 novmar | yeah thats what i thing, that he is looking for u-boot on another place | 00:21:12 |
 samueldr | (I also can't say for sure what the support for U-Boot on h616 is) | 00:21:58 |
| samueldr | do you have serial, or rely entirely on HDMI? | 00:22:10 |
| novmar | i have both ... | 00:22:21 |
| samueldr | it could be that HDMI support doesn't work on U-Boot for H616 | 00:22:27 |
| novmar | but not a led starts to blinking ... | 00:22:27 |
| samueldr | good, having serial will help a lot | 00:22:40 |
| novmar | but that's enought for today ... | 00:22:59 |
| samueldr | about LEDs, sometimes it's software-controlled and it is possible that some boards will not have any LEDs turned on by mainline U-Boot | 00:23:02 |
| novmar | and does it really need u-boot ? | 00:23:36 |
| novmar | https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Zero2#U-Boot | 00:24:13 |
| novmar | some stuff | 00:24:17 |
| samueldr | 99% sure it will need U-Boot | 00:24:39 |
| novmar | As usual, the board is shipped with an empty SPI flash, so won't boot anything unless an SD card is installed. The power LED is software controlled, so also won't light up. | 00:24:59 |
| samueldr | yeah :) | 00:25:06 |
| samueldr | * yeah, SPI being empty is ba | 00:25:13 |
| samueldr | * yeah, SPI being empty is bad | 00:25:14 |
| novmar | so alst check - boot with serial | 00:25:19 |
| samueldr | no LED is a guess on my part | 00:25:20 |
| samueldr |
There are two unlabelled LEDs on the board, a red and a green one. According to the schematic they are Power (red) and Status (green), but both are connected to GPIOs (PC12 and PC13), so need active software toggling to light up.
| 00:25:39 |
| samueldr | confirmed from your link | 00:25:43 |
| novmar | yeah i jsut pasted it | 00:27:00 |
| samueldr | ah, I thought it was you saying that | 00:27:19 |
| novmar | 
Download image.png | 00:27:19 |
| samueldr | oh, that's a good sign | 00:27:34 |
| novmar | yeah | 00:27:50 |
| samueldr | though if it's stuck there I'm not sure off the top of my head what could be going on | 00:28:14 |
| novmar | nixos-sd-image-20.09.4192.b8f96258307-aarch64-linux.img.zst | 00:29:08 |
| novmar | that image i used ... | 00:29:12 |
| samueldr | yeah, if there's not more output from U-Boot it's not "finished" starting U-Boot | 00:30:22 |
