Yup, I have burnt the image using etcher, I unfortunately do not own a UART cable.

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I frequent the LinusTechTips forum a lot, some of you may recognize it. Any way, my issue is with my Orange Pi R1. I've tried both Ubuntu Server and Debian server images and I can't seem to get either to work. I'm using a good OEM Samsung wall wart that can supply up to 2 amps, and I'm using a 32GB Sandisk microSD I pulled from a working Raspberry Pi 2. With the Ubuntu Server image I can get in on the first boot and make a new user, but once it reboots to expand the filesystem it seems like it'm outta luck. I assume the red LED flashes when the kernel is running as normal, and after the first reboot the red LED never flashes, I can't find it anywhere on my network, and I can't SSH to it. Even if I try rebooting it again, it never comes back. I think I waiting like, half and hour just to be sure and it never came back. On the Debian image I never even get the first boot to work, the red LED never flashes. Do I have a dead board here? Is 32GB too big? Thanks for the help.
