Clownfish Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I burned a xz compressed image of Armbian Focal onto a good SD card using BalenaEtcher as instructed on the Armbian website. I placed it into my NanoPC T4 - which currently boots from the eMMC, and held the boot button while powering on. It tried to boot - but it kept reporting there was no bootloader file and seemed to be trying to load something from the internet, not the SD card. If I dont press the boot button, it simply ignores the SD card and boots from eMMC. I reburned the SD card several times, and each time it verified fine. Does anyone know what I did wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starman345 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 You probably didn't do anything wrong. The only focal I can get to work is the xfce desktop version, the others have an empty boot folder after burning so won't boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded MATE image and there was nothing in /boot Only the XFCE image has /boot contents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
