Actual snapshot build complains about wrong version in luci

[Gotthard]

Hello,

I´m using my self built image on Bananapi R3.
Today I ran the make process again
I had trouble with fitblk (error 2, missing files somewhere), so I needed to delete ./feeds/packages/utils/fitblk/
After this the build process compiled my image and I could upload the sysupgrade. I was surprised, as LuCi reports about incompatible image.

I´m able to update without keeping config, but I´m concerned about "Force upgrade". Is it safe to continue with this button checked?

root@bananapi:/tmp# ubus call system board
{
        "kernel": "6.1.74",
        "hostname": "bananapi.lan",
        "system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 4",
        "model": "Bananapi BPI-R3",
        "board_name": "bananapi,bpi-r3",
        "rootfs_type": "squashfs",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "SNAPSHOT",
                "revision": "r25104-f0e732f488",
                "target": "mediatek/filogic",
                "description": "OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r25104-f0e732f488"
        }
}

Thx in advance
Go

Hi

thx for fast answer.

make menuconfig shows the correct target system/subtarget also as profile.
So I´m sure, the image is correct. I´m only fear about the "force upgrade" switch, ​I thought deactivating the other checkbox would be enough.
The image contains openvpn, samba4 and minidlna. This could explain the size.

With regards

I'm guessing you didn't review the message?

The error states:

SPI-NAND flash layout changes require bootloader update

You may need to review Step No, 4 listed under the "supported Versions" section here: https://openwrt.org/toh/sinovoip/bananapi_bpi_r3_v1.0_v1.1#supported_versions

Hope this helps.

Hi,
that´s a misleading message

You may need to review Step No, 4 listed under the "supported Versions" section here: https://openwrt.org/toh/sinovoip/bananapi_bpi_r3_v1.0_v1.1#supported_versions

I´m booting from emmc and the sysupgrade will be written to emmc. NAND memory is not involved in my setup. But the message contains some about bootloader, this was my concern.
And no, the hardware board revision will not change by itself. As far as I know, board version 1.2 isn´t available on the market.

Anyway, I have checked the box "Force upgrade" and all went fine. Because I have included my config in my build, I didn´t have additional efforts to restore the settings.
