Problem with booting BananaPi Pro

[olex0]

For a long time, for more than three years, I did not use my BananapiPro board. And recently I decided to launch it again.I downloaded new Armbian image distribution. But the system when loading gives out an error. After the initialization of the devices, a message appears:

Device 0: unknown device

....

 

which is postponed and the loading does not happen.

I tried to record the image with different programs and dd from console. Also I use three different sd cards. I also tried the old images from the archive, but the situation is repeated. And the old images from 2019 have not been found.

Does that mean that new images are not supported by my board? Did it be broken?

We are aware software support for Allwinner is slowly but surely collapsing, so this is the plan https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1502 There is no support from any side, not from users, not from industry, budget is negative and we already lost lets say hundred hours for preparation and meetings, without counting the work on the code that is already in motion. Just to improve this section. We also purchased some additional devices so we can monitor upgrades better ... To save time answering this question.

 

If you build image from sources, it will work. I just did it earlier today: https://paste.armbian.com/amufuxisen

MMC: no card present

 

Probably it is a problem in uboot, it cannot detect any SD-Cards. Thats why uboot is searching for a TFTP server to boot from there. You can set up a TFTP Server and check if you can at least boot the kernel and see if your SD-Card is detected in the kernel.

I just tested Armbian_23.11.1_Bananapipro_bookworm_current_6.1.63.img:

 

dd bs=8M if=Armbian_23.11.1_Bananapipro_bookworm_current_6.1.63.img of=/dev/sdc

 

Boots without any problems, opening ssh gives me:

@teknoidI wonder why you suddenly commented on 5 months old thread that had no activity what so ever
