Invalid DFU Suffix Signature - Custom u-boot

[RAtlu1]

Dear Admin

I have git cloned from git clone -b edison-v2015.10 https://github.com/01org/edison-u-boot.git

And I have modified edison.h to include the following

# define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS\"boot_edsboot=zboot 0x100000 0 0x800000 0x800000"\"bootargs_edsboot=console=tty1 console=ttyS2,115200n8 vmlinuz modules=loop,squashfs,sd-mod,usb-storage modloop=modloop-edison"\"bootcmd=setenv bootargs ${bootargs_edsboot}; run load_edsboot; run boot_edsboot"\"load_edsboot=load mmc 0:9 0x100000 vmlinuz; load mmc 0:9 0x800000 initramfs-edison"\

However when i am trying to flash the compiled u-boot-edison.bin I get the following.

Download[======================== ] 96% 323584 bytesInvalid DFU suffix signature

Please help as to how to get it working? We are close to releasing another Operating System for Edison

Hi,

Is this the full error log you're receiving, if not, please post the complete log. In the meantime look at this link https://community.particle.io/t/problem-with-flashing-firmware-solved/3514/17 https://community.particle.io/t/problem-with-flashing-firmware-solved/3514/17 it has a suggestion who faced a similar issue to yours.Additionally, you can also check https://gist.github.com/fboris/a72d5f6eae656beea5c1 https://gist.github.com/fboris/a72d5f6eae656beea5c1 and http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manuals/dfu-util http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manuals/dfu-utilLet me know your results.Sergio

Dear Sergio

Here is the pastebin of log

The interesting part is that it works fine with normal u-boot. I will try your suggestions.

We'll be waiting for your results.

Finally went the yocto route and testing a u-boot. These are what I am trying....

I am intercepting u-boot and trying to load the yocto kernel....with an initramfs file...but it seems to crash...

And my mmc 0:6

Are you following any guides to modify the u-boot, what other steps have you followed? Are you going to continue working on Yocto or are you going to use another OS? Why do you need to modify u-boot?

Hi Sergio, I have crossed the above hurdle.

I am trying to get Yocto Kernel + Initrd [Initramfs] working for Edison based on www.alpinelinux.org. It has gone forward a bit more however its still struck waiting for the console command prompt. Here is the pastebin

1. U-boot customization is complete and it works [Will create a seperate tutorial thread on how-to]

2. Kernel seems to boot fine but I think it still cannot find the following required files/dir present in mmc 0:6 fat partition hence no command prompt..

boot > ls mmc 0:6

9633513 initramfs-edison

5478784 vmlinuz

7946240 modloop-edison

apks/

3 file(s), 1 dir(s)

paste.ubuntu.com/16848735/

The following are the goals I set upon (unlike ubilinux or yocto):

1. Lightweight GNU/Linux platform [10k+ read to use Packages]
2. Read only system that enables zero data loss (protection) and enables emmc to survive for years [Must for IoT]
3. External hot swap support for SD-cards and USB devices
4. Can be made to automatically recover/repair external SD-card file-systems in the event of power loss during writing
5. Remote upgradability with very less downtime including possible preventive actions against a power cut in the middle of the upgrade.
6. Each Edison device can be configured in the field with a standard Windows laptop (fast deployment)
7. Each Edison device can be found on the network, even if the IP-address is unknown
8. Online cloud image test service
9. Console login with a hot pluggable USB null modem cable for field service
10. Use existing Watchdog + all other drivers including Wi-Fi as a hotspot
11. Easy to Toolchain (compiler) to compile other packages
12. X-windows Desktop support with all desktop applications

I plan to release it once its ready free of cost to community and continue supporting

[idata]

Thank you for providing the steps you've made so far. This is very interesting work however, we don't have experience with http://www.alpinelinux.org www.alpinelinux.org. I'd suggest you to contact the AlpineLinux community as the final issue is not getting the console prompt to boot from the AlpineLinux http://www.alpinelinux.org/community/ http://www.alpinelinux.org/community/ .

-Sergio

[RAtlu1]

I understand but are there any plans to support newer kernels? Too bad Edison is such a good hardware.....

[idata]

We're currently working on releasing a new kernel for the Edison. It is being updated publically in github here: https://github.com/01org/edison-linux/commits/wip-edison-3.19.5 https://github.com/01org/edison-linux/commits/wip-edison-3.19.5 . There's still not an estimated date of release for this new kernel.

Thanks,

The invalid signature issue has been fixed by using a custom generated OSIP binary.
