Latest Odroid HC4 image (1.52.0) does not boot #1815

Open Matthionine opened 1 year ago

Hello,

I recently bought an Odroid-HC4 intending to try ncp. It seems however that the latest release (v1.52.0) is not able to boot on that device.

I followed the instructions from How to install NextCloudPi using option 1 via the terminal. And it seems to work successfully, as I can open the SD card labelled "armbi_boot" and it looks like a regular linux installation. However, if I insert the card into the odroid it won't boot. It enters Petitboot, detects the sd card, detects /boot/boot.scr but it does not offer the option to boot from the sd card.

I tried with two different sd cards (Kingston and Samsung Evo) without success. In contrast booting Manjaro ARM for the odroid-HC4 does work. Therefore, it seems to be connected to the provided image.

Thank you for your help!

So, I did some digging and I figured that the ncp image is based on armbian which does not boot with petitboot. Two methods on how to boot anyways are mentioned on the odroid-hc4 armbian page Long story short, the easiest way is to insert the SD card and then press and hold the boot button on the bottom of the board and connect the board to the electricity.

To make the installation process for odroid-hc4 users a bit easier, I think it would be great to either link the armbian page or add the information in the How to install wiki page.
