Hi all, I just received my x86 Advanced card, and installed Ubuntu Server 16.04-3 on a SD card. My problem is that when I just power on my card, it nevers boot. I have a message : No bootable device. If I do a software reset with Ctrl-Alt-Suppr, Grub is found and Linux starts. I updated Bios to 1.03 version, because I did not success installing Linux on the SD card with 1.01 version (known bug with SD card). I tried different Bios settings, but still this error on first boot... Thanks in advance for your help.
What if you press on ESC during boot of the X86 (a lot of times to not miss the window) you get the UEFI Firmware Setup Utility Menu Click on Boot Manager to select the SD card as preferred boot card. I am not sure how this works with Grub, never worked with this.
Hello waltervl, A got the same result if I select the SD card via Boot Manager : it only works after a software reset.
I am not a Linux expert but perhaps it is easier to just reset everything: erase all partitions on EMMC and other drives, reset bios to default and start with a fresh installation of Ubuntu server.
Hello, I do not have eMMC on my card. I tried installing another Linux distro (Debian) on another SD card, still the same result.
Can you reset your board with the RTC battery sequence, It could be that UEFI is remembering things: If that is not helping please open a ticket at customer care with reference to this forum topic Customer care: https://www.udoo.org/customer-care/
I was solving now similar problem. After updating to 1.03 firmware, udoo stopped booting from eMMC and it was possible to boot only by manually selecting correct efi file. Solution was to manually to create boot entry via "efibootmgr". Maybe it could help also to you? Good start is to check current settings with "efibootmgr -v".
I have same issue with Ubuntu 16.04 and Udoo X86 Advanced (without EMMC) Did you solve it? I can't use with this issue. When I power on the board I can see the UDOO logo: After that, I get this error message: Then I need to press Crtl-Alt-Supr and It boots perfectly: The problem is that I want the udoo x86 board to build a cluster, so I need a keyboard conected to each board!!!! Please, fix that ASAP. Regards.
Hi Jorge, I solved it using a USB stick instead of SD card. Using a MicroSD to USB converter also works. I contacted the support, this is what they told me : "There is probably a bug as the issue is replicable on our machines. It requires further analysis and it may be solved in the next firmware release. [...] There is no ETA at the moment." Regards.
Thank you very much Stéphane. However I can't use this solution beacause I need all USB ports in my project. Anyway thank you again. @Laura Is there any ETA to fix this issue? Thanks!!
I have the same problem on two UDOOs x86 with SD only. Xubuntu 17.04. No UEFI (on UEFI I have other issues... trying to collect enough information to make a constructive post).
