Noob here, so… Loaded CoreElec on thumb drive and install on 1st boot successful, but Reboot to eMMC/NAND is not available on the power options menu. Reviewed the /addons/skin.estuary/xml/DialogButtonMenu.xml file using ssh and the appropriate lines of code exist, but the option to reboot from eMMC/NAND does not present. I have not loaded an alternate skin. I installed the nightly build -
[CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.1.1-Omega_nightly_20241206-Generic.img.gz224.30MB2024-12-06 05:27:16] on my DUNE HD Premier 4K Pro.
There is another interesting issue where the internal SSD goes unrecognized as soon as I boot to coreelec from the thumbdrive and it has to be reformatted for the Dune Box to recognize it.
Should I try the stable build to see if this gets fixed?
I tried all possible builds (stable and nightly), never saw the button appear. There must be some kind of device-specific criteria that does not work for our models.
Looking at /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary/xml/DialogButtonMenu.xml we can see that the button will only show up if there are a /dev/system or a /dev/userdata file.
<item>
<label>Reboot from eMMC/NAND</label>
<onclick>System.ExecWait("/usr/sbin/rebootfromnand")</onclick>
<onclick>Reset()</onclick>
<visible>System.PathExist("/dev/system") | System.PathExist("/dev/userdata")</visible>
</item>
Apparently (latest nightly-ng here), no such files are present for me, so the condition is just plain wrong for my device or build (?).
CoreELEC:/usr/share/kodi # ls /dev/system
ls: /dev/system: No such file or directory
CoreELEC:/usr/share/kodi # ls /dev/userdata
ls: /dev/userdata: No such file or directory
Until a proper fix is done, i copied the estuary skin to ~/.kodi/addons, removed the line, bumped the skin version to an arbitrary 5.0.0 in addon.xml and voilà, the button appears !
Thanks. Will this eventually get backported into ce21-ng nighlies ?
I know it is FINAL on coreelec:ce_dev_cycle [CoreELEC Wiki] but there are still some nightlies coming out, what is your maintenance policy(e.g. only backport critical fixes ?) ?
You need to run ceemmc -vx, choose single mode but don’t actually do the install (cancel it). But you will see partitions listed. Copy and paste text from console here in post.
