All working now! it was a bad flashing. I flashed using dd rather than etcher. Also others that had problems used etcher... maybe that was the reason... I used a command like: dd if=os.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress oflag=sync @Belgrado@Pongotto @gounthar

The kernel doesnt start, the serial log . 2 minutes after "starting kernel" i see the hearth beat but nothing happend. ( image of 19/3 and former )

I have no video in the last image 19/3 (that used to work), there is heart beat but doesnt connect to lan.

Some requests: - with the last image 29/2 it take more than a minute to boot ! - audio doesnt seems to work at a first test. is it only me ? - pulse seems a bit too much for a sbc, by default... wasnt better simple alsa ? - why xfce and not lxde ? - I cant set a resolution (using settings) higher than 1080p, while using OP image I used 1440p pretty smooth... - even in power-save profile the cpu is hot!

You should ask the guys what the "direct firmware load error -2" is... Also you didn't tell what software u use to flash. Also post the dmesg of the emmc installation ?

Im not an expert but in your log look like it has trouble reading some firmware... u using a good sd card ? and what software to flash it ?

ok then there is a compatibily problem with you monitor... is it 16:9 ?

Do you see the green led blink ? ((unrelated:I'd love if that could be disabilitable))

Nobody ? well the website doesnt give much info... thats a bad, usually...

What you guys think of the Unisoc SC9863A ? 8 cores arm with integrated LTE modem, getting mainline support. This unisoc look like a company like mediatek... But the point is, the the modem is opensource or uses a blob ?

About temperatures... Sayd that I never used armbian with other boards... In this first test image, the soc is quite hot (with small heatsink). I think that by default, the board should be safe to use without fan / heatsink. Then there could be some preset optimized for use with heatsink, fan. Also interesting would be overclock and underclock.

yeah, im sceptical too...

it would have been great if recent rk3399 sbcs used rk3399k...

5.6 Media Updates Bring Improvements For Rockchip Users Rockchip RK3566, RK3588, RV1109 SoC’s Coming in 2020 Very interesting is the 4G LTE module if completely opensource and android-free, but no info at the moment...
