Hi all

I made an upgrade to 8.21 today on NanoPC T4 to I believe 8.21.1  
After an upgrade it prompted me to reboot it which I did.  
The system does not boot now and I have no ssh access

```auto
ssh: connect to host npc port 22: Connection refused

```

OS is on built-in emmc disk  
I believe backup was done automatically as part of the upgrade? If not, I believe there is an older backup there.

How do I go about fixing it?  
Ideally without destroying any data in the process i.e. configuration and data in docker containers.  
I don’t think anything comes up on HDMI output but I will try again in the eventing.

UPDATE:  
Nothing on the screen connected via HDMI  
Green LED next to the red power LED blinks periodically twice,

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks  
Daniel

Booted NanoPC from SD card using Debian.  
Mounted the emmc at /media/emmc

Looks like files are there.  
How to find why this is not booting?

Best would be to connect a serial adapter to be able to check where boot process stuck.

Unfortunately I don’t have a serial adapter.

I’ve burned lates dietpi image to sdcard and it does not boot, black screen.  
I did the same using the previous image from [https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/old/DietPi\_NanoPCT4-ARMv8-Bookworm.7z](https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/old/DietPi_NanoPCT4-ARMv8-Bookworm.7z)  
and it starts installation process, visible on the screen.  
It looks to me HDMI output is not working on the new version.  
Is this the same as  
[No HDMI output after 8.21.1 update on Orange Pi 5 - #7 by Pr3259](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/no-hdmi-output-after-8-21-1-update-on-orange-pi-5/17785/7)

I’m going ahead with wiping it out.  
I’ve launched debian of microsd, mounted emmc and copied it to external drive sda connected via usb.

I’ve managed to create dietpi image and clone it to emmc which is not straightoforward as I am on Mac.  
Diet pi boots of emmc now with v 8.21.1 but

- there is nothing on HDMI screen
- external USB drive is not visible when connecting via USB3 but works on USB2

when connected to usb2

> So this is the relevant error. Nasty that Armbain’s image is so much older and their APT repo frozen, so it takes long for their users to recognise issues with recent build system and/or linux/u-boot sources … Since this kernel is used on many SBCs and solves a lot of issues, I’m not keen to downgrade for a single USB port of so far 2 SBCs. But I’ll do and upload a build to testing dir to at least assure it is really delated to some change between these kernel versions.

I also have this error in the log

Still no luck. No USB3 disk detected, even after reboot.  
Any ideas what to do next?

There is another kernel update available, but it has not been synced to the APT mirrors yet. I’m also still waiting for a report at Armbian. Can you test one of their images and see whether those have the same issue? [Nanopc T4 – Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/nanopc-t4/)

They use the same kernel, so should be the same issue. There are “rolling release” images with the newer 6.1.53 kernel I am awaiting to be synced across APT mirrors as well.

Keep continue discussion in this older + longer topic here: [RK3399 HDMI output and USB 3.0 not working with Linux 6.1](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/rk3399-hdmi-output-and-usb-3-0-not-working-with-linux-6-1/17776)

So it is currently Radxa and FriendlyELEC SBCs with RK3399 SoCs affected, since Linux 6.1.50, and not just DietPi, but the Armbian images themselves as well.
