Journal: Debian Bookworm build for MangoPI quad H616

I am starting this thread so that efforts to produce a running bookworm Debian image can be journaled and logged. Please feel free to step in and offer any input you feel may be of interest. Unfortunately, there appears to be very little forthcoming from the developer or vendor of these boards, so, so far at least, we seem to be on our own. A kernel build on the updated MangoPi failed, so I am currently building one on a Raspberry Pi 4G.

I performed a standard upgrade which resulted in:

bracka@MangoPi:~$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: MangoPi
Icon name: computer
Machine ID: 72220208b82d41a89e94c2e17deeba01
Boot ID: 144b3305e0be4adbabec81e2008ff454
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 5.16.17-sun50iw9
Architecture: arm64

The working U-Boot is dated:
U-Boot SPL 2021.10-orangepi (Oct 05 2022 - 14:25:44 +0800)

The kernel should be:
Linux 6.1.31-sun50iw9

Booting from the OrangePi image that seems to have been the source results in:

U-Boot SPL 2021.07-orangepi (Sep 07 2023 - 17:38:50 +0800)
DRAM:This DRAM setup is currently not supported.

Thanks!

Does anybody have thoughts on where to put this stuff?

I was recently looking into porting the most recent orangepi build to the mq-quad as a starting point. I replaced the /boot partition with no such luck. Not sure what the difference is in the boot sequence, but I’ll keep looking.

I looked up the details of U-Boot and have the complete kit for it, but decided to go after low hanging fruit first. I did not use your image since I had already simply done the upgrade of the existing piece of bloatware, and since I’m using a 32G microSD, I have lots of room to play.

It looks like the standard build system wants to be some kind of 64 bit X86 with a cross compiler. When I get far enough into this I’ll set up some kind of shared storage. Ideally, once this is all done it would be great to build a distribution from scratch, possibly ARMbian since it seems to have a better user support community.

I have both boot directories - BIG differences - one is 52 files, the other is 93. This is the U-Boot stuff I was talking about … U-Boot is the Universal Bootloader. Once I get the new kernel up, I’ll checkpoint what I’ve done and make a detailed entry here. For now, the kernel build is still running, but at least no errors this time (so far).

If you already have a place for me to push it, I can drop my files up there for you, otherwise it’ll have to wait until I get set up. From my build directory on my Pi 4B

Step 1 is to create and boot Debian 11 from a microSD card

The first thing is to create a bootable microSD card. From what I can tell, there appears to be only 1 option, that being to create IMG with XFCE, and the only working link is MEGA. The links pertaining to “Baidu” dont seem to work, or at least I don’t understand or trust how to make them work (I am not loading a program that I don’t understand).

The first problem encountered is that most if not all of the documentation is written in an oriental language that I do not understand. It is located here:

MQ-Quad H616 Mainline Kernel Compilation and Debugging Records (u-boot, kernel, buildroot)
https://bbs.aw-ol.com/topic/2054/mq-quad-h616-主线内核编译调试记录-u-boot-kernel-buildroot?lang=en-US

So, we’ll go through the steps to work with what we have and understand. The only bootable image so far is from the official web page and is again uploaded from a web site whose primary language is oriental.

https://mangopi.org/mqquad

The only Debian uploads that work seem to be Mega and the source code. This gets you an image called::
1506-nogpu.img.gz

Burn the OS image onto a suitable microSD and boot. This is a Debian release with XFCE. Using Raspberry Pi imager, we can write this to a microUSB and boot. I am using an Adafruit PiUART on the GPIO as a serial console.

The following is a log of the U-Boot activation as distributed, up to the point where the kernel is invoked. We will need this information later as a cold boot from power up of an upgraded SD card failed using standard procedures I will document later.

With the updated image, we don’t even see an attempt to boot.

Step 2 is to upgrade the microUSB card to bookworm (Debian 12)

see the following for how to upgrade:

This took hours and I messed up the documentation. I will see what I can find or I may rerun it. For now, I’ll just document the fallout. Please not that we have the correct version of Debian, but we do not (yet) report a correct kernel. At some point I also renamed the machine to MangoPi

are you using the default orangepi_zero2_defconfig provided with u-boot or have you made your own? Just started looking into the u-boot project as I’ve never heard of it before. looks neat.

bracka · January 6, 2024, 7:14am

So far everything is straight vanilla as shipped. I pulled a copy of both the standard OrangePi Zero 2W bookworm minimal image and the MangoPi’s working ‘/boot’ directory. All I have done with them so far is to tar them up and compare number of files. I am trying to document everything as I go.

I followed some instructions on how to build and apply a kernel, but unfortunately lost the link. It may have actually built a useable kernel since I saw the installation procedure update some stuff in U-Boot when I applied it, but I made a bad assumption due to a faulty console and assumed the result did not boot so I trashed it. I may have been wrong, and of course could not log it due to the faulty console. My next attempt, however, ran a lot quicker and failed spectacularly. I have built a new kernel with the original configuration and all defaults for any new features.

Just working on checkpointing the current status at this time. Sick of burning the same microSD over and over …

Step 2(B) minor correction to updated image

After building the image and booting I noticed that the service smartmontools was failing to start with an error due to no SMART enabled devices being on the system. I disabled the service as there likely never will be a SMART device attached. This probably shouldn’t be an error, but we DO want to boot clean …

bracka@MangoPi:~$ systemctl disable smartmontools

The above steps get us about as far as we can get without starting to reverse engineer stuff and generating our own custom release. It would be great if somebody in charge of this product chimed in and at least gave us some sort of update regarding Debian Bookworm and this board, even if it is to say that there is no support.

Current Status of Kernel

An up to date image from an OrangePi Zero 2W shows the following:

orangepi@iroquois:~$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: iroquois
Icon name: computer
Machine ID: e1af5f93623b43d58c0567fea31978a8
Boot ID: 290602f979cc4bae924b4d59b7c7be3a
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 6.1.31-sun50iw9
Architecture: arm64

The same from a MangoPi shows:

orangepi@MangoPi:/$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: MangoPi
Icon name: computer
Machine ID: 72220208b82d41a89e94c2e17deeba01
Boot ID: 8d3a21d1f5f74d76805ae06d7de62dc6
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 5.16.17-sun50iw9
Architecture: arm64

This indicates that we need to build and update a revised kernel for bookworm. The rest of the packages seem to have been updated, but there is no sense performing a comparison until this is up to date. Of note is that I also attempted a full ARMbian build but this failed to boot. More on that later. I also pulled down the kernel sources and compiled them, but the resulting image also did not boot.

Current status of Boot Image (u-boot)

On the latest OrangePi build we see:the following at the start of boot on the console:

This is where this thread is going to end. We are still running an old u-boot and kernel, but everything else seems to have updated. Verified s follows:

orangepi@MangoPi:/$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: MangoPi

Machine ID: 72220208b82d41a89e94c2e17deeba01
Boot ID: 8d3a21d1f5f74d76805ae06d7de62dc6
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Kernel: Linux 5.16.17-sun50iw9
Architecture: arm64

orangepi@MangoPi:/$ uname -mrs
Linux 5.16.17-sun50iw9 aarch64

Building a new u-boot and kernel points us at:
MQ-Quad H616 Mainline Kernel Compilation and Debugging Records (u-boot, kernel, buildroot)

Will open up new threads as the investigation continues, unless @Frontesque gets there first. This one is probably already too long.

Cheers, Tony

The link you mentioned is interesting and might be a strong lead. I’ll have to take some time to look into it, though it seems fairly detailed. sadly, load times are atrocious on that site for me (in the united states)

bracka · January 25, 2024, 11:57pm

Hold off. It is full of typos and stuff that doesn’t work. I managed to build everything (can send you my document offline) but not impressed. I had to do the kernel build in a Raspberry Pi because the MangoPi wedges. I followed the instructions for u-boot and get dead air or:

mangopi@MangoPi:~/upgrade$ sunxi-tools/sunxi-fel uboot u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
ERROR: Allwinner USB FEL device not found!

Happy to share my work & findings. I am also going to post here when I get around to it. There are a few more sites. I also have a few orangepis so I can compare results there as well. Stay tuned or if you want to speed things up let me know where to send stuff. I have a WD Cloud I could share, but WD messed up the management interface. Open to suggestions.

Frontesque · January 26, 2024, 12:29am

I only have 2 rpis and the mq-quad, though I do have an Ampere server that I can do ARM64 based builds on. I’m willing to create build scripts to automate the process if you want, and I don’t mind hosting anything required on my build site.

Hi @Frontesque

I placed my document (in progress) up on my iDrive which should be accessible by:

It should contain a document that translates the Chinese document into English and works through it. I also put the final upgrade of the original distribution there. I only have limited space with Apple, so let me know when you’ve pulled it down. I will also leave a file in there with my direct email address.

Because this is getting long winded and seems like a good place to park the “normal” bookworm build, I opened up a new log (discussion) for building the u-boot stuff and will probably do a third for the kernel.

Files are uploaded to iCloud. Let me know when you have them so that I can free up the space.

MangoPi-bookworm.tar.gz
Contains all of the uploaded source files and results of running their scripts.

MangoPi-bookworm.dump.gz
Contains a dump of the filesystem (standalone) after all the updates

MangoPi-bookworm.img.gz
Contains a dd of a 8GB microSD of the system after the upgrades

backup.tar.gz contains a couple of scripts to dump a filesystem for file level restores.
sudo apt install -y dump (to use the the backup scripts to a thumb drive)

Hey there. Is MangoPi-bookworm.img.gz still available for download somewhere?

Frontesque · April 11, 2024, 11:55pm

The files that were linked by @bracka contained some personal information, so he is no longer hosting them (as far as I’m aware). I am hosting a minimal copy of Bookworm for the h616, viewable on this thread. The only drawback is that it’s still running a V5 kernel. For 99% of applications, this won’t matter.

rymut · April 19, 2024, 5:11pm

armbian bookworm with v6 kernel can be found here Armbian-unofficial_24.5.0-trunk_Mangopi-mqquad_bookworm_edge_6.7.11_minimal.img - Google 雲端硬碟

Works with h616 and h618, repo for building can be found here GitHub - rymut/armbian-build_mangopi-mq-quad_longan-pi-3h at development
