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.
interesting ,
I did consider arch for the rockpro64 as I use arch on my laptop , I was unsure if I would have issues as I use it as a NAS Server with several docker services . I know arch can be used for a server but I wasn't sure if this would have issues with the pcie card or getting the fan to work that sort of thing.
Ive also just noticed that Armbian might be dropping support for rockpro64 so I might have to consider an alternative earlier than i thought
