Zeebee Posted Thursday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:40 PM I think i messed up with armbian-config, namely with 'system' sub section. I noticed that lately the only images that boot are armbian with kernel 6.9.x Nothing, i say nothing with a lower kernel number would boot -- even those SD cards that were good last time i tried them. None of orangepi factory images boot. In and out of itself, it is not a problem. Yet. But what if something changes in a future? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted Thursday at 01:52 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:52 PM Wipe SPI/eMMC before trying to boot vendor/legacy/3rd party OS from microsd again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebee Posted Thursday at 02:07 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:07 PM Thanks for replying! "wipe the SPI" (i don't use eMMC, it died after just a couple of days) Yes, i would think so, but HOW? Yesterday i opened the case and pushed the button marked 'RECOVERY' but i don't think it does anything other than restart... The screenshot above, i tried all three 4, 5, 7, options, to no avail. In the absence of "normal" BIOS, I don't really understand this boot process... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted Thursday at 02:09 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:09 PM 1 minute ago, Zeebee said: but HOW? I'd do the following: Boot any image that works for your and check if /dev/mtd0 is present. Then simply overwrite it with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtd0. May take a few minutes. This type of memory is rather slow at writing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Zeebee Posted Thursday at 03:57 PM Author Solution Share Posted Thursday at 03:57 PM (edited) Well, it works now with some of the older SD cards i tried, they work as usual. But the internal nvme (M.2) drive doesn't boot. When i start without any SD card, nothing happens, black screen, status light red not blinking. So, i guess i need to start Armbian from SD card which works, and go to armbian-config... Well, i think this is where i messed up last time... What exactly i need to do? I'd like to boot from any SD card inserted, also from older ones, and from internal nvme drive when no card is in. Edited Thursday at 04:11 PM by Zeebee only later discovered that internal m.2 doesnt boot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
