ok so i need to flash the same image two times to the mmc? What should i put in as “targetdevice” for the second “dd”?
During partition-configuration: https://wiki.fw-web.de/doku.php?id=en:bpi-r2:uboot#change_partition-configuration_of_emmc i noticed that the “emmc” commands are not working - so i used “mmc” commands instead - is that also ok? I did the partition-configuration in uBoot - is that correct?
I tried it again, and it’s booting from MMC. But now i get this error during bootup:

### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###emmc was in older uboot,in newer it is mmc…it is right,so you’ve booted.
You have r2 right? Afair uboot is same binary so i wonder why it does not find devicetree which is part of the binary.
Have you used the emmc preloader (boot0)? This is different to sdcard
Yes it’s a R2
i used this preloader from the manual: https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-files/blob/master/SD/100MB/BPI-R2-EMMC-boot0-DDR1600-0k-0905.img.gz
anything else i can check?
please try one of the last 2
e.g. this:
early preloader does not allow larger uboot binary, i do not remember the error appearing there, but current uboot for r2 contains usb and sata and so it will be larger than on first days when i’ve wrote the manual
Thanks for your help Frank! Now it is working.
one last thing: when i booted from SD, i needed to press the power-on button for more than 10 seconds. Now i just need to press it for 2-3 Seconds. Is there any reason why SD needs so long?
And is it possible to bridge the power on button? So that it will autostart like a raspberry pi? I read somewhere else, that this can cause other issues.
this is a hardware-limitation, that boards needs power for more than 10 seconds to keep on. you can bridge it or add additional power on otg port. but for first you need to make sure that you do not have mtk-pmic-keys active as they look if powerbutton is pressed and then trigger reboot/poweroff
