Any chance of getting a legacy image for the A10-lime so that the 4 GB NAND will show up and the /root/nand-sata-install script will work?

 

In the meantime, I'll try the image for Lime2, but I'm pretty sure that one is based on the A20 chip.

 

Thanks,

Yes, I'll add support soon. I am getting one A10 board, then I'll try to fix the kernel. Without an actual hardware is a bit hard.

Hi,

 

I just tried the current images (Armbian_5.14_Lime-a10_Debian_jessie_3.4.112) without success on a A10-lime with NAND.

 

I can't see the /dev/nandX devices. I also tried to build image (and kernel) using your build tool, and activating NAND devices: no more success.

 

u-boot does not see the NAND either.

 

Is it still not supported ? or did anyone succeeded in making it work ?

It's disabled in config. Enable it and it should work.

Success is hidden in details...

 

Thank you, I'll test this as soon as I can.

 

EDIT:

 

It ... just worked !

 

Thanks a lot

Hi again,
 
So the kernel is fine, but apparently not the u-boot bootloader. I can boot from SD card fine. But after installation on the NAND, booting from it gives me a ** Unrecognized filesystem type ** error :
 
 

CPU:   Allwinner A10 (SUN4I)
Board: Cubieboard
I2C:   ready
DRAM:  512 MiB
NAND:  0 MiB
MMC:   SUNXI SD/MMC: 0
Card did not respond to voltage select!
MMC init failed

** Unrecognized filesystem type **
** File not found boot/uEnv.txt **
** File not found uEnv.txt **
** File not found /boot/script.bin **
** Unrecognized filesystem type **
** File not found /script.bin **

Calling ''nand info'' from u-boot prompt gives no response. I presume I miss a configuration in u-boot, but I cannot figure out where.

 

I am surprised that the Board detected is Cubietruck although I am running a OLinuXino A10-Lime.

 

This part will be harder to solve since we lost track to correct NAND u-boot sources long time ago. I can't rebuild boot loader with NAND support ... I have two binaries, one is for Cubieboard A10, the other is for Cubietruck. I can boot from NAND: Cubieboard1,2,3,Olimex Lime 1,2, Pcduinos and Oranges A20 from NAND. I guess Lime A10 has some differentiates? Huh

 

Check if you have nand-part tools installed.

 

Before you gave up, do the rescue scenario - flash NAND with Phoenix tools and install once again.
