Hello,

Ezequiel, you are the last person who updated the firefly defconfig, so I assume you have access to the board. Could you have a look at the bug report below?

Thanks!

Thomas,

Unfortunately, our customer asked the board back and we didn't have the chance to get ourselves a new one.

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> --- Unfortunately, the original submitter of the defconfig for this platform no longer have access to the hardware, so we are not able to investigate this issue. Your only chance is to investigate the problem yourself, and contribute a patch to Buildroot to fix it.

Hello,

OK, thanks for the feedback. I marked the bug as WONTFIX since nobody will be able to fix this without access to the HW.

Best regards,

Thomas

--- Comment #2 from Ciro Santilli <[email protected]> --- I have managed to boot from TTL as follows:

- enter recovery mode (hold recovery and restart board by resetting)
- download upgrade tool, and official Ubuntu image, and run:

sudo ./Linux_Upgrade_Tool_v1.2/upgrade_tool uf
Firefly-RK3288_Ubuntu14.04_201607222032.img

This burns the image to the eMMC.

- that image works. From inside of it, clear eMMC to ensure that it will not be used instead of the SD: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmblk0

- try again

However I can't get HDMI / VGA output to my screen, only TTL access.

I also tried to insert the cable after boot, but it did not help.
