Hi there,

 

as already discussed here, 

https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5318-looking-for-an-enclosure-for-espressobin/?do=findComment&comment=49396

 

it seems that this 4-sata mini pci express card is supposed to be supported by armbian. 

As I wrote in that post, it doesn't work for me. 

I've tried Armbian default and next.

 

The cards work, since I got them running with espressobin's Ubuntu distribution.

Also, I've compiled a 4.4.52 Kernel according to:

http://wiki.espressobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+From+Source+-+Kernel

 

It also works just fine with Armbian. 

So, my guess is that there's something different in the kernel config provided by linux-marvel and armbian when it comes to this chipset.

For reference, I've attached the screen output from a boot with the sata card.

 

I can not seem to find the kernel-config in the armbian-buildroot. Where do I find that? 

I've already set *KERNEL_KEEP_CONFIG="yes"* in default-config.conf

 

Any help is aprreciated.

 

Cheers!

udo,

Have you changed/updated u-boot on SPI flash? If not, this is the first thing to do.

You need latest which is 2017.03-armada-17.10 https://dl.armbian.com/espressobin/u-boot/

Thanks for that.

 

Unfortunatly something is fishy now, and the machine is bricked :(

 

i took the 1g-1200_750  - which might have been too much. Time to find out how to unbrick it... Any hints?

Thanks for the help.

My device doesn't work with the flash-image-1g-1200_750_boot_sd_and_usb.bin image, but the 1000_800 does work just fine.

 

Even the SATA-Card works now. Thanks again! Cheers!
