Test Environment
System Information
- System Version: Slackware 15
- Download Link: http://dl.slarm64.org/slackware/images/lichee_pi_4a/
- Reference Installation Document: http://dl.slarm64.org/slackware/images/lichee_pi_4a/README.TXT
Hardware Information
- Lichee Pi 4A (8GB RAM + 32GB eMMC)
- Power Adapter
- A USB to UART Debugger
Flashing Bootloader
Enter fastboot mode.
- Press BOOT while powering on.
- (Refer to the official tutorial) Use the fastboot command to flash u-boot.
sudo fastboot flash ram boot/u-boot-with-spl.bin
sudo fastboot reboot
sleep 10
sudo fastboot flash uboot boot/u-boot-with-spl.bin
Flashing Image
Use zstd
to decompress the image.
Use dd
to flash the MicroSD card.
zstd -d slarm64-current-riscv64-core-lichee_pi_4a-5.10.113-build-20230704.img
dd if=slarm64-current-riscv64-core-lichee_pi_4a-5.10.113-build-20230704.img of=/path/to/device bs=1M
Logging into the System
Logging into the system via the serial port.
On initial startup, you will be prompted to set up the root password and create a user.
To transfer a system with the SD to eMMC, run the script: transfer-to-disk
Expected Results
The system should boot normally and allow login via the onboard serial port.
Actual Results
The system booted successfully and login via the onboard serial port was also successful.
