[Resolved] Stuck in U-Boot - ERROR: Bad Data CRC

  • F

    My setup is an Omega2+ inserted on an Expansion Dock. Also on the Expansion Dock, the Ethernet Expansion (no cable inserted) and the Oled Expansion. Power to the Expansion Dock came from a 5Vdc, 1Amp adapter (a 120Vac Apple iPod charger) + mini-usb cable.

    1. The Omega2+ powered-up as expected, and the Access Point was launched.
    2. I can connect to the web Console and open a SSH session.
    3. I transferred the new firmware using scp, then ran sysupgrade omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin
    4. I waited, noticed the WiFi connection drop, and waited, and waited, ... than waited some more
    5. I powered-off, then powered-on, but the Access Point never came back.

    Note that I did the exact same procedure on another Omega2+ just before, and all went fine. At that point, I researched the Serial Terminal alternative to have more debug details, and came up with this post (shameless plug):
    https://community.onion.io/topic/1329/tip-switch-the-omega-to-verbose

    So, I had to switch the mini-usb cable from the 5V adapter to the desktop computer to get the serial communication going. I copied the firmware file onto the USB key (FAT32 format) under the name omega2.bin, and inserted it in the Expansion Dock. Here's the Serial Terminal output when doing the U-Boot firmware upgrade:

   Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC

    So the Omega2+ is stuck in U-Boot. I can upload the firmware again, and I did. I even downloaded the same firmware file again.

    PS: I'd be curious to look into the U-Boot source code to see what it's doing to reach to its BAD DATA CRC conclusion.

    EDIT 11h50: I originally mentioned omega2p-v0.1.5-b135.bin when I meant omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin. Thanks WereCatf!

    @fossette What I am wondering is, why are you flashing such an old firmware? The bug more than likely emanates from there and it would behoove you to try a newer one.

    @WereCatf OMG! Good catch! Sorry about that! This one is a copy/paste mistake. I'll edit my post. The firmware that I downloaded is indeed the latest made on Friday the 13th...
    omega2p-v0.1.8-b145.bin is the only file that I have.

    I was able to flash today's firmware, build 147, using U-Boot, and it worked. No Bad Data CRC error using omega2p-v0.1.8-b147.bin.
    Thanks Team Onion! 💪
