Jordan Stanway Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Any chance of getting a legacy image for the A10-lime so that the 4 GB NAND will show up and the /root/nand-sata-install script will work? In the meantime, I'll try the image for Lime2, but I'm pretty sure that one is based on the A20 chip. Thanks,
Igor Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Yes, I'll add support soon. I am getting one A10 board, then I'll try to fix the kernel. Without an actual hardware is a bit hard.
lauhub Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Hi, I just tried the current images (Armbian_5.14_Lime-a10_Debian_jessie_3.4.112) without success on a A10-lime with NAND. I can't see the /dev/nandX devices. I also tried to build image (and kernel) using your build tool, and activating NAND devices: no more success. u-boot does not see the NAND either. Is it still not supported ? or did anyone succeeded in making it work ?

Enable it and it should work. https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/lime-a10.fex#L281 1
lauhub Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Success is hidden in details... Thank you, I'll test this as soon as I can. EDIT: It ... just worked ! Thanks a lot
lauhub Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Hi again, So the kernel is fine, but apparently not the u-boot bootloader. I can boot from SD card fine. But after installation on the NAND, booting from it gives me a ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** error : CPU: Allwinner A10 (SUN4I) Board: Cubieboard I2C: ready DRAM: 512 MiB NAND: 0 MiB MMC: SUNXI SD/MMC: 0 Card did not respond to voltage select! MMC init failed Using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: emac Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** ** File not found boot/uEnv.txt ** ** File not found uEnv.txt ** ** File not found /boot/script.bin ** ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** ** File not found /script.bin ** Calling ''nand info'' from u-boot prompt gives no response. I presume I miss a configuration in u-boot, but I cannot figure out where. I am surprised that the Board detected is Cubietruck although I am running a OLinuXino A10-Lime.
Igor Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 This part will be harder to solve since we lost track to correct NAND u-boot sources long time ago. I can't rebuild boot loader with NAND support ... I have two binaries, one is for Cubieboard A10, the other is for Cubietruck. I can boot from NAND: Cubieboard1,2,3,Olimex Lime 1,2, Pcduinos and Oranges A20 from NAND. I guess Lime A10 has some differentiates? Huh Check if you have nand-part tools installed. Before you gave up, do the rescue scenario - flash NAND with Phoenix tools and install once again.
