Amiko Alien 2 Won`t Boot

    ofc, i can - but do you think that this is the problem?
    have you seen the logfiles? did you see the errors?
    can you read and understand this? i dont!

    I have not booted to Spark in a long time (maybe two years ago...) so I am not sure about those errors, but if Spark is expecting a bigger reserved area than it is given, it could cause it to crash.


    Also, can you post the serial console output from the very beginning - from power on, while you are holding the "ok" button?

    Yes from the command prompt (PDK7105>) type "printenv" without the quotes.


    The output will be long, so if you are using putty the first thing to do is right-click on the title bar (top part of the window) and select change settings. Then under window set "lines of scrollback" to something big like 2000. Then restart the stb and enter the command. After, right-click on the title bar and select "Copy All to Clipboard" - then you can paste everything...


    Ok, just looked closer at you output and you already typed the command ok. It looks like you have lost almost all of your environment settings! I will have to go into my box later tonight and retrieve all the settings you will need. For now if you want to boot back to enigma2, you can try the following.


    1. boot to the command prompt
    2. enter the following:

    Code
    setenv bootargs "console=ttyAS0,115200 rw root=/dev/mtdblock6 rootfstype=jffs2 init=/bin/devinit coprocessor_mem=4m@0x40000000,4m@0x40400000 printk=1 nwhwconf=device:eth0,hwaddr:00:80:E1:12:40:61 ip=172.100.100.249:172.100.100.174:172.100.100.174:255.255.0.0:Enigma2:eth0:off stmmaceth=msglvl:0,phyaddr:2,watchdog:5000 bigphysarea=6000"


    Code
    setenv bootcmd "nboot.i 0x80000000 0  0x18000000 ;bootm 0x80000000"


    Then

    Code
    saveenv


    That should save the settings so it will automatically boot next time to enigma2


    Then just:

    Code
    boot


    (If you make the changes for putty above first and capture everything again and post, it can help..)

    the box does not boot itself, when i turn off and on again by the power Switch the box stucks in "boot" again.
    no Chance by usb to Flash the rescue Image beacuse i cant come to "force ....."


    - - - Updated - - -


    @jouser
    i did not read carefully - i dont want boot to enigma, i Need spark.
    enigma is no Problem when i can boot with spark. i must come to: Switch on - spark - force - U LD ..... Flash the rescue.
    so maybe i can do this by rs232 with putty? boot/Flash from usb or pc?


    Edited once, last by helcer ().

    I understand your ultimate goal, but only gave you the option to go back to enigma until box is fixed. :)


    I can give you the environment variables you need, but would like to see the full boot info to make sure what version of U-Boot you have. So, if you can do the putty changes I posted above and boot and "copy all" and paste the output here, I can post some possible fix...
    (the output you have already posted does not show the initial part of the boot process...)


    - - - Updated - - -


    Here are the commands to set your environment variables and save them. Probably only want to cut and past 5-10 at a time....


    After type

    Code
    printenv

    to verify they are all set correctly, then type

    Code
    saveenv

    to save them to flash.
    Then you can type

    Code
    reset

    which will restart the box. Even if it still does not boot to Spark, you should now be able to hold the "OK" button and flash from USB as usual... Of course if it still doesn't work, capture the complete boot with putty and post back here.

    hi jo :)
    so i shall make these 4 steps you wrote - correct?
    or must i make the steps from your post #26 before?
    this is all a Little bit high for me and absolute new - so forgive me my questions :)


    isnt it possible to Flash the rescue Image by rs232?
    wouldn´t that be easier?

    First do this with putty

    Quote

    The output will be long, so if you are using putty the first thing to do is right-click on the title bar (top part of the window) and select change settings. Then under window set "lines of scrollback" to something big like 2000. Then restart the stb and enter the command. After, right-click on the title bar and select "Copy All to Clipboard" - then you can paste everything...


    That way you can scroll up and down and see everything.


    Then enter the setenv commands by cutting and pasting, but only do 5-10 lines at a time to make sure they all work.


    Then enter the printenv command which will show you all your variables. If the last step was done right, you should see them all listed.


    Then enter the saveenv command to save the variables to flash. Otherwise they will be lost when you reboot.


    Then enter the reset command to restart the box.


    If Spark still does not boot, you can try to switch off in the back and switch back on while holding the "OK" button. The variables you set above should now enable it to work as usual. If not, cut and paste the whole putty terminal back here so we can see what is the problem.


    Re-flashing by serial is not setup by default for these boxes, the default is to flash from USB. But in any case, you need to set the environment variables that were lost and the way I wrote is the easiest way.

    same again - "boot" and finish

    The commands did not get entered ok. Try again cutting and pasting just 2-3 lines at a time starting with

    Code
    setenv board 'pdk7105'

    Make sure each time you get the whole line including both single quote marks ( ' ) and after each time you should get the

    Code
    PDK7105>

    command prompt back. If you get just

    Code
    >

    then it means you did not paste both single quote marks ( ' ). In that case, type another single quote ( ' ) by itself and return and try again.


    Every command should read

    Code
    setenv ....

    If it does not start with that, then there was something wrong with the input.


    Also at the end, you entered

    Code
    'printenv

    instead of just

    Code
    printenv

    So the command did not work, nor did any commands afterwards.



    BTW - when posting the output back here, it is best to use the "#" option and paste the output between the "[ CODE ]" and " [ /CODE ]". Then it will be put in a scrollable box like in my posts...
