Hello, i am gonna make my h96 max rk3318 to NAS and download manager, so that's why i am going to install armbian,

**my question is there a way to install armbian using usb?** cause i do not have sd card and not gonna buy it cause  i already have so many broken sd card, so i think sd card is not reliable for me that is why i am gonna using usb flashdrive.

 

My thought about how am i gonna do this, is using android tool to wipe the mmc and then making bootable armbian on usb flashdrive.

But i am not sure if the u boot gonna recognise the usb flash drive.

 

Sorry if my english is bad

Armbian CSC rk3318 from @jock says:

 

• OTG USB 2.0 port (also as boot device!)

@maka so there is no special uboot to change it? Cause i watched on i12bretro he is flashing Rk3288 and using special uboot

 

Thanks for the response

All you need is in this thread

CSC Armbian for RK3318/RK3328 TV box boards

And the special uboot is there.

The Multitool does not boot / How to burn image directly on eMMC:

 

Some boards have the sdcard attached to an auxiliary (called also sdmmc_ext or external) controller which is not the common one.

Forum findings declare that those boards are not able to boot from sdcard with stock firmware and they neither do in maskrom mode: the stock firmware always boots even if you put the multitool on sdcard.

 

In such case, burning images directly on eMMC is the only way to have a working Armbian installation.

You can follow these instructions by @fabiobassa to burn images directly on eMMC:

You have a chance to brick you device so if you don't understand something don't go ahead.

@maka thanks bruh, if there a safe method for usb tell me too
