Banana PI M5 - Reboot

  • I'm wondering if the SD card is being reset correctly in reboot. Have you tried installing the image to emmc storage? (which removes SD card from the process). I forget when I last booted this board, but it was probably booted from emmc.

  • Hello Christian

    I like to use my Banana PI M5 without EMMC, only with an SDCard. The EMMC is not formatted (dd if=/dev/zero ...)

    Maybe this Log can help to find out the problem ? (only the sequence with reboot)

    Best regards

  • I'd guess that it doesn't reset the card voltage correctly during reboot, which means the card isn't detected and thus you see the "cannot find something to boot" text on the screen. Can you do some experiments with other SD cards? - ideally something old/cheap/slow that doesn't need the voltage switch.

    NB: This is also a reason to test the image installed on eMMC storage; there's no voltage switch there.
