Akash17 Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Neither versions (Bionic or Buster) imgs available on this site boot up on my Rock Pi 4 board. I've had it for a week. It does with Debian which reports excellent power and it also boots Android 9. Yes I've tried many thoroughly tested SDs. If you haven't personally tried booting these images as they are on your newer Rock Pi 4 board please don't respond to this message. Board: Not on the list

Tido Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 1. Provide a log from serial console or take a screenshot Use USBimager to write SDcard, try different power supply // sent from mobile phone //
Igor Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Just now, Tido said: Provide a log from serial console or take a screenshot No need to provide anything. It is most likely a classical problem with SPI bootloader which workaround is written on the download pages. I highly suspect this note: “How to solve boot troubles with SPI enabled boards? 1 (variant 2)” was not noticed here https://www.armbian.com/rock-pi-4/

Igor Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 4 minutes ago, smartwell said: do you test on rockpi4a No, its a model B, but that doesn't count - they are identical in this and we had a delay, but not anymore. Its related to the bootloader ... you can search for https://github.com/armbian/build/commits/master to see when this was fixed in case that interests you.
Igor Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 BTW. I am using self made image from latest sources. I am not 100% sure this delay was fixed on the images from the download section ...
piter75 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 14 hours ago, smartwell said: it needs 2 mintues, so ....... what can i do ???? The fix for RockPi 4 boot delay is quite fresh. At this point you can use latest nightly images (built after 3rd of May), build the image yourself or wait for v20.05 ;-)

smartwell Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) i tried stop bluetooth.service, yes start up is fast i try latest nightly images , it is ok, thanks everyone， armbian is a great job @Igor interesting thing: when i erase SPI boot loader, board can't boot up, so i update SPI flash with bootloader , the latest images works fine, so ........... next question: how to rotate screen ? now i just know xrandr, it is not efficient method.
