@ksuszka,

Thanks. So let me upload a new DTB later to see if we can get around this problem.

UPDATE1: looks like I need to investigate further. My initial thought about tweaking the DTS is probably not good.
UPDATE2: looks like I need to build a new kernel to test this kernel panic issue.

All,

Please try this kernel. See if it helps with the kernel panic.

Unfortunatelly, there is still a kernel panic:
*** FlashNumber...
Code: :
*** Loading Next Image...
*** Loading Next Image...
*** Set Partition for Image...
*** Validate Image...
*** GPIO_14, GPIO_13 both low ...
 Controller1 DDR size reg is 0xE ...
*** Your OBM Boot Test Successes ...

For clarification what I did:

- I downloaded the new kernel archive to the machine and extracted files
- I extracted linux-dtb-6.7.5-mvebu-tld-2.tar file to a temporary folder and compared dts/mmp3-dell-ariel.dtb file to the one I have in my dts folder from kernel 6.5.7 and there was no change
- I installed both deb files from the archive in the system
- I run following commands to recreate boot images
KERNEL_VERSION=6.7.5-mvebu-tld-2
cat zImage-${KERNEL_VERSION} dts/mmp3-dell-ariel.dtb > zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x8000 -e 0x8000 -n Linux-${KERNEL_VERSION} -d zImage.fdt uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x3000000 -e 0x3000000 -d initrd.img-${KERNEL_VERSION}  uInitrd
- I copied created uImage/uInitrd files to the boot partition and rebooted the system

I can see this problem a bit better now. This might be the issue with cpuidle is broken for this SoC during early booting.

But unfortunately we don't have coherency fabric defined in the MMP3 DTS (so we can mark cpuidle as broken).

Hello

I also want to install Debian on this thing but it is hard for me to read through all these things and understand everything. I created the Debian stick with the rootfs and the bootfs partition successfully but I don’t no how to install the uboot loader or what I have to do with the wloader or how to install it.
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020
April 01, 2024 02:15PM
maxt1907,

We don't have the installation instruction written for this box yet.

But basically you'd start from Mischif's post here:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,134563,134729#msg-134729

Quote

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
cat /mnt/BOOTFS/zImage-6.2.8-mvebu-tld-2.0 /mnt/BOOTFS/dts/mmp3-dell-ariel.dtb > /mnt/BOOTFS/zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -d /mnt/BOOTFS/zImage.fdt /mnt/BOOTFS/uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -d /mnt/rootfs/boot/initrd.img-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1 /mnt/BOOTFS/uInitrd

wloader.conf looks like this:

<TX0D_START>

kernel=uImage
initrd=uInitrd
param="rootdelay=5 root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS2,115200 raid=noautodetect"

<TX0D_END>

/mnt/bootfs looks like this:

drwxr-xr-x 2 mischif mischif 1536 Dec 31 1969 .
-rw-r--r-- 1 mischif mischif 4973597 Apr 9 21:24 uImage
-rw-r--r-- 1 mischif mischif 9649885 Apr 9 21:26 uInitrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 mischif mischif 136 Apr 9 21:28 wloader.cfg
drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 34 Apr 9 21:45 ..

And later we refined the wloader.cfg:

Quote

Modify the wloader.cfg
<TX0D_START>
kernel=uImage
initrd=uInitrd
param="rootdelay=5 root=LABEL=rootfs raid=noautodetect console=ttyS2,115200 mtdparts=spi1.0:4m(boot)"
<TX0D_END>

As ksuszka and mmm found during testing later, the last kernel that boots without panic problem is 6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1.

wLoader is the bootloader installed on this terminal. Here is some basic info about wLoader: https://linux-mmp.docs.kernel.org/dell-wyse-3020.html. Keep in mind that it is rather old article so you should use it just as a guideline and use commands/files content from bodhi's post instead.

I booted the USB stick but I get an black screen after the bootloader screen and selecting the usb stick. The LEDs of the ethernet connection lights up after some seconds but the screen stays black. I connected an working monitor directly via DVI cable (no adapters or anything else).

Is an serial connection needed for setting this up? ssh doesn't worked. But it looks like it is online. Sorry for my bad english.

Thank you for your help.
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020
April 03, 2024 01:48PM
Unfortunately, the current version of the debian kernel from this site does not support video output at all. So don't expect working video output even if you manage to boot linux sucessfully. As far as I know there is no working DTS file which supports video output available publicly.

So the first thing to do after boot is to check if your router (or whatever dhcp server you are running) assigns an IP address to your device. If it is not the case then probably you missed some configuration steps.

Check following links for more info:
- The original post by Mischif
- The revised post with some additional required configuration steps
- An attempt of automated installation script by mmm which can be used as a reference

But the best bet is to set up a serial connection to see what is the issue directly on the machine. Here are some directions: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,134563,136696#msg-136696

Thank you very much for your help. I booted it now and it works fine.

I now want to install it to the local hard drive of the device but in parted and lsblk the local hard drive (4GB) is not detected.

Is there anything I can do? I also want to get an 802.11n 8188 usb stick to work.

The usb stick is detected as the following: "Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188FTV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R 2.4G WLAN Adapter"

Can I install non-free firmware or anything to get this stick to work?

The main problem is the local storage not detected. In lsblk only usb stick shows up. Thank you for your help again.
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020

@Max,

Boot with USB, log in and do
modprobe mmc_block

See if it is now initiliazed.

If it's OK, add the mmc_block module to initramfs:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,134563,136672#msg-136672

Note that since you are running 6.5.7, the mkimage command should be:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1 -d initrd.img-6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1 uInitrd

This is the result when typing the command in the command line:

root@debian:~# modprobe mmc_block
modprobe: FATAL: Module mmc_block not found in directory /lib/modules/6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1


Is this happening because I used the wrong command for mkimage I used the updated automated script which is one or two posts under the one you linked at ?It uses another mkimage commands

How do I add the mmc_block to the initramfs?

Thank you for your time and help.

Yes, I forgot that the load address 0x3000000 correct for this box.

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x3000000 -e 0x3000000 -n initramfs 6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1 -d initrd.img-6.57-mvebu-tld-1 uInitrd

So you did use the right command.

Perhaps something went wrong during your installation. Check if the module is in the rootfs:

uname -a
ls -lart /boot
find  /lib/modules/6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1/ -name '*mmc*'

Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020
April 06, 2024 04:45AM
Max, we missed one important link with a vital piece of info - the post with generic instruction on how to install debian on those embedded machines. There is a section about installing custom version of kernel on top of existing rootfs. One step you probably missed is to install kernel deb package inside an os booted from usb stick. This is most likely the reason you don't have additional kernel modules.

You need to boot OS from the usb stick, ssh into it and run
dpkg -i linux-image-6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1_1_armhf.deb
command in a folder where you unpacked the 6.5.7 kernel. If you unpacked it into bootfs then you may to need to mount it first or even simpler - attach the usb stick back to you main computer and unpack kernel archive somewhere on your rootfs - I usually use the /boot folder on rootfs for it.

For a long run you should probably also install your custom kernel headers.

After you do this, you should be able to access mmc from your usb booted OS. Next, If you think about booting from mmc, you need to add this driver to initrd, so you need to add it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, update initramfs, recreate initrd, put it into bootfs. Then you will have the boot partition with a kernel which is able to access mmc by itself and can be used as a kernel to boot from mmc directly.

Ok this worked now I can see the Mmc device. How can I install the Linux on the local hard disk? I created an 100MB Fat32 boot partition and the rest as an ext3 Debian partition. So I extract the tar image to the rootfs image but what to do with the boot fs image? Just run the kernel-install.sh script for the bootfs? Do I need to extract the kernel tar file to the bootfs 100mb boot partition?

Is there a guide on how to create the partitioning?
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020
April 06, 2024 01:23PM
It is basically the same as with the usb stick. So you can copy everything from your bootable usb stick bootfs partition to the bootfs partition on the mmc, but first you need to make sure that mmc_block module is in initrd file on this boot partition because without it it will start booting and then it will fail as it won't be able to read the rest of the system from mmc.

Next you need to configure WLoader to boot from emmc which is a bit tricky. See this post and later discussions: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,134563,136655#msg-136655

Here are some commands I used in the past: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,134563,136687#msg-136687

I tried to mount the internal bootfs partition formatted as fat32 but I says that the file system vfat is unknown by the system and I can’t mount it.
Re: Debian on Dell Wyse 3020
April 07, 2024 07:26AM
What do you mean by internal bootfs partition?

AFAIK vfat driver is in the kernel deb file so if you installed kernel image with dpkg command it should be present. Try:

modprobe vfat
find /lib/modules/6.5.7-mvebu-tld-1/ -name '*vfat*'

@Max, you can use fdisk, sfdisk, parted and probably a dozen other command line partition tools. You also need mkfs.ext3 and mkfs.vfat to make file system. Also e2label may be useful to change partition label (however you can do this also with parition tools).

You can use @mmm script mentioned before as a reference. It is doing partitioning using sfdisk.

Looks like you are using a wrong tutorial.

This is what we are using here:

https://linux-mmp.docs.kernel.org/dell-wyse-3020.html

And in this thread, this is the post you should start from:

That looks OK, it's the right chip. But as with any cheap serial converter module from eBay, you'd have to try to know for sure.

If it does not work, see in the Wiki thread:
