Flash dhivael's SPI uboot (risky)

[belfastraven]

Thank you very much guys for the help. It just seems that it only supports Manjaro. Neither Armbian not Ubuntu boots. Armbian has the boot.scr generated, but Ubuntu does not. Can I create it manually?

Yes you can but it might be that Ubuntu uses extlinux.conf instead of boot.scr. Which is perfectly ok. Maybe even better since you can do whatever changes you want to the extlinux.conf and you don't have to generate anything,

In case you want to create boot.scr you have to create a text file (eg. boot.txt) with all the stuff you want. And then:

Code:

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -n "U-Boot boot script" -d boot.txt boot.scr

Armbian should have both a boot.cmd file and also an armbianEnv.txt file.   The Armbian boot.scr is generated from the boot.cmd,  but many changes can be made by editing the armbianEnv.txt file.  See the armbian Documentation for more info.  You might just want to try writing the armbian build to an sd card, seeing if you can boot that way, and if so, using armbian-config to enable boot from SPI the NVME.
