mcfo Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi , this morning, 0830 NZ I was treating my Nanopi M4 V2 to a routine apt upgrade of armbian. Just after this part of the update, "Preparing to unpack .../20-linux-image-legacy-rk3399_20.05.3_arm64.deb ... " it threw up this message repeated several dozen times. "23: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: [[: not found " This may be a result of a script typo or similar. Where should I direct this feedback? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now also have the NVMe hat for the M4. I love the thing. I've installed armbian bionic desktop with @JMCC his media script. Works great. Greetings. Hi, I've bought the nvme hat for Nanopi M4 and it is working great, however I can't get armbian (buster server kernel 4.4) to boot from it. When I go to armbian-config (system>install>boot from>) the nvme doesn't appear as an option for a destination, only two usb hdd. The nvme is formated as ext4. What am I missing? Anyone knows what does the script check for listing the possible destinations for the boot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone knows what does the script check for listing the possible destinations for the boot? I assume you tried the other downloads and it worked ? like bionic server or desktop? I know bionic desktop works although i had a few errors which i had to fix in gparted to get it to install but either way it should pop up in boot from. Before you do anything type in "fdisk -l" in command terminal and see if it pops up in their. Also what is the nvme your useing ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun27 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just tested Integral M Series 128GB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD 694mb read. Write i assume is the same but didn't test as i installed armbian on it. I will say you will need to format this drive in gparted and check for errors if the boot from throws up errors saying not enough memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to format it although it was already formated when I bought it, not sure how but I was able to use it. The script was using lsblk to check availble partitions and the nvme did only apear as disk (not part). All working now.

Is there anyway of replacing the sd card without formating the nvme again or do I really need a backup of the sd card after changing the boot system on amrbian-config? What I mean is to flash new armbian image and change some file on the sd card in order to boot from the nvme partition without changing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jyrer Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I've just realized that https://www.armbian.com/download/ only lists Nanopi M4 V2 but not Nanopi M4 (original version). I looked specifically on https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4/ it has no recent ones but archives. Just wondered if it's perfectly fine to use image downloaded from https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4-v2/ for Nanopi M4 original version. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diff goes between not booting at all and lack of some functions. If this data is not marked / written somewhere, a research is needed to answer this questions. Try and report to M4V2 board maintainer if you discover something useful ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
