Hi,

 

I built a fresh Armbian Image from scratch (using Armbian build system). After that I used Etcher to burn .img file to SD card. Everything works great, but U-Boot shows, that there is no environment. I used saveenv and fixed a problem. Then I installed Armbian into internal memory (eMMC), same message about environment, I tried fix it same way, using saveenv, but I get only  an error message and infinite loop. Screenshot attached. How I can fix that?

 

 

UPD: My board - Orange Pi Zero Plus 2

 

Kind regards

... which uses new u-boot 2018.06 where boot environment is/must be saved to a file system. I think the location of env file is hard encoded ... well, you find a bug.

 

If you have time, check if https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/compilation.sh#L157 changing to 

CONFIG_ENV_EXT4_DEVICE_AND_PART="auto:auto"

helps.

Igor, thank you for your reply. 

I will check it right now.

Igor, I tried to do that, but currently it shows me an error with SD card also. 

I will try to move it on to eMMC, but it will not work, in my opinion.

 

Update:

Same with eMMC

"auto" is not implemented for the device identifier, only for the partition number.

Though in theory it is possible to use (sunxi specific) boot device ID from the SPL header, but unless someone writes and tests this we are stuck with fixed device IDs.

May you tell more about your idea?
