Bad EMMC

[jbk]

"Are you talking about to create my own installer with this patch? ;(
Will be patched in the next installer release?"

It's more a way of replacing parts of an existing install so that they work with the 64G sandisk module. The kernel just needs copying the new image into /boot and linking it to /boot/Image. Unfortunately updating the uboot executable is a bit more complicated and needs the dd command as shown in the script. Agreed it would be a lot easier if there was an install image that incorporated the changes. That will happen eventually, it's just a question of time to finalise the changes and then getting them to ayufan and/or the Armbian team. The main thing is that supporting the new cards is possible.

I received a email support that says sandisk emmc module will be patched to pinebook on the next two weeks :-P

Sandisk is only supported for Rock64 at the moment.

Excellent, that should be easier than messing around with my kernel/uboot

The Sandisk eMMC module on Pinebook already works and thanks to ayufan.

Please download build 0.7.19 from build ayufan github 0.7.19 and boot from SD.

Using terminal and issue follow command:

sudo install_to_emmc.sh xenial-mate 0.7.19

Thanks jbk on helping to figure out how we should fix that

Once you run Pinebook, try to edit `/boot/uEnv.txt` and enable `emmc_compat=150mhz` mode which bumps the eMMC performance from usual 80MB/s to around 120MB/s.

This fix also helps with 16GB/32GB performance.

Thanks for the mention Ayufan

Hacking things around for testing like I did is one thing, but having the discipline to provide changes in a way that others can benefit from is a whole lot more work. You have my respect! Congrats and thanks on getting this fixed.

As a new open source platform, Pinebook development is an ongoing process and represents a great opportunity to get involved with computing on a different level

Thanks, jbk. Your beer is on me.

Thanks a lot for your time and work.

I’ll try tomorrow

I tried this https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-b...118.img.xz

and pinebooks don't boot from sd ;(

I used pine64 installer to flash it.

I think I don't have idea to do it correctly ;(
