Stuck in Maskrom

chouimat

My firefly rk3399 is now stuck in maskrom
the linux upgrade tool fail either at reset device or at prepare idb

I even tried rkdeveloptool and it seems to work
when it wrote idbloader, uboot and trust.bin
but when I restarted the board it was back in maskrom

also some times I can't the emmc info even after erasing it

is there a way that I can boot from sd card all the time?

phkr

If you shorten emmc (be careful, i've occasionally killed my one) you can boot from sdcard and erase all data from emmc. In fact, you only have to erase u-boot area, then board will always boot from sdcard

chouimat

thanks I will try but I think I might have killed the emmc

chouimat

not working

phkr

Which image and how do you flash on sdcard? It must contain working u-boot. Btw, do you use UART for debugging?

chouimat

I tried with an Armbian image and the UART and nothing happens
I have nothing on the uart.  the only thing I see is the network light blinking

chouimat

ok rechecked the wiring and now the uart works
here what I get:

ok no matter which kernel I try it won't start and currently I don't know what to do

phkr

I remember that after applying two patches i could boot ARMtix. Writing this from it right now
