. I would strongly suggest against running apt-get upgrade.

This is the torrent with the archive with Debian Jessie suitable for A20-OLinuXino-MICRO: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/images/7/78/A20_OLinuxino_Micro_debian_Jessie_34_103_2G_release_12.torrent

Jox · March 09, 2017, 05:35:41 PM

Ok, I've been testing today, but .... nothing is working.

I've tried 3 different MicroSD cards (Nokia 4GB class 4, Samsung 8GB class 10 and Kingston 16GB class 10). Also tried 2 power supplies 9V and 15V, both have above 1A output.

The results go here:

and the screen shows 2 Tux penguins but nothing happens. Green light on.

Onboard Android works ok, but does not recognize any SD or microSD I insert on the board.

Now... I am L O S T

At a guess the first two were not built for your board.

I don't know about the third one - but looks like it isn't the one Lub said as it says 3.4.90+ and his looks to be 3.4.103

LubOlimex · March 10, 2017, 09:11:02 AM

So the boot is stuck at "Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2..." - this is an indication of bad partitioning of the card or a bad card. You said you tested with "Nokia 4GB class 4" which is not possible since the official images are 8GB. Try to repair the card's partitioning or try a new card.

Use only dd to prepare the card without any parameters.

Also please test only with the image that I suggested in my previous post.

Best regards,
Lub/OLIMEX

Jox · March 14, 2017, 07:43:53 PM

I've tried that image with 3 different microSD cards, all of them 16GB. Also tried dd command from a Debian and Windows 7 using Win32DiskImager. All the time I get this:

U-Boot SPL 2015.10-rc1-00448-ge2c1c5b (Aug 12 2015 - 04:34:25)
DRAM: 1024 MiB
CPU: 912000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2
Could not determine boot source

resetting ...

Another problem is that, although you say the image is 8GB, the .img file I get after extracting from the .7z is only 2GB.

Sorry for being so tiresome, but nothing seems to work right ....
