areinink Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Armbianmonitor: http://ix.io/1AuN Hello, Since a week I try moving the OS on the sdcard to an attached SSD. OS: Armbian 5.65 Ubuntu Xenial 3.4.113 desktop Because the BPIM1 has a genuime SATA interface it should work. I have found dozens of tutorials how to do this. Until now I did not find any tutorial that works. Of course I started with nand-install expecting this would work out of the box. But after the install and rebooting I got the notification that it couldn't find the ssd. I guess I have to change something in the bootloader on the sdcard? (I am not a Linux expert but an enthustiastic Linux user) Is there any working tutorial including the final steps? Kind regards, André Reinink From the Armbian docs: On Allwinner devices after switching to boot from NAND or eMMC clearing the boot loader signature on the SD card is recommended: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblkN bs=1024 seek=8 count=1 (replace /dev/mmcblkN with the correct device node – in case you run this directly after nand-sata-install without a reboot in between then it’s /dev/mmcblk0). 9FEB2019: I did add this extra step after the nand-install. After executing this and restarting, the BPIM2 doesn't boot anymore? What did I do wrong? 10FEB2019: After 7th attempts I changed the SSD (Intel 180GB) for an OCZ 120GB). Attempt number 8 with the OCZ was succesfull with nand-sata-install. No problems at all. I am happy:-) Edited February 10, 2019 by areinink I have found the problem 0 Quote
arhangel76 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Howdy, i installed the latest version of the armbian on Banana Pi Pro and i do not find my 32gb ssd The Armbian I got from here: https: //dl.armbian.com/bananapi/archive/ Thanks in advance. 0 Quote

Igor Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Double checked, there is nothing wrong on our side. Get proper PSU and connect it properly, not on OTG port and it must work.http://ix.io/1AuW (latest bionic image from the download page). Bananapi PRO is the same when it comes to SATA port. 1 Quote
arhangel76 Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 I have a minimum 3A source and I attach the pictures and I did not connect anything to the OTG 0 Quote
Igor Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 If other images can recognize SSD, try exact this image: https://dl.armbian.com/bananapi/archive/Armbian_5.69_Bananapi_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.13.7z 0 Quote
arhangel76 Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 I tested that SO too and I do not see my ssd. I installed OMV 4 Banana Pi Pro and everything is ok "sees" my ssd,but after the whole system moves to ssd, they can not do anything from the administration interface. My project is the following: I want to install OMV on a 500Gb ssd, and on microsd just boot. 0 Quote

That's not a problem, but the mystery is why you can't see SSD with Armbian but I can. Even a mechanical drive. 0 Quote
arhangel76 Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Yes it is a mystery, why omv + armbian sees the SSD and the simple armbian without application does not see it? 0 Quote

Still the problem described in http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/armbian-buster-bionic-no-sata-device-detected/10844/2 Just tried again with old bananian image, SATA-device are shown; with Armbian the error “ahci-sunxi 1c18000.sata: PHY power up failed.” is there - even with no device detected. Measured power for sata device shows 5.1 volt, and if a harddisk connects, the device runs up, but no message in dmesg. 0 Quote
bommel Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Hi all, after successful install of Armbian Buster (Armbian_20.02.5_Bananapi_buster_current_5.4.26.img) on my Bananian M1/2?? (has MicroSD) all seems to be good… All updates are there, but: The hard disk i connected to the board via Sata, with additional 5V power cable is not detected, dmesg|grep -i sata says: [ 2.439534] ahci-sunxi 1c18000.sata: PHY power up failed. [ 2.439605] ahci-sunxi: probe of 1c18000.sata failed with error -5 Curious, because changing the Micro SD card to old raspbian / bananian os shows all devices, including the SATA parts. Power is given by original 2.5A supply. Same problem on Armbian Bionic… and also archived images. But only armbian... Just tried again with old bananian image, SATA-device are shown; with Armbian the error “ahci-sunxi 1c18000.sata: PHY power up failed.” is there - even with no device detected. Measured power for sata device shows 5.1 volt, and if a harddisk connects, the device runs up, but no message in dmesg. Thanks Bommel 0 Quote

vlad59 Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 I just updated my Banana pi to latest kernel (5.4.26), SATA is still detected (and it's a good thing as I used `nand-sata-install`). I understand it's not the same test (not a clean install) but at least kernel/dtb/uboot should be the same. Hope this helps. 0 Quote

vlad59 Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 I just did a armbian-config -> System -> Firmware : run apt update & apt upgrade. It went fine.

president_ltd Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 I have the same issue. LeMaker Banana Pi, has been running fine with older Raspbian image.

juge Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Same issue here as presdident_ltd with a LeMaker Banana Pi pro. Sata in old bananian distro is working fine, latest armbian shows the same dmesg output ... ahci-sunxi 1c18000.sata: PHY power up failed.
