I have also just received the 1 gig Espressobin board from Amazon. One of the first things I did was document the installed firmware and save the results. As received the board appears to have been loaded with 'v1.2(release):armada-17.02.0' The processor and DDR speeds were listed as 'CPU @ 1000 [MHz]' and 'DDR @ 800 [MHz]' respectively. So I loaded the 'flash-image-1g-1000_800_boot_sd_and_usb.bin' firmware and installed armbian on a microSD card. This resulted in kernel panics within a half minute of boot every time. Installing the 800_800 version firmware has resulted in stable operation.
