Hi does install to emmc works for orange pi plus 2 h3 board? I will be getting my plus 2 soon so want to know is it supported in arbian jessie yet. Seems to work with Banana Pi M2+ eMMC. Sep 20, 2016  Hi guys, I installed last armbian on Banana Pi M2+, and execute nand-sata-install.sh to boot armbian from emmc, it works fine. I want system boot from emmc, and storage some data to sd card, so I prepare one sd card with ntfs partition, insert to Banana Pi.

Banana Pi BPI-M4 use Realtek RTD1395 chp design ,it is a 64-bit quad-core A53 mini single board computer. It features 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB eMMC. It also has onboard WiFi for b/g/n/ac and BT 4.2. On the ports side, the BPI-M4 has 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB TYPE C port, 1 HDMI port, 1 audio jack. support M.2 Key E PCIE 2.0 interface.

The RTD1395 is equipped with a high-performance quad-core CPU,ARM cortex-A53,with 512K L2 cache embedded. the RTD1395 also integrates and efficient ARM Mali-470 Graphic Processing Unit(GPU) to accelerate 2D and 3D graphics processing. For acceleration of this OSD and 2K user interface,the built-in Streaming Engine of the RTD1395 provides commonly used drawing functions.the CPU is dedicated to applications ,while most of the functions of the RTD1395 is dedicated to manipulating,decoding video streams in vaious formats.e.g. decoding 4K2K H.265,Full HD MPEG1/2/4/H.264/H.264 MVC,AVC/VC-1,VP8,VP9,AVS,AVS plus,HD JPEG,etc. Video DSP can also handle encoding of up to Full HD with H.264 format.Video decoding and encoding can run simultaneously.

• Easy to buy sample on aliexpress shop :

Once you dd the image they provide, you'll notice that you can only boot from eMMC when the SD is not inserted andif you inser it after boot, the system doesn't even discover the devices.

There is an easy fix for this.

At boot, uBoot looks for /boot/bananapi/bpi-m3/linux/uEnv.txt and loads /boot/bananapi/bpi-m3/linux/script.binthat contains additional configuration, like how to manage the SD, in binary format.

You just need to follow a few simple steps to enable SD discovery after boot (there is a way to boot from the bootpartition on the SD and then load the OS from eMMC but I didn't have time to experiment with that).

1. Copy the current script.bin to your home and make a backup:

2. Convert it to its textual form:

3. Open sys_config.fex, search for mmc0_para and change sdc_detmore from 3 to 1 (the same parameter under mmc1 can stay at 4):

4. Convert it back to binary:

   What's in the box? Miniature Super Nintendo Entertainment System replica with 21 pre-loaded Super NES games. Two wired Super NES Classic Controllers. One HDMI cable. One USB cable with AC adapter. Operations manual (with a poster on the back!). The Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console has a library of games, which were released in plastic ROM cartridges. The cartridges are shaped differently for different regions; North American cartridges have a rectangular bottom with inset grooves matching protruding tabs in the console, while other regions' cartridges are narrower with a smooth curve on the front and no grooves.

5. Copy it back:
