I have an Odroid N2 connected to my TV via HDMI, 1920x1080. This works with the Ubuntu 18.04 Mate OS. In order to not block my TV for hours making it useless to my family, I would like to use my PC monitor instead (DVI/VGA, resolution 1680x1050). There are two entries in the file boot.ini regarding the resolution and interface. Currently it is set to the default (1920x1080, HDMI). Is it required to change both values to 1680x1050 and DVI or is it just sufficient to change the resolution ? Of course, I'll loose the sound. The result, however, is a headless server running a Nextcloud instance at home, so sound doe…

Hey guys! Cheap Android tablets based on allwinner chipsets were pretty common back in 2012. Recently I found an tablet equipted with an Allwinner A10 SoC (LY-F1) lying lonely around on my fathers desk. He bought that tablet back then because of the cheap price, but never really used it. Luckily my father also saved an Android 4.0.4 ROM he downloaded from the suppliers website back then, because all websites of this supplier are offline now. After playing around with my OPiZ and seeing how well the sunxi/armbian kernel works, I thounght myself i should try to boot linux from this tablet. At first I tried to pack an image that can be directly writte…

Hello, I've not found an Armbian version which states compatibility with Banana Pi M2 Zero. Is there a compatible version? My first guess would be the Banana PI M2. Is that so? I've tryied to search the forum but all I've found is something about compilation. Please help.

Hi, I have installed Ubuntu Jammy on my Orange pi 5 plus board a while ago, I was wondering if I could upgrade to the new Noble release of armbian for OPI5 plus without having to reinstall the whole image and without breaking the system, I upgraded the kernel to the latest version with no issues, I just wanted to know the correct and safest way of upgrading the Noble release of Armbian. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have questions related with overlay. I'm using Radxa Zero 3W and in the /boot/armbianEnv.txt it has overlay_prefix=rk35xx. I want to use this overlay /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/radxa-zero3-disabled-wireless.dtbo. If I cat /boot/boot.cmd it read the overlays with this line ${overlay_prefix}-${overlay_file}.dtbo. It means if I add overlays=disabled-wireless in /boot/armbianEnv.txt, it will not find the dtbo right? So my questions are, 1. Can I manually edit the overlay_prefix to radxa-zero3? 2. If can then will that has impact on the feature, eg kernel upgrade or anything?

Hello, I am talking strictly about GPIO's value and mode at reset. Under "sudo gpio readall" of H3 core (OPI Lite) I can see that ALL GPIO pins are 0V with different alternative mode functions. Under H3 core (OPI Lite) datasheet 1.2 says that value PC3 and PC4 GPIOs are pulled up? This are in contradiction! Did anyone measured the H3 core GPIOs value? Does H3 core has any pin of pulled-up mode during the reset time of the controller? Please help.

Hello folks, I plan to build a power bank or a ups for my Orange Pi Pc H3. Here is the log dump for more info: http://ix.io/2kMo I have been using my Pi PC as a full fledged desktop thanks to all you Armbian contributers. We have occassional power outages and to counter the issue I'm planning to build an alternate power source. After some online search I found that some of the IOT boards support usb power banks as a power supply, hence would like to know if Pi PC H3 supports this feature or can be programmed? Another option is to use a MoPi board, not sure if Pi PC H3 supports the board. https://pi.gate.ac.uk/pa…

I downloaded the WIP armbian for Orange PI Zero. Everything seems fine that is until the wifi. Tried using nmtui.

Tried to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf nothing Edited /etc/network/interfaces nothing. Anyone here has any solution?

Apologies, the links on how to change the Armbian boot kernel don't lead to any documentation. I am wading through the u-boot documentation tree now, but somebody may have an answer to a simple question. I manage to make my device unbootable by using armbian-config and selecting a development kernel vmlinuz-4.20.0-rockchip64 I have mounted the disk on a ubuntu laptop and I take it u-boot is similar to grub2 in that its not just a case of changing the symlinks Image -> vmlinuz-4.4.167-rockchip64 Uinitrd -> uInitrd-4.4.167-rockchip64 you have to do a grub2-mkconfig command \ grub-update in order to boot strap t…

I found relatively little information concerning AXP209 support on mainline. My targets : - set the battery as 4.35V instead of 4.2V. Datasheet say it's set in REG 33H. Defaut value for register : 0xCX, X being the charge current. if 1200mAh then default value is 0xC9. To change from 4.2 to 4.35V, use EXh (so E9h if you'r using 1200mA) 11001001 to 11101001.) - Remove boot when AC plugged in and boot only when PEK is pressed. Datasheet say it's possible is not clear about how to do it. It may be reg40 bit6. I could not test yet as REG40 strangely reads 0x00 with i2cget. - Set GPIO0 and GPIO1 as ADC. GPIO0 function is REG 90H (see page 40 datasheet). GPIO1…

Hi, I am using Nano Pi Duo2 (Allwinner H3) with latest Armbian OS. My goal is to have all the OS and Data on SD Card Encrypted. It should be secure from hacks. In Developer Guide, LUKS encrypted rootfs needs a key to unlock. In our case we want the device to unlock itself so key has to be stored on the Allwinner H3 securely. Has anybody implemented it on Allwinner H3 ? Is there alternative solution to secure the data on the device.

Hello! I'm new here and i would like to ask a question. I have installed rpimonitor on an Orange PI zero but doesn't work so good (graphs doesn't show) so i decided to uninstall. However I cannot! It removes "some" of it but I still get the rpi monitor screen at 8888 port... I tried sudo apt autoremove rpimonitor sudo apt-get purge rpimonitor Can somebody help me remove it completely? I installed it with this command sudo armbianmonitor -r Thanks!!!

I was using bananian for the last year(and I still do) on a M1 for a operational running webservice. Is it worth the time to switch to armbian? Are there any big differences? I want to switch the board sometime in the future; thats why I'm interested in the more flexible armbian in the first place. But right now I cant find a good alternative to the M1 for my use case.

Hi I've been looking for a live dist for my Orange Pi Plus2, but there really doesn't seem to be one. I installed Armbian with all software I need to a microsd and figured it must be possible to make the whole system read-only somehow. Would someone care to explain how this can be done?

Hey. I have a beer-brewing machine which has software running on an olimex A13-SOM board, that has a capacitive touch panel attached to it. The company (Brewie) did'nt survive, but I really like the machine, and the potential it has. The board is running a very slimmed down linux system, so it's a bit difficult to sniff stuff out, and expand on it - so I want to install a more recent linux system on it, and try making new software for it as a shared project with other people using this machine. I managed to make a functional image using github.com/olimex/build I'm building it using: ./compile.sh BRANCH=next BOARD=olimex-som-a13 KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_C…

Hey guys and a happy new year! I am working on a custom H3 board and I just got the prototypes from the oven. I am now trying to boot armbian on them. And as it's first prototypes I expected problems but I have trouble figuring out. I think it's because of my lack of understanding the boot process. See picture of the board enclosed. It don't tell much but it's nice to have a visual I think. On top right is a battery manager/power input. Right under is AXP8036 that makes 4 buck channels (1.35V for ram, 1.2V sys, 1.3Vcpu and 3.3V) Most is similar with orange pi PC schematic, there is few changes : - crystal and wifi is sa…

Hey, I'm new to armbian/linux and want to use an Orange Pi Zero 2 as a cheap OctoPi alternative. Bare Octoprint is already working, but I don't get the MJPG-Streamer for my usb-webcam to run. The OPiZ2 is running Focal 22.05.3 (5.15.48) and is up to date.

Hi. Instruction and dts on https://github.com/hbars/BPI-M2-Ultra-Berry-i2c-enable

Hello, I'm looking to replace my x86 micro tower with a SBC, to mainly use it as a NAS and media player. On the hardware side, I would like to have a native SATA port (for the NAS hard disk), HDMI output and H.265 decoding (media player), at least 4GB of RAM (to be somewhat future-proof). Bluetooth is a plus to play some retro games Not sure about the OS storage: SD card, eMMC, an hard disk on another SATA port? At the moment I found two boards: the Radxa Rock 3A (with its DIY SATA over USB cable) and Odroid HC4. Both are supported by Armbian, but maybe there is a more recent board that I didn't find? Thanks.

Hi there, Basically I am trying to change the wireless regulatory power for the Opi PC.

When I have done all the proceedure in Opi PC and reboot I try to type " iw reg set BO" ,nothing happened - it still stayed at 00 which is the default country set. It also appears that when I type "iwconfig wlan0 channel 13" it then changed the country to China. And by then I can change the country BO by typing the "iw reg set BO" again. When…

Hi guys! I understood yesterday that the Raspberry Pi 3 is limited to only 2-channel 16-bit PCM audio over HDMI by its ALSA driver. Therefore I'm now looking for another board capable of at least outputting 6x 24-bit LPCM 48 kHz channels. My goal is to build a software DSP, processing multi-channel audio recorded from an USB audio interface. The idea is to capture a home-cinema receiver pre-outs, mix and apply biquads for crossover with the sub and speaker tuning, then handle the clock difference between input and output. A couple threads mention difficulties with 24-bit audio, on legacy kernel and over I2S, where the user Christos observed issues. Do…

For any one interested in software defined radio the OrangePi.pc and Armbian 5.05 software is a killer combination. The extra horsepower of the Allwinner H3 quad core and the clean Armbian Linux implementation give you a great platform for Software defined Radio. The $10 low cost RTL2838 dongle has an enormous amount to offer. But plugging it into a big computer laptop is not always practical It is often better to put the RTL2838 dongle as close to the antenna as possible. This could mean a long USB cable and voltage drop issues. So now you can buy a $9.99 Orange Pi.one and use it as a RTL to ethernet/ opt.wifi extender. You "just" Plug the RTL2838…

I am wondering if anyone else has had any success getting Armbian installed on a Banana Pi M5. I'm definitely a noob at this. After thinking the first M5 I tried it on was perhaps defective, but after trying on a second M5 I had the same result, board will not boot and the Green, Blue and Red lights on the board are all solid (not blinking). I'm afraid I may have bricked both boards. I used bpi-copy to flash the on-board emmc and did not receive any errors in the process. I am unable to boot from emmc or sd card at this point. I tried flashing the SD Card with Debian Bullseye and then on another attempt Ubuntu server (both images had worked previously) but to no ava…

Hi. I am just wondering what the fastest time people have getting from plug in power to command prompt on something like the NanoPi M1 or Neo. I use one of mine as an command line mp3 player (mpg123) and pretty much that;s all it does apart form some gpio buttons. It does not use network. Are there any tips on speeding up boot so playback can commence faster? I have never build a version of Armbian, but I am willing to give it a try - would a custom version be much faster? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Are there any other images floating around that could demo a faster speed? J.

Hello guys, I like armbian very much and i think it's the Best OS for SBC. Will there be an official suported armbian Version for the Odroid n2?

Sorry if the section is wrong.

Hello, I have idea to make a product (based on SBC - Small Board Computer) and sell it on the market, but after searching many forums, websites, youtubes etc I am sure only for one: All what can work on that SBCs stable (I mean stable for production use, for customer product) is... lighting a LED connected to pins... That's all. Anything else could work, but also could not work. Drivers coud be found, but you can not be sure they will work (most of them are in version zero point...). Units could be connected, but it doesn't mean they will work when connected... Crazy. Let me explain more. My project needs a SBC with working camera and working communication (Bluetooth or …

I'm trying to get something beyond Android on a Jide Remix Mini. Originally sold as an "Android PC", it's now unsupported by manufacturer.

I'm not that knowledgeable with image building, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi, which is the correct way to add additional bootargs using /boot/armbianEnv.txt ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

What is the correct way to upgrade from Stretch to Buster? Can I just follow the ordinary Debian upgrade guide, or are there special considerations I should be aware of? Do I need to do a clean install?

Hi, following the documentation, I used nand-sata-install to boot from SD, system on SATA / USBwithout any problems. My backup solution (raspiBackup.sh) now creates a 16GB image for the SD card, even if it is just used to boot. Is it possible to shrink the partition? Thank you René

Currently I have a Tinkerboard S and due to lack of USB WiFi support (Tinkerboard only has 2.4ghz, but 5ghz is necessary), I need another OS or SBC. Support for CSI camera is also required. I've installed Armbian on TinkerBoard and read a couple of threads on this forum. It looks like there is no CSI support for the Tinkerboard and there is no CSI camera support coming (couldn't get the camera to work on Armbian). The Rockchip on the Tinkerboard has the advantage of H264 encoding and very useful. There are other SBC boards with dual band and Rockchip (different Rockchip than the Tinkerboard), like the RockPi or the RockPro, but I can't really find out if the C…

There is a bug (not really a bug...) in the copy process with rsync. Please add the -x option to rsync to copy the root file system to a SATA/USB drive. I have cifs/nfs filesystem from my main (file) server mounted and the installation tries to copy alle the network-drives to the local SATA/USB drive. I was wondering, why the hell the armbian-config says 1020MB to copy (around 3 min.) and after 1 hour it still was running rsync! Yes, it tried to copy hundreds of GB to the local 60GB SATA/USB drive! And... the script removes all extra fstab entries, so all network filesystem mounts are gone! Please, correct this bug!

Hi everyone. I want to disable UI permanent for armbian xenial. through armbian-config works once and after reboot UI still loads

Quick question for the Banana Pro builds. I've tested with stable Armbian Bionic and Stretch. By default DHCP is disabled on eth0, so the following lines must be added to /etc/network/interfaces to get it to work: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp But, official docs (section Common features) state: Is having DHCP disabled for ethernet by default the expected behaviour for that board ?

Orange PI zero ARMBIAN 5.30 Ubuntu server – legacy kernel from zero download On armbian-config If I choose hotspot I receive error: No compatible hostapd driver found

Usually, when I configure SBC devices (in particular headless as the OPI Zero), what I do is to disable NetworkManager (even uninstalling it) and to provide a basic standard configuration on /etc/network/interfaces. However, I am noticing that the NetworkManager it is becoming more and more interleaved on the standard Linux configuration (as it is happening with systemd). In fact, my thought is that NetworkManager it is more a desktop thing than a server one. My question is: What is the right method to configure static servers, having unmovable IP addresses, routes and these types of things, with current and future Armbian releases? If it is nec…

Hi, Have Arduino (microcontroller) clone with CH340 USB/UART (USB serial port). Does armbian support it? regards Peter

Hey guys, one of my 2x OPI3 Allwinner H6 board wont boot from the micro SD card. That rather decrease me to a nowinner instead of an allwinner. But joking apart The red LED over the SD card is enlighted when all cables like keyboard, mouse, HDMI and ethernet are cable-connected. The red LED from the power is only a few seconds red and is switching to green, then the board boots to the pre installed Android.7 OS. The SD card will not be detected. When Android is up, there is a point called "local" at the bottom of the screen When I open "local" I can see "Local Memory" that possibly should be the SD card, Network Neighborhood (CIFS…

I am trying to setup my Odroid-XU4 with Armbian 20.05.2 booting from MMC and no SDCard in slot. It took me a while but finally I found what I needed. Next I've installed OpenMediaVault using armbian-config, that worked well. Within OMV I've tried to setup VLANs which I could define but they didn't work, so I had to take a deeper look into it. I've found that the interface name needed to be reverted back to eth0 since the new naming convention enx<MAC-address without ":"> uses the max available number of characters already: In my case "enx001e06320261" , so if you add a vlan "enx001e06320261.1" the name is to long, it will not start. This could be so…

First of all, I'm a complete novice to Armbian so my apologies if any of the following isn't up to the standard of this board. I've just installed Armbian 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi on a Banana Pi. The same computer was previously running a domain controller under Bananian just fine. Installing Samba on Armbian works fine: r oot@Linux08:~# apt-get install samba attr Installing the packets to operate Samab as a DC also works fine: root@Linux08:~# apt-get install winbind libpam-winbind libnss-winbind libpam-krb5 krb5-config krb5-user However, attempting to provision a new Active Dirctory d…

Hello! Sorry, if my English is bad. I have an Orange PC board. I try Armbian desktop OS, and it works well. But when I try a server version, and install xorg: after installation, startx get me a error "No screen found". Why? Is there another packages needed to install? I use Debian on my desktop system, and X system works well after I install just "xorg" package.

OrangePiZero, Armbian_20.05.1_Orangepizero_buster_current_5.4.43 in RPI they have an option "Boot without waiting for network connection" which to be honest I do not know does what under the hood. What can I use with armbian to get faster boot time? I do not use Ethernet at all, I use wifi but do not want to wait for it to start using my device.

I have compiled Armbian buster with Linux 5.4.32-rockchip64 with additional option in RTC clock and enabled DS1307. Everything is fine, the board can communicate with DS1307, but I am unable to use this /dev/rtc1 as the main hwclock instead on /dev/rtc (it points at /dev/rtc0 which is built in RTC). I have read many forums on Raspberry, this forum but it doesn work. I did: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5346-rtc-ds1307-i2c-for-tinkerboard/ 1) Add "echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-7/new_device" to /etc/rc.local, above the "exit 0" line at the bottom 2) In /lib/udev/hwclock-set comment out the lines below if [ -e /run/systemd/s…

I'm trying to update in Htoo_Armbian and being prompted for my [sudo] password. I almost always use one password for all my Linux devices, so I may have set up a password during initial install of Armbian--don't recall. How do I recover my password, enter a new one w/o reinstalling the whole OS?

I have built my armbian system on a Renegade board, and I need to back up the entire system so that I can copy it to other sdcards. I tried to use Win32DiskImager.exe to read out the system, but the size of the image read out is much larger than the space occupied by the system, which is basically equal to the size of the card. Any good suggestions?

I am trying to make a pair of scripts, guiup & guidown, that will disable/enable the gui at boot and start/stop it now. "systemctl [stop/start] lightdm.service" works for doing it now, but "systemctl [disable/enable] lightdm.service" does not work as expected. Systemctl disable does work, but then when I enable it again and reboot, lightdm does not come up.

Hi, I'm desperately trying to force my ARMBian jessie to install nginx from the following repository: deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/jessie main contrib non-free rpi As armbian does have only nginx 1.6.2 in its repository I would like to force updating nginx and mariadb from the mentioned repository, but whenever I try to apt-get install it, it never installs nginx 1.9.9 but 1.6.2 instead and claims it is the recent one. Although I even uncommented all the other repositories temporarily in my /etc/apt/sources.list Somehow I also could not get it work with pinning, but may be I am doing something wrong.

Helo, I've just installed armbian on an Orange Pi box and using it just for remote VPSs, any easy way to disable the X windows graphical interface from the console ? thanks

Hello everyone, I am trying to build a custom image of Armbian for the Radxa CM3, but I'm a little confused with how to proceed. I thought if I cloned the repo I could modify a similar board configuration file (such as rock-3a.conf) by renaming a copy as radxa-cm3.conf and changing BOOT_FDT_FILE to use my own device tree, but this is where I got lost. I'm not sure where to put the device tree in the cloned repo so that it gets used during the build process. I'm also not sure if I would need to change BOOTCONFIG as well, and if so where to find the file to modify. Any and all advice to point me in the right direction is appreciated! Thanks! …

Ok folks... This very setup was fixed and made working at my job. I tested from the new M$ Terminal while connected to the LAN of my office, extremely satisfied I returned to home and when I connected the HC4 to my router, the "systemd smbd.service" didn't work again (event though at my workplace I rebooted for testing purpose the board several time and Samba had been woking all the time). The Office LAN is most likely managed by a Win Server and is on 192.160.0.X, at home I am connected to a Comcast Cable Router on 10.0.0.X...

Hello, I am trying to compile some firmware to recognize a DVB-T USB device. The compilation process raises an error as following: I was trying to to build kernel headers again: $ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.112-sun8i $ make headers_check $ make headers_install $ make scripts And then I run this command in the source directory: $ make ARCH=arm KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-3.4.112-sun8i this is the output: This is the same error from the compilation process. How can I solve this problem? Any help will be appreciated.

Of the boards supported by Armbian, which do you prefer for multiple audio devices and audio related applications? I need to control two audio streams, in and out each and add information to the streams as appropriate. I would like to use as little external hardware as possible so stereo mic or dual mic input and stereo out would be awesome. I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices, so opinions are definitely welcome here.

Hello, I've been playing on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an I2S audio amplifier and could play music from it. Now I want to add more devices to experiment with multi-room systems. The only other system with I2S support I have here is a NanoPi NEO. It has dedicated I2S pins so that shouldn't be too complicated. I thought. But it doesn't work. 'aplay -l' says "no soundcards found" and 'speaker-test -c2' essentially says the same. 'armbian-config' doesn't have a switch to enable I2S, only SPDIF, which sounds plausible considering that the SPDIF pin is multipurpose while the I2S pins are not. A web search for several terms didn't bring up something useful.…

If i can not change the forgotten password, how can I copy over a new debian OS download to a microsd card without the password? I used to use something like "sudo cp name.OS dev/xx/xx". I haven't used debian in almost a year and forgot most commands, at least partially. I always use the command line in a terminal . Thanks!!

I'm getting some strange behavior with the new image when trying to enable OMV on my T4. Its always installed no problem, but now when I try to do a clean install Im getting the below info. Although after reboot the box is checked in softy to suggest OMV has installed ok, I haven't gone far enough in configuration to see if anything isn't working. Can anyone tell if Im doing something wrong?

Hi, I use Armbian Stretch 4.19 on an OrangePi Zero Plus2 board with 512MB of memory, cat /proc/meminfo shows: MemTotal: 460224 kB I assume that the missing amount of memory is reserved for the GPU. I do not use the GPU, how can I decrease the amount of reserved memory?

When I power down H3-devices I see quite different results. Normally I use 'sudo poweroff' which should behave like 'shutdown -P'. I guess the command was successfull when the last message on the serial console reads "Power down." This works with Legacy Images. Power consumption drops significantly. On the NEO and OPi Zero to somewhat 150 mW, NEO Air 250 mW. To my surprise the Orange Pi One drops even to 0 mW. Question 1: Why is that? Is it different voltage regulators, or are parts of some boards purposefully kept powered on? Testing Mainline Images things are more simple: I never even reach the "power down"-target, the sys…

Hi everyone, I am trying to set up the Access Point on my Orange Pi Zero running Armbian_20.08.1_Orangepizero_focal_current_5.8.5. I am using the onboard wifi module. I have tried the next approaches: 1) I have tried https://orangepiweb.es/wifi-access-point.php and I can see my board as access point, but I can't connect. (I am receiving AP-STA-DISCONNECTED after handshake complete) 2) I have tried configuring it by sudo armbian-config but dnsmasq fails to start, so I can see my board as access point, but I can't connect.

Hi! After update to kernel 5.15.75 via apt upgrade, boot fails. Though I can flash an older image, I would prefer trying to recover existing setup and rollback to a previous kernel.

On one machine I forgot to "pin" (apt-mark hold) custom kernel pkgs ... and updated :-/ but no reboot yet. This leads to these 3 questions: Q1 How to recover ? Pull from back-up of sd-card image ?

Hello, I have an Odroid N2+ on Armbian 23.02 Bullseye. I wish to upgrade to Bookworm. Initially I expected to do the upgrade after the update to Armbian 23.05 via apt but I tend to think we will have directly 23.08 without 23.05 I won't ask for the date when we will have 23.05 but has someone upgraded to Bookworm with Armbian 23.05? I know this kind of upgrade is not officially supported but as I made it from Buster to Bullseye I have the same project for Bookworm. But I am not sure Bookworm and Armbian 23.05 are really compatible.

Next cloud installed but when I enter my local address as it says on softy it give me not found error, tried http and https, idk what's the problem, also I get an error when I run sudo apt-get upgrade, image included

From time to time I want to change the SDcards on my boards, for one reason or another. So, in order to transfer the Armbian filesystem I dd from the first sdcard and later dd to the second, a very slow process. I think it would be faster to: Partition and mkfs the new sdcard Copy/tar/rsync the armbian filesystem But no board won't boot that sdcard. So I'm missing a crucial step, maybe it has something to do with u-boot?

We have an H2+ based board that is very similar to the Orange Pi Zero. Basically it is equivalent to a Zero board with a different Wi-Fi chip and adding an eMMC chip. The SD card is on the SDC0 bus and the eMMC chip is on the SDC2 bus. The SDC1 bus isn't connected. We have been using the stock Orange Pi Zero Jessie images on SD card and they work pretty well (thanks to you guys for your hard work) We want to put a Jessie image on the eMMC but we are having trouble. First we tried the nand-sata-install script but it wouldn't run without the eMMC device. We edited the lib/config/fex/orangepizero.fex file and changed sdc_used for mmc2 to …
