Hi @fabiobassa
Thanks for your input. I believe this board has eMMC only—the storage chip is KLMAG1JENB-B041 (image attached, RAM visible too). Multitool also confirms eMMC when attempting to burn an image.
Interestingly, CPU-Z shows Rockchip 3066 logo, while ADB reports RK3229. I trusted the ADB output more, and seeing Multitool running, I believe it’s an RK3229 only. I haven’t removed the heatsink yet to verify physically. I am attaching hardware report that i could extract using adb.
Any idea why Multitool runs fine but no Armbian image boots? I’ve tried 2024 Ubuntu/Debian builds and a latest self-compiled Armbian image using Armbian Build, tried both flashing to eMMC and run from SD, including using the hidden button, nothing works—LED blinks, but no HDMI output.
I really want to run linux on this
Again thanks for all your contribution in the thread.
Edit1- Attaching Multitool Dmesg too, if it helps.
