smersh Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/3wJg Hello, I have problems with the u-boot both with the prebuild "Armbian_21.05.1_Nanopineo_buster_current_5.10.34" image from the armbian.com and with the "Armbian_21.08.0-trunk_Nanopineo_buster_current_5.10.59_minimal" image built form sources . First of all, the u-boot versions are different. The prebuilt image has "U-Boot 2021.04-armbian" and the second one - "2020.10" The board boots ok with the both images, but the u-boot does not see the SD card properly and is not able to load the environment file from it: "Loading Environment from FAT... Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110" Is there any fix for this problem? Thanks, NJ

On my NanoPi Neo I do use 16GB Grey/Red Sandisk-SD-Cards (80x Speed) without any problems.
smersh Posted August 23, 2021 Author Posted August 23, 2021 Actually the board does boot and works ok with the both images. The problems is that the u-boot can not load the environment. NJ

Sources are available so I would assume its fixable. Its probably just a configuration or patch issue. Dig in. If you find and fix the problem and when you are sure it doesn't break any other board, send a patch.
smersh Posted August 23, 2021 Author Posted August 23, 2021 Well, I'll try. FYI the 2020.10 u-boot is also partially broken for the Nanopi Neo 2 board. It also does not read the environment file, without throuwing error, however, and the u-boot console does not work. All that was working in older releases of the u-boot: have just checked for Nanopi Neo with 2019.10 u-boot. How can I compare 2019.10 and 2020.10 sources? Regards! NJ

Which is not nearly granted feature and its not secured when u-boot goes up with its version. For more polishing we ran out of time ... and FYI supporting fixing bugs can cost a lot more. Also doesn't align with carefully planned time expenses for R&D. tl;dr; With limited time and no budget it is not possible to fix everything. There are others, more important problems waiting to be addressed.

Is there any method I can use to implement 2019.10 u-boot into the current sources, if not senseless?
