First try beta builds, to see if this is already fixed. armbian-config -> system -> switch to beta.

People reported eMMC corruption with some variants of eMMC when using 2017.11 and mainline kernel. There are some dirty hacks in old u-boot regarding eMMCs. Perhaps it's related.

Better. We are not very much familiar with Odrobian details so it's hard to say. In case of troubles ... you will need help from both sides or some dedicated person with a lot of time. I would say rather go with a clean build. Remarks. Mainline kernel works somehow but is not yet recommended for any production environment, while the standard kernel is updated at least to the hard kernel level. In any case, I would suggest waiting for next small bugfix update. There are some small things which need attention.

It should be fixed upstream - working for me, but it would be good if somebody else also checks. Related: https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/770

OK, It looks like it adds "guest" in front anyway It's done.

It can be done by admins only. After deleting, do you want your posts to remain associated with "HeinrichG" or by "Guest"?

Tritium added. I also add HDMI bits, tested only for building ... @Icenowy I didn't find your FEX so it's mainline only. It has to be added here: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/config/fex and add "default," in front of next https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/boards/tritium.csc#L12

We can help only with stable builds. Here, ... there are too many possible problems. In this case, you need to attach a serial console to see where it stops. But I would rather suggest you start and stay on stable builds until those mainline are not fully stable. If you want to use the mainline/modern kernel anyway, you have to be ready that sometimes you will need to rescue your system manually. It's simply not yet polished for end users. Add. There was a change in upstream network driver on all H3/H5/A64 boards a few weeks ago and it broke everything. I managed to fix H3/H5 while A64 remain broken.

Do it.

Neo Plus2 has enabled eMMC in u-boot config ... so rather that one.

Mainline support for H3 is not (labeled) stable yet. There was a regression in HDMI driver and your board should boot but without a display. If you build your own image, the display should also work.

To some degree, it should. None of us has this board yet so we can't be 100% sure, but if it doesn't ... it can be quickly adjusted. I would suggest trying Nanopi Air image instead.

This is not Armbian. We don't support 3rd party builds. Download image here: https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-plus-2e/ and after you boot it, you can flash it to eMMC as well.

We place notes if there are any repository updates to the: - www.armbian.com (the last update was 3.December) - twitter

Then better stay away from images made only for developers/testing and use stable builds. Automated nightly builds are made from the latest development sources and are not tested. Sometimes do work, sometimes don't.

I actually wrote the exact procedure Edit /etc/modules. Remove g_serial and add g_ether instead .... save and reboot. But remember, it's still only a theory. I haven't tested this.

Armbian uses g_serial by default with a modern kernel. With old, I lost track. I assume you only need to exchange it with g_ether? /etc/modules

No, fix hasn't reached stable repository yet. It only affects self-build images.

Fixed. Will update patches.

You are comparing Linux version 3.4.43+ (matson@ubt) and 3.4.113 and both boots well according to your log. I don't think its related. For me, without HDMI it dies this way: U-Boot SPL 2017.11-armbian (Dec 30 2017 - 21:25:48) DRAM: 1024 MiB CPU: 912000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2 Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2017.11-armbian (Dec 30 2017 - 21:25:48 +0100) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner A20 (SUN7I) Model: Olimex A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-eMMC I2C: ready DRAM: 1 GiB MMC: SUNXI SD/MMC: 0, SUNXI SD/MMC: 1 Card did not respond to voltage select! mmc_init: -95, time 22 *** Warning - MMC init failed, using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Allwinner mUSB OTG (Peripheral) SCSI: SATA link 0 timeout.

Check nightly images from the download section. I2s and spdif are not tested but I saw them among patches ... https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/3172289652e846744b745e25530644195bf632ea

Check this topic: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1851-rfc-make-armbian-more-iot-friendly/ There is a wish but few developers can't catch up with everything. Armbian is a community project. If you made something that is generally usable, push it upstream and that functionality becomes a default. https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/

It is filesystem mount property. Edit /etc/fstab and change from commit=600 to commit=2 ... some performance and flash media lifespan will be lost.

Strange. Perhaps this general problem is related: Currently no ideas how to deal with this.
