in the documentation is written :

How to toogle verbose boot?

touch /boot/.force-verbose # enable

You need to reboot to conduct changes.

rm /boot/.force-verbose # disable

but I am returned :

rm: cannot remove ‘/boot/.force-verbose’: No such file or directory

 

I tried to change verbosity in boot.cmd but with no success

Can you help please ?

Thanks

In the file /boot/boot,cmd change string setenv console "ttyS0,115200" to setenv console "serial" . After changes it is necessary to execute the command mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr

I have no file /boot/.force-verbose, there is a /boot/.verbose file (OS Armbian5.25)

following string does not exist in /boot/boot.cmd

setenv console "ttyS0,115200"

 

I'm using armbian 5.14

5.14 is old build and those boot scripts are different, upgrade is also not recommended. Perhaps better to start with fresh image ...

I cannot use 5.25 on OPI pc plus. First boot is ok but second one i am stucked on "Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0"

I succeded to boot on 5.25 with another OPI pc plus

 

But I still have verbose boot after following tests:

 

>change string setenv console "ttyS0,115200" to setenv console "serial"

default value is "both". I tried to change to "serial" and recompile

 

I get "rm: cannot remove ‘/boot/.force-verbose’: No such file or directory" when I send "rm /boot/.force-verbose"

 

I tried to change setenv verbosity to 7,1 and 0 in boot.cmd and recompile

 

>Regarding u-boot. You will need to recompile it with disabled VIDEO flag

I understand u-boot is /boot/boot.cmd. but there is no video flag in it
 

I tried to change setenv verbosity to 7,1 and 0 in boot.cmd and recompile

 

If you have recent build, you have to change verbosity=x in /boot/armbianEnv.txt since this overrides settings in boot.cmd ... if you want to get rid of early boot messages with armbian logo, you need to start here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation
