m....
<abananabread>
i am installing armbian bionic instead of buster on my nanopi m4v2
<abananabread>
because friendlyelec dont have a buster image
<abananabread>
not a big difference right...?

<abananabread_>
damn i can't get my nanopi to boot
<abananabread_>
with the eflasher image provided
<abananabread_>
z..z.z.z.z.z.zz.z
<Werner>
Try legacy image for the m4v2 and use etcher to write the sd card.
<abananabread_>
ok i will try the eflasher core version
<abananabread_>
and etcher
<abananabread_>
i was following friendlyelec's offical guide...
<abananabread_>
z.z.z.z.z.z 2.5hrs battling the installer
<abananabread_>
man.. armbian is a lot bigger than raspbian
<abananabread_>
but.. i don't think raspbian works on nanopi
<Werner>
We cant help you with 3rd party images anyways
<abananabread_>
by the way @Werner, I want to use Buster, but i don't know how to install it onto the eMMC module.
<abananabread_>
which is why, i'm still trying the image provided by FriendlyElec
<Werner>
There is a script shipped with Armbian that will do the install for you. I think it is nand-install or something
<Werner>
nand-sata-install
<abananabread_>
?
<abananabread_>
so... you mean
<abananabread_>
i should install buster, and then type
<abananabread_>
or execute nand something like that?
<Werner>
Yes. You can find some more information in the documentation
<Werner>
.rtfm
<ArmbianHelper>
Check out our awesome documentation! It's tremendous, promise! https://docs.armbian.com/
<abananabread_>
thank you Werner
<Werner>
You're welcome

...... the pi's ip address is not showing
<Werner>
What do you mean? Does ethernet not come up?
<abananabread_>
its ip adress does not show up from my lan router menu
<Werner>
Depending on your sd card it may take a while until the filesystem fully expands over the whole sd card at first boot. Thats the reason the first startup usually takes a bit longer than average.
<abananabread_>
oh..... uh oh...
<abananabread_>
i kept disconnecting the power cable
<abananabread_>
i didn't know that
<abananabread_>
i should do it over again

However you always can connect via UART to check whatever is happening
<abananabread_>
i didn't order the uart XD
<abananabread_>
im too noob...
<abananabread_>
sigh.. this is rough
<Werner>
It is always a good idea to have an USB UART adapter when dealing with SBCs because if anything goes wrong this is your last chance to get on the board via serial console and maybe fix what is wrong.
<Werner>
You get them for very cheap anyways.
<abananabread_>
hmm... i just tried again.. still can't find the ipaddress
<abananabread_>
i cannot ssh if i dont have the ip right..?
<Werner>
Nope
<Werner>
Try different SD card and different power source since those are also common issues.

...... nothing works
<abananabread_>
i dont have another card
<abananabread_>
tried a different psu

abananabread: you should get both one or multiple spare sd cards and an USB UART adapter. There is no other way to get into the board to see whats the issue.
<abananabread>
damn..
<abananabread>
i'm giving up on this board
<Werner>
You can ask in forums if someone else has this board and issues fireing it up with the latest legacy Buster image.
<Werner>
However I am pretty confident that the issue is somewhere on your side. Broken SBC, broken SD, bad power, bad patchcabel...whatever it is there is no way to dig further without serial console access.

Welp, guess that was too much information.

appears so
abananabread has joined #armbian
<abananabread>
:0
<abananabread>
i got the ip address
<abananabread>
i held the power button on the m4v2 for 30 seconds, continue to hold while unplugged, and 30 more seconds after replugged
<abananabread>
now i can ssh, and access Armbian
<Werner>
No idea why this worked for you but glad you could figure it out.
macc24 has joined #armbian
<abananabread>
yeah, i saw another board by friendlyelec ( it was suppose to be a router SBC)
<abananabread>
and i had nothing else left to try
<abananabread>
so i copied the hard reset method.
<Werner>
I still strongly recommend to pickup an USB UART adapter somewhen in future ;)
<abananabread>
yes yes that is probably a good idea
<abananabread>
ummm...
<abananabread>
what do i do now once i have got armbian buster (legacy)..
<abananabread>
apt get update & then try docket and portainer..
<abananabread>
docker*
<Werner>
That is up to you.
<abananabread>
i hope omv works...
<Werner>
I dont know about the current OMV status. The last thing I read was that there are issues with Buster but Stretch worked. Maybe this has been solved in the meantime.
<abananabread>
hmm...
<abananabread>
i see....
<abananabread>
do you suggest i run omv in docker/portainer?
<abananabread>
i have never used omv before..
<abananabread>
ohh.... right i need to put everything into eMMC first..
<abananabread>
:S i might break something again.
<Werner>
You do not have to use emmc. If it runs fine from sd just leave it.
<Werner>
I have no experience with OMV.
<abananabread>
okay, i will leave emmc alone in the mean time.
