OrangePI PC Plus. Starting lubuntu OS from EMMC

soierr

Hello everyone,

Here is the problem I've encountered while trying to load the subject OS from emmc.

So what was did before.

1. Downloaded proper OS image right from PC Plus section

http://www.orangepi.org/download ... a1cb32b7ca0aa3.html

(Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePi_PCPlus_v0_8_0.img.xz)

2. Installed OS on external mmc card.

3. According to readme.txt in /home/orangepi/burn-image-to-emmc

I've done the following steps, here in details

        a. sudo dd bs=4M if=Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePi_PCPlus_v0_8_0.img.img of=/dev/mmcblk1

        b. reboot

        c. sudo dd if=u-boot-sun8iw7p1.bin of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1024 seek=16400

        d. Remove sd card, reboot. After reboot I get the following error while starting the OS

The problem is with mmcblk2p2. I have no partition like that. It seems some problem with u-boot script which I unable to change.

My partitions are mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2

Having loaded u-boot shell, I've discovered that variable mmc_root has the following value:

mmc_root=/dev/mmcblk2p2

which is wrong.

So I needed to change that, then perform

run setargs_mmc boot_normal

And the os loaded OK.

Obviously, I can't do it every time my system starts up. But I can't store this fixed parameter either.

Probably, there is another image with correct u-boot script.

As to solution, I'd rather not to install another os like armlinux or build linux from source.

Is there any solution with lubuntu ? Probably newer image release ?

Thanks in advance.
