odroid HC4 image does not boot

1st Official Post

    I know it's still in testing, but I'm struggling to figure out how to work this. CoreELEC boots up and runs great, but trying to move it to run off the hard drive messes things up. Libreelec was easier to wrangle over to other drives, even having an installer from what I remember. So I tried the testing image and I can't get it to boot at all. Has anyone figured out why the hc4 image wont boot?

    From Petitboot, "Exit to Shell" and run:

    # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0
    # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
    # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd2
    # flash_eraseall /dev/mtd3

    This exorcises petitboot from the SPI flash, and distro images that use modern u-boot with extlinux.conf (LE, Armbian, etc.) will now boot from SD card. I've asked HK when they plan to support extlinux.conf boot in petitboot and got a meh response. Restoring Petitboot (if you want to do that) is achieved by creating an SD card with the petitboot update file on it and booting the board. There are instructions for that in the HK wiki.
