[Discord] <languagehunter.> I haven’t tried again actually. So still working on it.
14:52
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <languagehunter.> In my case it just boots into the POST screen
14:59
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> how do i get there? does it look similar to what you'd get on a pc?
15:37
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <rpardini> not a tvbox channel, folks. go to the forum.
18:20
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> don't know how to use a forum
18:22
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> why aren't tv boxes allowed here? is something about them weird?
19:23
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> ah
19:23
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> yeah i just wanna know how i'm supposed to make it do the funny and at least try to boot from the sd card
19:40
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <igorpec> use forum, section tv boxes. there people does this stuff. official live support is just waaaaaay too much to expect
19:41
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> oh shit
19:41
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> now we're cooking
19:41
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> yeah reading the documentation helps
19:45

19:47
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> hmm, it doesn't wanna boot armbian off emmc
19:47
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> should i wait awhile?
19:48
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> watching the power consumption and i'm at a near constant 328mA
19:54
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <rpardini> yeah labelled UART port top of board in the picture. go have fun
19:54
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> i sadly don't have anything to connect to this
19:54
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> i do have a USB RS232 adapter but no way to get that to plug into uart
19:56
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <rpardini> get a proper uart, dupont cable you can literally stick into the holes and 90% of cases will work with some insistence
19:56
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <rpardini> all that said... tvboxes --> forum 😉
19:57
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> no replies tomy post yet so i'm trying some of my own tomfoolery
19:57
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> gonna attempt to manually copy the sd card to emmc with dd and see what that does
19:57
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <rpardini> no. you

20:01
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> nuh uh
20:01
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> dd tomfoolery is in progress, if this works i'll be amazed
20:01
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> worst case i can just boot off the sd card and use emmc as storage
20:05
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> >just realized i'm trying to cram a 32GB disk into 7

20:05
<
DC-IRC >
[Discord] <lands39> i can think of a few other ways around this that may work
20:16
<

[Discord] <lands39> did the emmc have something important on it that was needed for boot?
