@Khadas Tnx for the information. I have VONTAR QTV Q1, internals are the same. Will be great to have linux on a such small device for multiple purpose. Will follow this topic. 🤝

I've done quite a bit of searching and can't find anyone else reporting this specific issue. As the title says any 6.8 image I try fails to boot. The LED is red for approx 4 seconds, turns green for 2 or 3 seconds, and then turns red again and stays that way no matter how long I wait. There is never any video regardless of which HDMI port I use. I've tried the following images: Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.85_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.8.12_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.8.10_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.8.10_xfce_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_edge_6.8.10_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz 6.1 images work fine. I get the immediate blinking purple-ish indicator and video with the middle HDMI port. Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img.xz The closest thing to my problem I could find was this I'm aware these folks are using 5B not 5 Plus but I went ahead and tried this anyway unplugging the HDMI to see if it would boot. That didn't work either. I know sometimes certain image writers work while others don't. I've tried writing these images in balena etcher, rufus, and raspberry pi writer. This doesn't seem to effect the situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I finally got wifi working on a fresh install of 24.5.1. Video acceleration is working perfectly in Chromium but I am not having any luck playing h264 mp4 videos with hardware acceleration in vlc or mpv. Is this possible or am I missing something? CPU is around ~30% with chromium playing 4k youtube but if I play one of my mp4 files it's a solid 130%

So I did a fresh install from the last official build I had saved from June 2023: > Armbian_23.5.2_Nanopineo_bookworm_current_6.1.30 Dear @dave3 I had the same problem with my three NanoPi Neo2 (the H5 version of the Neo) I went for the (latest) 6.1.36 image and did also the freeze kernel/firmware (now they are running cool/stabe:

Maybe. However nothing we could do anything about.
