WZ9V 1 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I went back and looked through page 2, not sure I’m daring enough to try all that stuff I don’t understand yet. It seems the next update will have a working utility so I’ll use the SD for now and work on porting the utilities to port the hub management so I can do a proper shutdown in the Pi-Top. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius 7 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Has the eMMC issues been worked out on this board yet? Can I install to SDCARD and then push it to eMMC using arbian-config or is 'page 2' still the only option? Thanx! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i just went through this experience last night, and banged my head against the wall constantly because I'm too stubborn to follow directions. the stupid preinstall android on the emmc is really annoying.. i wish theyd ship it bank What I should have done... the bables way 1. make a 1 gig Fat32 sd or usb card... copy the 2 magic files he has for "multiboot"... apply them as an android update 2. boot from one of bables armbian builds 3. profit? what i did: 1. made a partial mess of the emmc by typing commands in u-boot... but not enough to clean off u-boot 2. installed the bables multiboot 3. booted from babbles armbian 4. DD'd the emmc from babbles armbian 5. booted a regualr frelshly build armbian SD and then ran in the install script. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten that, for standard Armbian nand-sata-install works, but you have to boot Armbian first to get that far. I wasn't able to brick it on purpose using the USB burning tool because it's built not to allow it. (Of all the things for them to do right...) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Xue 22 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Neil finished u-boot UMS support for us. So, soon you will be able to flash the eMMC by exposing it as a mass storage device to your PC. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
comeon 0 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hello Da Xue, so, is it now possible to do that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
