This image should just boot from MicroSD once written with dd, right? The OPi3 is just skipping past it to the eMMC. The contents of the partitions appear to be intact.

yes this should work, i still do not own the hardware, it is on its way to me,...  armbian should have a script that does emmc installation for you, you can find it in armbian-config tool, is eth0 working for you ?

No. I put it on MicroSD. This has highest boot priority. It just went straight through to booting from eMMC. The contents of the MicroSD seemed to be intact. I'll have a better look at the serial output later.

could you try windisk imager 32, if you are using windows at all ?

@krachlatte

So it boots ok from SD card through debug port 

boot process: https://pastebin.com/AzesXntb

dmesg: https://pastebin.com/JG1Qis2y

 

Problems: 

1) Something wrong with ipv4 on eth0 - it is not discovered

2) "reboot" hangs the device.  

 

How can I help with support of OPi3 ?

No sorry. I'm 100% ARM based these days. Mostly Armbian and RISC OS on my devices.

I'm sure my usage of dd was correct as I use it regularly. However I am painfully aware of a bug in something which otherwise silently causes a register dump to dmesg which can cause corruption issues. I wrote the image remotely nohup via ssh and didn't think to check for success beyond the nohup output file afterwards.

I will see if I can try again today. I don't have much direct access right now.

Don't concern yourself too much with that right now. I found that the Sunxi OrangePi Jessie Desktop image falls over into some kind of failure register dump mode after reboot. Other Orange Pi devices also seem to have reboot issues so it's hard to say yet whether it's a design failure or a software bug.

Usually wit any Orange Pi device I have, I apply the 10 second power cycle rule.

I haven't reimaged the MicroSD yet. It still has the first attempt on it. My OPi3 has Debian Jessie on the eMMC. There's also a SATA HDD plugged in to one of the USB3.0 ports currently, but results were the same without it.

 

I did go and grab the UART output for a boot with and without the Armbian SD in.

 

Here's the early boot results. I'm a little perplexed.

 

SD card in. Trying to boot Armbian:

And with the SD card out, just booting Jessie:

The Armbian MicroSD is doing something, but I' not totally sure what. Either way, it just boots into Debian Jessie.

hi Guys, Ladies, eth works, this image also boots fine on beelink GS1 with networking enabled....

Expand  

 

eth0 seems to be even more broken in this release - fully down and no LEDs lit - this looks like the related error: 

[  353.243507] platform 5020000.ethernet eth0: Could not attach to PHY

hi,

 

i got the same image burned to a 32Gb sd card, and it boots fine in my beelink GS1, i still do not have the orangepi 3 hardware, but could you please check the cable, is this realy a good one ?

How did you get jessie installed on the eMMC?

I got my OPi3 by end of last week - tried your image now and have to conclude, that ethernet port is not showing any activity. Unfortunately I do not have any means of debugging up to now and fully depend on ssh access - so hoping for an updated version.
If I could be of any help, please let me know.

I'm phone posting so I don't have the info in front of me. Just roughly what I did was:

Download Debian Jessie Desktop for OPi3 from the OPi download section. Use the Google drive link there.

Before closing Drive, find the PDF manual. The website link points to the wrong manual. 

IIRC the eMMC flashing script name is in the manual. I couldn't find it anywhere else beforehand. 

Run the script and let the magic happen. 

There are more steps beforehand but the magic incantation for installation is in the manual.

please check

 

running on beelink gs1, headless

 

is v0.07 working, please send me the dmesg output after you have changed the /boot/armbianEnv.txt and verbosity=7

 

also could you send

 

tail -n 100 /var/log/syslog

ifconfig -a

ethtool eth0

lsmod

 

 

 

or if you prefer in nmtui clone mac setting ...

 

/etc/network/interfaces to set the mac adress

 

allow-hotplug eth0

Thanks for the hard work @krachlatte! 

 

Never complied a kernel from scratch before and never owned a SBC other than Raspberry Pi's so this is going to be a very steep learning curve; but going to give it a go!

 

I loaded the provided Orange Pi 3 image ( Debian with GUI). Boots fine, and Ethernet works as expected. I've then copied / converted the .dts file from that image ( Included below). Could these be used to provide a Armbian image with working Ethernet since its based on a working OrangePi Device Tree?

 

I can't attached files; so I've inserted the contents of OrangePiH3.dts...

 

OrangePiH6.dts

 

Also can't use Spoiler for some reason?? apologies.

Hi alex.scott.961 this dts would work on a kernel with version 3.x, and what i am tring to do is tom get it running on kernel 4.x, totaly diffrent dts files, in v.0.09 i included the code mentioned here

 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/linux-sunxi

 

i still do not own the hardware, and with v0.07 until v0.09, it does not run on my beelink box anymore.

mmm    Warning - bad CRC, using default environment, this does not look good, i will just do a new image and uploaded it.

beelink_v0.09_Armbian_5.76_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_4.20.12.img.bz2

 

diffrences are in sun50i-h6.dtsi
