I have a good news : I success to install the different version of Armbian on the eMMC of my OPI5 Plus . The step I follow : install any OS version on the device using the SD card (only way that was working at the beginning to install an OS). It will help to install the other versions in your eMMC use a computer to connect (by SSH) to your device : it will to facilitate the work download the OS version requested from your computer then transfer it on your device (OPI5 Plus for me). You can use filezilla to transfer it or any command line. The file is located on /home (but anywhere should work) for the following step you can use the user manual chapter "Using the dd command to burn the Linux image into eMMC" check that your OS image file is under /home and do : cd /home/ ls you should have at least the file you transfer : Armbian_X.X.X_Orangepi5-X_.img check the node of your eMMC ls /dev/mmcblk*boot0 | cut -c1-12 You should have : /dev/mmcblk1 This node, it is what you will use in the next step . Then use dd command to clear the eMMC, and don't forget to change de node (mmcblk1) if it is different sudo dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1 count=1000 status=progress sudo sync then use the dd command to burn the linux image transfered into the eMMC, Put the correct name of your image after if = Put the correct node name after of = sudo dd bs=1M if=Armbian_X.X.X_Orangepi5-X_.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 status=progress Then pull out your SD card and restart your device : it should start the OS from the eMMC. I success this installations way with 2 versions : - Armbian_24.11.2_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_current_6.12.0_minimal.img - Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.99_minimal.img I have no tested with and Orange pi 5 B, but I believe it can work because you have the same process in the user manual Vik

Hello, Which version of armbian did you success to flash straight to EMMC ? Thank you.

Thank you for your quick feedback. I got : sudo i2cdetect -l i2c-0 i2c rk3x-i2c I2C adapter i2c-1 i2c rk3x-i2c I2C adapter i2c-3 i2c rk3x-i2c I2C adapter i2c-4 i2c rk3x-i2c I2C adapter i2c-7 i2c rk3x-i2c I2C adapter sudo get-edid | parse-edid This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun. Attempting to use i2c interface No EDID on bus 0 No EDID on bus 1 Looks like no busses have an EDID. Sorry! I'm sorry nothing was successful. Maybe try some other arguments if you played with them, or send an email to Matthew Kern <pyrophobicman@gmail.com>. Partial Read... Try again I have changed the cable, but it is the same. I will check on the patch if I can deploy it.

Hello, I have the same issue using a Orange Pi 4 (no LTS) : since I have done the update the HDMI doesn't work, but I can reach my OPI 4 using the SSH. Is it a way to fix the issue / activate the HDMI port by any command ? I believe the patch shared is only for the LTS version. Before I updated I had the version : Armbian 23.8.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.1.50-current-rockchip64 After I updated I had the version : Armbian 24.5.1 Bookworm with Linux 6.6.32-current-rockchip64 And the armbianmonitor -u result : https://paste.armbian.com/werugeguso Thanks Viken
