Thanks guidol. The previous output was with the producer's instructions and their original Pi Prime image. I've tried it with armbian (the image you linked to) and two different SD cards. The other one is a Sandisk Ultra 32GB (class 10). Both cards give the same output (with the armbian image): U-Boot SPL 2018.11-armbian (Feb 08 2019 - 11:30:47 +0100) DRAM: 2048 MiB Trying to boot from MMC1 NOTICE: BL31: v2.0(debug):30490b1 NOTICE: BL31: Built : 19:11:09, Feb 6 2019 NOTICE: BL31: Detected Allwinner H5 SoC (1718) NOTICE: BL31: No DTB found.

I don't know if I can log in using the TTL connection, but pressing enter yielded no results.

Finally got the converter. Here is the result: HELLO!

Duckduckgoing didn't fetch me anything useful fo "Fail in checking uboot" nor "toc1 magic error". It looks like it's seeing the SD card properly, but then hits kernel panic. I'm guessing toc1 has something to do with the CPU.

Thanks for the blazingly fast reply Igor. I've tried booting after the board cooled down; I left it alone for an entire night, but to no avail. Perhaps it's a good idea to add a warning that a heatsink is required on the hardware page. I'll have a look around if I can do that myself.

Hi, My Orange Pi Prime stopped working within an hour of use. Setup: Orange Pi Prime v1.0 (201811) Official PSU, rated 5V 3A Official plastic case (without heatsinks) Display attached using HDMI Network attached 100mA keyboard attached SD Card: Sandisk 64G Ultra SD Card tested "The real thing" SD Card formatted to factory defaults Images (Armbian Stretch next for Orange Pi Prime) checked for authenticity and integrity SD flashed using Etcher First boot succesful Installed tmux Set up SSH using armbian-config and used it to connect Installed docker using armbian-config successfully When trying to install ISPConfig: the SSH connection timed out, and when I switched my screen back to HDMI I could see the display was corrupted (colored streaks), armbian-config's did give a generic error message (something like "Error during installation"). The Pi Prime did not respond, the case was quite warm. After that I could not get it to boot again. I've tried both Armbian images, and one of the Debian server Orange Pi Prime images. Measured supply voltage (at the barrel connector's pins): 5.25V On further inspection I saw some discoloration on the CPU and on one of the memory chips: The ambient room temperature is around 21 degrees celcius I don't have a USB to TTL converter yet. I also measured some of the resistors and found that R3 (KEYADC to AVCC and KEYLADC) was only 39K instead of 100K as it should be according to the schematics.
