the main difference is that it does not create a tangible partition

hmm for me cgpt refuses
<Ke>
also fdisk
<Ke>
maybe I'll try cgdisk
<samueldr>
note that I tested using a file
<samueldr>
maybe they do things differently on a block device?
<Ke>
perhaps
<samueldr>
cgpt refused how? (what was the error?)
<Ke>
I got nadias u-boot booting itself, but it hangd on starting kernel
<Ke>
I think it was something like illegal value
<Ke>
fdisk was definitely value out of range
<samueldr>
odd, I don't see how that's related to cgpt refusing?
<samueldr>
ah
<samueldr>
sorry
<samueldr>
I understand
<samueldr>
the two sentences were unrelated
<samueldr>
as far as hanging at "starting kernel...", it may be because of that patch that is required for Linux (if it is still required)
<samueldr>
though hanging at "starting kernel..." can be a lot of issues
<samueldr>
it's basically the last thing u-boot says before booting something
<samueldr>
I could look into that... but really for the PBP I don't see any use because I much rather write u-boot to the SPI flash
<samueldr>
and AFAIK most RK3399 platforms have an SPI Flash (yay!)
<samueldr>
really with the PBP there's not much difference in recovering a bad SPI flash and bad eMMC flash in my experience
<samueldr>
the exact thing you need to do differs (short SPI chip vs. disable eMMC), but they both require the same annoying process of dismantling the PBP

can't make nadia's u-boot boot anything
<Ke>
could obviously try extracting it from arch images
<Ke>
sway works for me on linux-5.11.2 also on pbp
<ar>
u-can't-boot? ;)
<ar>
i'll see myself out
<Ke>
Yeeaaahh!!
<Ke>
nadia's build unexplainably works
<Ke>
maybe it's the config that's different or then it's the build env

colemickens: I've tried to build it one more time from your repo using flakes. It creates a new generation, but it fails to boot into it. It fails with message ERROR: RD image overlaps OS image. Photo with booting process log: https://imgur.com/a/zVT8JhJ . I found, that you have also experienced this in December 2020. But I am not able to find a solution.

adamzivcak: the other suggestion I have is to check the version of firmware you have flashed on it.
<colemickens>
adamzivcak1: otherwise if you're using my `nixpkgs` and my config, I can't really explain why it wouldn't be working (unless you have a different SKU and its related to that)
<colemickens>
I'll probably bump to 2021-02-16 release that was marked stable soon though.
<adamzivcak1>
Oh, that should be the thing. I have 2020-09-03.
<colemickens>
also, if you want, you can just drop all of my u-boot stuff and use the regular boring rpi bootloader method and use the rpi4 kernel, there's probably less hoops involved.
