@ebin-dev What's the benefit to using Armbian's Bootloader over the factory images from Global Scale Technologies?

Looks like the RAM chip is on the bottom. Here are top and bottom photos of the board. Thank you for building those new images! It seemed to take just fine.

So after flashing this Armbian image with Etcher. And setting these environment variables in the EspressoBin console via serial connection: env default -a setenv ethaddr F0:AD:4E:05:36:97 setenv image_name boot/Image setenv fdt_name boot/dtb/marvell/armada-3720-espressobin.dtb setenv bootcmd 'mmc dev 0; ext4load mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr $image_name;ext4load mmc 0:1 $fdt_addr $fdt_name;setenv bootargs $console root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 rw rootwait net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0; booti $kernel_addr - $fdt_addr' saveenv run bootcmd I was only off by one character in the bootcmd --> root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 which was why it wasn't booting.
