Hey all, First time trying to setup my cubietruck/cubieboard3. I used fedora-arm-installer[1] to fill in an 8GB sd card on my host machine, using Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-21-5-sda.raw.xz. Pop it into my cubietruck, connect via serial console, start it up. Machine passes uboot fine and boots the initrd, but eventually fails waiting for the root mount point to show up, and falls back to dracut. Comparing my boot output to kashyap's[2], my machine has all the same messages referencing 'mmc1', but there's nothing about mmc0. mmcblk0 never shows up, so the boot fails after a timeout. So I populated a SATA drive in the same way as above, hooked that to the cubietruck, and it boots successfully. But I still can't access the sdcard from fedora. The only thing under /sys/block is sda. Tried removing and re-inserting the sunxi_mmc module, doesn't seem to help. Tried another sd card, didn't make a difference. I updated the kernel on the sdcard (by updating /boot on the sata drive, sticking the sdcard in a USB adapter, rsyncing the contents), booted into the latest lpae kernel, but still the sdcard isn't detected. Anyone have any ideas? Googling didn't turn up anything.
So there are no mmc0 messages from the kernel at all ? Sounds like there is an issue with the card-detect pin on your sdcard slot (u-boot does not use this, it assumes the card is there as it is booting from it), you could tree cleaning the slot a bit, e.g. blow some air through it.
If not, is it possible to make the cubietruck boot directly off the sata drive? Doesn't seem to work for me, but if I can make that work I don't need to worry about the sdcard.
There is no way to make things boot directly from sata, you always need u-boot somewhere else as the bootrom inside the soc does not support sata. You could leave a tiny sdcard in the slot with just u-boot though, and run everything else from sata.
