Many thanks for your reply, soldering isn't a problem for me , but i have micro usb/ usbA cable to and i will test boot from sd and use nmtui (i have aerial).

Hello, i have a project to buy nanopi air, i read previously post and see the flash emmc over usb/seriable cable. But is it possible to boot nanopi from sd card and use after nand-sata-install script, like i do with my opipc+? so is it possible to use nanopi air armbian image like with other board (opi......)?

Hello , i'm interresting to backup emmc on opi pc + , i see script on post 56. is this script work fine? if i understand how it work , i must copy script on sd card with armbian , boot from this sd and launch script . at end i have a copy of emmc in sd /var/images/emmc.img.7z? and if i want to restore this image on emmc, how i do? (dd?) thanks.

Don't sorry you spent verry time to help me, and the mistake was mine. yesterday i try to explore nand -sata-install script to try to understand how it work and try some commandes. and one time i have a rebbot on emmc but with sd plugged.... very strangely. i continue to rummage this emmc. So,in finnaly if i find nothing, i know how access emmc data from sd boot, i will backup this on usb key , execute nand-sata-install from fresh debian sd card and manualy copie datato emmc from backup.

yes 2 inch it is better than nothink i recheck /mnt/etc/fstab: /dev/mmcblk1p1 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 /var/swap none swap sw 0 0 i see nothing wrong . maybe try /dev/mmcblk1? or reload just kernel core? thanks again for your help ang youtr time.

thanks for reply. 1) i mount mmcblk1p1 and there's no line rootdev in boot.cmd , where add this? and must i run "mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /mnt/boot/boot.cmd /mnt/boot/boot.scr" after change boot.cmd. strangely in line 11 , root=uuid=39e06b78-4f68-4cfb-a505-c7bd1f801b7e is different of uuid mmcblk1p1 in /dev/disk/by-uuid/a80ecb16-1adb-4a2b-ad23-b15d3b4f7517 maybe must i change this too? 2) i havn't /mnt/boot/armbianEnv.txt. 3) /mnt/etc/fstab: /dev/mmcblk1p1 / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,commit=600,errors=remount-ro 0 1 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 /var/swap none swap sw 0 0

thanks. Yes i understand that later....... is it possible to just reinstall boot partition in emmc for booting witthout sd and don't lost data in emmc?

hello , i use opi pc + i was install armbian in emmc with nand-sata-install without problems. so after a few mouths of work i would backup emmc. i plug an sd in a usb reader and launch nand-sata-install. i has been just one choise: "boot to sd , systeme on sata usb". all copy was good. but now opi boot only with sd card plug in the usb reader or with a fresh image in sd slot. if i try nand-sata-install from usb reader , i have error message "this toll must run from sd card!" how is it possible to reinstall old systeme (with all my work) in emmc. thanks.
