Debian on Dell Wyse 3020

Bodhi,

Is there a release schedule for when the next kernel/rootfs would be released?

Also I don't know if you'll find this useful but I uploaded the dts/dtb I managed to pull from the most recent Fedora minimal release, hopefully it can help move things along somewhat faster: https://file.io/VhVwD5uzOhmk

I don't have a hard schedule. Usually about every 2 months (that's when the next stable version that is really "stable" would be released). So it would be 6 weeks to 10 weeks from now.

Cool! definitely useful.

By the way, I have a self imposed size limit of 5MB for MVEBU kernel. That's because the WD NAS boxes have u-boot that can only boot <= 5M kernel. So if I add this architecture, it might be over 5MB. But we will see.

Has anyone managed to get a custom kernel working on the 3020 yet? I tried following wildhem's steps but when I try flashing 3020-wloader.bin the system doesn't get past the "Initiating devices" screen.

I've been trying with the 5.2.9 and 5.13.8 kernels because the older ones have been deleted from dropbox and I have a copy of mmp3-dell-ariel.dtb I got from a recent copy of Fedora; I can create the fat partition, call mkimage on the zImage in the zip and modify wloader.conf to point to the new kernel, but every time I try to load it I get a panic:

Opening ide3: ...
Coredump: open error 6

I can create a working Ubuntu usb with the old kernel, but I really want to use something more recent; if it makes a difference I'm on bios version 7.1_216. I don't really get console output even when I boot the Dell upgrade USB, but here's what I do get:

Mischif,

Let me check if these LTS kernels are still in my Dropbox. Perhaps the bitly links were expired.

@bodhi are you sure your kernel builds will support the Wyse 3020? It isn't a dove device it is an mmp based device.

Thanks Ray! I forgot this is MMP.

@Mischif,

I guess the best bet is you can check back the forum to see when I can add this architecture to the next released MVEBU kernel.

Mischif,

Please post in this new thread. Looks like I've botched the split/merge topics ;) so we probably need to repost some posts in the Dell Wyse T50 thread here.

I don't know if you got the dts/dtb files last time but I'm going to try a new file host; they should expire after 3 days but I'll link to mmp3-dell-ariel.dtb and mmp3-dell-ariel.dts anyway.

If you can post your test kernel somewhere I can see if it will boot my machine.

OK cool! I got these 2 files now.

Sure.I will compile and put the ariel DTB in the kernel and upload it.

But I think you will need to fake the ubuntu kernel files on /boot. The naming convention is a bit different. And since you don't have access to serial console, that's the only way to boot the new kernel.

If you have serial console and can interrupt u-boot, then things will be much easier.

Strike that!

Just checked, the ariel DTS is already in the mainline kernel :)

So that will make things a lot easier.

According to the DTS, you need to connect to UART3.

serial2 = &uart3;

Somewhere on the board are there more than one UART header?

bodhi,

There are two sets of headers which look like UART ports on the motherboard; I've tried connecting to both but only one seems to be functional with the Dell kernel and it doesn't seem to let me data back.

I can create a new USB drive to test the new kernel and I can try hooking up to serial again to see if the new kernel will give me additional control, would I need all the files like the System.map too or would the zImage and initrd be enough?

Normally it would be enough to have 3 files: zImage, initrd, and DTB. So without installing the kernel, we can boot the board with those 3 files.

However, we don't know what this stock u-boot looks like, and its envs used to boot the kernel look like. So we can only try to guess from the Ubuntu rootfs.

This kernel apparently is old and not an FDT kernel. So the board code was built into the kernel directly. But with modern kernel and device tree we can deal with that.

The problem here is I expected to see uImage and uInitrd. But this u-boot boots vmlinuz and initrd.img. Let's see what's in bootimg.cfg.

That makes it a lot harder to get it booting the kernel files.

This u-boot is old, so it should use bootm. UPDATE: this box does not use u-boot, the boot loader is wloader.

You could try this.

Without installing new kernel 6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0, mount the USB rootfs Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 on another Linux box. Assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1/boot.

Extract the new kernel

cd /media/sdb1/boot
tar xf linux-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.x-bodhi.tar.bz2
tar xf linux-dtb-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0.tar

Create the kernel files

cp -a zImage-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0 zImage.fdt 
cat dts/mmp3-dell-ariel.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0  -d zImage.fdt uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0 -d initrd.img-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0 uInitrd

And then link them to where u-boot expected

ln -s uImage vmlinuz
ln -s uInitrd initrd.img

List the files for keepsake

ls -lart
sync

And then umount and take it to the Wyse 3020 try booting with it.

bodhi,

Without installing the image deb file I don't have a 6.2.8 initrd; I tried using the 5.13.8 initrd instead and I didn't get a segfault but wloader seemed to crash while loading everything and I still got nothing from the serial console, maybe that's progress.

Mischif,

Right, I forgot to modify that kernel initrd name. The initrd is not important, you could use any version close to the rootfs version (Debian 11.x or 10.x)

I think we are flying blind without serial console, so it is probably best to solve that first. Let's look at the WyseT50 thread to see if Koen got serial console working.

bodhi,

Turns out I just made a dumb mistake with the serial argument; I now have access to a console and the 6.2 kernel is booting, but for some reason it fails to recognize the flash drive I'm booting from to mount the rootfs:

Gave up waiting for root file system device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT!  /dev/sda2 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!

Please post the serial header location, and pinouts.

And post the entire serial boot log (from uboot banner until when the kernel hang).

bodhi,

Serial info can be found on this page; I'm connected through the 4502.

I don't get any uboot info through the serial console; I've given you everything I get except for this part that comes up before wloader passes control to the new kernel, I don't think it's worth much but maybe you see something I don't:

bodhi,

I create a FAT32 partition mounted at /mnt/bootfs to hold the kernel/initrd/wloader.conf, then I create an ext3 filesystem mounted at /mnt/rootfs to hold the rootfs. From there I just extract everything as necessary and delete unused files:

tar -C /mnt/rootfs/ -x -j -f ~/Downloads/Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
tar -C /mnt/BOOTFS/ -x -j -f ~/Downloads/linux-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.x-bodhi.tar.bz2

wloader.conf looks like this:

Looking back through the 6.2 logs I never see the kernel try to bring up USB, is it possible something missed getting compiled in?

Mischif,

Thanks!

Indeed, this kernel default to no USB enabled. Will upload the tld-2.1 version.

Also, the bootargs should be:

param="rootdelay=5 root=LABEL=rootfs console=ttyS2,115200 raid=noautodetect earlyprintk=serial"

The 2nd partition contains the rootfs, and labeled as rootfs.

bodhi,

No luck, the logs with the 2.1 kernel looked the same as with the 2.0 kernel, but I did notice the 2.1 kernel was somehow smaller then the 2.0 kernel.

Reviewing the old kernel boot logs it looks like usb is handled by the pxau2o-ehci, mmp3-usb-phy and mmp3-hsic-phy modules, do you know if they're currently being compiled in your kernels?

Mischif,

Ah. I have to check.

I know mmp3* are configured in as builtin modules (no need to modprobe). But pxa* belong to previous versions of the SoC.

bodhi,

Let me know when you've created a new build with the modules I brought up, you can take a look at the logs yourself as well to see if there might be any other relevant ones I missed.

Mischif,

mmp3-usb-phy and mmp3-hsic-phy are already in 2.1 kernel.

I'll take a look at pxau2o-ehci.
