TLDR: Is there a support for booting from eMMC on Rock Pi S?
Hi, I recently got myself a Rock PI S with onboard Emmc which I am planning on using in a lot of projects. The Diet Pi OS worked perfectly from SD but since I want to deploy it without using SD, I wanted to use the emmc. The official images (Debian, Ubuntu) are huge, so I dont want to use them, but they, after flashing to emmc, booted well. Unlike diet pi and armbian. Is anyone using diet pi on onboard emmc?
Thanks in advance.
Nasty, I just migrated our image from using the old Radxa kernel/bootloader to using the new Armbian one, but looks like there are move caveats than missing Bluetooth support. I’ll have a look into the Armbian forum and give you instructions about how to upgrade to “edge” kernel when I’m back home.
I agree, would be great to be able to use the NAND on Rock Pi S.
when flashing dietpi using these instructions, but the dietpi image (DietPi_ROCKPiS-ARMv8-Bullseye.img), the boot fails with:
@MichaIng let me know if I can provide any more information that would be helpful to you. I am happy to help but I would not know where to start debugging this myself
Thanks for the tip, unfortunately I tried that already and failed
I think the issue is, that DietPi does not recognise the nand flash.
The tutorial fails in the first step…
the only drive recognized by lsblk is the sd-card:
dietpi@mew:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0 179:0 0 14.6G 0 disk
└─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 14.5G 0 part /
Yes exactly. I hope that rockchip64 current moves to v6.1 soon for several other reasons. On ROCK Pi S in particular, it also adds support for overclocking, lower voltage, CPUfreq and/or CPU temperature. I think it was CPUfreq: With current 5.15, the clocks stay at 1.4 GHz all the time, right? (cpu command)
With 6.1 there is proper frequency scaling.
