Can't start LE11 on Orangepi one plus

[ComradeSerg]

I tried to replace LE10 to LE11 but after sd card creation with "LibreELEC USB-SD Creator" LE11 can't start because of error:

*** Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount UUID=1803-1707 ***

Starting debuggin shell for boot step: mount_flash... type exit to quit

but keyboard doesn't work.

I have OrangePi One Plus (allwinner H6), microSD ADATA 16GB UHS-I (class 10)

Can you try to use Balena Etcher instead of LibreELEC USB-CD Creator and see if that works?

[ComradeSerg]

Yes, before I tried Win32DiskImager with the same outcome, but now I installed Balena Etcher and nothing changed - Could not mount UUID=1803-1707 ***

[jernejsk]

Hm... I manually mount LibreELEC-H6.arm-11.0.1-orangepi-one-plus.img and checked all those UUIDs. They match, so I'm not sure what could be wrong. I don't have the board, so I can't test it directly.

However, you can try to fix them:

1. execute blkid in that debug shell
2. check and update, if necessary, UUID values in extlinux/extlinux.conf

I have the same issue on my orangepi-one-plus. LE10 boots normally. LE11 11.0.1 produces same error. Serial output differs from boot to boot.

@ComradeSerg / @maartenjd - is this still occurring on LE12 nightlies?

[maartenjd]

Hello heitbaum.

Erros(s) still occur. All with the same SD-card but previously the same error also with other SD-cards. See below. Is it U-boot related? Suggestions for any further troubleshooting?

Tested it with LibreELEC-H6.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20231214-8a29159-orangepi-one-plus and it seems to boot fine now (removed quiet from cmd line in extlinux.conf). See bootlog.

Also tested LibreELEC-H6.arm-11.0-nightly-20231214-ec82496-orangepi-one-plus. See bootlog.

Finally also booted LibreELEC-H6.arm-10.0.4-orangepi-one-plus (stable). See bootlog.

Unfortunately still the same "Error in mount_flash" with the 11 and 12 nightlies (see screenshot).

Note the particularities in the 11 en 12 bootlogs, that do not show in 10:

• U-Boot (2023.10 and 2022.10):

So it seems that the issue is in PMIC bus switch from I2C (LE10, Linux 5.10) to RSB (LE11, Linux 6.1). PMIC is responsible for power regulation to most subsystems, including SD card. That would explain issues you see in boot log.

Currently the only idea that I have is to lower RSB frequency, since it's much higher than I2C. However, that needs to be changed in U-Boot and Linux. I'll build test image when I'll have some time.

[maartenjd]

Issue continues to exist on Latest Beta Version 12.0 (2024.04). Did you already have a chance to look at the RSB-timings, jernejsk? I made some build with some uneducated guesses for timings, but to no avail.

[maartenjd]

Today I built LE12 with Orangepi One Plus Rollback to i2c patch.
Had a few successful boots. Will provide serial output later on.

ComradeSerge
Can you try this image, compiled with i2c rollback patch?
