Preamble: I have done numerous hours of reading and searching (due diligence). See end.

 

I have a FA NanoPi NEO Core-2 LTS with shield and 64G M.2 (This shield uses JMS567-LGBB1A chip USB to sata for M.2 access).  I have successfully installed Armbian from SD to and booted from the eMMC.

Logs indicate formatting did occur correctly as far as I can tell. The volumes are formatted as I selected - along with an 'extra' ext4 volume that looks like it is just for boot. NOTE: Since I could not boot, I re-tried using default ext4 for both which works. System now boots Armbian without TF. ATM OS resides on sda1.

To elaborate on the process, after writing TF card and booting, I ran armbian-config selecting option "eMMC boot | USB/SATA/NVMe root install" and selected format of btrfs for sda1. Also, "Select filesystem type for eMMC /dev/mmcblk2" ... "Formating /dev/mmcblk2 to f2fs ... please wait". The utility responded with the appropriate warnings (about erasing/formatting) and appeared to execute correctly, returning no errors and prompting for reboot at end of process. I shutdown, removed card, powered up and system did not come up properly. I saw no special advisories about additional manual steps etc.

 

Question:
Did I miss a step when using the alternative disk format options on this platform? Are they a WIP? Should I file a bug report?
