ESPRESSOBin V5 Non-eMMC Frozen on 21.02 Stable Release

I can't get the new version to install with sysupgrade. I've tried both the stock image and also mine from the imagebuilder, which is how I normally do it.

I'm running off SD card using the ext4 image (as I always have).

When I test the new image I get

root@router:/tmp# sysupgrade -T openwrt-21.02.0-mvebu-cortexa53-globalscale_espressobin-ext4-sdcard.img.gz 
Reading partition table from bootdisk...
Invalid partition table on /dev/mmcblk0p2

known issue: still unresolved : [Solved] 19.07.xx own build unflashable

Hmm I can't even reinstall 19.07.8 now. It seems to be something to do with the U-Boot upgrade. I think it is trying to look at /dev/mmcblk0p2 as the target device but it should be /dev/mmcblk0.

/proc/cmdline now says:

root=PARTUUID=00000000-02 rw rootwait console=ttyMV0,115200 earlycon=ar3700_uart,0xd0012000

and looking at the behaviour of validate_firmware in sh -x, it's not finding the right partition.

modify your env for setting bootcmd as this :

You may also prefer load and use the boot.scr.

It is better to use boot.scr with the default env values !
