Oh sorry, I meant u-boot.emmc. It was a typo indeed. I checked and this is how it is in the boot drive.

Image used : Armbian_23.02.2_Aml-s9xx-box_bullseye_current_6.1.11.img.xz u-boot.mmc is created in the the boot drive after installing to emmc with the script. This u-boot is probably the copy of the one we put into the boot drive of sd card right ?. Because I used one from other forum, I thought to replace it with the ones came with the image. Not sure if it makes sense. I followed these Instructions :

Thanks for the reply. These patches are applied at build right ?. As of now I've never build Armbian image myself, only used the releases directly . i will try and follow the How-Tos. Any links to refer, for this particular scenario ?

I use the x96 air 2g_100m (s905x3) version. I used Armbian for amlogic(bulls_eye, xfce) boxes as specified in the tutorial here. I tried with many dtbs, (it even had one named x96 air) all of the didn't work. So I tried the u-boot.ext file from this Manjaro for Arm tutorial. (The link for the archive). This combined with 'meson-sm1-x96-air.dtb' file worked great and I was able to boot from SD card without any hiccups. And for the first time, the onboard wifi was working flawlessly. I could only get it to work with Coreelec before. With this, I decided to write it to emmc . I used the 'install-aml.sh' to do this and it completed successfully. But when I rebooted from emmc, it was showing the error: unable to select a mode MMC Device not found no mmc device at alot 2 DMA reset timeout missing environment variable: pxeuuid missing environment variable: bootfile Retrieving file: pxelinux.cfg/01-62-02-70-d5-a0-7d DMA reset timeout So I replaced the u-boot.mmc file with the original one (u-boot-s905x2-s922 renamed to u-boot.mmc). This one fails to boot altogether, just boot-looping. So I figure issue must be I don't know much about u-boot files and dtbs, I would really appreciate some guidance on this.. Thanks

I am getting the same error too. I use the x96 air 2g_100m (s905x3) version. I used Armbian for amlogic(bulls_eye, xfce) boxes as specified in the tutorial here. I tried with many dtbs, (it even had one named x96 air) all of the didn't work. So I tried the u-boot.ext file from this Manjaro for Arm tutorial. The link for the .tar. This combined with 'meson-sm1-x96-air.dtb' file worked great and I was able to boot from SD card without any hiccups. And for the first time, the onboard wifi was working flawlessly. I could only get it to work with Coreelec before. With this, I decided to write it to emmc . I used the 'install-aml.sh' to do this and it completed successfully. But when I rebooted from emmc, it was showing the same error as the OP here. I don't know much about u-boot files and dtbs, hence I stumbled upon this discussion. I thought I could provide some extra info to help . Thanks
