Robertspark Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Looking for a bit of advice... Been running Armbian CLI on the tinker (nonS) via SD card no problems Got an S with eMMC... Wrote tinkerOS and it loads no problems... Wrote Armbian image.... No go / boot Any suggestions on how to fix.... Thanks... There is a bit here which is what it used to re-write TinkerOS to the eMMC https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Setup Really like the Armbian CLI versions as lightweight and without bloat.
TonyMac32 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 The issue is u-boot itself. give me an armbianmonitor -u off of the SD card. U-boot has been patched, but packages may need updated. At present the 4.4 kernel is broken because of some rather extreme upstream changes with limited documentation.
TonyMac32 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 @Robertspark OK, I'm in the middle of some other stuff, so I encourage you to try to burn a new SD card to test this, then use http://electricgraveyard.com/armbian/tinker/uboot/linux-u-boot-tinkerboard_5.46_armhf.deb Install it with dpkg -i <name of package>, then verify it boots and can install to eMMC/boot. I've been running an S off of eMMC for a while, it was a simple patch but it hasn't gotten into the images yet, especially after the Rockchip kernel (4.4) went sideways with the most destructive commit bomb ever.
Robertspark Posted June 9, 2018 Author Posted June 9, 2018 @TonyMac32 Thanks very much I'll give it a go
