sorry for my mistake

---------------------------------------------

Hi,ALL:

I want to update debian’s kernel to 5.10+ for intel ax210 wireless card.

According to the article below, I did and failed.

https://jensd.be/968/linux/install-a-newer-kernel-in-debian-10-buster-stable

root@linaro-alip:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 15G 2.7G 11G 20% / devtmpfs 1.9G 8.0K 1.9G 1% /dev tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.9G 8.7M 1.9G 1% /run tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk1p7 4.9M 374K 4.3M 8% /boot tmpfs 385M 0 385M 0% /run/user/0 tmpfs 385M 12K 385M 1% /run/user/1000

there is not enough space for update kernel in /boot or /dev/mmcblk1p7

I rebuild the boot image with follow patch:

diff --git a/include/configs/rockchip-common.h b/include/configs/rockchip-common.h index 4103342d42..63be6cddcc 100644 --- a/include/configs/rockchip-common.h +++ b/include/configs/rockchip-common.h @@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ "name=loader1,start=32K,size=4000K,uuid=${uuid_gpt_loader1};" \ "name=loader2,start=8MB,size=4MB,uuid=${uuid_gpt_loader2};" \ "name=trust,size=4M,uuid=${uuid_gpt_atf};" \ - "name=boot,size=112M,bootable,uuid=${uuid_gpt_boot};" \ + "name=boot,size=512M,bootable,uuid=${uuid_gpt_boot};" \ "name=rootfs,size=-,uuid="ROOT_UUID

and,I update the boot 

dd if=uboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk1p1

everything is fine, and size of boot is changed. 

When the device restarts, everything resumes as before。

I am in trouble

Hi @tooz

not work. 

Does balenaEtcher modify the boot when it burns the image?

Here is the operation process：

• sudo dd if=uboot.img of=/dev/mmcblk1p4 status=progress && sync
• burns the image by balenaEtcher
• reboot

hello @serial115200, 

the commmand is used for boot.img update.

sudo dd if=boot.img of=/dev/mmcblk1p4 status=progress && sync

you'll have to build your own .img file if you'd like to resize the partition.

hi @tooz

you mean that i have to build the debian image for resize the partition. I will try to do it.

Are there any plans to release debian 11?

thanks
