the problem with plus is that we haven't uEnv.txt

If you have boot.scr then send that instead.

where I find it?

In boot folder on mmc.

Hi, I can't run my oPi Plus, so I can't test it. I bought it because of SATA and Gigabit lan so I hope it is possible to boot up from SATA.

Could someone please create step-by-step guide for booting from SATA on Orange Pi Plus?

Thank you very much.

You cannot boot from sata, you need to have the boot partition in emmc or sd card, than you can point theme to the sata disk.

Petr

Yes, I know that. But how I can point to SATA disk? I see only uImage file on boot partiton. It is not like rPi, where I can edit the config file. Thank you.

piento

Yes. How we can point it?

You can easily boot from USB disk/sata drive, look at this.
