onion 2s does not save any data



  • my custom card with the onion omega 2s cleaned on board does not recognize the sd card. this is the message that appears when i insert the sd with the system on.Immagine_onion.png



  • @evelina I've never seen this error message but if you google "no support for card's volts" it indicates an issue with your design.

    Have you looked at the 2S reference schematics?



  • @evelina :

    This is what I see in my Omega2+ (with SD Reader built onto the SoC package) when the SD Reader is loaded/active:

    root@Omega-745F:/# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios
    clock: 48000000 Hz
    vdd: 20 (3.2 ~ 3.3 V)
    bus mode: 2 (push-pull)
    chip select: 0 (don't care)
    power mode: 2 (on)
    bus width: 2 (4 bits)
    timing spec: 2 (sd high-speed)
    signal voltage: 0 (3.30 V)
    driver type: 0 (driver type B)

    I would guess the reader has to be compatible for Omega2S.

    Just FI, here is what is shows when the SD card is absent:

    root@Omega-745F:/# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/ios
    clock: 0 Hz
    vdd: 0 (invalid)
    bus mode: 2 (push-pull)
    chip select: 0 (don't care)
    power mode: 0 (off)
    bus width: 0 (1 bits)
    timing spec: 0 (legacy)
    signal voltage: 0 (3.30 V)
    driver type: 0 (driver type B)

    Thanks..



  • @crispyoz Hello, thanks for the suggestion, but your test gave the following result. no file or folder is saved after the reboot

  • @tjoseph1 said in onion 2s does not save any data:

    hi,
    my sd card is absent. you think is something about the schematic that misconnects the sd card?Immagine_onion2.png



  • @evelina we can't see the entire boot process in your screen shot but clearly you have some file system issues.

    Your ongoing loss of files after reboot is unsurprising when I look at the output of your df -hT because it shows your root file system is in /tmp/root which means it will get wiped out when you reboot.

    You seem to have 2 separate issues.

    1. files lost between boots (see my answer above)
    2. cannot access sdcard

    In relation to 1, you can likely fix the issue by performing a factory reset. Since you are using an Omega2S I hope you implemented the switch correctly. Otherwise you can run firstboot -y

    1. Please check the reference schematic and check you have implemented the design correctly. You can find the schematic here:

  • @evelina You should separate your issues.
    You have an Onion2S+ module on your custom board, your firmware is v0-3-2 b239.

    Your filesystem is corrupted.
    These are the outputs of a few commands of a well working Omega2+ with FW v0-3-2 b239:

    (without an inserted SD card) try to perform a Factory Reset.


    Otherwise - without an iserted SD card - please reinstall your b239 firmware. For example:
    cd /tmp
    wget http://repo.onioniot.com.s3.amazonaws.com/omega2/images/omega2p-v0.3.2-b239.bin

    Check the downloaded file:
    md5sum omega2p-v0.3.2-b233.bin
    45d6b0be4eb3fb4a0396f417c087d838 omega2p-v0.3.2-b239.bin

    sysupgrade -n omega2p-v0.3.2-b239.bin

    Repeat the First Time Setup again please.


    You can install the b233 (the stable ?!) or the b244 (the latest) image instead of b239 of course:

    wget http://repo.onioniot.com.s3.amazonaws.com/omega2/images/omega2p-v0.3.2-b233.bin
    md5sum omega2p-v0.3.2-b233.bin
    9616a502010ddd4793dbd5b31499b3e3 omega2p-v0.3.2-b233.bin
    sysupgrade -n omega2p-v0.3.2-b233.bin

    wget http://repo.onioniot.com.s3.amazonaws.com/omega2/images/omega2p-v0.3.2-b244.bin
    md5sum omega2p-v0.3.2-b244.bin
    d990a68d131a635985adb60861cabca1 omega2p-v0.3.2-b244.bin
    sysupgrade -n omega2p-v0.3.2-b244.bin

    Good luck.



  • @evelina :
    Yes. This is what I see on an Omega2, that does not even have the SD drive, which is pointing that, Omega you have also does not see the drive.

    I would think, it sees the SD_xx pins (shown as 53-60) in the PDF, page 12:
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OnionIoT/Omega2/master/Documents/Omega2S Datasheet.pdf as open even when a card is inserted.

    @crispyoz :

    Why would the df -ht reports:

    overlayfs:/tmp/root overlay .... /
    in @evelina's case ?

    The default seems to be, like:
    overlayfs:/overlay overlay .... /
    is this because of a mistake in the configuration file ?



  • Friends, have you noticed the message in the first posted image warning about a CRC problem and use of default environment?

    I'm attaching the image with a red arrow pointing to the message. Maybe that's the root cause of all problems in this thread...
