Help! OPi 5 Plus UEFI not booting from any disk in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like dancing! Wiped my SPI, installed the OPi Debian to my eMMC using dd commands, and I'm back in business.

I give it 1 week before I break it again trying to do something stupid.

Help! OPi 5 Plus UEFI not booting from any disk in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

For the uboot, I think I tried both of these: https://github.com/schneid-l/u-boot-orangepi5 https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/u-boot-orangepi

I'm not sure what exactly changed, I used the same SD card, the same OPi image, used Balena Etcher to burn the image to the card... this time it booted into the live image from my SD! It's a start!

Now I'm just trying to wipe my SPI of UEFI, reinstall uboot, then do a fresh install of Debian and try again with PXVirt.

Help! OPi 5 Plus UEFI not booting from any disk (lemmy.world)
 

I've messed something up with the bootloader on my Orange Pi 5 Plus and I'm looking for help in digging out of this mess.

While playing with Pxvirt (Proxmox port for ARM SBCs), I had the genius idea to swap out u-boot for this EDK2 UEFI firmware: https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588

Now, when I attempt to boot from USB or SD, it just pops back to the UEFI screen.

I've manually removed every boot option except the USB or SD, but no luck. I've also completely formatted my eMMC and NVME to FAT32, since that seems to be the only filesystem UEFI will recognize.

I've connected to the OPi via Maskrom and flashed the SPI NOR with U-Boot and SPL Loader from Radxa, but still boots to UEFI.

Using Maskrom, I also tried to completely erase the contents on SPI NOR and physically removed my eMMC and NVME drives, but it still booted to UEFI.

I've also completely formated my eMMC and NVME to FAT32, since that seems to be the only filesystem UEFI will recognize.

Some of the boot disks I've tried are: PXVirt installer Orange Pi's custom Debian Bullseye build Debian Trixie for Arm64 SystemRescue

Any recommendations on what I can do to get UEFI completely off this OPi and back to U-Boot? I don't really care whether U-Boot is on SPI or eMMC, just need something working.

For one, most articles that you think are factual are fairly biased and opinionated. For two, every obituary from one of your “factual” sources will be a fluff piece burying the bad and cherry picking the good, like they are for all the other dead pieces of shit.

feedback on my next steps for self hosting in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] anticonnor@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Thanks for the feedback!

  1. I may not have labeled that accurately, I just plan to use Tailscale to access these services from specific authorized devices.
  2. I meant "before I do something that is a pain to correct". Like starting with the wrong OS or file system format.
  3. My plan is to build a media server which will include 4k media, so I think my storage may need to grow over time... maybe TrueNAS is something I can add later if needed?
  4. I guess the reason I was thinking of 2 separate machines is that I've heard using an OPi as a media server or NextCloud server will go really slow and potentially cause other issues. Plus I already have an old computer doing nothing right now, just needs new SSDs.

feedback on my next steps for self hosting (lemmy.world)
 

I'm still dipping my toes into self hosting and trying to figure out what services I would want to be always accessible from my devices vs those that could be awakened by LAN, and which services should be installed at the OS level vs as containers.

As of now, I just have an OrangePi 5 Plus running Home Assistant Supervised under Debian and nothing else. I'm hoping to expand the OPi a bit and also build out another PC (hardware unknown) as a NAS media server and NextCloud machine.

Before I start doing anything I can't undo, I'm wondering if I' on the right track with my proposed setup in the image, or if there's anything else I should consider?

Where are all the artists at? (lemmy.world)
 

I used to primarily use Instagram for following illustrators, sculptors, digital artists, etc., but I dropped Insta for obvious reasons.

There was also a large exodus from Insta to Cara.app almost a year ago due to Meta's stupid policies on using Insta content to train AI. While Cara is generally a great site and has anti-AI policies (I'm not anti-AI, just anti the way most companies implement AI), my problem with Cara is that it's an owner funded site that will inevitably need to find a way to monetize the content/users.

On the Fediverse, I'm on Lemmy, Mastodon (though I don't love the micro-blog format), and Pixelfed (very little activity).

So my question is: What platforms in the Fediverse are you seeing the most original artist content?
