MBC Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The NanoPi R4SE is similar to the NanoPi R5S. Would love to have an Armbian image for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Actually it seems to be more similar to the R4S but with eMMC welded on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBC Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 That too. https://www.friendlyelec.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=69&product_id=288 indicates "It works with FriendlyWRT, Ubuntu, Armbian etc." but I couldn't find an Armbian image for it.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I suggest to ask them why they claim that it works with Armbian then 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajelo Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'm equally interested in an Armbian image file for R4SE. There's an official Debian Buster desktop image (works fine, installed via USB), but I'm looking for an open sourced Debian Bullseye headless version. I'm trying to understand how I can use the EFlasher to flash from a SD, ideally with the Armbian Bullseye or R4S on it. Any ideas, what would be the steps ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I assume to be make armbian run in R4SE an additional patch is needed that enables eMMC in the device tree. Then nand-sata-installer should be able to do the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBC Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 FYI, here's the DTB compiled from rk3399-nanopi-r4se.dts It allows me to see the eMMC drive and run nand-sata-installer but it doesn't boot from eMMC. rk3399-nanopi-r4se.dtb 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 10 hours ago, MBC said: but it doesn't boot from eMMC. Perhaps further adjustments to uboot are necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBC Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Here's the kernel, uboot, dtb, and some reference files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r0-VhIPvTGCMiZZjIS6tQ4ZJNoIjFIe8/view?usp=sharing but I'm not familiar with your https://github.com/armbian/build process so I'm not sure how to slipstream them into a new build.

MBC Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 Update: a working Armbian image (both SD card and eMMC) has been made available from c0rnelius / pyavitz: https://github.com/pyavitz/binary/releases/download/images/rk3399-nanopi-r4se-debian-bullseye-5.19.11-arm64-2022-09-27.img.xz Boot using an SD card (either the image above or the Armbian R4S image with my dtb file above) and run the following to image the eMMC: wget https://github.com/pyavitz/binary/releases/download/images/rk3399-nanopi-r4se-debian-bullseye-5.19.11-arm64-2022-09-27.img.xz xz -dc rk3399-nanopi-r4se-debian-bullseye-5.19.11-arm64-2022-09-27.img.xz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk2 status=progress Note: if booting using pyavitz image from an SD card, you'll need to use a toothpick to press in the MASK button on the R4SE for 3 seconds during power on to use the SD card bootloader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
