Dear all,

 

thanks for the work of you, to provide us with the Armbian Images for our arm-based boards.

 

BUt i've a small issue, starting the last Image for Odroid XU4. If I write the Image to a SD-Card and start the XU4, all Things run well. When I write the Image to my eMMC-Card (original Hardkernel, 64GB), the XU4 doesn't start.

 

Normally, it's not such a big Problem, but there is a massive speedup, using eMMC with XU4.

 

How can I get Armbian startet, installed on an eMMC?

 

Many thanks for your Support,

 

Burkhard

Can you perhaps provide serial console boot log? Unfortunately I don't have any eMMC for XU4 around.

 

Are you trying to boot mainline kernel 4.x ?

Hi,

 

I've tried Legacy 3.10.104 (Debian Jessie & Ubuntu)  and also mainline 4.9.7 Ubuntu). 

Tried to start with connected HDMI-Monitor and mouse/keyboard. Not via SSH or something else. If I put the eMMC in, the screen doesn't show anything. Nothing happens with the XU4.

With SD-card, anything runs well.

 

Older Images are running from eMMC without any problems.

As far as I know on XU4 eMMC u-boot is stored in the boot partition and default environment requires FAT partition to boot from. So it needs to be handled by nand-sata-install: other update u-boot in the hidden boot partition or use FAT boot partition when installing on eMMC.

HI,

 

thanks for that Info. I'm wondering, because Jessie-Image: Armbian_5.14_Odroidxu4_Debian_jessie_3.10.102 is running perfectly on my eMMC, without any modifications. The problems are completely new since Version: Armbian_5.25_Odroidxu4_Debian_jessie_default_3.10.104.

 

What are the differences between these two versions?

Hi,

 

okay, so far, it's clear. But am I wrong: If I write the Armbian Image to an eMMC, there I found a FAT boot-partition. If that cannot run on XU4 with eMMC, how to install the nand-sata-install?

 

I looked at the Github from Igor Pecnovik for the nand-sata-install.sh. But at the moment, this is a closed book to me.  :wacko:

 

I've forgott to say, I'm really a newbie on working with Linux and Odroids  :(. What I want, a running Armbian with installed OMV 3.0.xx. BEfore, I used a RasPi 3, but I want to have the extras of USB3 and GB-Lan. For That reason, at the moment, there is only an Odroid XU4.

Posted

nand-sata-install script is present on the system. Just open a terminal and type. You have to boot from SD card and have eMMC present. Unfortunately this scenario is untested by me so I don't know it it 100% works. It should.

I don't have this board, but judging by the Hardkernel Wiki Odroid with eMMC can still boot from SD and boot priority should be selectable with a special switch. So the idea is - boot from SD and use nand-sata-install to write the system to the eMMC. Unfortunately this double partition scenario is not currently implemented (other Odroid board like C0, C1, C2 don't need this) so currently your easy options are running the system from SD or using nand-sata-install to start from SD but have the system on the eMMC. Or just use an older release.

I guess this is the reason why my XU4 stopped working suddenly (using legacy kernel). Have been running it for long time with no problems, but after updating the kernel yesterday my XU4 server does not boot anymore. Also using original 64GB eMMC from Hardkernel.

 

Board lights up the red led and fan starts spinning, but the display port does not give any output (HDMI).

I guess you also doesn't have serial console? We would really like to fix this, instead going back to older schema.

Those changes should not affect upgrades on existing images anyway.

I confirm, there is a big issue with this update. I restarted my Odroid XU4 yesterday because it was asked to do so after logging on SSH. It isn't working anymore (no blinking blue led anymore).

I formatted everything on the eMMC card and installed the new ISO, but it doesn't boot.

Can you resolve this issue quickly because it is not very serious...

We can't start to resolve this:

 

- without any logs

or

- without possibility to reproduce and catch logs. I don't have eMMC card for XU4

Hi there.

Now I have this issue too. Today I had upgraded my system on XU4 from 5.22 to 5.25 and it stopped working.

 

 

We can't start to resolve this:
 

- without any logs

or

- without possibility to reproduce and catch logs. I don't have eMMC card for XU4

 

 

I have usb-uart and  i can catch logs for you. Any help wanted!

Hi New here . 

 

I tried doing the nand-sata-install from the SD card to the emmc and can confirm that it is currently not working.No console cable to post my startup sorry.

This does not look to be Armbian boot, at least no recent.

 

This is how it looks like on SD card:

Well, its nice to hear that it survive this much upgrade :) ... but we have a problem with recent build :( which is single EXT4 partition and we changed boot scripts, boot loader received one patch ...

Boot scripts are not upgraded, so older images should not be affected.

 

boot.ini command = setenv bootrootfs "console=tty1 loglevel=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait ro fsck.repair=yes"

I wonder if eMMC is not visible as /dev/mmcblk0 in some cases. Changing console output to serial also may help.

I don't know, maybe it because i burn this image through Etcher instead of dd?

As I said previously - on eMMC u-boot is stored in the hidden boot partition, it comes flashed on the eMMC by default and can be updated only with a special software or from system running on the board.
