Toast Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hi trying to install Debian on my allwinner a20 board and been running into issues used this link http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Cubieboard2_Debian_3.8_jessie_3.4.107.zip the imagewriter doesnt really work for windows 8 keep on crashing and doesnt find the sd card so i used win32imager to write the raw file to the card checked so wrote the filesystem to the card the popped it into my Cubieboard and it detects that there is a sd card and then it messes up took a pic with my camera seems that it tries to tftp boot https://www.dropbox.com/s/nhzir29jyw4bjhf/IMG_20150526_162455.jpg?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Most important part is missing - try to catch what's before that. If card content cannot be read u-boot seeks for network boot ... There is probably something wrong with the card or the writing process. But since I don't have CB2 I am not 100% sure. Cubietruck images are working and Cubieboard2 is almost the same. But strange errors are always possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessplayer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hi, a different SD card did the trick for me. I also had a problem booting your latest images. I tried both the recommended one (Cubietruck_Debian_3.8_wheezy_3.4.107) as well as the Jessie one (Cubietruck_Debian_3.8_jessie_4.0.4), but there does not seem to be anything happening at all. So I downloaded an older version from the archives (Cubietruck_Debian_3.6_wheezy_3.4.107) and tried with that one - did not work either. Then, with a different SD card, everything was fine. Cherrs, chessplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
