AB-Stromer got a reaction from TRS-80 in Armbian 22.08 booting from emmc
I see this has been solved but maybe it is helpful for others if I share my experience of the last days....
- had Manjaro KDE first and then later Manjaro Gnome running on my PBP, wanted to change desktop due to bad performance with Gnome and somewhat weird booting behaviour
- ran into a lot, really lot of trouble with these U-Boot hassle (u-boot, idbloader, trust) and repeatedly not working, at last not even booting and needed Reset directly on the the board
- was so close to kick the PBP into the trash bin
- but then wanted to give Armbian a chance
- downloaded the version for PBP, version current, with Cinnamon. Unpacked, flashed to a SD card (with dd, no etcher ..), inserted into PBP, start: success!! System on SD booted at first step, ran into initial config, set up wifi: amazing!
- after half an hour enjoying this rescue of my PBP, I wanted to try to flash onto the emmc...
- after quickly finding out, that - other than the armbian doc tells - it's not via "armbian-install" on the command line, but via "armbian-config" in the menu. Chose "System on eMMC, Boot from eMMC"option. Started, it worked through and
- voila! Booting and running from emmc on first shot!!
- So easy can life be! I am really happy and thankful to Armbian, I am an Armbian fan now 😀
