Cannot detect EMMC on latest version of BPI-M64
Hi,
I just bought a new BPI-M64 but the the firmware can no longer detect the EMMC storage. With the prev version of BPI board, listing /dev/mmblock will produce mmblock0 and mmblock1 (SD and EMMC respectively)
With the new board, it only detects mmblock0
There is a new eMMC version. The firmware will be updated to fix this. Can you check if eth0 and wlan0 works?
Ok will check

I know eth works because I’m able to ssh into it but have not really used the wifi. Will update you tomorrow

@azrin1972 Good to know, thanks. BPI updated the eMMC version on their new HW revision and so i need to update the code for the new version. That can take some time.
Maybe you would be interested in running Kodi with mainline kernel 5.2.0?
It is a CLI and no desktop to run Kodi but with some tweak, a Desktop can be installed. RC candidate was not stable enough but now i think is OK, maybe you would like to test it on your new HW? watch the progress here: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi
Definitely interested as i only use cli at this point of time

Can you please try: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi/releases/tag/v1.0
credentials: ubuntu / ubuntu
Flash SD card first, boot and then Flash eMMC You may need to update the boot order of the device in case you get stuck on eMMC boot.
Btw, can this be used with the new BPI? I now only have the new version 😥
It’s v1.2.
Right now I’m using the BPO-m64-firmware V2 and it works

@avafinger do you have any updates on this version for the latest M64 board?
Can you try this one?: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi
I can give instructions to flash to the eMMC. Burn the SD card with 5.2, see if it boots from SD card, then upgrade to 5.3.8.
After you confirm it works we can burn it to eMMC.
@azrin1972
Can you please try with this Image https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi and right after you burn the SD CARD you write the new u-boot for the HW revision 1.2 and tell me if it boots?
The new u-boot is here: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi/releases/tag/v1.3
@azrin1972
Please, don't use a USB hub, only the mouse in one usb slot and a keyboard in the other usb slot.
Initial Image to Burn: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi/releases/tag/v1.0 u-boot for the board hw revision 1.2: Image to Burn: https://github.com/avafinger/bananapi-m64-kodi/releases/tag/v1.3
