| 18:48 | andrewalker | Hey. Is it possible to break a Cubox by using too little power? I accidentally used a 5V, 2A power supply, instead of the 3A one. |
| 18:48 | andrewalker | I can't make it boot anymore, and this is one of the possible reasons. I'm having a really tough time debugging it. |
| 18:49 | vpeter | I think 2A is more than enough. |
| 18:49 | andrewalker | I turned it on after a couple of months, and it was outdated. I flashed the SD card, and since then I can't turn it on anymore. |
| 18:49 | andrewalker | not even with Ignition from solidrun |
| 18:50 | andrewalker | vpeter: I even used most of your builds of libreelec :) |
| 18:51 | andrewalker | all of them just show the solid run logo and some text, and then black screen. And the red led blinks twice and pauses, then blinks twice, and goes on. |
| 18:52 | andrewalker | I already tried dd'ing from linux and mac, using different installers... |
| 18:52 | andrewalker | any ideas? |
| 19:09 | andrewalker | huh. It managed to boot with a different sd card. Weird. |
| 19:22 | vpeter | sd cards can die :) |
| 19:27 | andrewalker | sure! but two laptops were able to keep reading and writing from it, just cubox couldn't boot. I guess it corrupted something that mattered for boot... |
| 19:30 | vpeter | Can you try to write image with dd and then read it back under different name. And then compare md5/sha256 checksum of both files. |
| 19:32 | andrewalker | yes, doing that. |
| 19:33 | vpeter | On broken sd card obviously :) |
| 19:35 | andrewalker | haha, yes :) |
| 19:38 | andrewalker | the one I wrote to the card (sha1sum): 45e9074fea71b52de12807ed94f432f885663377 LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.1.img |
| 19:39 | andrewalker | the one I read back: cf2897b40906c44b75cfdc42f4c750e9fb90e1ff LibreELEC-imx6.arm-8.0.1-rb.img |
| 19:39 | andrewalker | and the weirdest thing, this is the output of dd when writing: 574619648 bytes transferred in 8.536046 secs (67316840 bytes/sec) |
| 19:39 | andrewalker | and this when reading: 7892631552 bytes transferred in 136.942354 secs (57634700 bytes/sec) |
| 19:39 | andrewalker | it read a lot more data than it wrote |
| 19:40 | andrewalker | and took a lot longer too |
| 19:40 | andrewalker | it read the entire card, actually |
| 19:42 | andrewalker | oh well, never mind |
| 19:42 | andrewalker | I'll use the other card, it's fine |
| 19:42 | andrewalker | I'm glad it's fixed |
| 19:43 | vpeter | Wondering why dd didn't fail. |
| 19:44 | vpeter | Can you try to write again this time like dd if=.... of=.... && echo OK || echo ERROR |
| 19:45 | vpeter | Maybe I should add 'Verify' option in my USB&SD Creator app. |
| 19:46 | andrewalker | it echo'ed OK :( |
| 19:46 | vpeter | can you add option conv=fsync to dd ? |
| 19:47 | andrewalker | yes |
| 19:47 | andrewalker | dd: unknown conversion fsync |
| 19:47 | andrewalker | I'm on Mac now |
| 19:47 | vpeter | Unknown option there :) |
| 19:48 | andrewalker | yeah, apparently :) |
