Hi, I am a Raspberri Pi user who has just gotten his hands on a new Orange Pi Plus. The board came with Android preinstalled onto the eMMC, and of course when booting, I can't seem to find any way to select boot option, it just loads from the eMMC Flash. I do not want to run Android but Ubuntu, my SD card is ready to go, how do I kill the bloody Android installation or select boot priority to the sd card?

Please tell me there is someone who can help, I have been scowering the net for a day now trying to find a solution, I don't mind if you can tell me how to whipe the Android off of eMMc or tell me how to change boot priority to SD Card as I am pulling my hair out this side, I just need a way to boot into linux and not Android.

Kind regards,
Hank

Get Igor Pecovnic's (armbian) image for your board - it has kernel with buil-in modules for Allwinner H3 emmc interface. It also has pre-installed shell script 'install-to-emmc' which wipes android partitioning from emmc, creates a new one (it's a bit tricky - there is a reserved space for bootloader), transfers u-boot to bootloader space, copies boot and root filesystems to corresponding emmс partitions.
And that's it.

by default already comes configured to boot from SD card since you have a compatible distro recorded on the SD card
Search here distro compatible with H3

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely can i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you could have hit the nail around the head. Your concept is outstanding; the catch is an issue that too few persons are speaking intelligently about. I am happy we found this inside my hunt for some thing relating to this.        Bioma Probiotics for weight loss
