Booting from eMMC
#11
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?...&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
Sincerely,

Ian James
