Bug#783042: marked as done (Package: installation-reports)

Package: installation-reports

Boot method: sdcard (microSDHC)

Image version: Jessie RC 3 from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/

Date: Tue Apr 21 01:27:41 UTC 2015

Machine: cubieboard a10 (revision 2)

Processor: armhf

Memory: 1GB

Partitions: sdcard image standard

Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): N/A

Base System Installation Checklist:

[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

The above O items I completed using the 2015-04-18 images a few days ago; they are likely still working, HOWEVER I had to deviate from the installation instructions slightly to obtain a usable system (the E components that I re-tested with the RC 3 image to see if they had been resolved).

Attempt 1:

zcat firmware.Cubieboard.img.gz partition.img.gz > /dev/sdd ; sync

Attempt 1+mod:

dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl-v2015.04.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=1k seek=8

Attempt 1:

* Serial console works

* HDMI display does not work

Attempt 1+mod (updated Mainline U-Boot: git tag v2015.04):

* Serial console works

* HDMI display DOES WORK

* As noted in community, a USB 2.0 hub may be necessary for USB 1.0 / 1.1 devices to work.

Retrying with a different SD card, my main remaining complaint is lack of HDMI support, both initially, and after the kernel boots.

I understand a more recent kernel (4.1?) has updated framebuffer support for these devices; however the existing debian kernel + an updated U-Boot is sufficient to get basic Xorg support working (if you finish installing via the serial console).

Starting system log daemon: syslogd, klogd.

Installer is live on the serial console, but NOT the HDMI console.

Installation cannot be completed without serial console unless modifying U-Boot (it is possible that modifying the U-Boot and bootargs configuration MAY allow this to work, I did not test this).

Refrerencing: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/configure-kernel.html

It may be possible to set bootargs console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 earlyprintk

This way at least HDMI users would know they haven't bricked their device.

An HDMI bootargs build (with flipped console= arguments) of the boards may be desirable if multiple inputs don't work. Without updating to a more recent U-boot this is a moot point.
