I was able to fix it. I didn't even think about my /etc/config/fstab. I had anon_mount off. With it on I can now use my USB

@luz hahaha, trying to become a full onioneer little by little.

It is the Omega2+. Here is a log of the boot process to see if I'm missing anything.

I did see that address 80800000 is outside the zone range of the memory but the load address is defined as 0x80800000 and trying to load it via tftp and booting anywhere else fails to decompress the image. Maybe thats the issue and just assumed it should work. Thought the offset would take care of that but maybe I am misunderstanding what the offset does

CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR=0x80800000

This is the update for the OnionIOT bootloader :

https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/compare/master...OnionIoT:u-boot:feature/update-version-1

Hello all,

I am trying the new updates to the OnionIOT bootloader from thier repo that support DTS and FIT. I loaded the bootloader into my onion and it boots fine. However, when I try and boot my image (via tftp since because I wiped the memory of the onion) ot gets stuck at the same line after decompressing the image. Here are some logs of the process:

@crispyoz

@crispyoz Sorry for the time it took me to reply, I got it working in my docker and it works well enough but thanks for the help

@crispyoz I am struggling a bit as I am not entirely sure what the error is coming from. I get a couple initial warnings saying dependenceis need nodejs but I do have nodejs istalled. Do you by any chance do anythign different from the Onion's repo?

@crispyoz Thanks once again. Have you built the docker yourself for the firmware image or went nother route? Not sure if you also experienced connectivity issues with the docker attempting to update the feeds

@crispyoz Thank you for your help. do you know if those can be edited after flash or it has to be done upon build?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has been able to remake or redraw the memory partitions on the onion. I want a bigger bootloader partition for a costumized uboot image I made. I just need around 300-350 kb whereas the original is around 192. Any help would be greatly appreciated so I dont brick too many onoins lol.
