ROCK64 BY PINE64 don't boot

[tomtim45]

Good morning:

I've got a ROCK64 and it does't boot from few days. White; Red and Green led stand with light. nothing change even after minutes. I've tried rock64-debian-mrfixit-190531.img.xz, , freedombox-bookworm_all-arm64.img.xz, debian-12.11.0-arm64-netinst.iso, But never go further.

Do you have an idea ?

I've got a 5A power so should not be a problem.

none of these are Armbian images. We do not support 3rd party OS.

Ok i used Armbian_25.5.1_Rock64_bookworm_current_6.12.28_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz

And same problem.

- there are several revisions of Rock64 and not all work so the problem is similar to cheap TV boxes, which are assembled from random hardware parts

- released images (at least Debian minimal) work on my revision, however I didn't test HDMI output

 

Try attaching serial console to see where it stops, check if it gets up on the network ... perhaps its "just" broken HDMI.

I'll try
