| 15:49 | heap_ | holy fuck |
| 15:50 | heap_ | what does it mean if there is no ligh on my cubox? |
| 15:50 | heap_ | it suddenly stopped to work |
| 15:50 | heap_ | there is only light on spdif port |
| 15:51 | heap_ | any idea? |
| 15:51 | heap_ | why there is no main light on IR port? |
| 15:51 | heap_ | red one |
| 15:52 | wbx | may be sd card is not correctly inserted. try to poweroff, remove sd card, add sd card , poweron |
| 15:52 | heap_ | let me try |
| 15:52 | heap_ | but why there is SPIDF light on? |
| 15:54 | heap_ | no because there is no light on ETH port |
| 15:54 | heap_ | fucking crap device |
| 15:54 | heap_ | any idea? |
| 15:55 | wbx | at least it gets still power. |
| 15:56 | wbx | i have no issues with my cubox-i ultra |
| 15:57 | heap_ | then? |
| 15:57 | wbx | fresh device? another sd card? |
| 15:57 | wbx | correct power supply? |
| 15:58 | heap_ | man |
| 15:58 | heap_ | main power light doesnt work |
| 15:58 | heap_ | there is no connection with sd card |
| 16:03 | heap_ | what are these fucking devices |
| 16:03 | heap_ | after 8months of run it died? |
| 16:12 | heap_ | http://forum.solid-run.com/your-first-steps-beginners-corner-f17/cubox-i4pro-dead-on-arrival--t1230.html |
| 16:12 | heap_ | exactly same issue |
| 16:35 | heap_ | any idea? |
| 17:38 | flips | Lack of red diode light could just mean missing bootloader, IIRC |
| 18:11 | heap_ | flips: ah ok, but the box was running i just disconnected power |
| 18:11 | heap_ | then sd card got corrupted? |
| 18:11 | heap_ | or? |
| 18:12 | heap_ | can i debugg using serial port? |
| 18:13 | vpeter | heap_: If you connect serial port you can see bootloader messages. |
| 18:13 | vpeter | If sd card is ok. |
| 18:19 | heap_ | ok i can check it |
| 18:19 | heap_ | gimme few mintues |
| 18:40 | heap_ | nothing on serial port |
| 18:41 | heap_ | port is active but i cant see anything |
| 18:43 | vpeter | And I'm sure you did sd card corectly because this is not your first time? |
| 18:47 | heap_ | nothing on serial console only 0001 in some square character |
| 18:47 | heap_ | vpeter: not first time sure... i was using it for 1 year |
| 18:48 | heap_ | so w/out sd card now ... nothing on serial port |
| 18:48 | heap_ | with sd card nothing on serial port also |
| 18:51 | heap_ | https://goo.gl/photos/JGLY7uV4nps46j2k7 |
| 18:51 | heap_ | i think its over... dead device |
| 18:53 | vpeter | without card there will be nothing. |
| 18:53 | heap_ | with any random sd card? |
| 18:53 | vpeter | Did you set speed correctly? |
| 18:53 | heap_ | yes |
| 18:53 | vpeter | Yesm sd card must have corect bootloader on it. |
| 18:53 | heap_ | its 115200 |
| 18:54 | vpeter | yes |
| 18:54 | heap_ | then im desperate |
| 18:54 | heap_ | what to do |
| 18:54 | heap_ | spdif light is on |
| 18:54 | heap_ | nothing more |
| 18:55 | vpeter | my spdif is on also without card |
| 18:55 | heap_ | if i insert random empty sd card |
| 18:55 | heap_ | should it do something? |
| 18:55 | vpeter | no |
| 18:58 | heap_ | so i need proper sd card |
| 18:59 | vpeter | Yes, something on it fot cubox. |
| 18:59 | heap_ | ok give me second |
| 19:01 | vpeter | Naybe you should try http://solid-run.com/downloads/ignition |
| 19:08 | heap_ | downloading directly arch arm linux latest image |
| 19:19 | heap_ | anyway just wondering is there any howto how to install only boot on sd card and rest on usb external disk? |
| 19:22 | heap_ | ah it works! |
| 19:22 | heap_ | thank you! |
| 19:22 | heap_ | holy crap with those sd cards |
| 19:32 | wbx | heap_: you remember what I said in the morning about sd card? ;) |
| 19:38 | vpeter | heap_: You need at least u-boot and uEnv.txt or boot.scr on sd card and rest on usb. |
| 19:40 | heap_ | but how its possible to sudenly sd card was completely wiped off? |
| 19:40 | heap_ | when i inster sd card into reader there isnt even any fs |
| 19:41 | heap_ | is it normal behaviour? |
| 19:43 | vpeter | It is not normal. |
| 19:43 | vpeter | Maybe running system from it wipe it out. |
| 19:43 | heap_ | what do you mean running system from it wipe it out? |
| 19:44 | vpeter | If you run arch from sd card you can wipe the card |
| 19:44 | heap_ | how? |
| 19:44 | heap_ | or why |
| 19:44 | vpeter | But sometimes this things just happen :) |
| 19:44 | vpeter | ^^^^ why |
| 19:45 | heap_ | wel l |
| 19:45 | heap_ | u said if u ran arch u can wipe |
| 19:45 | vpeter | Now you know for next time. If system doesn't boot then make new sd card. |
| 19:45 | heap_ | whats connection between that arch and sd wipe? |
| 19:45 | vpeter | wipe: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=10M |
| 19:45 | heap_ | but i didnt type it :) |
| 19:45 | heap_ | anythhing with dd |
| 19:45 | vpeter | there is no direct connection. I'm jsut saying it can be done. |
| 19:46 | heap_ | do you typped manually or? |
| 19:46 | vpeter | Yes. |
| 19:46 | heap_ | 100% i didnt |
| 19:46 | heap_ | system was runing |
| 19:46 | vpeter | In your case it just happens. Not dd. Maybe power loss. |
| 19:46 | heap_ | i powered it off |
| 19:46 | heap_ | connected power on ...and nothing happen |
| 19:46 | vpeter | Or card made some crazy thing :-) |
| 19:47 | heap_ | so power loss can do it |
| 19:47 | vpeter | Not usually. |
| 19:47 | vpeter | But lot of things can happen. |
| 19:48 | heap_ | yeah |
| 19:48 | heap_ | but its weird |
| 19:48 | heap_ | isnt it? |
| 19:48 | heap_ | its 01 not humman body |
| 19:51 | vpeter | Even in 01 nothing is 100% |
| 19:52 | heap_ | ;> |
| 19:52 | heap_ | crazy crap ;/ |
| 19:52 | heap_ | now how to restore sd card :> |
| 19:54 | vpeter | restore what? |
| 19:54 | heap_ | dat a |
| 19:54 | heap_ | data |
| 19:55 | heap_ | well i did fdisk /dev/sdcard |
| 19:55 | heap_ | it says ... invalid flag of partion table 4 be corrected by w |
| 19:55 | vpeter | anything important there? |
| 19:55 | heap_ | well all the .confs :) |
| 19:55 | vpeter | I would use some data rescue program. |
| 20:03 | heap_ | testdisk found all the data on the sd card |
| 20:03 | heap_ | thats crazy |
| 20:08 | heap_ | ok some block on sd card must have been corupted and it destroyed FS |
| 20:08 | heap_ | restoring data.. using testdisk ... almost 85% restored |
| 20:09 | vpeter | Maybe only bootloader was corrupted. |
| 20:10 | heap_ | question is ...can i just copy all the files on new installed sd card... and use the new installed uboot with old (copied) data? |
| 20:11 | heap_ | vpeter: not only bootloader.. wholes FS... linux identified card as empty card |
| 20:11 | heap_ | testdisk found correct FS + data |
| 20:11 | vpeter | ok, then bootloader + mbr :) |
| 20:12 | heap_ | yeah |
| 20:12 | heap_ | so question is ... can i copy all the data to new working sd card |
| 20:12 | heap_ | cp -avz / to new sd card |
| 20:13 | vpeter | Just try and see. |
| 20:13 | vpeter | But I would start from fresh. |
| 20:13 | heap_ | ah ;/ |
| 20:13 | heap_ | too much configuration |
| 20:13 | heap_ | all the services etc |
| 20:13 | heap_ | dont know |
| 20:14 | vpeter | Then just copy and fix if soemthing doesn't work. |
| 20:14 | vpeter | And copy all the files to some safe location in case new card is destroyed. Too. |
| 20:14 | heap_ | yeah |
| 20:14 | vpeter | Enough for today. Hope you will fix everything. |
| 20:15 | vpeter | Wondering how can you run arch if some user wrote it doesn't work :) |
| 20:15 | heap_ | well i never tried that method ... cp / to new card :) |
| 20:15 | heap_ | arch arm runs pretty nice on cubox |
| 20:16 | heap_ | the kingston sd cards are worst pain... last time bad blocks... now mbr gone... |
| 20:18 | heap_ | vpeter: anyway thank you |
| 20:31 | heap_ | but is uboot dependant on kernel version? |
| 20:31 | vpeter | no |
| 21:32 | heap_ | and what is /boot/SPL ? |
| 21:36 | vpeter | SPL (Second Program Loader) is small part of bootloader which initializes ram and loads rest of u-boot. Great to have one one bootloader for different hw. |
| 21:37 | heap_ | ah so assume no dep on kernel |
| 21:49 | heap_ | i need to store only loader and /boot on sd card.. rest on usb hdd |
