Rock64 - not booting after Armbian update

[arm rock64 user]

I have Rock64 Ver.2 - 1gb model.
 
Was working fine with Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.211_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.21 - boot from micro SD card

On SSH, I updated to latest version Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13. Now it does not boot from micro SD card.

I had another micro sd card. I flashed new Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13 - does not boot.

I had another micro sd card. I flashed OLD Armbian 24.5.0-trunk.211_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.6.21 - it boots. Then updated to latest Armbian & does not boot anymore.

Looks like some " Flashing_u-boot_to_SPI_Flash " - problem.

Please help.

Thanks in advanced

I don't have that USB serial adapter + cable.

FYI. I tested booting Rock64 with latest images, but there are several revisions of this hardware and not all might work (well).

Hi Igor,

 

I have Rock64 Ver.2 - 1gb model. Please let me know what is yours? Ver. 2 or 3?

I also have Rock64 Ver.2 - 1gb model.

Fresh install of Armbian_25.2.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.13_minimal.img.xz works. After apt upgrade the board does not boot anymore. Repeated the process and same result. I don't know what caused the issue, but did notice the kernel was upgraded to 6.12.20

I have rock64 2gb board very old probably v1.  I have armbian 23.8 or something and had to hold back kernel and update to 25.2.3..  then upload alternate kernel to 6.6.63..  so thats where am now..  seems to be stable.
