First :
i downloaded both Armbian versions for "Orange Pi+ 2" but reported link file names where different from those that actually download :
a) link says https://dl.armbian.com/orangepiplus/Ubuntu_xenial_default_desktop.7z, but download file is Armbian_5.38_Orangepiplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.7z
b) 2nd link says https://dl.armbian.com/orangepiplus/Debian_stretch_next.7z, but download is Armbian_5.38_Orangepiplus_Debian_stretch_next_4.14.14.7z
Second :
after download i extracted both with : 7z e filename.7z
then i run etcher 1.4.4 cli : ./etcher -d /dev/sdd filename.img -y , result sdcard writed, then i inserted sdcard and boot it .
I never had a hdmi signal and green led still blinking in both images i tried .
Thanks in advance for any help
