If you could, please follow the format that I have for Mirabox and RN102/104 installation in the release thread.

Sure, but I don't use GitHub for the kernel releases in this forum. Everything you need to build a kernel is in each release tarball.

I've just realized that I did not include the patch in the linux-6.7.5-mvebu-370xp-tld-3-bodhi.tar.bz2 release this time. Let me upload the patch to the release post.

I've updated 1st post to include the patch.

NOTE: After uploading, I relalized that I forgot to include the patch for this kernel. Here is linux-6.7.5-mvebu-370xp-tld-3.patch if you want to build your own kernel.

spiderdijon,

[   69.099838][    T1] pci 0000:00:02.0: ASPM: current common clock configuration is inconsistent, reconfiguring
[   69.188522][    T1] pci 0000:00:05.0: ASPM: current common clock configuration is inconsistent, reconfiguring

Try this PCI test: Toggle the PCI ASPM state to off/on. We don't know what's the default value is. So

Interrupt serial console and change the bootargs from

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial"'

to

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts pcie_aspm=off earlyprintk=serial"'

and

boot

If that does not work, change it to on

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts pcie_aspm=force earlyprintk=serial"'

Note that forcing it should be OK. But make sure you don't have anything important on the HDDs. The worse case, just disconnect power and reconnect.

Another way to test PCI ASPM.

While in Debian, disable it by:

echo performance > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
