x2goserver works good in all of my images. I'll upload the installation package ...

The script vom SD card to EMMC works perfekt.
The other wayfrom EMMC to SD has the problem.
I copied extra with the thunar file manager the files from emmc-boot to SC-Card-boot

If you have the problem with ethernet not working, it is probably because the wrong uImage* and/or script.bin.* was copied to uImage and/or script.bin.

"... all the old images of the work..." If you mean, the old images do not work with the new uImage/script.bin, read carefully about upgrading the old images in the 1st post.

Was just curious about the partitions.

I don't think it is OPi specific, I think it has something ...

Plex had worked for me after apt-get update & apt-get upgrade.

I had tried it again on clear debian-server image from /resourses/download

Boot with new writed image, install ssh with uart, apt-get update & apt-get install plexmediaserver (with no manual installing), plex don't work 'no such file or directory'.
Then did apt-get upgrade, reboot, plex had started automaticaly.
sudo service plexmediaservice stop & sudo service plexmediaservice start works too.

I had tried to install plex by this manual no any success, it had installed well, but dind't started.

Now it's working good and it had updated 2 times after install.

Does new image (debian jessie mini) will work with monitor (1080p 50Hz) or tv (1080p 50hz) or tv (analog) too ?

When it had installed and booted - all memory will be aviable for RAM or some will be reserved for GPU? If memory has reserved does it have any way to make "without GPU"? I'm ready to spend 5 minutes with UART for more aviable memory at future.

P.S. Great job! Thanks!
P.P.S. "You don't have to resize SD Card before installation on EMMC if you don't plan to use it." Does it meen system will use whole eMMC (8Gb) automatilcally?

Hello Loboris,

You make my PLUS alive, I was about to bury it when I found out that the official software support sucks. Now it just misses the GPU driver, which is nice compared to official images. With install_to_emmc script, I can reuse my sd card for something else and makes the emmc usable.

One thing that bugs me is that `install_to_emmc btrfs` doesn't seem to work well on my PLUS (`install_to_emmc` only works fine). There are many problems but the main one is due to the btrfs partition being mounted read only, that makes lightdm, logs and some other services failed to start. Upon looking at /etc/fstab, it's marked as ext4 partition, is this correct or wrong?

EDIT:
I see that desktop scripts are updated a day after the images, will try the latest install_to_emmc script. The diff looks correct.

Memory is shared with gpu.
You have ~1003MB memory available (on boards with 1GB RAM).
I don't think it is possible to disable gpu memory usage.
If you need more memory there is (will be) Orange PI-PLUS2 with 2GB of memory.
You can select monitor resolution copying the desired script.bin.* to script.bin (hdmi)
You can use hdmi->vga adapter to connect to VGA monitor.
install_to_emmc always uses the whole eMMC.

It will work with new script. Sorry for the bug in the old script.
@raid3868
I looks like you also used the old install_to_emmc script. Please replace the line which mounts / in fstab with:

/dev/mmcblk0p2 / btrfs subvolid=0,noatime,nodiratime,compress=lzo 0 1

Copy code

that way linux partition will be mounted with compress option.
It is fast (maybe faster than without it on slow drives) and saves lot of space.
