rk3288 tinker: Ubuntu image not booting

[Jagan]

Hi,

 

I've downloaded Ubuntu-mainline image at https://www.armbian.com/tinkerboard/

and written to SD as below but Hang while booting.

Yes, I'm using Class 10 Kingston and formatted as well. Still the same issue.

No need to format anything. Check is crucial that's why we suggest Etcher and if you can, try some other SD card.  I am not sure exactly for image which you are trying, but this one: https://dl.armbian.com/tinkerboard/nightly/Armbian_5.35.171130_Tinkerboard_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.14.2_desktop.7z was tested personally and it works this way:
 

 

4.14.y is recommended since we are ditching 4.13.y ASAP.

Sorry I've seen same issue with different SD card, I see /boot/boot.cmd has setenv fdt_file "rk3288-miqi.dtb" which I've changed to rk3288-tinker.dtb but issue still there.

if you change the dtb it will be to "rk3288-miniarm.dtb" as that was the original name of the board.  I've stuck with it because of consistency to the 4.4 kernel.

 

But to be clear, I'm not sure how that would be the issue, I admit I haven't built an image in a couple days, but...

Is the CPU becoming burning hot during when it hangs ? Your issue sounds like @Tido's issue in the GPU Driver? thread.

 

What kind of display do you use ? And also what is its resolution ?

[Tido]

@Myy, the combination of your Kernel with Armbian caused a hot CPU

 

I ran the latest fresh install with: Armbian_5.34._Tinkerboard_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.14.0-rc6_desktop.img   and this worked flawlessly.
