Odd. Should more look like this. Also the first time I hear there is an issue like this. Perhaps retry now since your group is no longer validation but members. https://x.na4.eu/KOTu3/PACoFIsE81.jpg

Try the X11 windowing manager or the Wayland compositor without lightdm (or another display manager).

Thanks @Werner for the button-descriptions, but I simply don't see anything you're describing. Tried in 2 different browsers (LibreFox, Chromium). It still says "P3ter: Validating" next to my "P"-Icon. Maybe I don't have the rights yet? LibreFox has NoScript on, but allowing from armbian.com - and chromium as test-browser has all scripts enabled: So it shouldn't be a script-blocker issue.

@Jerry Falken I am pretty sure you jumped in this 3ad without reading all of it, and this is unfair . You are right, it is huge, but such question you ask have been already answered in the past many times , and I will answer just as a form of courtesy , but will not go back in the future on the same question again If you look at your board you can spot 3 pads : tx rx gnd . That is all is needed, no 5 volts just tx rx gnd Those pads are the "uart" , in other words there you will see ALL that happens when the board starts, if is a rk 322x or other fake print, if it is ddr3 or ddr2 manyyyyy manyyy infos to debug the whole process. For me it is a 3229 with ddr3 memory but uart will tell you Go find in the 1st post the speed of uart to use with putty or minicom ( spoiler :1500000 🙃 ) just for sake of coriousity, this si the setting I have in my lab: ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS a uart connected to debug what is going so if you need answer.. post the right questions and not generic ones g on

Output of the USB TTL converter or of another chip? the one's I've seen online have 5 pins, but you only mentioned three places for the pins to go to, that is unless the 5v and 3.3v lines aren't needed for this specific use case. For curiosity's sake, what should i expect to see from something like that? I'll need to purchase that, so while it arrives, is there any chance that the CPU simply had an incorrect print, and i need another version of Multitool? Sorry for asking so many questions, just that i have little experience doing this.
