Hi Folks,
The 2023.10 RC series are now landing in F-39 and rawhide. There's
been the beginnings of a few enhancements.
The first one that is noticeable is a bootmenu during the firmware
init process where it will allow you to select the device/partition
you wish to boot from, with the default selected and the usual time
out. It should make things a little easier for things like
reinstalling off a USB stick for devices that support that sort of
install.
I've done some testing across a bunch of devices, various RPi, the
Pinebook pro and numerous SBCs so I think it should work just fine, at
least be no different than the usual process but I'd like to hear any
feedback.
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?
Regards,
Dominik

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
