Pieter Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Hi, I'm trying to install Armbian 5.20 vanilla kernel to eMMC on my Opi PC+. After nand-sata-install finishes I shutdown the Opi PC+ and power it back on. At least, I enable the power, I don't see anything happening in minicom on my pc. Only when powering it with a microsd in the slot (with armbian) will the uboot show in minicom on my pc. Doing a nand-sata-install with 5.14 legacy worked. What am I doing wrong (especially seeing nothing after a reboot with my ttl-to-usb connected is a bit strange for this noob)?
martinayotte Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 It seems that there is a bug with improper path while trying to copy the u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin into the eMMC. The workaround for now is booting from your sdcard and writing the u-boot manually : dd if=/usr/lib/linux-u-boot-dev-orangepipcplus_5.20_armhf/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=1024 seek=8 Then reboot without sdcard, it should work. 1
StaLeWaR Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 by the way, I wanted to know - what load faster with emmc or sdcard? there is a difference?
Igor Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 by the way, I wanted to know - what load faster with emmc or sdcard? there is a difference? eMMC is faster in all cases. Check background with some tests: http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/954-sd-card-performance/ 1
StaLeWaR Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 @Igor Thank you for your link. Probably the best option eMMC
Pieter Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 @martinayotte, That worked! Thanks :-)
