just a quick question , has any one had any success in booting from an emmc on a Rockpro64 using armbian (buster or bullesye) on the 5.* kernels ?
from what I've read ( and content is a bit thin on the ground) it seems like this isn't working yet, is this still the case?
I have never been able to get an Armbian package to boot on my RockPro64 if the eMMC was installed. I have seen some folk who may have had success but I wasnt sure their reports covered precisely my use case: I came to the conclusion it may work with different eMMC sizes/brands to mine.
With Arch (for Pinebook pro and adjusted for RockPro64 dtb) it works fine for me.
- ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
- PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
- PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
