Yasir Posted December 23, 2025 Posted December 23, 2025 Latest armbian firmwares fail to boot on vim3 and graphical desktop do not start. As a workaround I installed old armbian image from August 2024 which booted and worked fine but sudo apt upgrade installed new firmware and it fails to boot to desktop again. Fails on all images Xfce and gnome available on website. 0 Quote
Igor Posted January 10 Posted January 10 First testing on similar device (Odroid N2) didn't reveal any troubles. Need to locate VIM3 and try to recreate. 0 Quote
Yasir Posted January 11 Author Posted January 11 (edited) I don’t know about Odroid n2 but all the 2025.11 builds with graphical ui get stuck when the initial setup is completed and message appears “now booting to graphical session” and never boots 2024 builds do boot and stay normal I am using mainline uboot via spi boot.

Yasir Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 by the way i can ssh into armbian while it’s stuck on a black screen so i can provide any logs you want 0 Quote
