Finally Armbian 25.2.3 (kernel 6.12.20) fixes the boot problem on PC2! Upgrade from 23.11/6.1.x to 25.2.3/6.12.20

Yes, still broken, after six months, it's almost a record XD You can use 24.02 or 24.05 with old 6.1.xx kernel (disable kernel upgrade in armbian-config) Or better remove Armbian and use vanilla Debian: https://sd-card-images.johang.se/boards/orange_pi_pc2.html (try Bookworm 12.5 - kernel 6.1.190, 27/05/2024)

No, it's not 🙂 If you need something stable and safe, don't waste money on these crappy chinese sbc. Buy a LP Intel like a Dell Wise 5070 on ebay (~80/90€ with a Celeron J, 4/8GB RAM and a SSD) and install Debian o CentOS. is rock-solid and requires only 5/8 Watt.

@718aba Install the 23.11.2 on sd and block the kernel update in armbian-config, as recommended by Giulio. Configure everything and then make a full compressed backup of the whole SD with usbimager (gitlab).

Yes Giulio, it's probably the kernel... no version after 6.1.x works

Armbian 24.2 is broken on Orange PI PC2 (Debian Bookworm CLI) Latest stable community release: https://github.com/armbian/community/releases/download/24.5.0-trunk.123/Armbian_community_24.5.0-trunk.123_Orangepipc2_bookworm_current_6.6.20_minimal.img.xz With update 23.11 -> 24.2 the orange pi pc2 no longer starts. I tried a new sd installation and it too does not appear on the network. Right now I don't have a serial cable to check but it is possible that the network driver is missing or not working. SD, SBC and PSU are 100% working: a revert to 23.11.2 makes it work perfectly.
