Booting from eMMC

[saileshrajk]

Hi,
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
Sailesh

it looks like you are using the wrong image. lts boards have to use pine64 lts/sopine, or pine64/sopine and the lts or sopine will be in the image name. because of the memory on the lts they have to use the same image as sopine modules.

Did you try a reboot beetwen point 2 and 3?

2. Update SD
2.5 Reboot
3. Install to eMMC

My guess is pine64/pine64 for the LTS and SOPine

But having same problem of booting from emmc: it's not working.
Although log indicate that pine64_install_to_emmc.sh script uses the right sopine image:

Code:

Using https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/linux-build/releases/download/0.7.19/xenial-minimal-sopine-bspkernel-0.7.19-118.img.xz

Is someone got any idea?

I have FreeBSD booting from eMMC.. needed to patch the driver a bit to make it work stable.
Still not 100% because I need to implement 2 more clocks to get more the 52Mhz out of it.

I will post an image shortly that can boot from PXE, SD or 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.
