September 1, 20242 yr Hello folks! I was experimenting with all ARM images (Manjaro, Fedora, Arch, etc) i could find to test with the Orange Pi 4 LTS SBC board, and when i was about to return to armbian, it didnt boot anymore, not even from the SD card flashed with a proper image. I' currently using UART USB to TTL debug device to see whats happening with the board and it returns this: NOTE: [At the moment of this screenshot the board was with a SD card flashed with the default orange pi debian server image] Does anyone know how to reset this board and get it booting again from any ARM images? Would really appreciate any help on this to discover what i did mess up... Thanks in advance Edited September 1, 20242 yr by D_el
September 9, 20242 yr Author Thanks! No, i did not. And don’t think i am skilled enough to physically remove the emmc from the board without compromising it lol Is there a way to erase all emmc contents from another machine? like, making the storage being recognized from another machine and erasing it via terminal? Idk... or a set of hard reset buttons?
September 9, 20242 yr Is the emmc soldered on the board? I don't know this board in particular but it might be simply just sit in a socket.
September 9, 20242 yr You need to find out how to put this SoC into Maskrom mode ... connecting eMMC clock pin to ground will force it to boot U-boot from SD card. Check forum if someone write instructions for this board.

Here you can read some background.
