BPI-R4:Cannot save to eMMC

[takezoh]

Dear All,

I am trying booting from eMMC following “Getting Started BPI-R4 | BananaPi Docs”.

 echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
dd if=bl2_emmc-r4.img of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0
dd if=mtk-bpi-r4-EMMC-20240620.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
 mmc bootpart enable 1 1 /dev/mmcblk0

But booted device cannot save any files. How do I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance,

[frank-w]

there are many posts regarding this…switch to mainline openwrt

[BPI-R3] (SOLVED) booted in emmc but settings not saved

Hello need some help here. I just got my r3 today, followed guide here to boot EMMC. 1st runing was ok, but all settings didn’t saved after reboot. I re-do the process to burn EMMC again, this time I got into loop and can’t enter any command. re-try again and got same errors. Any idea to solve this folks? noticeable error messages were: booting Loading Environment from MMC… unable to read ssr unable to read ssr *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment after system is up, non-stop loop …

But wipefs is not installed, and opkg update was failed.

I tried to install from wipefs.ipk from local disk, but it was failed too.

I have got my BPI-R4 yesterday. Then I have tried to flush the official emmc image to emmc. I think, Nand image is not dirty. I don’t know what I did wrong.
