Android booting issue with hikey960 board using tools-images-hikey960/build-from-source/README-build-from-source.md

Hi,

I have created a partial build of boot.img and using the method mentioned in the link “https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/build-from-source/README-build-from-source.md

I have a complete built images including ramdisk.img for the build.

The kernel build is successful and the kernel commit id is

commit 0ac6bd98d0602f3d9ce291700a5c47d6d2c9d1b1

Merge remote-tracking branch 'mirror-android-4.9' into android-hikey-linaro-4.9

Change-Id: Iadcf5af86f6e8528ddba88718b5194b234d54f24
Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>

and i was able to create boot.img using,

./mkbootimg --kernel Image.gz-dtb --ramdisk ramdisk.img --cmdline “loglevel=15 androidboot.hardware=hikey960 androidboot.selinux=permissive firmware_class.path=/system/etc/firmware” --base 0x0 --tags-addr 0x07A00000 --kernel_offset 0x00080000 --ramdisk_offset 0x07c00000 --os_version 7.0 --os_patch_level 2016-08-05 --output boot.img

my board is set to uefi booting as I had tried booting debian along side.

The problem is when i boot the kernel it is not able to find fstab as below logs:

and it enters into fastboot mode.
but the original build is able to successfully boot.

need help to get this setup working.

I think the document is not updated to use abootimg, I file one bug to track this issue [1].

Please refer the link for build booting image with abootimg: How to install apt on rpb(hikey960) - #8 by leo-yan

[1] https://bugs.96boards.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790

Hi Leo,

Thank you for the information, As I dont have the complete android build, Can you suggest where I should download the abootimg from?

Hi Leo,

I installed abootimg from ubuntu package.

and built the image as suggested by you using abootimg, but the result is similar

So we can assume it’s in ramfs phase, could you check you are using right ramdisk.img? Usually after the AOSP is upgraded, you also need to use updated ramdisk.img, otherwise it might have some compatibility issue.

After Daniel reminded me, this is one common issue recently for AOSP change to move fstab into DT, so you need to update dtb file for boot.img. Also please check if have included the patch [1] for hikey960 dts changing.

In case you are interesting in detailed info, you could refer @Loic answer for this [2].
