I got my RB5 before there’s a 96board release and I’m trying to switch to it from the vendor version. The board can still boot into a login screen on the debug UART port showing “ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS qrb5165-rb5” which I think was the version from thundercomm.
I’ve tried both the fastboot and recovery installation methods from Installation for Qualcomm Robotics RB5 development kit - 96Boards but couldn’t get either to work correctly.

For the fastboot method, I don’t see the “blue LED” turning on. From the debug UART, however, I can see that it did start the fastboot,
Launching fastboot Fastboot Build Info: Nov 16 2020 15:05:04 usb_shared_hs_phy_init: hs phy cfg size: 12 usb_shared_ss_phy_init: ss phy cfg size: 143 ssusb_phy_init_success_lane_B: 1 Fastboot: Initializing...

Failed to get width or height Failed to get the graphics output protocol. Failed to get the graphics output protocol. Unable to show fastboot menu on screen: Out of Resources
There seems to be some failures but these doesn’t prevent fastboot from showing up on the host. I can see
ZTQ39M16002Z fastboot
from
fastboot devices
on the host. However, when I try to flash the bootloader using./flashall
, it stops doing anything AFAICT after printingSending 'partition:0' (44 KB)
and on the debug UART I see
Handling Cmd: getvar:has-slot:partition Handling Cmd: Fastboot Send Fail Handling Cmd: getvar:is-logical:partit Handling Cmd: download:0000b000:partit DXE_ASSERT!: /home/scm/jenkins/workspace/VerifyBuild-for-IOT-18.04/build-dir/SDK_MANAGER-rb5165-lu1.0-post_cs-dev/apps_proc/build-qti-distro-ubuntu-fullstack-debug/tmp-gli (691):
So something seems to be wrong here…

For the recovery method, first of all the
qdl
command gets stuck immediately (without printing anything) half the time. When it works, it would get stuck afterLOG: INFO: End of supported functions 15 LOG: INFO: Calling handler for configure LOG: INFO: Storage type set to value UFS LOG: INFO: Calling handler for program [PROGRAM] flashed "rootfs" successfully LOG: INFO: Calling handler for program
(and sometimes before the

message). (From the debugger it hangs in apoll
waiting for reply from the ttyUSB and a brief look at wireshark shows a lot of traffic with-EINPROGRESS
) I’ve waited up to a few minutes here and there’s no progress at all.The debug UART prints,

The
Can't detect if LP5 or LP4. If it fails to start check build/harware combo
is the only thing that I can see that could be problematic. Is it something I need to worry about? Is there multiple versions of the board?I’ve tried both the latest release (
-14
) and the snapshot (-15
) and they behaves basically the same.
