What's confusing is your screen logs shows a u-boot from bookworm/sid: U-Boot SPL 2022.04+dfsg-2+b1 (May 14 2022 - 21:25:25 +) So either the images you downloaded were not the images you thought you downloaded... or you saved the wrong screenlog file... or the bullseye images contain u-boot from the wrong release... or somehow you're loading u-boot from some other media, such as eMMC? I actually need to reinstall a cuboxi4pro maybe by the end of the week, so I will test it myself then. live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Going through the attached log, this calls my attention: > MMC: FSL_SDHC: 1, FSL_SDHC: 2^M > Loading Environment from MMC... *** Warning - bad CRC, using default > environment^M which seems to mean that the bootloader isn't finding what it expects. This could be due to a bad MMC card, or to something going wrong with the dd, or to the Cubox needing something different than what you have got. Unless you are quite sure about the third, I'd try to eliminate the first two ones. Typically such an installer is a partitioned disk: if you insert the card into your Linux box: can you see the partitions? Can you mount them? Then this: > mmc1 is current device^M > Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110^M > CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [e59ff01c, e59ff91c]^M > timeout exit!^M > CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [e59ff01c, e59ff91c]^M > timeout exit!^M Are you sure your MMC card is working as it should? They are known to be of... varying quality. Cheers -- t signature.asc Description: PGP signature
