Hello all,

 

I setup an orangepi plus2 with Armbian_22.08.2_Orangepiplus_bullseye_current_5.15.69.img

I follow tuto and it worked with boot on SD card.

I run nand-sata-install

Then, I reboot.

I was in safe mode and try format emmc

Then I reboot again

Since, I have only green light.

I connect to COM port and see that :

Resetting CPU ...

resetting ...

After resetting, it loops and again reset without any stop !

I don't understand "Loading Environment from FAT... ** No valid partitions found **"

My SD card is Armbian_22.08.2_Orangepiplus_bullseye_current_5.15.69.img flashed with etcher

 

Please, help found how to escape that caveat !

Many thanks

Any idea ?

Anyone can help find a solution to CPU ressetting continuously !

Try some older image to see if older u-boot supports your eMMC well. Its also possible of eMMC failure.

I try Armbian_5.30_Orangepiplus_Debian_jessie_default_3.4.113 which is very old, but seems to be the first one !

I works "almost"

I still have a green light but also a blinking red light !

 

On serial port I see :

Debian GNU/Linux 8 orangepiplus ttyS0

orangepiplus login:

 

The problem is that

I try login with orangpei... But nothing happens (inside putty, keyboard has no effect on COM3)

I plug HDMI, witout any success : screen remains black

I plug usb keyboard, the same : impossible to push orangepi login !

 

How can I make it back to normal life ?

Many thanks

 

Any solution to be able to use a keyboard to login ?

Did you try to login using SSH over network connection? I use serial ports only in case if something wrong with network.

@francoispe, thanks for an idea to connect to board serial port to check what is going on during boot (see here).
