Unfortunately I am not a coder. I will depend on this method for the foreseeable future. I like the idea of the blue light showing disk activity. I did set aside /extlinux but then it fails the same old way.

Ok, I don't understand this but it works for me, I'd like to help others but don't know how this works.

YES!! Boots just fine, resizes the partition, asks all the questions and I can log in and get root. No failed systemd services and top is the top process in top. Did an update and upgrade, rebooted, and it's fine. Only thing is no blue light, at all. Do I have to do all of this forever?

sda 8:0 1 116.5G 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 1 1.9G 0 part 9e5054cd-01

I had hope, but same old problem. # dd if=/home/bill/dl/Armbian_22.02.2_Odroidn2_bullseye_current_5.10.103.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M status=progress # tar -xzf u-boot-meson.tgz # dd bs=512 seek=1 conv=notrunc,fsync if=u-boot-meson.bin of=/dev/sda Put in the card, plug it in, and it drops to (initramfs).

file-upload.net got a big red warning page on Firefox as hosting harmful files. And your file is only 600kB?

Igor just takes the saveset straight from Debian's ARM port and builds it their way: So you go for this, compile your own and settle for CLI. Nah, (initramfs) again. Well having something is better than nothing, right? You settle for Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidn2_bullseye_current_5.10.60.img . Yay, it boots! But think you're going to be a smartazz and do an apt full-upgrade? Sure, it works. But reboot... and now you are at (initramfs) again, and dead in the water. Fail.

So for those who have the Odroid N2+, Armbian is not maintained. I've tested most releases and found that they stopped working at Armbian_21.08.9_Odroidn2 If you choose an Ubu image 21.08.1 or older, it works but you can't get updates because they're no longer on Ubu's site. It may be that the N2 still works, but the N2+ certainly doesn't. I don't know any more about what to do about this.

Yes the Mate image works fine. Also does one from c0rnelius in IRC. It is definitely an Armbian problem, but it seems that Igor has better things to do.

Nobody else has an n2 or n2+. No current Armbian image works.

Unfortunately console does not work. I have to power down the N2+ and put the SD card in my laptop to pull logs. How is it that this log is not informative? What else can I do? No Armbian image works on the N2+.

Armbian_22.05.4_Odroidn2_jammy_current_5.10.123_xfce_desktop.img ... comes up with the Armbian logo and circling dots... But the dots go on for an hour and a half. Here's what /var/log/bootstrap.log looks like.
