Antony Abi Rached Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 Hello, I am trying to apply the following configuration to my nanoPi Duo Core: * Boot from eMMC * System on SATA/USB (disk) When i try to find the eMMC device using the command "fdisk", I can only see the SD card and the disk that I added. My NanoPi duo core contains the eMMC memory but I am unable to find it. In addition to that, If I try to execute the script "nand-sata-install", only one option is available : boot from SD, system on SATA / USB. The other two options : "boot from eMMC / NAND, system on eMMC/NAND" and " boot from eMMC / NAND, system on SATA / USB" are not mentionned. Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance. Regards, Antony

Hi Antony, I didnt know any model like your "nanoPi Duo core with eMMC" I know the - NanoPi Neo2 Core with eMMC or - NanoPi Duo with Mini Shield - where you could put a Halfsize mSATA SSD The eMMC on the NanoPi Neo2 Core is bootable and the halfsize mSATA-SSD on the NanoPi Duo with Mini-Shield isnt bootable (as I know) Did you try to install to NAND/eMMC via armbian-config (system) - or didnt you use armbian?

This means you have the wrong image (without eMMC support) for your board. We actually don't know which board you have ... make a picture of it, both sides to make sure.
Antony Abi Rached Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks for your replies. I am using nanoPi Neo Core with mini shield nanoPi NEO CORE/CORE2. You can find it attached to this message. As u can see, there is the eMMC memory on the board. I am using armbian stretch with the nanoPi NEO CORE. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Antony
Igor Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 That is something different. We might have some troubles here. Can you provide a link to the download page. I am not sure which image you are using. If you run the board, type armbianmonitor -u
Igor Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Try this image: https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo/Debian_stretch_next_nightly.7z

Only mSATA - non-bootable.
guidol Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 The Neo Core with eMMC is like the Neo Air - at the Download-Page they share the armbian-image (see picture) Try the stretch-version at https://dl.armbian.com/nanopiair/Debian_stretch_next.7z
Igor Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 But I guess it's better to merge it with Neo (now eMMC support is enabled by default and this should not affect normal Neo functionality), as I did it now since it also has ethernet while Air doesn't. At least on this shield. @guidol Check download https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/ ... if nightly images are exposed and named properly?

OK - if eMMC is enabled at the normal Neo image this would be the better selection.... but the I would suggest to move the "Core" description from the NanoPi Neo Air to the NanoPi Neo. At the normal exposed Neo download-page isnt a nightly image - only xenial and stretch mainline as stable

It is enabled since u-boot2018/05, kernel 4.17.y ... and I can't double check atm. Edit: switched + added text that you need to use nightly images for Core. 12 minutes ago, guidol said: At the normal exposed Neo download-page isnt a nightly image - only xenial and stretch mainline as stable CTRL R?

Antony Abi Rached Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks for your replies. I tried the image corresponding to Nanopi Neo / Core after the changes that you made but i got the same results. I will try the image that you mentioned now @guidol . Thanks a lot for your help. 1
Antony Abi Rached Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 I just tried the image that you mentionned @guidol but I got also the same problem. eMMC is not support and If I try to execute the script "nand-sata-install", only one option is available : boot from SD, system on SATA / USB. Any suggestions? Regards, Antony
Antony Abi Rached Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 What does mean nightly image ? @guidol @Igor
guidol Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 44 minutes ago, Antony Abi Rached said: What does mean nightly image ? @guidol @Igor nightly does mean, that (mostly) every night there will be a actual updated image generated - and if you wish you could update daily your system without reinstalling. It also mean that this will be a very fresh - and sometimes a image with problems, but the NanoPi Neo Core is also a NEW (around 7 months) device. So there wil be - at this time - no other stable image which support all the features of this device.

Antony Abi Rached Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 So the eMMC storage is not supported for now ?
guidol Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 6 minutes ago, Antony Abi Rached said: So the eMMC storage is not supported for now ? Sorry - my fault , @Igor did wrote Quote It is enabled since u-boot2018/05, kernel 4.17.y ... and I can't double check atm. and https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo/Debian_stretch_next_nightly.7z is "only" Kernel 4.14 So you have to try https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo/nightly/Armbian_5.54.180727_Nanopineo_Debian_stretch_next_4.17.10.7z (here you could see all nightly images: https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo/nightly/ ) For bionic/kernel 4.18 we have to wait for the end-release of 4.18 later this year.
Antony Abi Rached Posted July 26, 2018 Author Posted July 26, 2018 I tried this image. I typed the command : "uname -a" to know the version of the Kernel and I got the following result : Linux nanopineo 4.17.10-sunxi #40 SMP Thu Jul 26 10:21:51 UTC 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux So i am using Kernel 4.17 but the eMMC is not supported.
guidol Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 19 minutes ago, Antony Abi Rached said: So i am using Kernel 4.17 but the eMMC is not supported. Did you boot via MicroSD-Card and then use armbian-config as command. Inside armbian-config select system and then you should see the option to install to eMMC like on the picture (or why is it not supported? Error-Message?)
Igor Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 It is possible that there are no bits in the device tree ... so we need another patch for the kernel. Edit: I can prepare another image later on.

Any suggestions? Wait until tomorrows update. Do apt-update & upgrade - make sure new kernel version is installed, reboot and try again.
Igor Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 @Antony Abi Rached Try https://dl.armbian.com/nanopineo/Debian_stretch_next_nightly.7z or just update if you still run previous version.
Antony Abi Rached Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Thank you @Igor @guidol for your help. I will try it next week and give you my feedback. 1
GB_linux Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 I have a NanoPi Neo Core with eMMC..I have installed armbian os from "https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-neo/" to sd card and tried the "Armbian configuration utility" and "nand-sata-install" to install os to eMMC. But it is showing "there are no targets..please check your drives."..If we give "fdisk -l" command it is not detecting the eMMC. How to solve this issue??
