Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2023 9:33 pm Post subject: Orange Pi 5 - bootloader / kernel update |
|
|
I am sorry to ask stupid questions again, but i didn't understand the boot sequence for the Orange pi 5, also there are different bootloader.
I have watched a few youtube chanels, some tutorials. So what i know is that the Orange Pi 5 uses a Rockchip 3588. The developer got some "special" kernel builds, in my case it's a "5.10.110-3+" kernel - even there, not all the funtions (like USB or the NVMe) work propper. Thanks to Collabora there are drivers for the "Rockchip 3588" since the Version 6.3 in the official linux tree. So i try to update, install the gentoo-sources and genkernel. I got a new kernel (v6.6.7). The directory /boot/ contains this files: Code: | drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Apr 21 2023 dtbs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Apr 11 2023 extlinux
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 34M Apr 20 2023 Image
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 286K Apr 19 2023 idbloader.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 279 Nov 30 19:01 info.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7.3M Apr 21 2023 initramfs-linux.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.1M Apr 19 2023 logo.bmp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16M Apr 19 2023 rkspi_loader.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16M Apr 19 2023 rkspi_loader_sata.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.6M Apr 19 2023 u-boot.itb |
And after the update (i mean the self made kernel) there are 3 more files: Code: | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.3M Dec 19 12:59 System.map-6.6.7-gentoo-arm64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9.4M Dec 19 13:56 initramfs-6.6.7-gentoo-arm64.img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28M Dec 19 12:59 vmlinuz-6.6.7-gentoo-arm64 |
But i don't know how to update the bootloader, can't find anything bout this topic. Is there a software from the Orange Pi manufacturer (official Google Drive from the manufacturer for the OPi5)? it seems like some "u-boot" stuff, but i don't know how to update that bootloader, it's still booting the old kernel. I found something on reddit: "Upstream U-Boot support for OrangePi 5/5B/5+", but i can't understand all of that (english is not my native language, specially not the technical one), have i to install that u-boot version from github? I'm very happy if someone can help me, maybe with some useful links or a small tutorial. If i get some good hints i'm pretty sure i can solve that and post the solution here. |

Gladdle,
Do you have serial console setup for OPI5? I mean a usb to ttl serial cable from you other PC to OPI5?
Without it could be difficult to make change in u-boot.
I would not recommend you change u-boot or kernel if you are not familiar with embedded device would because there is quick a bit of stuff you need to know before you can run mainstream linux/u-boot.
See rockchip wiki about [url=]rockchip boot sequence[/url].
You may be able to make change in extlinux/extlinux.conf to switch kernel, however I doubt the new kernel you build will boot, It is possible that u-boot is currently programmed to expecting a u-boot specific format kernel image file in order for it to load.
BTW, in your previous post about USB not working, I have point out the button USB port of OPI5 is usb 2. so it is possible you used a incomparable cable therefor it is not working. |

I only want to install a new kernel, nothing else. And therefore i have access via keyboard and a monitor and also via ssh.

I need a new kernel because some parts wont working. Nice link btw

I've updated my post, seems like i have to make some kernel updates to solve the problem, that's why this topic is created.

THAT'S very useful, thanks a lot for this! My new kernel doesn't boot, the "orginal" one does, so i have to find a solution. Give me some time, i will test that in the next days! |

Hi. Don't want to create another thread, hope it's ok to continue this one as I've tried to do just that, boot mainline kernel on Orange Pi 5.
I started with a bootloader. From what NeddySeagoon said, there's more choice than just u-boot - but I chose u-boot. Do tell if it's easier with UEFI - or something else.
I wrote down what I did and how I failed hoping it'll help me understand what I did wrong.
It didn't. Hope youse can give a helping hand.
Preconditions:
- aarch64 crosscompiler set up
Hardware:
- Laptop x86_64, AMD
- SD card - I use 32GB class 10 SanDisk card
- USB-to-serial CH340
- Orange Pi 5
Procedure for creating Rockchip rk3588 u-boot image:
Create a directory for stuff:
Code: | mkdir rockchip && cd rockchip |
Get u-boot and Rockchip binary blob from (git clone <repo>):
Code: | git clone https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/u-boot
git clone https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/rkbin.git
git clone https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/trusted-firmware-a
|
Now we have three subdirectories:
Code: |
ls -1
rkbin
trusted-firmware-a
u-boot
|
Below step fails for me so I use provided rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3588_bl31_v1.27.elf:
Code: | cd trusted-firmware-a
make PLAT=rk3588 bl31
cd -
|
Build u-boot:
Code: | cd u-boot
export ROCKCHIP_TPL=../rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3588_ddr_lp4_2112MHz_lp5_2736MHz_v1.08.bin
export BL31=../rkbin/bin/rk35/rk3588_bl31_v1.27.elf
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-" distclean
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-" orangepi-5-rk3588s_defconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu-"
|
Create image:
insert SD card, as root do:
Code: | dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=64
dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=16384
|
Connect HDMI screen, connect USB-to-serial, start minicom:
Code: | minicom -b 1500000 -D /dev/ttyS0 |
(I start it on ttyS{0-4} as I'm not sure which one it is
Insert SD card to Pi, boot, see nothing.
What now? |

Turns out I was missing kernel module for that adapter
I have progress!
I just put the kernel I built on the boot partition, will need to massage that orange a bit.
I get that now from the serial (that's a tail):

I have now flashed u-boot to SPI and it works.
Only my kernel still won't load:
Code: | Importing into environment ...
armbianEnv.txt imported into environment
14786786 bytes read in 1239 ms (11.4 MiB/s)
34134592 bytes read in 2855 ms (11.4 MiB/s)

Working FDT set to 12000000
Failed to load '/dtb/rockchip/overlay/rockchip-rk3588-fixup.scr'
Unknown command 'kaslrseed' - try 'help'
Bad Linux ARM64 Image magic!
Boot failed (err=-14) |
To generate my kernel I have used the orange pi 5 defconfig from Armbian.
Then I took this file:
Code: | file /usr/src/linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image
/usr/src/linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image: Linux kernel ARM64 boot executable Image, little-endian, 4K pages |
Tried to boot it, fail.
Then I tried and run:
Code: | mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -a 0x00080000 -e 0x00080000 -d Image uImage |
The magic address in the above I am not sure about as I don't understand where it comes from. I have also tried without it, result is the same.
armbianEnv.txt content:
Code: | verbosity=1
bootlogo=false
overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588
fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-orangepi-5.dtb
rootdev=UUID=aa648621-8496-41a9-86a4-209afe528cfa
rootfstype=ext4
kernel=uImage |
There is something not quite right with the kernel image format I suppose?
Or do I need rockchip-rk3588-fixup.scr ? I could not locate this file amongst u-boot provided files.
I also generated initrd but noticed u-boot doesn't try to use it. Armbian provided kernel boots without it as well. |

It would seem I'm missing a clock driver.
Yet:
CONFIG_CLK_RK3588=y
Hmmm. |
