Following this guide, i was unable to create a booting EMMC device as U-Boot complained about a CRC error. But when changing a line, it all worked.

In line 14, you copy u-boot.bin but you never use this file later one. Instead you're using u-boot-dtb.bin in line 29 and 33. Doing this, rendered a CRC error for me. Using u-boot.bin it is working as expected. So, i would assume you have a typo.

hello and thanks for pointing this out - i just double checked and u-boot.bin and u-boot-dtb.bin are actually the same file. maybe you just had some hidden write error the first time you wrote the file resulting in that crc error?

the u-boot.bin i'm copying at the beginning is just there in case someone wants to chainload the u-boot which does not really make sense for the odroids, but i prefered to simply have the binary around somewhere.

best wishes - hexdump

thanks a lot for the positive feedback - that was actually my intention for setting up this repo (and some others around it): to collect all the information which is often spread across the net (git repos, mailing lists, irc logs etc.) at one place in a verifed to be working way so that others do no longer have to puzzle together all those pieces on their own again and again each time. and having such a place as a git repo offers also the opportunity for others to report potential errors or problems in it as you did ... the wonderful world of open source :)
