Howdy,

Trying to disable NCQ via kernel option, i have set the following extraarg=libata.force=5:noncq and extraarg=pcie_aspm=off in /boot/armbianEnv.txt.  Rebooted and I do not see the change applied via: 

 

root@espressobin:~# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyMV0,115200 earlycon=ar3700_uart,0xd0012000 root=UUID=e5344a53-4325-4b08-b6f3-1bfe432789d1 rw rootwait

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

This is not "printenv" from u-boot, but from linux bash shell ...

Quote

extraarg=libata.force=5:noncq and extraarg=pcie_aspm=off

it should be extraargs not extraarg, and all args should be together ...

Good eye, made the modification and still no dice:

 

root@espressobin:~# grep extra /boot/armbianEnv.txt
extraargs=pcie_aspm=off,libata.force=noncq
root@espressobin:~# cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyMV0,115200 earlycon=ar3700_uart,0xd0012000 root=UUID=e5344a53-4325-4b08-b6f3-1bfe432789d1 rw rootwait

 

 

How can i go about getting the correct uboot printenv without having to console to system during boot?

With a space instead of comma !

That is a bit strange that it is not appearing in /proc/cmdline ... Did you have rebooted ?

You need a USB-Serial-TTL plugged on the Serial Debug header, it is a useful tool that everyone should have in their toolbox, it is only costing US$1 on eBay...
