Hello,

 

I just started a new SD card with 21.02.3 Buster on a OrangePi PC+.
In armbian-config I can't install on eMMC: it says nand-sata-install: command not found.

 

thanks

Found out by chance:
You have to be root, that is log with root account or type "su -" (not "su"), nor "sudo armbian-config".

I'm a noob, I recently found out in plain x86 Debian that "su" is not equal to "su -".

I think, tell me if I'm wrong, that's something recent in Debian world. It didn't use to be like that. Should it be pointed out somewhere? It can be misleading to newbies.

I'm trying to install Armbian focal on EMMC (on a S905W) and I am following this tutorial.

 

When I type this:

 

sudo ./install-aml.sh

 

I get the following error:

 

UNABLE TO FIND YOUR EMMC OR YOU ALREADY RUN FROM EMMC!!

So I had a look at this page and I tried:
 

nand-sata-install

 

But I get this:

 

-bash: nand-sata-install: command not found

 

I've already tried with apt-get update / upgrade, as well as trying with root privileges, nothing really changes.

 

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Just a little update on this: I found a solution. I was able to successfully install it to the emmc following what Edoardo said here:

I had this problem too, thank the user B1oHazard I solved it. The problem is the NAND frequency in the .dtb... some x96 mini have a different nand. To fix it, you need to change the .dtb file:

 

You need to unpack your dtb file into dts via device-tree-compile tool. Install it in linux ubuntu using 

sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler

decompile the dtb file:

dtc -I dtb -O dts -o meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dts meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb

edit this file searching for "mmc@74000" block

max-frequency = <0x5f5e100>;

5f5e100 in hex = 100000000 in dec

edit it to 0x2faf080, 50000000 in dec

compile with

dtc -I dts -O dtb -o meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dts

 

for  Armbian_20.10_Arm-64_focal_current_5.9.0.img I prepared the file for you (see attachment)

meson-gxl-s905w-p281.dtb
