r2d2r01 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi every body I work with armbian on OPI & BPI fine but I'm looking for an improvment. First I install OS on SD, etc... but with limitations of R/W nb & sensibility if power disappears. I set a boot os SD and after switch on SSD connected on USB by moving directory and after discover a scipt whic do all automatically (thank's armbian). But customer calls me server don't restarts. I go on site (waste of time) burn a new SD etc.... and install a little eaton ups to prevent new failure. The server hosts a little bootstrap webserver, specific application server, cron scripts and nothing else. I need WIFI AP / Eth Gb & SSD and nothing else. I 'm searching for a mother board which boots directly on SSD (skip SD) with function above. Can you help me to choose ? Very thank's Best regards Fredéric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangePiPCPlus is a good candidate, OrangePiPlus2E is also good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2d2r01 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Thank's Martin for answer, it's true i prefer OPI. I have bad experience with BPI Berry and wifi AP/STA not supported (normal CSC status), i will try later with other OS. I avoid to use emmc because storage size is limited & not extensible i need place because store a lot of metrics, I prefer SSD/USB. What's the way/procedure to put armbian directly on SSD please ?

You need to first boot from SDCard, then run "nand-sata-install", there should be a menu where a choice should be present "boot from eMMC - root on USB" (or something similar) ...

r2d2r01 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Hi Guidol thank's for product very interesting. I retain for other use. Hi Martin, ok i reuse same script to switch µSD to SSD but with move. Perfect, i don't know this menu. You confirm as result OPi boots on SSD directly ? No SD card is necessay ? Right Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
