Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Is it possible to boot Orange pi Zero directly from hdd. I have sata hdd attached to OPI Zero via PI NAS. I can boot from usb flash and use HDD as root device but faild to boot from HDD directly. Is it possible to do this or not.
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 I've found this: https://github.com/lentinj/u-boot/blob/master/doc/README.sata . Look's like it's possible. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

It should be enough to simply write an Armbian image directly to the HDD. On practice it is impossible to diagnose booting issues in any other possible scenario without a UART console. 1 hour ago, Vladimir Petrovic said: I've found this: https://github.com/lentinj/u-boot/blob/master/doc/README.sata . This is for native SATA, OPi Zero has only USB SATA via the NAS expansion board or any other USB-SATA adapter.
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 So it's usb sata... I think I know what I missed in instalation. I've dd if=soruce of=/dev/sdxx but I've did not set boot flag on partiton so that's why it does not boot from the hdd. I'll check today if I can boot it bringing boot flag to hdd. I have UART deug console attached to RPI0 . Tnx.
Vladimir Petrovic Posted May 29, 2018 Author Posted May 29, 2018 look's like u-boot does not recognise usb2sata controler on NAS expansion board for opi0. Any idea how to correct this? Is it even possible?
