Juan Pautasso Posted August 11, 2023 Posted August 11, 2023 Hi, i have a problem when i burn the multitool in the SD card. In the instruction said that the armbian image has to be placed in the images folder from the FAT partition but the only partition that have an Images folder is NTFS. I already tried many times with different burners and the result is the same. It should work the same or no? 0 Quote

You try to do the right steps but as last time please be more patient. Yes we now know that you have some exp in software but not linux and not this box.

Not every box is the same, not every chip is the same, so not all pictures are like your box. Jock want the log files, not picture of the boot from mutitool and/or log file of trying direct flash armbian on sd card and then boot. We can not support Android or anything that comes from Android. Yes we are very, very short in describing what we expect in every single step we want from everyone who has problem and ask for help. But here are so many who just post not working and thats it or people who dont read first topic. And also we are write so often to try to help and we think that many have already followed that our topic is Armbian on this box or dont understand that this all is also our free time and hobby. We think that people should understand that this is all at their own risk and that they need to understand something about what they are about to do like uart adapter or working with ssh or console.

It should work the same or no? thats sound not right , there should only one drive with a partion (fat) with all multitool files and there a folder for images ( also compressed ones allowed) , there should no ntfs do you try another sd-card or re download the multitiool 0 Quote

I think I made a post about that, but forgot to update the first post. Sorry, I'm going to fix that right now! Despite that, the multitool works exactly the same as before. 2 Quote

If I insert sd card with multiboot, system doesn't load. If I with the toothpick push rear to av jack and plug the power cable, nothing happen. If I insert OTG usb and install driver 5.1.1 windows (both the laptop with windows 10 that the laptop with windows 7 doesn't recognize the box). Now I have 2 question: 1. what steps should I make to retrieve log files that want Jock? You have wrote that Jock isn't interested to "log file of trying direct flash armbian on sd card" ... but what log he want? 2. how does it work the procedure of short the pin? here attach some images related to my board: 0 Quote

jock Posted August 11, 2023 Author Posted August 11, 2023 It looks like u-boot is not able to detect the sdcard, the first part is missing because the bootloader uart speed is 1.5mbps and then u-boot switches to 115200kbps, but that's it, u-boot does not see the sdcard. The reason is unknown, and resides into the board internal wiring and it is not possible to debug that without the board at hand. It is still possible to boot from USB stick (with the multitool sdcard inserted): burn the multitool on as USB stick and put the legacy image there and the multitool on sdcard will do a trampoline to the multitool on USB stick. 0 Quote

I tried to use a mouse or a keyboard but it do nothing. I had to ask my wife if I should answer in sarcastic, honest and friendly or funny , she said be friendly , but I can not resist a little joke to start the day . /joke on , Yes when you wait 28h 73m and 98s you will have a box that do all automatic and have the power of a i9 13990KH /joke off friendly: you know what you are doing here, that will still be at 11% because that is the part of text that is display, and this page it like every other software the licenses page. you know that you are in a DOS box like Linux console, you have to use keyboard like in good old times and scroll down with arrow keys and hit TAB to witch cursor location and hit SPACE or ENTER If the keyboard does not work, please try another one and leave it plugged in right from the start of the box (there are still keyboards that do not work well under linux even though there is a basic driver for generic keyboards). I don't know if flashing TV boxes is for you if you already have problems with a license text, I understand that you have already flashed the SD card correctly, but this is not windows 11 which automates everything and gets you through the setup agent with mouse and keyboard. Please have in mind following : We think that people should understand that this is all at their own risk and that they need to understand something about what they are about to do like uart adapter or working with ssh or console.

n3o Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 can't find image on multitool partition. I have copy the 2 image files into sd card (where multitool has saved the backup and have made automatically the resize ) and have copied the 2 images also on usb stick (in this case I must have to resize manually the partition ) but message showed is that can't find image. Should I have to extract to images folder as .img files instead of .img.xz ? p.s.: usb stick is necessary, without it multitool don't boot 0 Quote

However after created manually a folder named "image" I have added image extracted "Armbian_22.11.1_Rk322x-box_jammy_current_5.15.80_xfce_desktop.img.xz". Multitool have found that image, so I have flashed that, I have removed sd and usb drive but nothing happen. It's very frustrating 0 Quote

It's very frustrating @n3o Hey I certainly hope you backed up your existing image on the nand/emmc before you overwrote it. And I believe @jock was very clear on the first page of this thread that armbian images should be tested out on a SDcard/USB drive before writing it to a unit's built in storage to make sure they actually boot... 0 Quote

I have done backup mainly for the files dts/dtb files but however android stock image was broken because android enter automatically to recovery mode. fabiobassa has confirmed me that I have a NAND chip, I don'unterstand where is the problem if it's a legacy image . The only thing that I have solved is that now I run multitool and install image from sd card without use usb drive 0 Quote
fabiobassa Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 dear friends i remark that we continue to give help to someone that is not willing to listen and perhaps THIS IS FRUSTRATING and not the fact that the box is not booting After discovered that IF ONLY HE had followed all the instructions that very kindly the users of this 3ad suggested instead of trying other magic combinations, and after we already said thet we need uart logs and so now I would like remember we said to him to stay on legacy kenel that is 4.4.xxx And guess !! He flahsed Armbian_22.11.1_Rk322x-box_jammy_current_5.15.80_xfce_desktop.img.xz in other words a 5.15.80 kernel Do we need other words? 1 Quote
