There is no /dev/mmcblk0 when I boot either Guix System (from USB) or armbian (from microsd). /dev/mmcblk1 is the microSD card, at least in a booted system. The device name only matters for the installation of u-boot, doesn’t it?

I don’t want to boot from USB going forward. I only do this so the microSD card is not used for the system. I want to have u-boot on the microsd card and then boot the system from SSD. > Actually, better idea. Try it with linux-libre-arm64-generic for the > kernel.

At least I know that this one works, because that’s what the pinebook pro image uses — and that one works fine (from USB). But at this point I’m not even complaining about the kernel, because nothing at all happens when I power on the machine. U-boot does not seem to start. -- Ricardo
