Nano pi NEO Core boot from EMMC

[Ali-leb]

first i was able to boot my nanopi from SD card and i was able to access it through SSH.

then i was trying to boot my nanopi from EMMC but it was not booting.
I already installed a different OS which is specialized for Eflasher (nanopi-neo-core_eflasher_friendlycore-xenial_4.14_armhf_20190522 ) . 

then i followed the steps carefully: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index. ... i_NEO_Core

note : i was using commands since there is no HDMI.

I typed : eflasher then i choose 1 and typed yes and waited until the OS was installed successfully and finally i powered off the nanopi, removed the SD card as mentioned, tried to power it on but i could not access it again through SSH anymore.

I would if someone could help find the problem.
or if someone would post the detailed steps to boot the nanopi NEO CORE from emmc using commands lines not HDMI. 

thanks in advance

Trying to get the NanoPi Neo Air boot from EMMC, 

Did the following steps:

1- nand-sata-install

2- boot from eMMC / NAND, system on eMMC/NAND

3- Shutdown, and remove sd card, and reboot.

4- Get stuck in uboot.

Any helps appreciated.  Thanks

This is what I get during boot:

I can only confirm that something is wrong and I checked patches - they seems alright. It used to work in the past ... so something has been changed.

Workaround is by using older builds - install and then update -> dl.armbian.com or wait until this is not resolved.

Thank you,

 

The older version worked. (Armbian_5.37_Nanopiair_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113)

Will be waiting for the latest version with bug fixed.
