I just installed it, it boots from sd, usb is working!!! Now another noob question: how do I install it on the emmc. I tried overwriting the partitions mmcblk2p5 for boot and mmcblk2p6, no success. I tried dd-ing the sd card to mmcblk2, and I get this:
U-Boot SPL 2022.10spacemit-dirty (Dec 05 2024 - 14:13:45 +0000) [ 0.175] DDR type LPDDR4x [ 0.184] lpddr4_silicon_init consume 9ms [ 0.185] Change DDR data rate to 2400MT/s mmc_load_image_raw_sector: mmc block read error mmc_load_image_raw_sector: mmc block read error SPL: Unsupported Boot Device! SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
ERROR ### Please RESET the board
Any advice?
Unfortunately mara’s irradium does not boot, bootloader stating it can’t find the kernel image.
as stated at the download page it is supposed to run only from sd card - i did not look into booting from emmc yet at all
good luck and best wishes - hexdump
