README.md

Patch to correct Armbian boot failure on upgrades for Pine64 LTS + new LoRa board + SOPINE in latest Armbian DTS.

I applied the patching to image and reuploaded it to share with others (as Armbian forum said it may be sometime before integrated unfortunately). You may download the image I patched here: https://mega.nz/file/Wd5CGRhB#spBqSQrhLm_gIPtRexV900C8T3YoVk9VuHopFs4Ho9c

[For anyone who needs it with Pine64/SOPINE/LoRA board]

If you would like to apply patching to image yourself, download Armbian from original sources and follow below (I corrected minor typos in original posting below)

Original thread here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17333-unable-to-boot-focal-or-buster-images-on-sopine-clusterboard

  • couple minor typos/directory issues on original above post corrected in this file *

[ thanks user dippywood on Armbian forum for providing the fix file ] :)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.) Place Armbian image to be patched in this directory (same as patch.sh) 2.) Run the following commands in order:

sudo mkdir /tmp/image

sudo mount -v -o offset=4194304 -t ext4 Armbian_21.02.3_Pine64so_focal_current_5.10.21.img /tmp/image

sudo dtc -O dtb -o /tmp/image/boot/dtb/allwinner/sun50i-a64-sopine-baseboard.dtb -b 0 sun50i-a64-sopine-baseboard.dts

umount /tmp/image

3.) Upgrade: apt update && apt full-upgrade -y 4.) reboot without issue

Verified everything to work properly and reboot without fail after upgrade. :)
