Hello everyone!

I have an issue with rebooting my orangepi 4 (version without eMMC, booted from SD card). May be you can help with some kind of patch or workaround, or may it be a note for armbian devs.

 

System:  Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

Image: Armbian_20.05.0-trunk_Orangepi4_buster

Affected kernel versions: dev-5.5.2; dev-5.5.5, current-5.4.21, legacy-4.4.213

 

I have built different armbian images from trunk (legacy,current,dev), and it looks like everything works absolutely fine, except the reboot.

When I type 'reboot' the last thing I see in the serial log is something like this:

[  OK  ] Stopped target Local File Systems (Pre).
[  OK  ] Stopped Create Static Device Nodes in /dev.
[  OK  ] Stopped Create System Users.
[  OK  ] Stopped Remount Root and Kernel File Systems.
[  OK  ] Reached target Shutdown.
[  OK  ] Deactivated swap /dev/zram1.
[  OK  ] Reached target Unmount All Filesystems.
[  OK  ] Reached target Final Step.
[  OK  ] Started Reboot.
[  OK  ] Reached target Reboot.
[  116.180289] reboot: Restarting system

And after that - nothing happens. Board continues to be powered up, with red diode constantly glowing, but doesn't try to boot up (the exact behavior happens when you power up the board without sd card installed). The way to boot it up again is to disconnect power plug and connect it again or to press the reset button.

BTW the debian 10 image provided by orange pi manufacturer doesn't have this issue.

 

May be important somehow: if I send 'poweroff' command the last thing I see in log is this, like board is powering down before it have sent last output to serial console.

[  OK  ] Started Power-Off.
[  OK  ] Reached target Power-Off.
[  215

 

Thank you for reading this!

You can try building images from this branch: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/orangepi-4-dts-cleanup-part1 or wait for it to be merged into master.

Reboot issue is fixed - verified with current and legacy.

Thank you very much!

Also verified with dev 5.5.6-rockchip64 - issue is fixed.
