  • odroid-c2 frozen on splash screen v8.2.2

    So... got it working ... <sigh>

    I simply had to plug the sd card directly into my desktop instead of my Das Keyboard USB which is what I was using earlier.. now it just works fine, no problems..

    how can I get my 6 hours of life back :D

    first time I've been hit by anything like this before..

    on the plus side, Kodi is great!

    Do you have a serial console cable to look at u-boot log?

    Perhaps you can try using a different SD card?

    Thanks for responding. I don't have a cable I'm pretty sure (anything serial I had was thrown out as soon as parallel became a thing ;) )

    Is there a way I can turn logging up in the boot.ini or something. I can always plug the card back into my desktop after and read anything written to it.

    I've had the sd card and odroid for over a year running ubuntu mate quite happily on it. It 'should' be ok. Guess I can hunt around for a spare micro-sd. Is there anyway to confirm that when I am burning the card everything was correctly written.

    Also I did previously have the odroid plugged into a mac monitor with a strange resolution 1650x1050 or something similar. I had to edit the boot.ini to get ubuntu working properly but once done it was all good. Can I do the same with libreelec (guessing I can but I wanted to confirm).

    Thanks again!

    Hi

    Noob here tried to install latest on my odroid-c2. Installation went fine, used the usb creator tool on ubuntu. The sd card is a 16gb (not sure if that would matter). I can see the installation created 2 disks:

    Code
    Disk /dev/sdc: 14.9 GiB, 15931539456 bytes, 31116288 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x137da522

Device     Boot   Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1  *       8192 1056767 1048576  512M  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdc2       1056768 1122303   65536   32M 83 Linux

    One is empty the second has this in it:

    Code
    -rw-r--r-- 1 jinder jinder      7232 Dec 22 07:15 boot.ini
-rw-r--r-- 1 jinder jinder        48 Dec 22 07:15 SYSTEM.md5

-rw-r--r-- 1 jinder jinder     10303 Dec 22 07:15 boot-logo.bmp.gz

    When the odroid boots, I see the splash screen but that's it. Nothing happens. The lights on the odroid are solid red and blue, no flashing. Not sure what else I can do. I've formatted and re-written a few times. Is the any debugging I can turn on? nothing appears to be written to the disk after I reinserted into my PC I can't see anything changed. I don't even think the OS is booting. All help greatly appreciated!

    Cheers
