Rock Pi 4B and preparing /boot


pbies

Recommended Posts

Hi All!

 

I've recently moved to Armbian (Debian buster server) on my Rock Pi 4B - from Ubuntu provided by Radxa (some way failed upgrade). However system is booting from eMMC which has Radxa kernel and then directly to Armbian file system on SSD connected via USB 3.0.

Great is that Armbian is working with Radxa kernel, which I want to change to 5.8.14-rockchip64.

My question is how should I prepare /boot folder on eMMC (which is FAT file system) to boot Armbian kernel?

Is there any other way (reformat eMMC for ext4@32768 sector for /boot folder) to achieve this?

 

Thanks.

Ok, got it!

I've moved finally to Ubuntu Focal server:

  1. make SSD from disk image
  2. make eMMC from the same disk image
  3. edit /boot/ on eMMC to my needs
  4. make SSD via USB 3.0 as root file system in kernel parameters

Kernel upgrade is hard but possible.
