No, there's no NAND

Yup, you're right, pal. Apologies if I used NAND...

 

But no, your image doesn't recognize the internal eMMC, I had to use h3droid's kernel to recognize it

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

UPDATE: yup, the armbian kernel is not recognizing the NAND, because I have installed the kernel from h3droid, it boots and recognizes the 2nd MMC if inserted.

 

EDIT: Well, at least it is booting, I hope there's a fix for a mainline kernel for this

Interesting, flashed back AGAIN the old image, but flashed your uboot, mounted and copied the sunvell file,  and when booting, this appears:

 

Starting kernel ...


Error: unrecognized/unsupported machine ID (r1 = 0x00000000).

Available machine support:

ID (hex)        NAME
00001029        sun8i

Please check your kernel config and/or bootloader.

 

Seems to be that the uboot doesn't have the machine id defined?

 

EDIT: Manually setting machid in uboot with 1029  worked

 

setenv machid 1029
saveenv

But armbian can't find the emmc... is the kernel making troubles? Will check

re-writing H3Droid

I was doing it on the meantime... yup, it worked again, will try to recover it. Thanks!

few times

 

Well.. tried to recover uboot writing to memory, and I made a rookie mistake hahaha  and the sdcard is not booting. How many few times?

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

Well, initially, it hangs on:

 

U-Boot SPL 2017.07-00494-g19d1f1a-dirty (Aug 30 2017 - 15:37:08)
DRAM: 1024 MiB
Failed to set core voltage! Can't set CPU frequency
Trying to boot from MMC1
 

 

I am trying to check if I can reprogram uboot from here

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

It is not booting from the sdcard  just soldered to the uart to try to fix it

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

Ok, I get it... the only problem is that now it is not booting from the SD, I think that is the problem with tat uboot. I think I need to attach it to a UART console and reprogram it

That's because when you write the image (Armbian) back over mmcblk1 you overwrote u-boot and fex again

I did it on the internal eMMC, bro

 

The SDCARD is not booting now, I'll check what I did wrong, but at leaste internal eMMC boot to uboot, boots Linux and then panicks (I think it is the UUID on the bootargs)

stuck.

With the fex file, ti worked. I used the next command:

 

wget --no-check-certificate "https://web.archive.org/web/
20171210180447/http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/NumpU8/Armbian_5.34_Sunvell-r69_Ubuntu_x
enial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img.xz" -O - | pv | unxz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk1

And at least it booted, until it panicked hahaha.

 

I am on the right direction, thank you!

Hey Guys,

 

I ended up using a FEX file pro

 

Hey, bro! It's me, netomx from LET  It is a pleasure to know you're working on this. Does this FEX file enables eMMC access?

There is community support (sunvell_r69.csc) for a mainline kernel now, which provides access to the eMMC. No HDMI support yet though ...

Nice! So we need to recompile the kernel with the patch?

because it need some partition-scheme...

That should be easy to fix, with sunxi-nand-part, the hard problem is to make it recognizable

[MMC: No card present error on Allwinner boards]

Mine has 470 ohms open and closed is short-circuit, but still has the same message. Do you think I need to patch uboot?

[H2: Sunvell R69 Android TV Box (AliExpress)]

Sadly, I am using @tkaiser 's desktop image and I cannot see NAND or mmcblk1 internal image, botting with uSD
