Description

Hello,

I recently bought an Odroid-HC4 intending to try ncp. It seems however that the latest release (v1.52.0) is not able to boot on that device.

I followed the instructions from How to install NextCloudPi using option 1 via the terminal. And it seems to work successfully, as I can open the SD card labelled "armbi_boot" and it looks like a regular linux installation.
However, if I insert the card into the odroid it won't boot. It enters Petitboot, detects the sd card, detects /boot/boot.scr but it does not offer the option to boot from the sd card.

I tried with two different sd cards (Kingston and Samsung Evo) without success. In contrast booting Manjaro ARM for the odroid-HC4 does work. Therefore, it seems to be connected to the provided image.

Thank you for your help!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the v1.52.0 image on an Odroid-HC4 and checking Petitboot's handling of the SD card and /boot/boot.scr. Compare the result with the working Manjaro ARM image and verify that the NextCloudPi image offers a bootable SD-card entry and starts successfully.
