imx8mq boot error

[edward_fu]

Hi experts,

I customized an imx8mq board using DDR4 not LPDDR4. And I am porting Android 11 on my board based on imx8mq_evk. 

But I encounted a boot error, the error message is below:

avb_slot_verify.c:133: ERROR: vendor_boot_a: Error loading data from partition.
verify FAIL, state: LOCK

Actually in my GPT partition table there is no vendor_oot partition, why avb needs to validate vendor_boot partition.

How to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

>> why avb needs to validate vendor_boot partition

This is determined by the android avb mechanism.

You can also disable avb feature in BoardConfig.mk, like below:

BOARD_AVB_ENABLE := false
BOARD_BUILD_DISABLED_VBMETAIMAGE := true

Try it, please!

Have a good day!

Hi,

Actually I have tried before, but there is no function.

Now I know why this issue occurs. Because in Android 11 avb verify must have vendor_boot partion, it means must use xxab_super.bpt.
