There seem to be a bunch of filesystem corruption errors. What CPU module are you using? What image did you download? Which steps did you perform?

using the second batch reform. downloaded the readymade imx8mq imaging file. used balenaetcher to transfer the file to the sd. used the instructions available in the manual and on github to boot.

in the past i transitioned the boot files to the nvme. it worked for awhile, upon reimaging, no go.

i have tried booting with the switch on the cpu in both “on” and “off” modes. there seems to be little difference. this makes me think i just need to reupload the image file to a new sd card and try again.

@ktscn4477

downloaded the readymade imx8mq imaging file

From where? The source.mnt.re gitlab CI artifacts?

@ktscn4477

used balenaetcher to transfer the file to the sd

I have not heard of somebody using that software to flash the image before but I guess it should work just the same?

@ktscn4477

used the instructions available in the manual and on github to boot

Which instructions are on github?

Using reform-migrate or reform-setup-encrypted-nvme or manually?

The DIP switch only toggles where the SoM reads u-boot from. If both your eMMC and your SD-card have the latest u-boot, then the DIP switch position should not make a difference.

1. yes, from “source.mnt.re gitlab CI artifacts.”

2. I have used the software in the past and it has given me no issues.

3. *gitlab not github

4. i used “reform-migrate”

i simply reimaged the computer. thank you for your help, i’m guessing i must’ve downloaded an incompatible image file to the sd card <3.
