superpat Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hi, I am trying to get my Xu4 to boot from an emmc card, I am using Armbian Bionic mainline kernel 4.9.y. I can write this to SD card, and it boots and runs OK. I prepared the emmc card using the inbuilt system nand-sata-install script. The emmc card will not boot. I tried a couple of other iso.s same non result. Checking the forum I found this thread started last year:- This thread was HIJACKED by Tkaiser , who turned it into a discussion about OMV, and I cannot see a successful conclusion to the original boot problem! Please can you advise me of the method to get my emmc card to boot on my xu4, using the current kernels and not having to revert to a 3 series! many thanks P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to do this once. Boot from SD, got to nand-sata-install ... and select "Update bootloader" ... after that, your eMMC is capable to boot Armbian ... which doesn't use FAT boot partition and our fixed u-boot fix this.
