Hi Igor,

 

i installed the new linux-jessie-root-cubietruck_3.8_armhf.deb pkg on CT3.6 (jessie)

I shortly see the device is booting but blank screen comes afterwards.

network (wifi) does not work either.

 

any hint?

thanks so far

Jessie is problematic in general but if you don't get net ... there is/was lately some troubles with u-boot Ethernet controller initialization.

 

Until things are not fully fixed, power off/on helps.

 

If you made an upgrade from older image you need to check boot scripts if they are the same:

Hi Igor

 

based on your comment I made another test:

 

- the fix eth0 was still working, only the wifi gave up

- the HDMI output is not working, last msg is shown: "starting kernel" or similar

- I will check further on, what happened

 

tnx

 

 

- the HDMI output is not working, last msg is shown: "starting kernel" or similar

setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait consoleblank=0

This is probably due too kernel parameter "console". It should be set to tty1 to see the output while booting. This is valid for serial console too - on the new kernel.

 

You need to change u-boot too.

 

For wifi ... check if firmware is there. Is there anything in the log?

Hi Igor

 

it is strange a bit:

the current boot.cmd is:

 

setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait sunxi_ve_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_g2d_mem_reserve=0 sunxi_no_mali_mem_reserve sunxi_fb_mem_reserve=16 hdmi.audio=EDID:0 disp.screen0_output_mode=EDID:1280x720p60 panic=10 consoleblank=0
 

and:

if I set only wifi as client, I can not connect to the device

BUT:

if I enable eth0 AND wifi too, both can be used

 

this is weird
