Rock 3B U-Boot stuck

#1

Hi, I’m trying to compile a custom image for the Rock3B but I can’t get the u-boot working. I’ve tried compiling just the u-boot following this guide. It produces both the SPL and the u-boot, and I flash them to the sd card using the dd commands, but when the board boots it gets stuck in the u-boot sequence.

Here is the output form the console, it gets stuck in that last line for ever.

can you send me your u-boot deb package? I’ll try it and try to reproduce your issue.

I doesn’t allow me to upload the file directly because I’m a new member.

Recently I’ve been porting the new U-boot for ROCK 3B, you can try the new U-boot in a few days!

#7

Hi, has the new U-boot version been released?

#8

Are there any news?

#9

So sorry for that, because it took a long time to review pr and then this u-boot upgrade task got blocked by other things!

#10

I just booted 3B with recent u-Boot image, works perfectly.

#11

Did you follow the exact same guide I posted? I have done all the steps again but I can’t get it working. At the end I flash the idbloader.img and u-boot.itb files manually using the following commands (extracted form the setup.sh script)

sudo dd conv=notrunc,fsync if=/tmp/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=64
sudo dd conv=notrunc,fsync if=/tmp/u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=16384
#12

No, I compiled it myself with custom image and mainline kernel.

#13

And where did you download de u-boot from? I’m using the bsp tool from the radxa repo to compile it myself but that’s the one giving the error.

#14

I used this one: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/releases/tag/v2025.01
And here You can find bootable image with it.

#15

Where did you get the deconfig file from?

#16

rock 3b defconfig for u-boot?
as far as I remember rock 3b is supported since about november, so it’s already on u-boot repository:
