#1 Re: ARM Builds » Beowulf 3.1.0 arm64 rpi4 image fails to boot on recent RPI4 » 2021-10-09 15:12:23
The image you are using was made with the following builder: https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder
I've made lots of changes to the builder since that img was created, one of those changes is in relation to firmware, how its installed and where its located. I don't use the firmware provided by Debian, Devuan or Ubuntu as its usually outdated and incomplete.
The firmware used --> https://github.com/pyavitz/firmware
The firmware function --> https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-buil … ersal#L291
The line now added to the /boot/cmdline.txt --> firmware_class.path=/lib/firmware/updates/brcmThe script used to update kernels, firmware and userland: fetch -h
The gist of it in my opinion is that the imgs on the site need to be updated. I have no access and did not make those imgs myself, so there isn't anything I can do except point out the problem.
The reason the deb install is failing is because the firmware wasn't installed using apt, so you would need to remove the firmware by hand and then run the apt install.
Thanks for the explanation, and the pointers.
cheers

#2 Re: ARM Builds » Beowulf 3.1.0 arm64 rpi4 image fails to boot on recent RPI4 » 2021-10-05 13:00:07
It appears the Pi4 is faulty. It fails to boot a pretty pristine Buster PiOS Lite, even after upgrading the OS. It has been returned to supplier.
Hi,
I reckoned that maybe it need newer firmware, so back on the RPI4 8GB I attempted to upgrade the firmware which failed ...

Still leaves this problem. I suspect a packaging problem. One should be able to upgrade the firmware successfully.

at https://arm-files.devuan.org/
that works on an RPI4 8GB board, bought in May 2020. But when used to boot a recently
purchased RPI4 2GB board the kernel crashes. Booting succeeds right upto ...
