I've searched the forum for a solution to my problem. Here's a quick overview of my setup:
Rockpro64 4GB in a NAS case
eMMC 64GB module
PCI-E SATA-II controller
1x 3.5" sata harddrive connected
12V/5A power supply
Now hear this, I tried several images (OMV, Armbian, Bionic and Stretch) all show the same behavior.
The first time I boot the system all goes well. I then configure the network, install some packages like bridge-utils, vlan, smartmontools, mdadm and ats for fancontrol. When I poweroff the system it shuts down like it is supposed to. Nothing strange here..
And then when I want to boot it again, nothing happens. The amber led on the ethernet interface blinks and also the white led on the front of the board flashes in a random order. The ethernet leds don't become solid like they do at a successfull boot.
Sometimes, if I leave the power disconnected for several hours up to 24hrs.. It boots up normal, this thing is driving me mad.
I am using solely original parts from the pine64 shop. What am I missing here?
Am I missing something or is this a u-boot/kernel problem?
I know this might sound really stupid but: How exactly do you start up your RockPro64? Just by plugging it in or do you also press the power button? I was struggling with this issue as well at first until I realized that by default you are supposed to press the PWR button for >1 second to start the board (see http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/ROCKPro64_Main_Page).
