IMX8MP DDR4 Custom board :: You are in emergency mode.

Bhardwaj

Hi ,

I am using an i.MX8M Plus DDR4 custom board. I am loading Image.gz, DTB, and rootfs (cpio.gz) from the SD card into DDR, and then booting the kernel and root filesystem from DDR.

After loading the root filesystem, I am seeing the following message:

You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" for details.
Press Enter for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):
[ 12.946854] random: crng init done.

I have attached the complete boot log for your reference.

Below are the U-Boot commands I am using to load the images from the SD card to DDR:

================== Load from SD card to DDR ==================

fatload mmc ${mmcdev}:1 ${loadaddr} Image.gz
fatload mmc ${mmcdev}:1 ${fdt_addr} imx8mp-ddr4-evk.dtb
fatload mmc ${mmcdev}:1 ${initrd_addr} cpio.gz

setenv bootargs console=${console},${baudrate} earlycon=${earlycon},${baudrate} rdinit=/sbin/init

booti ${loadaddr} ${initrd_addr} ${fdt_addr}

==============================================================

My questions are:

How can I get a normal root login prompt like: root@imx8mp-ddr4-evk:~
Is there any recommended change required in the bootargs to avoid entering emergency mode?

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Bhardwaj.
