Armbian and libreELEC no joy....sadly

off topic but LibreELEC works using the same method and same files but using the LibreELEC s905 Img.

2gb yep that worked

confirm works... booted to xenial desktop. Did it slightly differently. I used dd to burn the armbian img to mmcblk0 edited "fusing.sh" to use mmcblk0 (has two entries for mmcblk1 which I don't have on my ubuntu laptop) Works perfect. Great Job !!!

Yes true. but there's no fun in that. Sometimes "finding a diamond in the rough" is worth the risk. When RPI was born, who knew it was going to be a success. I ordered an RPI B immediately it came available to order. As for no support....that's the wonder of the internet... its a frankly amazes me everyday the power of the collective mind.

if you wouldn't mind pls when you got two ticks. Can you do some steps etc. Super Job btw well impressed. Many Ta's Boudyka

Fantastic ....did we need to reflash using TTL ? I didn't read above that you did that ? Just an disk image ? If so....really fantastic.....news.

finally got a reply from FriendlyArm....not very friendly NO....we aren't doing Debian....Android only!.....disappointed to say the least. @kicker22004 I have a TTL but have only ever flashed ESP8266 with it....I need to rewire it next weekend for the K2, so at some point yes it might be good for them to be shared somewhere please.

Thanks...... I get the impression over the last few days that FriendlyArm are a bit absent when it comes to answering any queries on their own forum sadly. I thank you for spotting the obvious that I to be honest didn't get as far as trying to build u-boot. As a Pi/Tinkerboard and now K2...this is getting it areas where I generally have stayed well clear of. Implementing and configuring stuff from ssh fine but getting stuff bootstrapped.....is stress level 10 for me

okay....dinner time. I look at that and the uart, I have a ftdi so I will rewire it and see whats where at uboot time.

dd the img to microsd (Did not try renaming dtb img files rename etc) Inserted power on Greenlight came and bluelight too. Network activity light flashing but nothing on screen That's all I haven't tried any dtb copy rename yet.

at least android works......ho hum. Will have to just use it as a Kodi box for now and see if FriendlyArm expand on it. Pity.......

Ive realised I'm not reading the instructions. should I follow the freaktab guide ?...........first timer with this type of config. Armbian_5.27_S9xxx_Debian_jessie_3.14.29_server_20170428.img I now see I have to setup the boot etc. Apologies. all new to me.
