ok, thanks, i will follow the next steps on your link

i flashed file Armbian_21.05.1_Tinkerboard_buster_legacy_4.4.213_xfce_desktop.img.xz to SD i booted and followed boot log through serial , log above i got the error : ** File not found /boot/dtb/rk3288-tinker-s.dtb ** so i get to the conclusion that the current 4.4.213 build for tinkerboard is broken. do you agree ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U-Boot 2018.11-armbian (May 06 2021 - 19:47:58 +0000) Model: Tinker-RK3288 DRAM: 2 GiB MMC: dwmmc@ff0c0000: 1, dwmmc@ff0f0000: 0 Loading Environment from EXT4...

u-boot version 4.4213 once updated with apt-get install tries to find the file /boot/dtb/rk3288-tinker-s.dtb. It acts as the 5.9.14 version. if i copy /boot/dtb/rk3288-tinker.dtb to /boot/dtb/rk3288-tinker.dtb , yes ,it boots i will try another test : download current 4.4.213 version of armbian, and check it. before apt-get upgrade and after.

i have 2 tinkerboard, one S and one not S. i have several SD cards with 4.4.213 and 5.9.14 how could i have done that ? you mean upgrading to 5.9.14 and downgrading to 4.4.213 ? i am not able to that i had issues with a small lcd panel with 5.9.14. so i made a lot of tests with 5.9.14 but never managed to have it work fine. so i reversed back to 4.4.213 but i only download ambian images, write them to SD or emmc, and then apt-get upgrade them. i am not good enough on linux kernel to try to make any change on them or something a bit 'clever' and how could my current working 4.4.213 version, just applying a apt-get upgrade, got some 5.9.14 update for u-boot ? what i find to be installed as u-boot packages before apt-get update are : linux-u-boot-tinkerboard-legacy/bionic,now 20.11.3 armhf [installed,upgradable to: 21.05.1] u-boot-tools/now 2019.07+dfsg-1ubuntu4~18.04.1 armhf [installed,upgradable to: 2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu0~18.04.2] and after apt-get upgrade still on 4.4.213: linux-u-boot-tinkerboard-legacy/bionic,now 21.05.1 armhf [installé] u-boot-tools/bionic-updates,now 2020.10+dfsg-1ubuntu0~18.04.2 armhf [installé]

so i made progress serial is working ont TTYS2 i mounted the SD card not booting as USB media. i have an error message saying : ** File not found /boot/dtb/rk3288-tinker-s.dtb ** in the dtb folder, i have no rk3288-tinker-s.dtb file i only have : rk3288-tinker.dtb on a working 5.9.14 kernal Armbian, i have in dtb folder : -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55821 déc. 11 22:00 rk3288-tinker-s.dtb on a working 4.4.213, on which i did not do an apt-get upgrade i have : -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 70323 Dec 11 21:57 rk3288-tinker.dtb and no -s command load ${devtype} ${devnum} ${fdt_addr_r} ${prefix}dtb/${fdtfile} in boot.cmd might be the issue : it seems that "apt-get upgraded 4.4.13 kernel" finds my board to be a tinker-s, even it is not really a tinker-s the tinker i am testing on is not a tinker-s, no Emmcs on it. and the working 'not apt-get upgraded' 4.4.13 is a tinker-s but has only rk3288-tinker.dtb and is booting fine. copying rk3288-tinker.dtb to rk3288-tinker-s.dtb fixed the issue. and regarding third party software , i have none, i am running python scripts i wrote on this Armbian device. and Node.js running javascript. nothing that goes into U-Boot complete bootup text is : U-Boot 2018.11-armbian (May 06 2021 - 19:47:58 +0000) Model: Tinker-RK3288 DRAM: 2 GiB MMC: dwmmc@ff0c0000: 1, dwmmc@ff0f0000: 0 Loading Environment from EXT4...

and i dealt with my problem ! i avoid doing apt-get update for now and my system is up and running. but i also got back from storage an USB serial cable, and i will check serial communication using my second board and an SD running the same issue i had on the emmc version. and don't be condescendant, i am a 50 years old IT coder, since i am 11. i checked your link after i sent the answer, and what i provided is important. if users never come here to tell what's wrong, would you be able to find all issues by yourself ?

Hello, yesterday i got a powerloss , and my Asus tinkerboard got shutdown. i think i had some updates installed but not yet rebooted the Tinkerboard never restarted again. i first suspected a crashed Emmc disk but i did the following tests and got to the conclusion that Armbian for Tinkerboard is currently broken - restored a past complete image to either SD or Emmc : boots ok. - shutdown then unplug/replug power : OK - update with apt-get update + apt-get upgrade => reboot OK, but shutdown, and then never restart, bricked. shutdown down either with desktop or command line tested also with a second Tinkerboard with no Emmc, SD re-image from working backup, boot on SD : OK. apt-get upgrade. reboot : OK. shutdown => bricked. what can i check on my SD card ( i installed a Windows ext2/ext4 explorer) to correct the issue ?
