Hello.
With U-Boot 2024.10 my Orange Pi simply freezes after some time. Once that was around 30 minutes, but most times the boot process does not finish, it freezes after anything between 5 and 60 seconds. That means it does not always stop at a particular step of the boot process.
I reverted back to the 2023.10 version, and it booted first try. Quite likely there are several differences between 2023.10 and 2024.10 and at least one of those changes is causing those freezes. If it is worth still supporting the Orange Pi Zero Plus I'd suggest producing intermediate versions with less changes, so that we can determine which change causes the freeze.

Hey,
Yes, the boot completed on the Banana Pi M64.This morning I tried upgrading my Orange Pi Zero Plus to the rc3 U-Boot, and before rebooting I added those options below. It booted successfully:
When you say "added the options below" you mean the debug ones I
provided? To clarify it boots fine with the debug options and doesn't
boot without them?
If that is the case can you try adding these 3 kernel command line
options "clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused reg_ignore_unused"
Probably add all 3 to begin with and see if it boots, then if you have
time try combinations of the 3 to see if any particular one causes it
to stop booting.
Then I reverted the kernel options back to their previous valuse and I haven't been able to get it to boot again.I think I have to simply consider this device as unreliable.
So depending on the above I suspect what is happening is that in older
versions of firmware (U-Boot and friends) there was something that was
turned on, likely by accident, that the kernel needs to boot but
U-Boot doesn't and when the kernel starts to boot what is expected to
be there isn't and hence the lack of boot.
My Raspberry Pi and my Rock Pi E have always upgraded fine at the first attempt. No more Allwinner devices for me.
I suspect we're just a little unlucky here, overall I have found all
to have their pluses and their minuses, it all depends on uses cases.
Let me know how you get on with the above. I don't think the issue is
related to U-Boot, and the M64 is fine, so this update certainly makes
the overall Allwinner support in Fedora better so it would be great if
you can update the karma so we can get this into stable while we work
out where the problem lies with the Orange Pi Zero Plus.

Before rebooting I took the time to read back from the MMC and compare its SHA256 checksum with that of the file /usr/share/uboot/bananapi_m64/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin and that that appears in https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/fileinfo?rpmID=39921997&filename=/usr/share/uboot/bananapi_m64/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin, and the three matched.Then I rebooted and the boot process completed successfully.So it completed successfully on the Banana Pi M64?One difference I observed was that when it failed it showed:So on a clean system that hasn't booted previously (with the feature)the OS hasn't updated the EFI entry.*** U-Boot Boot Menu ***mmc 0whereas when it succeeded it showed*** U-Boot Boot Menu ***Fedorammc 0That's post boot where the UEFI entry was updated for the OS.Besides, this error that appears when it failed:error: ../../grub-core/disk/efi/efidisk.c:615:failure reading sector 0x1e6f80 from `hd0'.might be a transient one, I'm not sure about that.That looks like a problem with an SD card, I wonder if there's afailed sector or something.I can't say much more about why the upgrade failed on the Banana Pi the first time while it succeeded the second time. I'll see what I can find with the Orange Pi.Sometimes adding the following to the kernel command line can give youa bunch of very early boot debug output which may shed more of a lightas to where the failure is "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 earlyconuefi_debug earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 debug"PeterBR-----Original Message-----From: Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@gmail.com>To: Adrian Torregrosa <adrian.torregrosa@gmail.com>Subject: Re: [fedora-arm] U-Boot 2024.10 testingDate: 2024.09.03 17:08:18On Tue, 3 Sept 2024 at 16:03, Adrian Torregrosa<adrian.torregrosa@gmail.com> wrote:The grub menu is reached in both cases.

That went fine so after that I attempted upgrading their UBoots and that did not work:I think I've got to the bottom of the issue, any chance you can do aF-41 bug report for me? Link below should go straight there for you.So I reverted back to U-Boot SPL 2023.07.This afternoon I tried upgrading the Banana Pi to this rc2 version and the result was quite similar:Yup, it's the same.For the record, I was able to upgrade my Raspberry Pi 3B's and my Radxa Rock Pi E's UBoots to 2024.04.What about to the 2024.10 RC builds in F-41? You can use the F-41U-Boot without having to upgrade the OS. Mostly interested in theRockPi as I can test the RPi3.Thanks,PeterBest regards.-----Original Message-----From: Peter Robinson <pbrobinson@gmail.com>Subject: [fedora-arm] U-Boot 2024.10 testingDate: 2024.08.16 12:45:29Hi Folks,I've started building the 2024.10 RCs in F-41+ so it would be great toget some testing.I found that at least the Allwinner a64 devices looked like theyregressed in F-40 and I've tested the Pine64+ with the rc2 build and Ithink they should be OK now.It would be great if people could test and provide some feedback onthese builds as we go towards F-41 beta freeze.Peter
