So, as you probably figured out, I'm new to armbian. Your information was helpful. I couldn't get the legacy version to boot; I did check the SHA sum on the download was valid. I did get current to boot and was successful at flashing it to emmc. Very good. I loaded LXQT. I have 2 problems:
1) USB flashdrives do not show up on device notifier
2) No sound on video playnack, I assume all audio via HDMI is out.
As I see it my options are:
A) retry and reflash legacy
try to fix my current (current) setup - I'd like this if it isn't crazy
C) armbian-config had option to switch to other kernel. It had disclaimer warnings and a number of kernels to select from, which one will work, work best? Will I need to fix the same problem on that?
What do you all think is the easiest path for me?
I would like to thank you all again; I was very pleased to get the renegade to run off the emmc.
