[HELP] nand-stat-install/armbian-install not working

[yuri.vivaldi]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a bunch of arm boards, where I installed armbian on the eMMC

 

I'm trying to re-flash some of them, via SD and then via nand-sata-install, but something is wrong
A fresh SD works, as in:

• boot from SD
• run nand-sata-install
• select eMMC
• run and wait

 

But as soon as I try to do it a second time, on a second board, it breaks, meaning that nand-sata-install doesn't show any storage device, while /dev/mmc* it's recognized from linux (image 1)

 

INFO:

You mean you pull out SD card and move it to the next it fails? Not sure if we ever tested this scenario. I don't known any amateur user that would need such feature.

Yes, flash the first device, then move it to a second one and try to nand-sata-install it

 

Do I need to reset some sort of checked file in the in the SD, some sort of lock?

 

Also, I did it on other armbian installations and hardware, and it worked

I don't work on technical support.

 

Like I said, such functioning was not predicted in design. Its not exactly a bug as it was not planned. In case you need some assurance that someone will look into ... but as this is open source, anyone can add and test functionality you need.

Allright thanks
