Hi everybody,
I have experienced something very similar on my rock64. The HDMI output isn't working -- is this normal with the headless armbian?
Also when starting the rock64 (most times on a soft reboot) with the armbian image, which is connected via ethernet -- it dosen't seem to use the ethernet connection. The rock is not pingable. Sometimes I have to hard reset the rock and/or to unplug the ethernet cable and replug it. Then it is pingable and I can connect via SSH.
This behaviour is very annoying and I am running out of ideas. I am thankful for every idea.
best regards
