Standby - Suspend to RAM (MNT Reform)

[josch]

Thanks to that bug I realized that your u-boot-menu version is higher than mine and thus I didn’t see what problem the etc scripts could possibly invoke as in my version (bookworm) they only contain the snippet i posted above. Your version introduced a bunch more stuff. I left a comment in that bug with a link to the MR which hopefully fixes this. Thanks!

I don’t think it’s the nvme drive. I tested four different drives from four different vendors (see the other threat) including the trancend drive that comes with the reform and they all exhibited the exact same behaviour. I even upgraded my mainboard from 2.0 to 2.5 and still the same. I don’t think it’s the nvme drive or the mainboard. It is likely the imx8mq som itself.

It is likely the imx8mq som itself.

Just weird how it is not consistent across imx8’s.

My first imx8mq had one broken serial pin. From the start it didn’t work and is just broken. So i sent it back and got another working imx8mq from MNT. When manufacturing these boards, they are never 100% identical and sometimes little changes make the board buggy. That’s why MNT tests the hardware they receive from the factory before shipping them to customers because it is not a given that all boards they receive work fine.

Another example: for LS1028A there was a problem that made some of them (mine works for example) not boot. See here for details:

This affected only some of the boards MNT received due to differences in manufacturing. It is not unlikely a similar problem with suspend on imx8mq.

I agree - this week I received A311D and it was able to recognize Samsung 970 Pro, which was not seen by iMX8.
Would it suggest than entire thread

Confirmed Working NVME Drives

Hi, I was wondering if we could build up a list of nvme drives that are confirmed working with the MNT Reform currently? I remember seeing in an earlier thread that the Samsung 970 Evo was not working (which is a shame as that was my first pick, or the newly released and cheaper 980). But I’m wondering which drives people have paired so far with their DIY machines, or ones without an included SSD, as well as ones that have been shipped with them. While patiently awaiting my DIY kit to ship, I w…

does not make much sense now? in such a case.

I imagine there’s still a fair number of people out there with the IM8MQ (not sure if the issues also affected the IM8MP) boards in there reform so the thread is still useful from a legacy sense. Though it’s likely not an issue for people using the newer CPU modules.
