RE: Booting from eMMC - poVoq -  08-15-2020
 
 
Anyone had some luck booting the official Armbian focal (20.04) images from an emmc? 
I am following this guide: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10432&pid=74850 and it works great for SD cards.

I just received my Pine64-LTS version with 64GB eMMC. I am having major issues trying to boot from the emmc. 
I have tried the following  
 
Downloaded the images from  
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases 
 
mainly  
 
jessie-minimal-pine64-0.7.19-118.img.xz and xenial-minimal-pine64-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.img.xz 
 
1. I then wrote the image to SD card and booted the Pine, which is fine. 
2. Followed the instruction to  
 
sudo ./pine64_update_kernel.sh 0.7.19 
sudo ./pine64_update_uboot.sh 0.7.19 
sudo ./pine64_update_package.sh 0.7.19 
 
3. executed sudo ./pine64_install........to_emmc.sh xenial-minimal 0.7.19 
 
4. Tried setting the following 
emmc_compat=on 
emmc_compat=150mhz 
emmc_compat=200mhz 
 
5. removed the SD 
6 booted with eMMC 
 
I get nothing. 
 
Does the boot take very long as compared to SD (i have left it for few hours)? I get nothing. 
I have also tried to burn the above image directly to the emmc without any luck. 
 
Is there something I am missing? 
 
Thanks

Did you try a reboot beetwen point 2 and 3? 
 
2. Update SD 
2.5 Reboot 
3. Install to eMMC  
 
I just bought an LTS with 32G eMMC. 
I also bought the "USB adapter for eMMc Module" for $4.99 
(It allows you to burn an eMMc on your desktop computer just like an SD card) 
I burned my eMMc using this, then put eMMc in the LTS. 
Booted first time.

Your post is quite old, so I bet the problem is solved by now. I used freeBSD, got it from their website. They have a build for pine64-lts. 
I would recommend that after you burn to eMMc that you look at the eMMc from your computer to see if it "looks right". 
 
Like I said, I'm sure by now you have solved the problem, so I won't give a really long explanation. 
 
(I'm sure you know about "unpacking" an "filename.img.xz" file into an .img file.) 
 
Ian
