General Discussion

For those interested in having dietpi onto their odroid-u3 SBC without going through the pain to install Debian and then remove the bloat, here’s Bookworm DietPi v8.14 running on up to date Linux kernel v6.1.11.

Enjoy :slight_smile:

@hexdump0815 thanks for creating this. I cannot get my U3+ to boot the dietpi image on eMMC; however, it does boot with an SD card. Any suggestions?

Boot from SD, root partition on the EMMC…

Thanks for the response, how do I get the root partition onto the eMMC? Do you mean moving the /mnt/dietpi_userdata?

I was looking into this solution but the script fails.

as I came across an Odroid U3 I was hoping to put DietPi on it (I have a Pine A64 with DietPi as music server running), so I was happy with this solution. thanks to @gociii and the others for creating this.

@cellblock1138 did you get the eMMC boot working? because obviously i’d like to have the OS running from the eMMC

I came across these instructions to get Arch Linux on the eMMc to boot:

eMMC Module Creation

  1. Attach the eMMC module to the micro SD adapter, and plug that into your computer.

  2. Follow the above steps to install Arch Linux ARM, and boot the board with the eMMC still attached to micro SD adapter, plugged into the SD slot in the board.

  3. Re-flash the bootloader to the protected boot area of the eMMC module:

    cd /boot
./sd_fusing.sh /dev/mmcblk0

  4. Power off the board:

    poweroff

  5. Remove the micro SD adapter, detach the eMMC module, and connect the eMMC module to its connector on the board.

  6. Re-apply power the board.
