Boot fails into initramfs (Rock 3A)

Recommended Posts

Hello, 
I recently bought a Rock 3A and trying to use Armbian, I am very newbie in this area.

 

I tried few options available (22.08.2 Jammy & Sid) for Rock 3A from here but in all of them the boot fails and falls into endless initramfs

 

Can you give me a hint what could be cause of this?

Have a read of https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Basic-Troubleshooting/

Basic issues why a board will not start is a PSU that does not supply enough voltage and current to the board and also a SD card that's not suitable for use with such a SOC board.

What's the maximum rated current and voltage that the PSU can supply to the Rock 3A?

What make/manufacturer and speed class is the SD card?  Is it a standard SD card or an A1 rated card?
