16:26 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> hello i need some help how do i erase the emmc on my orange pi 5 plus

16:26 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i am booted from sd card and in armbian

16:26 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> wish to erase emmc then copy my armbian to it

16:27 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> also when i start my armbian the boot screen is discolored

16:43 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <igorpec> unplug and plug hdmi

16:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> k

16:44 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i need to erase my emmc completely and i cant find any instructions

17:00 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> to do that, once you have a command line prompt you have to identify which device (one of `/dev/mmcblk*` usually) is teh emmc. Once you've identified it and you are sure no partitions on it are mounted, execute `dd status=progress if=/dev/zero of=/dev/the-emmc-device`. That will zero out the contents of teh eMMC.

17:04 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> cool how do you unmount it

17:04 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i was on armbian on my sd and i didnt see the emmc show up

17:04 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> `mount` with no arguments will tell you whta you have mounted

17:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> `mount` with no arguments will tell you what you have mounted

17:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> so i took the sd card out and loaded the ubuntu n the emmc

17:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> im in ubuntu can i format from here or do i need to be on armbian

17:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> You can't format when booted from emmc

17:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> k

17:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Well, you should not

17:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Well, you should not, rather

17:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> im not then back to sd card armbian boo

17:07 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> mount

17:08 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> sometimes the sd card shows up as mmcblk-something, so beware of that too.

17:08 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> In a more general case you can list devices using `sudo fdisk -l`, then you can use `mount` to see what is mounted and if there's one device that is listed by `fdisk` but not `mount` - it's the emmc

17:08 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> ye the sd showed up as mmcblk1p1

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> but i dont see the emmc there

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> hmm

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> one sec

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> `sudo lsblk`?

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> That will show all teh partitions I think

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> That will show all the partitions I think

17:09 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Along with some info about them

17:10 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Along with some info about them, like label, uuids, etc

17:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> whats mtdblock0

17:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> all i see is mtdblock0 mmcblk1 and mmcblk1p1

17:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> hmm

17:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> no partitions on mtdblock0?

17:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> no

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> I would assume since you have a working ubuntu install on the emmc it would show the paritions on there

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i know the emmc is called mmcblk0

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i was just in ubuntu while talking to you

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> But is it available when booting from teh sd card?

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> But is it available when booting from the sd card?

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> how to check

17:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> well

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> `ls /dev/mmcblk0`

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> if it's there - it will list it. If it's not there - fiel not found error

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> no such file

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> if it's there - it will list it. If it's not there - file not found error

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> yeah it's not available. Weird.

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> should i get a usb mmc thing

17:13 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> and take it out format it

17:14 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> You don't have to flip any hardware switch on the board to boot from emmc?

17:14 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> As I have one board that kinda works like that

17:14 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i got oragenpi5plus

17:14 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> no i just take sd out

17:14 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> ah

17:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i figure it would show up from a different pc if i plugged the emmc to usb

17:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Well, I don't know what to suggest next

17:15 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <trinitylightforce> i think theres a button sli button

17:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> Ot's like the system is hiding the emmc when booted from sd card? Weird/

17:16 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <johnthecoolingfan> It's like the system is hiding the emmc when booted from sd card? Weird.
