Orange Pi PC Boot Problems

Elux · December 10, 2024 at 11:26 PM

Hi,

i downloaded stable/nightly images (for the Orange Pi PC), burned it to MMC, but none booted.
To rule out a hardware error, I copied an Armbian onto the MMC, which boots without any problems.

Has anyone noticed the same problems and possibly a solution to the problem?

Thanks,
Elux

There was a problem booting stable image but it was fixed and recent nightly builds should work fine. I've just tried LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0-nightly-20241204-f894320-orangepi-pc.img.gz image and it boots. The serial port output is the same as yours.

Try changing quiet console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 to debugging systemd.debug_shell earlyprintk console=ttyS0,115200 in /extlinux/extlinux.conf to get more output on serial port.

Do you mean microSD card when you say MMC? To be sure you do not use Orange Pi PC image on Orange Pi PC Plus, which has eMMC, for example

Hi myokaski,

thanks for your answer.

First: you are right: i mean microSD...
I copied the image again and entered the changes into the extlinux.conf file.
Yes, the Pi boots, but it hangs in a boot loop.

These are the last few lines before he breaks off:

[ 3.172944] usb usb8: Manufacturer: Linux 6.6.63 ohci_hcd
[ 3.178366] usb usb8: SerialNumber: 1c1a400.usb
[ 3.183577] hub 8-0:1.0: USB hub found
[ 3.187409] hub 8-0:1.0: 1 port detected
[ 3.198626] Freeing unused kernel image (initmem) memory: 5120K
[ 3.204815] Run /init as init process

I will still test the /stable later...

Are you sure that you not only changed quiet to debugging systemd.debug_shell earlyprintk but also removed console=tty1 at the end of line?

If I do not remove it, I have the same output on the serial port.

Are you sure it is a boot loop, not a single reboot after resizing of partition?

Just a guess but I think it is booting normally, only there is nothing on your display for some reason. And if you remove console=tty1, you will get more info on serial console. Sorry if I am wrong.

Stable LE12 images (12.0.0 and 12.0.1 for sure) will not boot because there was a bug in u-boot configuration for Orange PI PC at the moment they were released

Hi myokaski,

Thank for your helpfull hints.

>>Are you sure it is a boot loop, not a single reboot after resizing of partition?<<

Last night I forgot to turn off the Pi and he still loops.

It seems the Problem is inside Kodi :

Hi, Elux

No idea what is wrong. Have same output when HDMI is not conntected. But no rebooting.

Is anything connected into HDMI port? Does it continue rebooting if you connect/disconnect HDMI?

Maybe try another power supply or something...

Which hardware version of Orange PI PC do you have? Mine is v1.3
