Can not boot

The serial numbers of them are:
85070VKHG07A
1356XX05229X

Sorry, it looks like you have a TF card compatibility issue.

Hi,

So what brands and models of tf cards are recommended now? I can’t wait to boot it now hahaha

You can try it with a Samsung card(16G or more).
We rarely encounter compatibility issues with SanDisk cards. :grimacing:

OK, I’ll purchase a Samsung card recently. And will an update of bootloader in the future fixes this issue?

The recommend card reference:https://forum.rvspace.org/t/visionfive-faq/127

@darkgeek based on your log, it seems the card is not detected under u-boot. would you please double check whether the card is inserted. unlike raspberry pi, the TF card slot of VisionFive has a self-locking function and you need to press it to the bottom.

Till now, we only find the same issue on Kingston 64GB TF card.

Hi,

I’m sure the card is inserted to the bottom, I do “feel” the self-locking when inserting.:grinning:

That’s how I insert the card:

I’m back. Tried a Samsung TF card (EVO Plus 64G A1 V10) and still no go, same issue, what a pity. I’m afraid that maybe there’s something wrong with card reader/controller on the board…

@Michael.Zhu @julie

could you please try mmc info in u-boot command line?

Are you in china now? I’ll send you an email。

hi, I’m in China. You could contact me via darkgeekyang AT foxmail DOT com. Any help is appreciated.:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

We will contact you via email.

Hello! Same issue here. Tried 3 cards:

Kingston SDC10/8GB N0538-002.A02LF
Samsung 16G (Serial number covered by sticker, sorry, it’s a C10 microSDHC card)
Samsung Evo Plus 128G UHS3 card MBMCDGVGQAFW-T

Here is the boot log:

Faulty controller in the same batch maybe? @Michael.Zhu @julie

Kingston SDC10/8GB capacity is too small to flash fedora image, we recommend at least 16G TF card.
Can you take a picture of two Samsung TF cards(front and back)?

I understand the 8GB is too small, just wanted to test whether it can be detected or not. These cards can’t be detected at all.

As for the images, I can not get my images to upload at all. One of them is 1MB and another is 800KB. Do you have emails so I can send them that way?

Please send email to sales at starfivetech dot com.

I have had the same problem, with a new VisionFive… I tried Samsung EVO 128GB U3, Samsung PRO 64GB U1, and Samsung EVO 32GB U1 cards, and none were recognised.
Samsung are on the ‘supported’ list mentioned elsewhere…

We will contact you via email.
