This bug is just to delay migration to testing while more platforms get
tested. If you have a relevent board, please consider testing and
reporting the status:

Pushed a fix for the pinebook-pro-rk3399 to the debian/sid branch by
pulling a patch from upstream:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/u-boot/-/commit/2557bb1b4be611fb1d8f96d7de79914ca21fa2b6

This fix landed in upstream in 2023.01-rc4.

Still need to dig out the odroid-c2 and possibly troubleshoot if there
is something in the flashing process that has changed, or ... bisect
upstream git.

I have not received many test results for current or even remotely
recent u-boot platforms in Debian, and u-boot has been blocked from
migration to testing partly because of this.

As the bookworm freeze approaches, this is getting to be... worrysome!

If you have access to any of these boards, please consider testing
u-boot versions as packaged in debian for versions from debian stable
(2021.01*), testing (2022.04*), unstable (2022.10*) and experimental
(2023.01-rc*) and updating the wiki page if successful and/or replying
to 101...@bugs.debian.org with a positive confirmation...

...and if not successful, filing bugs against the relevent u-boot-*
packages and marking them as blocking 1016963.

Raspberry Pi 4B (8GB) running bullseye, but does not seem to have any version of u-boot installed. Weird?
Running <aptitude versions '?name(u-boot)'> tells me that the following (among lots of others) versions are available. Should I install one of them and see what happens?

Package u-boot-rpi:
p 2021.01+dfsg-5 stable 500

Package u-boot-rpi:armhf:
p 2021.01+dfsg-5 stable 500

A Cubox-i running Debian bullseye (11.6). According to <aptitude versions> It has "u-boot-tools" (version 2021.01+dfsg-5) installed, but none of the u-boot-<arch> packages installed.

If I reboot it and watch the serial console, I see it showing "U-boot 2021.01-dfsg-5" so that version must have gotten into the firmware somehow without telling Linux about it... <shrug?>
Other info that might be helpful that shows with the reboot is
CPU: Freescale i.MX6Q rev 1.3
Board: MX6 Cubox-i

Here's another Cubox-i. This one's running Bookworm.
<aptitude versions '?name(u-boot)'> shows a surprising number of u-boot-<arch> packages installed, (<arch> = exynos, imx, omap, sunxi) as well as plain "u-boot". All of them are version 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1.

Rebooting while watching the serial console output says "U-Boot SPL 2016.05-rc2+dfsg0~20160423~1-1 (Apr 24 2016 - 04:24:21)" So the firmware does not correspond to what aptitude says. <hmmm...>

Should I try installing the "22.04" version in the firmware? If so, are there directions for doing that available somewhere?

That Ordoid N2 board that I had was damaged about year ago.
I have not procured a replacement to it since then.

So I cannot test u-boot on Odroid N2 in the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately both my TERES I laptops are dead (voltage regulator
circuit let out their blue smoke), so I can no longer test U-boot for
that platform :-(

I have been testing that one, but thanks for the extra testing!

u-boot-rockchip also includes a u-boot-install-rockchip script which
might simplify the process for you. :)

booting u-boot and Debian both from external mmc

testing: 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1 "FDT and ATAGS support not compiled in" then resets and loops doing that
unstable: 2022.10+dfsg-2 ok
exp: 2023.01~rc4+dfsg-1 ok

comparing the config of 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1 vs 2022.10+dfsg-2 I see:

-# CONFIG_SUPPORT_PASSING_ATAGS is not set
+# CONFIG_ARCH_GXP is not set
+CONFIG_SUPPORT_PASSING_ATAGS=y
+CONFIG_SETUP_MEMORY_TAGS=y
+CONFIG_CMDLINE_TAG=y
+CONFIG_INITRD_TAG=y

which I suspect explains the failure in 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1.

I have these somewhere, I think in a box in the loft, I have to go up
there later anyway so will see if I can find any of them.

> Cubietruck

u-boot on mmc + Debian on sata:

testing: 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1 ok
unstable: 2022.10+dfsg-2 ok
exp: 2023.01~rc4+dfsg-1 ok

I've updated the wiki with the 5 successes, I didn't update the
dreamplug testing entry nor file a bug, I assume 2022.10+dfsg-2 will
eventually be allowed to migrate to fix that issue.

Hi Walter, Hi Vagrant,


I tested this board and updated the wiki. All looks fine to me.

- rock-pi-4-rk3399, on rock-pi-4b, 2023.01-rc4+dfsg-1 from experimental
- SD boot: works
- MAC address: correctly derived from serial number


- rock-pi-4-rk3399, on rock-pi-4b, 2022.10+dfsg-2 from unstable
- SD boot: works
- MAC address: correctly derived from serial number

Ah, good catch!

For compatiblity with mainline (debian) kernel, that line should
probably be updated to:

"Radxa ROCK Pi 4A"|"Radxa ROCK Pi 4A+"|"Radxa ROCK Pi
4B"|"Radxa ROCK Pi 4B+")


The Radxa kernel[1] 4.14 branches use "ROCK PI 4A" and "ROCK PI 4B", we
could add those in if we really wanted to. The 5.10 based kernels use
devicetrees based on mainline, so are unaffected.


Thanks!

Installing the packge does not install u-boot to the boot media, it is a
manual process, as it can be board-specific.

For Cubox-i install u-boot-imx and see
/usr/share/doc/u-boot-imx/README.Debian for instructions on how to
actually install the boot firmware onto microSD.

Hello Vagrant

I tested the following versions successfully at the BananaPi M3:
- bookworm/testing: 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1
- sid/unstable: 2022.10+dfsg-2
- experimental: 2023.01~rc4+dfsg-1
I also updated the Wiki page.

Best regards
Bernhard

2023.01~rc4+dfsg-2 from unstable also works fine (updated the wiki
page).

Excellent question!

(yeah, strictly speaking off-topic for the issue raised, but on-topic
for the relevancy of TERES-I as Debian laptop (not just OSHW-compliant
paperweight)

I have not yet contacted Olimex about my issue, but intended to do so.

My experience, for both laptops - using same power supply but happening
several months apart - was that the area around the power plug got so
hot that the surface plastic underneath melted, and then the system
turned off: There was a strong smell of melted plastic afterwards.

Did you experience the exact same, or something else that might have a
different cause?

I was successfully able to install the SD image for stable and unstable
(daily with u-boot from 2023-01-18.

Then I upgraded stable to testing und updated u-boot to 2023.01+dfsg1.

Any chance you could test 2023.01+dfsg-1 and/or 2023.01+dfsg-2 on the
dreamplug? Someone had problems with sheevaplug, which I think is a
fairly similar platform.

Done, both versions worked fine on dreamplug.

I also think dreamplug is a fairly similar platform to sheevaplug, but
I have no personal experience of the latter.
