How to flash ubuntucore image to emmc from sdcard

1

my problem is the title:how to flash ubuntucore image to emmc from sdcard,or is there a tool i can burn image directly to emmc on board

see:

when i tried the method above,i get err like below.
i am confused ,snap got all its dependency.why there is still lack of so lib

morning2050@localhost:/mnt/usb_disk$ sudo godd if=./ftgw-snd.img of=/dev/mmcblk4
/snap/godd/18/bin/godd: error while loading shared libraries: libgudev-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
morning2050@localhost:/mnt/usb_disk$ godd: error while loading shared libraries: libgudev-1.0.so.0

Thanks for this problemreport @molin2050! There is indeed a bug on the armhf architecture and the libraries are missing there. I’m fixing this and will let you know once there is a new version available.

Could you please snap refresh --edge godd and let me know if that fixes the issue?

Hey @molin2050 - I’m not sure what is going on with your system that it cannot find godd.

However I managed to test this now on my pi2:

mvo@localhost:~$ snap info godd

So the missing lib issue is fixed. Fwiw I am looking into how to archive the same goal without using libudev (parsing udevadm output maybe).

godd is ok now
when flash img to emmc,err goes like

U-Boot SPL 2017.05 (Aug 02 2018 - 16:48:43)
DRAM: 512 MiB
Trying to boot from MMC2
MMC Device 1 not found
spl: could not find mmc device. error: -19
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices

ERROR ### Please RESET the board

it seems something wrong with uboot？

10

Yes, this looks like something is wrong with uboot, maybe @ogra has some insight about this particular failure.

11

well, i’d need to see the gadget source for this, but it looks like your uboot.env.in is not configured correctly for the MMC device or that the u-boot binary misses some feature to find the device.

12

some forum posts say that uboot2016 is ok while new one gets this err

13

this has nothing to do with the age of your source tree but with how it is configured …

your u-boot binary needs full support for the MMC controller built in to find the MMC and your uboot.env.in in the gadget source needs to be set up to initialize the internal MMC and point all boot scripts to load kernel, dtb and initrd from there. if these defaults are properly set in your source it will work regardless which uboot version you use.

if you take a look at uboot.env.in of the gadget source below:

you will see mmcdev and mmcpart that define the MMC boot device in this case (your variables might be called completely different so it is hard to tell what you need to do without seeing the source, but my guess is that you have at least an equivalent if even differently named variable there …)

as i said, it is hard to tell without seeing the source of your gadget but you will likely need changes along the lines above

below is my env.in file, i can’t tell what difference is the key

are you sure mmc 0 is the emmc ?
(try getting to the uboot shell (hit enter at the countdown) and look around which mmc devices actually exist, use fatls to find the uboot.env file on the right one)

16

MMC1 is mmc0(sdcard) and MMC2 is mmc1(emmc).uboot seem it does not recognise MMC2.mmc list command just finds mmc0(sdcard)

17

so you need to change your u-boot to recognize it … check the upstream documentation/u-boot documentation for your board about how to enable it.
