[RAUC] Issues when executing rauc ,while booting from usb

[Abhishek Kumar Rai]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3844 bytes --]

Hi Team,


I am working on boot from a USB flash drive and try to flash the data
(rfs/appfs) to MMC partitions using RAUC. I am  currently facing some
issues on the same. The same scenario works well when we boot from NFS and
try to flash the data to MMC partitions.


By attempting to boot from a flash drive partition that has RAUC and trying
to install the bundle to MMC are we trying to do something that RAUC
supports or are we missing something?


Please find the related logs for USB flash drive based RAUC installation
attempt below

this all shows the same issue, RAUC cannot resolve the /dev/disk/by-partuuid/00000000-01 symlink
to the actual device. What does

   ls -la /dev/disk/by-partuuid/00000000-01

give you?

What RAUC tries is pretty much the same as

   realpath /dev/disk/by-partuuid/00000000-01

does this work calling manually? Maybe it's an issue that you do not have a disk ID set.


Best regards, Enrico

Hi Enrico,

Thanks for your prompt reply.


For us the 'realpath' command is working fine. The devices do exist at the
respective location. Below are the logs from our end for the post-boot
scenario and the bootargs. It seems RAUC is trying to look for device '
00000000-01' whereas the actual device is '1b325bba-01'. Is there a way we
can configure RAUC in userspace to look for device 1b32bba-01 in place of
00000000-01?

In USB boot, PARTUUID is 00000000 and realpath won't work for this. You need to set a valid disk id in your USB MBR in order to make this work.

Your logs show that there are definitely no /dev/disk/by-partuuid-symlinks for the USB stick (and thus that realpath does not work for USB; as you can see there are only mmc-symlinks).
Of course your eMMC is still fine, but you do not boot from it.

Yes, RAUC needs to detect where it is booted from to operate safely.

One option is to obtain this info from the root= by finding the appropriate root device.
Another (actually the preferred) option of identifying the booted device in RAUC is to pass this information explictily from the bootloader via kernel command line arg 'rauc.slot=<bootname>'.

Ok, this works fine as expected :)
