    looks like the same issue I had some time ago, see:

    Wetek Hub LE11 AMLGX, uboot stops half way...

    Dear LE team,

    So happy to get LE11 support for our good/old Wetek Hub, I installed AMLGX wetek Hub box image to flash.

    Following the wiki page, I booted the 'box' image from SD card, then used emmctool to write the 'wetek-hub board' image to eMMC.
    (I had to first 'zero' the eMMC because emmctool did not like the labels on it).

    But now on boot, I can see from the serial port that the boot process stops halfway (console log below).

    if I type 'boot' on the uboot prompt, it will continue and complete…

    There seem to be some noise/random characters on the Hub serial input line that stops the initial booting process.

    You should be able to boot from nand too, just remove the sdcard. Once you reach the uboot prompt you can manually complete booting (type 'boot' on prompt).

    After that initial boot completes ok, you should be able to use the remote to 'sleep' and 'wakeup' normally, and all should work fine.

    The only way I managed to prevent the blocking of the initial booting process was to disable the RX serial line, by forcing it 'high' to 3.3V with a soldered wire.

    Hi chewitt,

    I wrote that image to flash... but still the same, gets stuck on uboot.

    see UART output below.

    Thanks,

    sadly, even with the UART cable removed it will not complete the boot.

    I noticed that this only happens on first booting after connecting the unit to power. Once manually 'boot'ing the first time, one can use the remote or 'shutdown now' to 'sleep' the device. Turning on the device with the remote after sleeping results in a complete boot.

    is there any way to configure uboot to use a specific character to stop booting? like 'press space to stop booting process'...

    Thanks,

    if I type 'boot' on the uboot prompt, it will continue and complete booting, and I get LE running just fine...

    Any idea how to make boot complete at once?

    Thanks!
