I hope someone can help me with an annoying but not pressing eMMC boot problem.
Recently I bought myself a Pin64 H64 3GB SBC and an 32GB eMMC module (actually ordered a 16GB but got a 32GB :-) ) I have a Waveshare 7" TFT touchscreen attached. SBC and Screen are powered either a 5V/3A PSU or a batterypack.
Now the board boots fine and fast! from a Samsung EVO sd card .. no problems there, but I cannot get the board to boot from the eMMC module.
What I have done so far:
1) Flash an Armbian Buster image to the eMMC (using a USB_eMMC converter) with Etcher on Linux Mint... Boot the board from eMMC WITHOUT sd card installed. The system hangs when the kernel is started.. see attached picture and u-boot output.
2) Wipe the whole eMMC clean, format as ext4. Install it on the board, insert sd card .. boot the board.. OK.. try 'nand-sata-install' from cli or armbian-config->system->install ... both methods just hang instantly.
Apart from these boot attempts I tried to access the (ext4 formatted) eMMC module after bootup from sd. But I do not see the device in the 'mount' output or /dev/disk/by-uuid listing.
Is there anything else I can verify/try ? The eMMC module 'seems' to be functioning fine in the USB_eMMC converter ?
Best regards and a big thank you to the dev team for Armbian.. it's running very swiftly ! Well worth my (first) donation :-)
