Please try “ls usb 1:1“ and “ fatload usb 1:1“.

But I see that VOID_BOOT includes the 5020 version. Should I use that instead, if I ever figure out how to address it?
Yes, please use the 5020 version.

You can load it with the following command.

Code: Select all

X5000> fatload usb 1:1 1c00000 cyrus_p5020.dtb

The following message can be mostly ignored. After posting it I decided to restart the machine and try to boot the hard drive version. It worked! I am typing from Arctic Fox in Void at this moment! Thank you Christian.

I immediately tried ls usb 1:1 and fatload usb 1:1 in the boot commands. Wonderful! I had a lot of other stuff to do so I only played around with Void a few minutes, but now wish I had continued a little longer before heading back to fienix.

In fienix I used the command you gave to dd the usb drive content to my hard drive. That seems to have been successful. I can mount both versions of void from fienix's Home, and the results look exactly the same. GParted shows both, but slightly different in size. /dev/sda8 is 7.21 GiB (7%) Used while the usb version is 7.26 GiB with 5.73 GiB Used. This is all looking from fienix right now.

The bad news is ls usb 1:1 in U-Boot now gives me something like ** usb 1 is bad **. Terrible! I have no idea what to try next. (I ran usb reset several times to give it a chance to find the drive.)

That means "ls usb 1:1" works.

FYI: After a "usb reset" you can see if U-Boot has found a storage (Output: scanning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found).

No, that only means that ext4load mmc 0:1 1000000 uImage-5.15 works. ls usb 1:1 still gives me ** Bad device usb 1 **.

I always get "1 Storage Device(s) found" when I do a usb reset with my void usb unplugged.

Kilaueabart,

How many USB sticks have you plugged in?

Thanks,
Christian

I think I normally have only one USB storage device plugged in. (It accounts for three Places in the Places list.)

I wanted to check with GParted, but I'm in Void right now and it doesn't seem to have GParted. I'm going to have to learn a lot before I can put this Void to good use, but I really like Eolie since discovering yesterday that it can read Japanese to the screen (Arctic Fox and InterWeb just print squares of nothing). But Eolie won't let me log on to Hyperion, claiming bad password!

Sorry, I will add GParted to the next img. Thank you for the hint! :-)

You can install GParted with the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo xbps-install gparted

I was apparently able to install GParted, but I have no idea where to find it.

Another issue. I started out with Eolie this morning. Tried to download the 5.16 kernel but when I clicked on the link, Eolie vanished from the screen. I restarted it, logged into Hyperion again (apparently no bookmarks or password memory in Eolie!?), clicked the 5.16 download link, and Eolie vanished again. So here I am on InterWeb.

You can find it in the menu "Applications" - "System Tools".
