  1. The good thing is: You don't need to modify the contents of the image in order to make it run on an Utilite Pro (This image is supposed to support more or less all imx6 based devices). The nasty thing is: You need to modify the Utilite u-boot environment to make it compatible with the "distroboot-method" and you need to circumvent the limitations of the firmware. The Utilite u-boot cannot read from ext4 filesystems with 64 bit extensions enabled. Download the cubox-image and write it to an usb storage (a) Prepare another usb key (b) with an ext4 filesystem: sudo mkfs.ext4 -O ^64bit /dev/sdxX Mount both and copy the contents from (a) to (b) Adjust the rootfs UUID in /boot/armbianEnv.txt and /etc/fstab Plug-in usb key (b) to your Utilite and check if it boots up.
  2. The matter is, which part of the firmware seems to be broken? If you have flashed the firmware-update mentioned above (before you have bricked it) and if the SPL is still intact, the SPL tries to load the u-boot binary from µSD first. Since Compulab has abandoned Utility Pro support I share the latest "official" firmware here. utilite-updater-2015-10.tar.bz2
  3. Hm, iirc compulab has issued an updated firmware for the Utilite Pro in 2015 (utilite-updater-2015-10.tar.bz2) which tries to load the u-boot binary from µSD first, if present.
  4. Armbian + Docker + Home Assistant Container (https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-container)
  5. You may check these pins.
  6. OpenWrt has a good Wiki-page about this topic, you may try start reading there: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/start
  7. could be 1500000 as well, see here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5029
  8. Unfortunately, HDMI output in u-boot doesn't seem to work at this time. But I have a spare serial connection cable for these kind of devices ...
  9. Both modules have worked in the past (BSP), the red module was made for the C2 while the other came with the N2 developer sample. At this time I'm quite happy that at least one eMMC module is working now. Thank you. Just for the records, you need to write the firmware on emmc starting with sector 1 (instead of sector 0 for µSD): sudo dd if=u-boot-meson.bin of=/dev/XXX conv=fsync bs=512 seek=1
  10. I've tested the 2022.10 GA u-boot. This working for the red coloured eMMC, but the orange coloured eMMC (the faster one) still has the same issue (unable to select a mode : -5).
  11. You'd better go with a fresh Armbian install. The Cubox-I image works for the Utilite Pro as well. Just write the Cubox-i image onto USB or µSD card and modify the u-boot environment in a way mentioned above. If you are afraid to render the Utilite Pro unusable, you can omit the saveenv command and try out the modified environment before you make the change permanent. Before issuing the nand-sata-install command you should modify this shell-script in a way that u-boot can access the filesystem contents during boot. Cheers Uli
