I have purchased an Omnia Turris during the campaign.
After this I have used the device for a few months without incident.
I received a different device and used that for the past years.
Now I want to use the Omnia Turris again because it offers SFP for which I have a usecase.
The trouble is, my Omnia Turris doesn’t seem to properly boot/work anymore.
After a lot of research, troubleshooting, searching the forums and all other places of the web I came to the following conclusions:
uBoot is working with the following build: U-Boot 2015.10-rc2 (Mar 06 2019 - 14:44:41 +0100), Build: jenkins-omnia-test-228
The rescue environment is still accessible.
Booting “normally” will give the following output, followed by a reboot:
Kernel image @ 0x1000000 [ 0x000000 - 0x689b30 ]
## Flattened Device Tree blob at 02000000
Booting using the fdt blob at 0x2000000
Loading Device Tree to 0fff8000, end 0ffff29a ... OK

When performing a factory reset the device gives the following output:

I attempted to create a bootable USB following the guide found here:
https://doc.turris.cz/doc/en/howto/omnia_booting_from_external_storage
Booting from external and removable storage [Project: Turris]
Alas, I was unable to boot from the USB as uBoot never even detected is and gives the following output:
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
Setting bus to 1
BOOT eMMC FS
starting USB...
USB0: USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
** Bad device usb 0 **
** Bad device usb 0 **
At this point in time I’m completely out of ideas, and honestly a little out of my depth.
Could you please help me get my Omnia Turris back up and running?
I would prefer using the internal eMMC, but if that happens to be the issue and is broken, I will settle for a usb drive boot.
