Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of building a file/download server with a Banana Pi Pro using the JMB 321 SATA port multiplier.
Right now I'm just trying to build an image that will allow me to boot from an SSD, then I will deal with adding the JMB.
I compiled a fresh image following the menu options after executing ./compile.sh selecting bananapi/jessie/next and it boots up correctly except it does not detect the SSD I have connected directly to the SATA port.(does not show in blkid or fdisk -l)
Image name provide: Armbian_4.83_Bananapipro_Debian_jessie_4.3.4
Going thru the kernel logs, I found this:
Jan 26 20:22:03 localhost kernel: [ 3.498489] ahci-sunxi 1c18000.sata: PHY power up failed.
Jan 26 20:22:03 localhost kernel: [ 3.498557] ahci-sunxi: probe of 1c18000.sata failed with error -5
It says on armbian/banana-pi that "NAND is not supported yet" for kernel 4.3.3, does this mean the SATA port? If so, is there a 4.x kernel that does support it? Or am I just doing something wrong?
Has anyone been able to successfully accomplish what I am trying to do? (JMB with bootable SSD)
Thanks for any help, greatly appreciated.
