Great, Guidol!
 
Thank you very much for this good news. I wil try it out! Thanks for the one that solved the problem.
 

Great work Guidol! Thanks for all your tireless efforts!

As an experiment i tried running Arch Linux on my NanoPi a64 with 4.15.0-rc5. It's a pine64 image . To my total surprise it works. But it's no Armbian though...

I do have a serial cable. If i do find the time this evening I'll check the output AND I'll test the arch-linux

Actually, I have no idea why armbian won't boot on the nanopi A64. I can see some u-boot-activity but after that the board goes to a halt. It has to be a kernel issue in my perspective but I have no serial cable so I can't check anything. Sorry that I can't be of more help in this.
The arch-linux image boots fine, gives a fully functional xfce-desktop, automatically in the proper resolution (for me currently 1440x900). I had only to attach a wifi dongle for internet. Sound works flawless to.

In the meanwhile I think I found the source of the problem. A change of hdmi2vga adapter did the trick. The faulty adapter contained some kind of soundcard that triggered the CPU. Sorry for the disturbance!

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. My monitor gets unresponsive on reboot. It's probably due to my hdmi to vga-converter. Still, great work from the Armbian-developers!

Hi,
 
I've managed to get my screensettings to 1280x1024 by filling out fb0_width = 1280 and fb0_height = 1024 in the script.fex file. And than rebuild my script.bin. It allready performes a lot better on my monitor. But there is no refresh rate (0,0) so the fonts are very blurry. Is there a way to adjust the refresh rate in the fex file? By the way, I'm using a hdmi-vga connector.
 
Thanks for all your great work on Armbian!!
