FRANK333 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/1UuB I have an orangepizero (https://www.armbian.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/orangepizero.png) I installed Armbian_5.90_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57.7z on 32GB sd. The pi0 is powered via pin with a 5V/5A power supply, norflash mx25l1606e. The HDD is a new working 80gb maxtor powered by an external USB 2.0 box. I have also connected the serial and read the boot information. I used armbian-config and transferred armbian to HDD and it works, but I have to keep the miniSD plugged in.I ask you can boot from HDD and not use any SD? PS I read almost all posts here on the forum and tried the old procedures but it does not work. Spoiler => reset resetting ...

guidol Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I did this as a test in March this year: It did work, but the Zero did need more power to boot via USB (for the USB-Stick) as for the SDCard. So you need a good powersupply (>2.5A and maybe 5.1V = original Raspberry-PowerSupply) The other problem (the first is power - when the HDD hasnt a own PowerSupply) could be that your USB-HDD is spnning up to slow that the Zero will find it as boot-device. First try to boot from a USB-Stick to check if USB-Boot does work then check if it does work with the HDD. Did you already program the current/new u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin to you spi-chip (you have to enable the overlay spi-jedec-nor in armbian-config for using teh commands to program the chip)?

FRANK333 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 hello guidol, I'd already read your post (and Martinayotte's) and tried your solutions. I can only start with the sd connected, if I take it off it crashes and goes into a loop as you see in the spoiler above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidol Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 It does found your device Device 0: Vendor: Maxtor 6 Rev: 0811 Prod: Y080L0 Type: Hard Disk Capacity: 78167.2 MB = 76.3 GB (160086528 x 512) ... is now current device Scanning usb 0:1... but couldnt boot.... So it seems only the problem how did you make the device bootable? Which utility/command do you used to transfer the armbian-image to your HDD?

FRANK333 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 I used armbian-config (https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-install-to-emmc-nand-sata-usb) option no. 3 I have the impression that without the sd the boot files that are on the HDD are read but that later on they are discarded because they are not appropriate. The problem is how to edit them correctly (I tried to edit the cmd with /dev/sda1 and recompile, but it does not work) Below in the spoiler there is the boot log when I delete the SD Spoiler U-Boot SPL 2019.04-armbian (Jul 06 2019 - 00:40:48 +0200) DRAM: 512 MiB Trying to boot from sunxi SPI U-Boot 2019.04-armbian (Jul 06 2019 - 00:40:48 +0200) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner H3 (SUN8I 1680) Model: Xunlong Orange Pi Zero DRAM: 512 MiB MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0, mmc@1c10000: 1 Loading Environment from EXT4...
