and turning off the laptop.
I haven’t updated the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, because I saw the warning after this disaster
ostrzeżenie: /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf zainstalowany jako /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.pacnew
But I don’t think this file is the reason.
Do I need to flash Pinebook Pro somehow or just take out the eMMC module, put it in the adapter and use “disk destroyer” with older version of these *.img files?
I’ve applied these *.img files again and will try to boot. The idbloader.img is bigger than the version from 1.5.
Edit 1: Is dead, like before. I’ll try the older versions without overwriting idbloader.img area with zeros.
The time left is all over the place. I’ll open up PBP tomorrow to check connectors and I’ll overwrite idbloader.img area with zeros before writing the older one, because the 1.5 version was smaller.
Can safely say, this .pacnew did not come from this uboot update. We haven’t used bootsplash on the PBP for a long time. So it must be from an earlier update to the package. We should indeed disregard that.
The updated uboot is to add support for the new batch of PBP, which uses a different RAM chip than the old one, so the vendor had to add support for this new chip in their firmware. We tested it on our old devices before making the update, to make sure it also works on the older devices, which it did. So not sure why it doesn’t on yours.
What steps should I make to get UART output when the PBP is “dead”? I know, there is a switch audio/UART and I need to connect UART adapter through mini jack.
The idbloader.img is smaller (v1.5) than the previous one (v1.24). Is overwriting the larger idbloader.img area with file containing zeros and size of the larger one necessary before writing the smaller one? I’m asking because the battery show “normal” time left (and it went from 55% to 66% over night without charging ).
I’ve the output, but only for the 1.5 version, because I the power button stopped working after update to 1.24 and there is no output for the current version.
On the back of the bottom case is date “2019. 12. 6”, maybe it is a production date. I’ve replaced the keyboard, because UK layout felt weird and the US layout works better for me. Idk if the keyboard matters but the power button is built in it.
I’m not using the mainline U-Boot because there was screen issues after restart and BSP U-Boot solved it. (Problem with the LCD screen when rebooting Pinebook Pro)
