Hi, 

I am trying to boot image Armbian_20.02.1_Nanopi-r1_buster_current_5.4.20.img, without success ...

First, i am using following line to create SD ...

ansible@solo:/mnt/backup$ sudo dd if=./Armbian_20.02.1_Nanopi-r1_buster_current_5.4.20.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M status=progress ;sudo sync

After connected my tty on internal pins on PCB, it is possible to connect to this tty and look at the first u-boot log ...

But not possible to have the login (!).

As a result, after umounting SD and modifying code in in /boot/armbianEnv.txt (verbosity=7), then following booting is always the same...

Hi, 

Please find log file on nanopir1 and Armbian. Not possible for me to  boot the target with a tty connected on internal chip.

How long do you wait? There is also more recent image on the download. Did you try that too?

If you DD, you don't know if your SD was written properly.

Igor, 

Thanks for your reply.

I have tested many releases from Armbian, always with the same CLASS 10 from SANDISK ultra. It seems there is no issue for this point of view.

 

Regards
