Just to add, Armbian boots upto systemd and then gets stuck at loading some scripts. This image gives some additional information.

Hi, So, Previously this massage (No emmc) appeared if the preinstalled Android was able to boot up completely and then restarted by repowering while the sdcard was inserted or the tvbox was rebooted while the sdcard was in the slot, however this got fixed if the device was powered off during the android bootanimation but after accidentally installing an incomplete image of latest armbian release I am no longer able to get the emmc working even after trying restarting at various boot levels. I have found others experiencing the same issue in this post but according to the circumstances I am in I think my issue might have a different solution. Any way through which this issue can be solved ? This might help : root@multitool:~# dmesg -T | grep mmc2 [Tue Jan 6 21:06:28 2026] mmc_host mmc2: Bus speed (slot 0) = 2343750Hz (slot req 400000Hz, actual 390625HZ div = 3) [Tue Jan 6 21:06:28 2026] mmc_host mmc2: Bus speed (slot 0) = 50000000Hz (slot req 50000000Hz, actual 50000000HZ div = 0) [Tue Jan 6 21:06:28 2026] mmc2: Card stuck in programming state! __mmc_switch [Tue Jan 6 21:06:28 2026] mmc2: error -110 whilst initialising MMC card I have also attached the whole dmesg log and lsblk output if needed. multitool-ssh-output.txt

I have a RK3228A TV Box which is able to properly boot armbian when flashed to its eMMC (no rknand) . However I don't use Armbian much often, probably a maximum of two to three times a month. I want to keep stock Android on eMMC, for video playback on the YouTube app is much faster compared to in firefox and Android has proper remote support which Armbian lacks. I tried flashing the armbian community image on the sdcard but the device didn't boot from sdcard unless the eMMC was wiped. I found that multitool is able to always boot from sdcard irrespective of whatever is in the emmc. After doing some research on the multitool build process, I think I need a properly configured idbloader, uboot and tee binary and then place them at proper offsets in the image, however the Armbian image already contains different data at those offsets. So, how can I build an Armbian image that can be booted from sdcard without wiping the eMMC ?
