----------------

And the only solution i can use is to disconnect PSU

 

Thank in advance for your help

Regards

 

 

 

 

It's u-boot related problem and most likely the problem was not caused by us. I have to check why it stops ... Workaround is to use this u-boot:

 

http://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-cubieboard-next/linux-u-boot-next-cubieboard_5.23_armhf.deb 

 

Works fine for me.

Igor,

Many thanks for your patch. I confirm that this new u-boot (but more older that previous) is ok also for me.

Please note that this new u-boot is :.....

Do you plan to integrate this old release in future cubieboard 1 ?

We tend to find a problem and move on with upstream version, perhaps this is already solved within dev version. Would need to check ...

This is just a workaround.

Hi Igor,

 

one question about linux-u-boot-next-cubieboard for v5.31:

I have to revert to http://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-cubieboard-next/linux-u-boot-next-cubieboard_5.23_armhf.deb even after installing the latest armbian v5.31 version.

Do you think there could be a solution in the future for this issue?

 

Best regards, Otario (using Cubieboard 1, A10)
