armsom-sige7 cannot boot from eMMC
I installed from an SD card and copied the installation to eMMC, but the board refuses to boot from eMMC unless I hold RESET upon power up.
There's no 'mtd' device, so installing uBoot to the SPI fails:
sudo u-boot-install-mtd
[sudo] password for me:
/usr/bin/u-boot-install-mtd: block device '/dev/mtd0' not found
/usr/bin/u-boot-install-mtd: writing U-Boot to the SPI flash
While trying to open /dev/mtd0 for read/write access: No such file or directory
Error: in /usr/bin/u-boot-install-mtd on line 21
Any suggestions? I'm used to armbian-config having a way to toggle boot order in the SPI in similar boards, but cannot find any references to similar functionality in this image.
I don't know about that particular board, but on the Orange Pi 5, the SPI memory is not called mtd0. It's like mmtdblk0 or something like that . If you have a running system, you can find it by doing lsblk. You can then pass that as an argument to u-boot-install-mtd for the install.
Not sure if that will solve your issue, but I think it'll get you closer.
Well, an lsblk shows me 2 4MB devices that are... suspicious.
This is after managing to boot from the eMMC, nothing else connected:
~$ lsblk

They don't look like MTD devices though (I've dealt with 3 or 4 different RockChip boards). They don't show up on lshw, for starters.
They do have different device nodes:
$ ls -al /dev/mmcblk0*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 May 13 16:09 /dev/mmcblk0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 32 May 13 16:08 /dev/mmcblk0boot0

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 1 May 13 16:09 /dev/mmcblk0p1
crw------- 1 root root 235, 0 May 13 16:08 /dev/mmcblk0rpmb
Still, rather than trying to blindly flash stuff (I've had enough tussles with Rockchip recovery), I'm wondering if anyone has a definitive answer.
Hello, what Ubuntu version and how are you installing the OS onto the eMMC?
24.04, and I used the instructions on the Wiki after booting the desktop image from SD Card.
It works fine for me, using the command sudo ubuntu-rockchip-install /dev/mmcblk0.
I did that as well, but the device won't boot from eMMC unless I hold down the RESET button and hit power.
What type of power supply are you using? I know this board has some problems with PD charging so i use a dumb 5v 4a power supply.
I am using an Anker charger - however, this did not happen until I flashed your image (I had Armbian running fine).
I managed to hook up an FTDI adapter to the serial console, and I am getting a really weird output:
Straight upon power on:

...and then it stays there. When I hit RESET, I get the same message, but sometimes it goes and boots:

So either I have a dodgy RAM chip all of a sudden, or there's something I'm missing here. Any easy way to restore the entire board to factory settings?
I changed the original U-Boot code that was submitted as a pull request as it affected other devices while a better solution was available with a little extra work (there could be a problem with my bootloader changes, but I have some confidence in my bootloader code).
But the below output interests me, it's not something I have seen before. Let me do some digging and see if i can find anything.

Hmm after a quick grep in the bootloader source code the above message seems to come from the DDR or SPL blob which is sadly closed source, this tracks with your suspicion of doggy RAM chips.
However, I'm using older DDR and SPL blobs I will update them shortly and start a build with GitHub actions, hopefully it will solve this issue.
Hmm Armbian uses the same DDR and SPL blobs as me, so this is very strange. Oooh boy time for some blob disassembly :)
