Update on the Nexbox A95x: I got it working with the latest version.

There was no reply to my earlier post, but someone must have listened :-), because the error message that I mentioned is now gone and /flash is showing the full file names. Also, the menu option "install to EMMC" now displays a message about the installation (it didn't do that before).

However, there's still a small problem with the install2emmc.sh script: it refers to /dev/mmcblk1. After changing that to /dev/mmcblk0 the nexbox was able to boot from EMMC.

Balbes: thanks for the update and, apparently, for listening

I tried to install the latest build (2019021) on the Nexbox A95 (dtb: meson-gxl-nexbox-a95x.dtb). Booting was succesful and it seems to run fine. But I was not able to install to EMMC, using the EMMC menu. It keeps needing the microSD card to boot.

Not sure if this helps, but mount gives the following output:

Also, I found the following error in the boot messages:

Also, I noticed that /flash is mounted as 'msdos' and, hence, only has support for abbreviated filenames.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
