Hello,
We are using RPi3 B/B+ in our infrastructure and the latest uboot changed his behaviour in case of error. In our case we have a kernel and DTB but we don’t have the ramdisk. Despite this, LAVA tries the tftp command for the RAMDISK but the 2 versions have different errors.
With uboot 2019.07 this is what happens:
tftp - {RAMDISK} U-Boot> tftp - {RAMDISK} bootloader-commands: Wait for prompt ['U-Boot>', 'Resetting CPU', 'Must RESET board to recover', 'TIMEOUT', 'Retry count exceeded', 'Retry time exceeded; starting again', 'ERROR: The remote end did not respond in time.', 'Bad Linux ARM64 Image magic!', 'Wrong Ramdisk Image Format', 'Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid', 'ERROR: Failed to allocate', 'TFTP error: trying to overwrite reserved memory'] (timeout 00:04:08) tftp - {RAMDISK} lan78xx_eth Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete...... done Using lan78xx_eth device TFTP from server 192.168.130.111; our IP address is 192.168.130.138 Filename '{RAMDISK}'. Load address: 0x0 Loading: * TFTP error: 'File not found' (1) Not retrying...
Uboot 2019.10 has a different behaviour and throws a different error:
tftp - {RAMDISK} U-Boot> tftp - {RAMDISK} bootloader-commands: Wait for prompt ['U-Boot>', 'Resetting CPU', 'Must RESET board to recover', 'TIMEOUT', 'Retry count exceeded', 'Retry time exceeded; starting again', 'ERROR: The remote end did not respond in time.', 'Bad Linux ARM64 Image magic!', 'Wrong Ramdisk Image Format', 'Ramdisk image is corrupt or invalid', 'ERROR: Failed to allocate', 'TFTP error: trying to overwrite reserved memory'] (timeout 00:04:12) tftp - {RAMDISK} lan78xx_eth Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete...... done Using lan78xx_eth device TFTP from server 192.168.130.111; our IP address is 192.168.130.138 Filename '{RAMDISK}'. TFTP error: trying to overwrite reserved memory... matched a bootloader error message: 'TFTP error: trying to overwrite reserved memory' (11)
At this point LAVA fails the job because it matches the error message.
What's the best way to solve the issue. How can I tell LAVA not to deal with the RAMDISK at all?
Thanks
