EDIT: The instructions don't work. The uEnv.txt file is slightly different than described on my unit, looking like this:
Just tried with Orange Pi Lite 2.2.2. uEnv.txt by default looks like:
Code:
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 consoleblank=0 quiet
bootcmd=load mmc 0:1 0x43000000 sun8i-h3-orangepi-lite.dtb; load mmc 0:1 0x42000000 KERNEL; bootz 0x42000000 - 0x43000000
Following step 4 to resize, it's the same. Then 5 and 6 turn it to:
Code:
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0 boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 consoleblank=0 quiet tty retroarch=0
bootcmd=load mmc 0:1 0x43000000 sun8i-h3-orangepi-pc-plus.dtb; load mmc 0:1 0x42000000 KERNEL; bootz 0x42000000 - 0x43000000
I can also confirm this boots to a terminal. I'm not sure what step you're tripping up on, but you should be able to get at least that far with the instructions I provided.
It sounds like maybe you didn't let lakka install before modifying the uenv.txt (step 4)?
Nah, uenv.txt isn't altered during the resize. The point of doing the resize first is so you can edit the uenv.txt and copy over the new firmware at the same time. The other reason is I'm not sure if it's the retroarch service that kicks off the resize or something else, so it's simpler to go with what I know works--the default uenv.txt will do the resize properly. Looks like he ended up have a uenv.txt that's chopped off partly that's the problem.
The firmware you wish to flash to the device can be on an external USB drive. or your lakka SD card.
That's an idea. I didn't include such instructions and went with the ext2explorer because I didn't want to confuse people into accidentally deleting the wrong partition. :/ I imagine a fat32 usb drive would be the actually easiest approach for Windows users.
