# uname -a
Linux H6 4.18.13-sunxi64 #3 SMP Fri Oct 12 17:43:44 CST 2018 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

1, burn the image to SD card

2, use nand-sata-install command, burn emmc

3, remove the SD card

4, reboot the board, can't boot, the error message:

mkdir /mnt/emmc

mount /dev/mmcblk2p1 /mnt/emmc

 

and then I try modify the /mnt/emmc/boot/boot.cmd and /mnt/emmc/boot/boot.scr files, 

setenv rootdev "/dev/mmcblk0p1"       change mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk2p1

if test "${devtype}" = "mmc"; then part uuid mmc 0:1 partuuid; fi      change "mmc 0:1" to "mmc 2:1"

 

and I check the emmc device UUID, is correct.

Document from 2016 might not be useful. Script.bin is proprietary Allwinner way of describing hardware configuration. This is EOL and is not used in mainline kernel which we use here. Here, we have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_tree

Support for eMMC in u-boot is not enabled or does not exists at all. Check those patches to get an idea how to enable eMMC:

https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/add-nanopi-air-emmc.patch
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sun50iw2/add-a64-olinuxino-emmc-support.patch

Than just use nand-sata-install.

You've didn't mentioned which board you are using !

Is it a PineH6 ? In this case, I think no Devs worked on creating u-boot patches for it yet ...

[Lin Xiaofeng]

@martinayotte Sorry,  the device is our new product, No brand and model, use the H6 chip. 

 we use the "orangepi lite2" to build the armbian image.

 

@Igor  today I change the patch, add MMC2, but is not work,  the error message is change, 

The error message:

U-Boot SPL 2018.09-rc1-armbian (Nov 20 2018 - 18:39:10 +0800)
DRAM: 1024 MiB
Trying to boot from MMC2
MMC: no card present
spl: mmc init failed with error: -123
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

 

1. add "CONFIG_MMC_SUNXI_SLOT_EXTRA=2" to the defconfig

root@ubuntu:/armbian/cache/sources/u-boot/h6-hdmi-rebased-1/configs# cat orangepi_lite2_defconfig
CONFIG_ARM=y
CONFIG_ARCH_SUNXI=y
CONFIG_MACH_SUN50I_H6=y
CONFIG_DRAM_ODT_EN=y
CONFIG_MMC0_CD_PIN="PF6"
CONFIG_HDMI_DDC_EN="PH2"
CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE="sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2"
CONFIG_SPL=y
CONFIG_MMC_SUNXI_SLOT_EXTRA=2

 

2. add the MMC2 to the dts

root@ubuntu:/armbian/cache/sources/u-boot/h6-hdmi-rebased-1/arch/arm/dts# cat sun50i-h6-orangepi-lite2.dts

/dts-v1/;

#include "sun50i-h6.dtsi"

#include <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>

/ {
        model = "OrangePi Lite 2";
        compatible = "xunlong,orangepi-lite2", "allwinner,sun50i-h6";

        aliases {
                serial0 = &uart0;
        };

        chosen {
                stdout-path = "serial0:115200n8";
        };
};

&mmc0 {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&mmc0_pins>;
        vmmc-supply = <&reg_cldo1>;
        cd-gpios = <&pio 5 6 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
        bus-width = <4>;
        status = "okay";
};

&mmc2 {
        pinctrl-names = "default";
        pinctrl-0 = <&mmc2_pins>;
        vmmc-supply = <&reg_cldo1>;
        vqmmc-supply = <&reg_bldo2>;
        non-removable;
        cap-mmc-hw-reset;
        status = "okay";
};

....

Why should your product be our problem and expense?
