I copied the Pinebook Pro u-boot binaries from
uboot-images-armv8-2023.10-0.4.rc3.fc39.noarch.rpm
(
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2277261)
from /usr/share/uboot/pinebook-pro-rk3399/ to a μSD card (previously
formatted using spi-flashing disk script). Then I did the steps from
https://nullr0ute.com/2021/05/fedora-on-the-pinebook-pro/ "Write the
firmware to flash" section.
Unfortunately, after reset (or power-off/power-on cycle), I get this:
...
U-Boot SPL 2023.10-rc3 (Aug 21 2023 - 00:00:00 +0000)
Trying to boot from SPI
Trying to boot from MMC1
mmc_load_image_raw_sector: mmc block read error
Trying to boot from SPI
Trying to boot from MMC2
Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110
spl: mmc init failed with error: -95
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
I checked the spi-flashing-disk script, and all it does is create a vfat
formatted partition and copy the 4 binaries from the directory
corresponding to the board model. I think I did everything correctly, so
is the new u-boot broken on PBP?
I've confirmed a similar problem, I was testing some of this on the
PBP against RC2 as I was developing it but never tested the RC3. Any
chance you can grab one of the RC2 builds from koji [1] and see if you
have better luck? Also maybe 2023.07 from koji too. I'll try and get
to the bottom of this in the next week or so.
