When I boot my nanopc-t4 from a miniroot uSD, uboot loads /bsd which then doesn't see the uSD, only the EMMC as sd0. dwge0 now fails so have to install from disk. I have to put my distribution sets on a usb stick which gets recognised as sd1. On 2020-10-13 05:50, Stuart Henderson wrote: Now

Hi, To use someone elses DTB, I decompile, edit the DTS and recompile with dtc, before using. I've learned from others' DTBs. Try dtc so you know what is in the DTB. Colin On 3/12/22 07:50, Mark Kettenis wrote: Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 18:44:27 + From: Peter Stuge Jan Stary wrote: Re
