SD-Card not found!

[usermigallon]

Hi, I have this "SD-Card not found!"

[frank-w]

can you please a bit more exactly? where did you get the error? on building/install or on running the kernel?

i guess while try to install via my build.sh

which operating system do you use? is BPI-BOOT/BPI-ROOT mounted to /media/$USER/? this is what the script checks

[usermigallon]

I use Ubuntu 20.04, media /dev/sde ./build.sh importconfig ./build.sh config ./build.sh I choose 2

1. pack
2. install to SD-Card
3. deb-package
4. upload choice [1234]:2 Install Kernel to SD Card generate branch vars... getting git branch:

[frank-w]

do you try to install to usb-stick/ssd/hdd?

build.sh uses /media/$USER/BPI-BOOT / BPI_ROOT to install, if your mountpoint differs to it you have to change occourances of this mountpoint with yours

[usermigallon]

I have not install usb-stick/ssd/hdd

[frank-w]

(where) is your sdcard mounted?

[usermigallon]

/media/user/7F3D-3FFE or /dev/sde

[frank-w]

OK, /media/user/7F3D-3FFE is your mountpoint, i guess because you miss the label in filesystem.

do you build for r2 or r64 (new bootchain)?

please show output of

mount | grep /dev/sde fdisk -l /dev/sde

[usermigallon]

[frank-w]

you have no valid BPI image on your sdcard...it looks like a blanko sdcard.

you need a running system before installing new kernel

e.g. my debian buster/bullseye image you can found on bpi-forum

[usermigallon]

I build r2

[usermigallon]

my sd card is empty

[usermigallon]

Need I to install first a Debian firstly install on my sd card?

[frank-w]

you can use another image too, but you need bootable image first...this repo is only linux-kernel which is loaded by bootchain (preloader,bootheaders,uboot) so this needs to be installed first

[usermigallon]

ok, thank you very much for your help, I will install first Debian os

[usermigallon]

I need Debian or Ubuntu?

[frank-w]

you need a compatible system with the right partitions to make install work

my kernel / build-script is only prepared for this.

e.g. openwrt uses another way to load kernel and there it cannot be replaced that easy (rebuild openwrt needed).

which system do you want to use?

[usermigallon]

ok openwrt , I try to install , Debian, Ubuntu, openwrt and lede, but all are incomplete

[usermigallon]

I install openwrt in sd card, and I have same SD-Card not found!

[frank-w]

Openwrt is not compatible as i've wrote above and it will miss my changes (e.g. internal wifi for r2, some patches for r64 like bluetooth/pcie),

debian is the most actual OS as i have not make a newer ubuntu image. If you want ubuntu you can replace rootfs from debian-image with bootstrapped ubuntu, change rootpw and make some small changes like i wrote down in my wiki

[usermigallon]

So I install Debian?

[frank-w]

yes

[usermigallon]

I have the same with Debian SD-Card not found!

[frank-w]

which debian have you used? do you see the mountpoint /media/$USER/BPI-BOOT/BPI-ROOT?

[usermigallon]

I use Debian 11 and that is my command ./build.sh Build Kernel Cleanup Kernel Build needed: make u-boot-tools bc gcc libc6-dev libncurses5-dev ccache libssl-dev generate branch vars... getting git branch:

if I use this ./build.sh /media/user/a5dcd082-db07-4b55-a1bc-4193f3680cdf/ do not work too

./build.sh /media/user/a5dcd082-db07-4b55-a1bc-4193f3680cdf/ unknown command /media/user/a5dcd082-db07-4b55-a1bc-4193f3680cdf/

[frank-w]

you cannot pass mountpoint to build.sh, only predefined commands (shown with ./build.sh help)

the mountpoint looks like it is not a fat-partition. as i've said, the script looks for /media/$USER/BPI-BOOT

https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/blob/5.4-main/build.sh#L316

so make sure your boot-partition has this label (my images do this), but i'm not use other images have this

so just show your partition table

this is my last Image for R2...(i guess you have this device): https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-r2-debian-bullseye-image/12592

[usermigallon]

This is my sd https://ibb.co/0cJBbWr

[usermigallon]

Maybe have you got a Debian to suggest ?

[usermigallon]

I bought this card because there were 4 rj45 ports, but I regret, this card it is good for the trash

[frank-w]

your image still show no image flashed to card...you have to use dd or similar tool to write image to card...not copy file to the partition. image have to be uncompressed first

gunzip imagefile.gz dd if=imagefile of=/dev/sdX bs=10M status=progress

i posted link to my last debian image here: https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-R2-4.14/issues/87#issuecomment-999491218

i know first steps are hard, but it is different to install OS on x86...this is not a hardware-problem :) i do the most for this board (i did this all in my free time and i'm no employee of bpi/mtk) and have it running for over 4 years now as main-router
