Thanks, I was looking at that file but needed to crash for the night. I'll update the video and file links later.

gxbb_p200_2G.dtb

Ok thanks for all of the help here guys, I'm glad to share what we have managed to get loading and let others do this until armbian is fully supported on the Nanopi-k2.
 
 
Check out the video and downloads are in the discription.

Ok guys, I've put together a video guide and files needed for this. Ubuntu images load as well!
 
Video is encoding right now and will be up soon.

I want to get this building first so that it's easier and we don't have to use the modified .dtb file
Also i'm looking to fix the led now from the Odroid. I'm learning myself.

Ok new update!. We have working desktop (debian xfce)!!
 
Working with gxbb_p200.dtb
HDMI USB Gigabite eth0 WIFI!!! Not working:
Blue led isn't flashing (does with the odroid-c2.dtb but nothing else) Still testing!  
 
 

No TTL, I don't have my USB-TTL in yet (in the mail). This was this image "Armbian_5.27_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_server_20170428.img". I'm attemping the debian xfce build now with the same settings. I'll keep you posted and upload my uboot files!

Ok we have a working system with USB/gigabit eth0!!!. Is there any other tests needed?
 
I used your modified file to build my Uboot and gxbb_p200.dtb and it's working!!!!

@boudicca Alright I've packaged up the files (uboot.bin/dtb/dts/kernel Image/All boot folder) into a zip file, I've included the fusing.sh filed and placed the uboot.bin in the correct directory so you SHOULD only need to give permissions to the fusing.sh file then run with the correct line.
 
Example: sudo ./fusing.sh /dev/sdX
 
If there is anything else that can help anyone here I've got the stock build saved so I can grab anything you need without having to build yourself.
Nanopi-k2_stock uboot&kernel.zip

I just got my board in the mail and was planning to install the Odroid-C2 Debian image but as we all know it will fail, My issue has been in building the Uboot for this device, I'm not able to pull the files from GitHub. Anyone been more successful?
 
This is the files i'm referring to. They seem to be missing.
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/uboot.git  
UPDATE: The link should read like this. The wiki was wrong!
git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/u-boot.git

If You are using the image Armbian, need to replace u-boot. Now all images Armbian uses u-boot for S905X (it is not suitable for S905). There is infa, how to replace u-boot. You need to use u-boot to s905.

I don't know what principle is download the uses on this Board. So what I say may be incorrect. You can try dual boot. To install the factory system (Android) to SD\eMMC card. Armbian to record to a USB stick. If on the media with regular Android, there is an external control script (similar like in C2 there is the Odroid boot.ini), add a line with the start of the script s905_autoscript (as is done in the multiboot).

What's stopping You to try the existing options to S905 ?
 
p/s
I don't know how compatible the hardware of this Board with other platforms.

I could not boot that image.
