[SOLVED] Bootstrap Debian into the eMMC but GRUB not found

Hi @librecomputer

I followed your advice and tried to bootstrap directly Debian into the eMMC module, but at the end of the process GRUB is still not found, clearly I am missing some key steps but do not which ones.

CHROOT: create and update grub

echo "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y" >> /etc/default/grub
grub-install /dev/mmcblk0

[OK]

update-grub

[OK]

Exit CHROOT

Reflash bootloader

cd libre[tab]
./lfth.sh bl-flash roc-rk3328-cc mmcblk0 verify

[OK]

Reboot (removing the SD Card)


Did not work :frowning:

Unfortunately after the reboot it does’t boot.
If I connect the board through HDMI → VGA I can display the buffer, on this other monitor HDMI → HDMI I can’t but the green light is not blinking.

I don’t know where I am mistaken, perhaps this can help anyone to spot it out. I can provide some logs just tell me which I should grab from the eMMC, thanks! :pray:

GRUB needs to be installed in the extra-removables path.
