AML-S805X-AC not booting from eMMC

[Peter_Dillon]

Hi Folks,

I flashed the eMMC using the instructions found here: https://youtu.be/IcN94tDs4d8?si=5RkQljK3zrD5rnwB and using the image found here: https://distro.libre.computer/ci/raspbian/11/2023-05-03-raspbian-bullseye-arm64%2Baml-s805x-ac.img.xz and it won’t boot. Says ‘BootOrder not defined’. I get a ‘Welcome to GRUB!’ Message then it tries to boot from Ethernet as the boot seems to have failed.

Any ideas? Can I mount the boot partition and manually specify a boot order for grub?

Update: while I was writing this I got to a Grub menu. It says ‘failed to boot’ with some other info but the screen doesn’t stop long enough to record. It returns you to the grub menu, but when I pick the one and only option for the menu the La Frite reboots. So weird.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Peter
