Please find below kernel command line arguments
Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 root=/dev/disk/by-label/writable rng_core.default_quality=700 net.ifnames=0 init=/lib/systemd/systemd ro panic=-1 fixrtc snap_core=core_2331.snap snap_kernel=olimex-a20-olinuxino-lime2-linux_x1.snap
This problem (system stuck at “initrd: mounting /run” state) after reset is coming frequently. I have connected via serial USB cable through UART0 interface.
well, if you do not have a monitor attached, try dropping the console=tty0 option, then all console output shold stay on serial even after switching to userspace …
Hello Ogra, First of all thank you for your support that made me to develop the core image for Olimex Lime 2 platform boards. As per your suggestions we modified u-boot source code to a) Support raw initrd image b) To boot from micro-SD card Hope I am correct here.
Now I am trying to build a self programming core image for Olimex platform boards which will initially load from SD card and then self programs will run and flash the image into eMMC so that after reset system shall boot from programmed image and SD card can be use for other purpose.
Query : a) Do we have any self program (any script file) supported that will program the core image (uboot image + uboot environment + kernel image) into eMMC for first time when system comes up? b) Assuming we have a self program that will program the image (uboot image + uboot environment + kernel image) into eMMC. As we have modified u-boot image to boot from SD card . So is the same modified u-boot image shall work when system shall try to boot from eMMC?
Appreciate your support here.
I think @ondra can help out here, he added a similar install feature to our dragonboard gadget snap via:
it requires to build (and ship) two different u-boot binaries and some scripting in uboot.env.in
Hello Ogra,
Thanks for your support here. I tried to follow the design here as mentioned in above link. I did changes in gadget snap and shipped two boot-loader images. Now initially system came up with core image present in SD card.
I followed below steps after that: a) Copied the eMMC boat-loader image in eMMC at offset : 8192 b) Created two partitions in eMMC and copy the content of SD card partitions into corresponding partitions in eMMC (i.e. /dev/mmcblk0p1 → /dev/mmcblk1p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2 → /dev/mmcblk1p2 ; /dev/mmcblk0 is SD card and /dev/mmcblk1 is eMMC) c) Removed the SD card and reset the system
After reset the system was able to load boad-loader that was copied in eMMC from SD card and able to run under new environment. It was able to load kernel, init-ramdisk and fdt image from boot partition in eMMC. After Uncompressing Linux and booting kernel it got stuck before starting initrd image. Please find below the snippet of console logs of non working case.

Requesting you to provide any pointers here. It seems it is getting stuck in ubuntu_core_roots script.
Try using only the serial console arg on your kernel cmdline (drop “console=tty0”), so the initrd scripts output to your serial port (else you fly blind) …
Did you make sure the writable partition you created on the eMMC actually has a proper label ? the script looks for the “writable” and “snappy-boot” labels, both need to exist on the target partitions.
I tried with serial console arg option and found that local-premount script was unable to find “writable” partition.

Appreciate your support here
hmm, does your kernel have full support for the eMMC … ?
the initrd should give you a shell after the error, if you manually run:
findfs LABEL=writable
does it find anything … also, is there anything in /dev/disk/by-label at that point ?
I am currently checking for that eMMC support in kernel.
After the error I entered into shell provided by initrd. When I manually run the above command then I got the error message:
(initramfs) findfs LABEL=writable findfs: unable to resolve ‘LABEL=writable’ (initramfs)
At this point there is no disk directory in /dev folder. I tried to find /dev/mmcblk1 in that shell but I am not able to find that. What could be possible reason for that? Appreciate your support here.
Well, as i wrote earlier, it is likely that your eMMC support lives in a module that you do not have in the initrd, just compiling the eMMC support into the kernel would be the fastest fix here … or alternatively if your kernel snap uses the snapcraft kernel plugin you can add it to the initramfs-modules stanza in snapcraft.yaml
Thanks Ogra for your support
I enabled eMMC support in kernel image then after that system was able to boot up from eMMC. Snap applications are working fine.
I will definitely let you know of my further findings/observations.
@ArunMakkar, were you able to resolve this through changing the snapcraft.yaml kernel? I seem to be getting the exact same issue. How did you enable eMMC?
