I'm looking forward to buying a BIGTREETECH Pi v1.2 board to use as a slim home server to replace my Orange Pi PC. I've had pretty good experience with Armbian so far and I would like to make sure I can continue using it with the new board. I didn't find a specific image for BTT Pi v1.2, but I did find a "Desktop > ARM64" entry. I'm confused on what should I use and whether it's supported at all. Can someone clarify that for me?

Hello, very now to Linux and Armbian and have a BIGTREETECH PAD 7 (a BIGTREETECH CB1 with built in screen https://github.com/bigtreetech/Pad7/blob/master/BIGTREETECH Pad 7 v1.0 User Manual.pdf ). I would really like to be able to run old-school Doom on it and was wondering if someone could tell me if it is possible, and then point me in the right direction of a noob-friendly tutorial if it is possible. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Recent images don't boot on BigtreeTech PI V1.2 boards. These are the last log lines I get over the serial: Starting kernel ... Loading, please wait...

I also updated kernel package to linux-image-edge-sun50iw9-btt (6.2.16-edge-sun50iw9-btt), and it works as well. Images that did NOT work: Armbian_24.2.1_Bigtreetech-cb1_bookworm_current_6.6.16_minimal.img.xz (current stable from the website), also I tried the latest nightly build Armbian_24.5.0-trunk.36_Bigtreetech-cb1_trixie_edge_6.7.5_minimal.img.xz I've looked around while in initramfs, and I don't see any /dev/mmcblk0* devices. Also, dmesg doesn't show anything about my SDHC card. For comparison, image that works has this in dmesg output: [ 1.925594] mmc1: host does not support reading read-only switch, assuming write-enable [ 1.928794] mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa [ 1.929630] mmcblk1: mmc1:aaaa SK32G 29.7 GiB [ 1.931786] mmcblk1: p1 p2 p3 [ 2.094288] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: initialized, max. request size: 16384 KB, uses new timings mode [ 2.095415] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2752K [ 2.095533] Run /init as init process [ 2.095540] with arguments: [ 2.095545] /init [ 2.095550] splash [ 2.095555] splash [ 2.095560] nofb [ 2.095565] with environment: [ 2.095569] HOME=/ [ 2.095573] TERM=linux [ 2.095578] ubootpart=5d175d74-01 [ 2.095583] cgroup_enable=memory [ 2.100579] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: card claims to support voltages below defined range Image that does not work has this (note -- no logs regarding SDHC card): [ 1.605257] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: initialized, max. request size: 16384 KB, uses new timings mode [ 1.611428] sunxi-mmc 4021000.mmc: card claims to support voltages below defined range [ 1.622065] mmc0: new high speed SDIO card at address 0001 [ 1.636956] usb usb8: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0001, bcdDevice= 6.07 [ 1.636974] usb usb8: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, SerialNumber=1 [ 1.636983] usb usb8: Product: Generic Platform OHCI controller [ 1.636990] usb usb8: Manufacturer: Linux 6.7.5-edge-sunxi64 ohci_hcd [ 1.636997] usb usb8: SerialNumber: 5101400.usb [ 1.637568] hub 8-0:1.0: USB hub found [ 1.637623] hub 8-0:1.0: 1 port detected [ 1.639238] Freeing unused kernel memory: 3072K [ 1.652717] Run /init as init process [ 1.652736] with arguments: [ 1.652741] /init [ 1.652746] with environment: [ 1.652751] HOME=/ [ 1.652755] TERM=linux [ 1.652760] splash=verbose [ 1.652765] ubootpart=6aa635ca-01 [ 1.652770] cgroup_enable=memory

I couldn't find a topic with this device, although support is announced, so I'm posting here. To moderators: please create an appropriate section. How to unlock UART1 and UART2 on this device?
