How do you flash this onto the emmc? Can anyone outline the steps in English? Thanks in advance.
-
@HiramXMaxim The EMMC small board has an adapter for converting to TF card, which can be written to the EMMC using a common card reader. As shown in the figure below.
-
Thank you. This is my first time working with emmc.
-
@george I tried with balena Etcher and it doesn't work.
-
@retroman Try formatting the TF card before mirroring it. If it does not work properly, it is recommended to upgrade the loader file.
-
-
@george OK. Updating loader file works. But no wifi and bluetooth in this build?
-
@retroman Please follow that github will continue to update, thank you.
-
@george But no wifi how can I update?
-
@retroman The problem of WIFI BT is being solved. An update will be released in the next few days.
-
@retroman The problem of wifi bt has been solved. Please follow github to submit or download the latest firmware test. Thank you.
-
I purchased the reader and when I insert it into any of my computers Windows 11, Debian 11 none of them recognize the emmc module. Etcher, et al, do not show any available flash devices. Am I missing some device drivers or should it just work? I have 3 CoolPi's and I've tried all the adapters and emmc modules.
-
@HiramXMaxim This may be the compatibility problem of the card reader. You can first make the image into the TF card, and then use the migration script of armbian to migrate the image to EMMC.
-
@HiramXMaxim Please provide the model of the card reader you use, or take a photo and send it to us. Let's buy the same model and test it. thank you.

Does this version have Vulkan support? I tried to run a program with Vulkan and it doesn't work.
-
@retroman said in Coolpi 4B armbian support:
Vulkan
Sorry, Vulkan is not supported for the time being. Please pay attention to the following updates.
-
@george Thank you. Also, please include WiFi and Bluetooth support while you're at it.
-
@retroman wifi and bluetooth have been added in the currently available image.
-
@reddfoxx Download link for the newest image?
-
@retroman It is the same location. You will need to first boot with monitor/keyboard. To set it up completely headless, you would need to play with the armbian_first_run.txt in /boot . I've never tried doing it that way.
-
@reddfoxx Tried it but it doesn't work.
-
@retroman The latest firmware is temporarily not compatible with the V10 version of WIFI and BT configurations. This problem will be solved as soon as possible. Please pay attention to the update.

最新的 armbian image 在 SD 卡燒錄後，插在 cool-pi 上面會一直停留在 cool-pi logo 從後自己重新啟動，請問怎麼解決
？ -
@tonyone0902 卡格式化一下重新制作。
-
@tonyone0902 确认loaer有没有更新到最新，可以按照下图链接更新：https://www.cool-pi.com/topic/162/how-to-upgrade-the-boot-loader-of-coolpi-4b?_=1675398036886
-
@george 確實是 bootloader 沒有更新到，謝謝！
建議是否開一個 for Debian / Armbian 的 討論區？ 這樣相關文章也會比較找到。
