Startup

System Startup Interrupted Due to "parse failed!" Error

Symptom

During system startup, the error message "[Init] InitReadCfg, parse failed! please check file /etc/init.cfg format." is displayed, and the startup is interrupted, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1 Error information

en-us_image_0000001200053087

Possible Cause

During modification of the init.cfg file, required commas (,) or parentheses are missing or unnecessary ones are added. As a result, the file's JSON format becomes invalid.

Solution

Check the init.cfg file and ensure that its format meets the JSON specifications.

System Restarted Repeatedly

Symptom

After the image burning is complete, the system restarts over and over again.

Possible Cause

Each service started by the init process has the importance attribute, as described in Table 3 in init Module.

  • If the attribute value is 0, the init process does not need to restart the development board when the current service process exits.

  • If the attribute value is 1, the init process needs to restart the development board when the current service process exits.

During the startup of a service whose importance is 1, if the service exits due to a process crash or an error, the init process automatically restarts the development board.

Solution

  1. View logs to identify the service that encounters a process crash or exits due to an error, rectify the issue, and then burn the image again.

  2. Alternatively, change the value of importance to 0 for the service that exits due to a process crash or an error, and then burn the image again. In this way, the development board will not be restarted even if the service exits.

SetParameter or GetParameter Failed with Correct Parameters Passed

Symptom

Calling SetParameter or GetParameter fails when correct parameters are passed.

Possible Cause

Permission verification has been enabled for SetParameter and GetParameter. If the UID of the caller is greater than 1000, that is, the caller does not have the API call permission, calling an API will fail even if correct parameters are passed.

Solution

No action is required.
