NanoPi 2 Fire not bootable since DietPi v8.4

[NewbieOrange]

Hi,

Since v8.4 my old NanoPi 2 Fire is no longer bootable, the board is probably an older revision since the kernel 4.4 official firmware is not working too, due to the incorrect dtb file used.

I compiled the dts from friendlyarm/linux#4, and my board boots successfully with all functions working properly.

Maybe DietPi can include the dtb for older revision boards?

Here is the dtb for everyone with the same board: s5p4418-nanopi2-rev05.zip

Ah nice, many thanks for compiling it. So the bootloader picked it automatically, right?

Nope, the bootloader won't pick it up automatically (for NanoPi 2 Fire anyway, don't have M2), but user can probably interrupt the boot process and enter the following commands to change it (or simply replace the rev04 dtb file on PC).

setenv dtb_file s5p4418-nanopi2-rev05.dtb
saveenv

Ah okay. I'll have a look, probably it works when changing the U-Boot environment.
