Can you please post a link where I can download the Armbian OS .img? Because all I can find is the .y and a .7z file. In the mean time, I'll work on getting a USB adapter for my multimeter.

Hi, all - thanks for the input. I have a regular Tinker Board, not an S. The Armbian Stretch OS I downloaded for Tinker Bord is a .y file, not an .img and can only be burned with an SSH connection. I got it here: https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/ Is there a different place to get an .img version? Powering the Tinker Board with an AC adapter is going to be best for my project (rather than investing in a third ATX that puts out 5v+ power just for the Tinker Board. Also, I'm afraid of overpowering the board using the jumper pins). Should I look for a different 5.25v 2500 muA adapter or try to find something different?

Hi, all - I'm having the same problem. Kinda relieved to see that it's pretty common. I'm using a 5.25V 2500muA AC adapter to power my board and trying to run OS 2.0.7 from a SanDisk Ultra Plus 36G micro SD card and getting nothing. I've also tried running OS 1.8 with the same result. I can't get an ssh connection to my computer, so I'm connecting to my TV via HDMI. I downloaded Armbian like Per Buer recommended but it isn't an .img file and I can't upload it without an ssh connection. I've also tried disconnecting the mouse, keyboard and Ethernet so as not to tax the power supply. I've also let it sit, hoping that it's just thinking really hard on its initial boot-up, but it doesn't respond at all. The power is more than I need and the card seems to fit the specs. Any ideas about what else I can try?
