When assembling custom image through armbian build env, how to insert my own config. How to enable support for booting from USB flash? To flash the bootloader in spi-flash

I'm flash u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin into spi-flash,  but have error No Bootable media found. Sorry for my English

Hi, You can compile with: 

 

./compile.sh CREATE_PATCHES="yes"

 

The build will pause; atf, uboot, kernel, with each stop you can make your respective changes.

 

Haven't looked much at boot options - perhaps someone with experience can chime in?

In devices with allwinner chips, a simple code is hard-wired that polls possible boot devices in the following order:
1) sd card
2) a memory chip soldered on the board.
3) if they are empty, the device switches to "fel" mode and becomes available when it is connected to another computer using a USB cable.

In this mode, you have the opportunity to read or write any boot code to a soldered memory chip. This is done using the "sunxi-tools" utility.

 

1-2) When the boot code "u-boot" is found on one of these media, it starts working and scans the devices for downloading about which it has information.

This process can be seen in the UART console. "u-boot" reads the file armbianEnv.txt

For verification, you can boot from the SD card. Connect an external drive via the USB connector.

Having previously written the file system of any OS to one of its partitions. Determine its UUID using the blkid command.

Edit the file armbianEnv.txt on your sd card, register a new UUID for the root partition there and reboot.

I was successful to boot uBoot over SPI-FLASH and continue to boot over network (PXE+NFS), and my few comments:

  1. uboot (orangepi)
     - https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/u-boot-orangepi.git (v2021.10-sunxi)
    does not support SPI-FLASH boot
  2.  upstream uboot hungs, but it has patch to support SPI boot (since v2023.01-rc1)
    - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=252044&state=*
    - https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/commit/e50ee3a8d7328142eb24741305f751e5c0952380
  3. so I extend 1. with 2. (attached) and rebuild uBoot
  4. flash uboot, in linux ` nandwrite /dev/mtd0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin ` (erase: ` flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0 `)
  5. install jumper between PC5 and GND (13-14 pinheader)

  6. ... and boot

Yes it is different from other allwinner chips. The register is read-only and a jumper is needed.
