Hi Team,
I hope you're all keeping well.
I'm into my first foray into armbian, and I'm having trouble just getting it to boot on my Nanopi R6S. Feeling a bit thick, like I'm missing something obvious.
I can get FriendlyELEC's rk3588-sd-debian-bookworm-core-6.1-arm64-20240511 to boot without any trouble, but not armbian images.
My procedure:
Format microSD card with the SD Card Formatter from the SD Association
Burn image to SD card with balena etcher
Eject microSD reader from my PC
Pop microSD into the device and apply power
When it boots into the FriendlyELEC image:
the SYS light shines solid red for about 3 seconds
then the SYS light starts blinking
After a short while, the WAN light comes on for about 2 seconds then goes off.
The SYS light continues blinking.
When I try an armbian image:
the SYS light just shines solid red ad infinitum. It also does the same with no SD card at all.
Things I've tried:
Two separate microSD cards, both will happily boot the FriendlyELEC images
Three type-C power supplies (two Lenovo OEM 65W supplies that I use with my laptop + a Belkin 100W PD unit that gets used for everything)
Waiting a long time for anything to happen on screen or with the LEDs
I have also tried win32diskimager to burn the images to the microSD cards to ensure it's not a problem with balena
Cleared any bootloader on the eMMC while booted into the FriendlyELEC image (per the FriendlyELEC wiki)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=8M count=1
Armbian images I've tried:
My own built Armbian images - very impressed with armbian-build!

Am I doing something obviously wrong?
