BBB-Wireless Upgrade to Bullseye

General Discussion
1

Let me know if you want me to move this to its own thread.

I ran into a problem corrupting the eemc on BBB-Wireless working through upgrading to blaster.

I updated /etc/apt/sources.list as recommended above, then apt update → apt upgrade.

I input yes to the 2 questions asking if I wanted to update to the new distribution files. Everything seemed fine.

I then ran apt autoremove which was recommended earlier in the upgrade process and the BBB froze up.

Upon restart the power, WL & BT leds came on, but nothing on the USR leds.

I backed up & reinstalled the 4.19.94-ti-r42 flasher image and that restored everything, but upon trying to update and upgrade that with latest buster I get the corruption again. During the upgrade using cloud9 I am getting an error “Failed to write state settings” flshing quickly and disappearing.

After the update the system does start, but the USR leds are dead.

I redid the whole process using VScode remote explorer. Nothing on problems screen, nothing on output.

Upon reboot the USR leds are not functioning. Update doesn’t produce anything upgradable except c9-core-installer which doesn’t get upgraded.

I went on and updated /opt/script/tools and updated the kernel to 4.19.94-ti-r64

You can see problems with LEDs related to pinctrl in the version output shown in the uname_dogtag_version.txt uploaded file which is taken after updating, upgrading, and upgrading kernel.

Did I break it? Is there something I can do to fix it?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Much Thanks,

Pat

Hi @Patrick_Bolton did you do this on the 4GB eMMC?

What corruption are you seeing? i don’t see anything in the logs…

cloud9 is eol, there will not be a bullseye build…

I am just not seeing the usr leds working at all. On other posts this was indicated as a corruption problem. Perhaps I jumped the gun on that conclusion.

The board is booting and accessible the usr leds are all off and not their usual functions.

I can use vscode instead of cloud9. I did use cloud9 initially.

Best, Pat

Oh, looks like an mixup between kernel and overlays:

dmesg | grep pinctrl-single

It’s looking for A15 pinmux, we need to just remove that pin… it needs to be set, but not set by any overlay…

Hi robert,
Is it fixed ? I have same issue on my BBBW. Or, Is there any solution ?

I encountered the same problem, put me on a wrong footing. I though the BBBW had died. After connecting a TTL-USB cable to the serial console I found the same error.

Would be nice to find out how to fix this. Is it kernel stuff, or should we do something else?

Kind Regards,
Johan

it was a kernel and overlay mixup…

On bullsye please run:

sudo beagle-version

and report what it output’s for debugging…

Oops. was Buster.

Still, beagle-version was available.
