Hello misc!
I have problem booting an APU2 from SD card and USB stick.
It boots fine from the mSATA disk where I have the OpenBSD installation
that I have upgraded several times using sysupgrade(8).
I have tried to write install67.fs and install68.img to an SD card and to
an USB stick from a Linux machine using e.g
dd if=install67.fs of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
On the APU:s serial console, I press [F10] to get a boot prompt, and then
select the SD card or the USB stick. The kernel is loaded and the last
printout is "Entry point: 0xffff..." something. The next line
[ELF ... whatnot] does not come. After a while the APU resets and boots
again, or sometimes hangs.
The BIOS is factory installed SeaBIOS 1.10... something.
Can I expect a BIOS upgrade (flashrom) to solve this? I might have had 2
USB sticks in when booting, might that provoke a bug?
This machine should boot OpenBSD 6.7 from at least an USB stick, right?
Cheers

I know this is old, but answering in case anybody else finds this.
ReplyDeleteAt the boot prompt you need to enter
stty com0 115200
set tty com0
boot
Without the first two lines, it will try to use VGA and probably crashes when that hardware is completely missing, causing the reset.
