joeltoh95 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I have an orange pi 2e running armbian, after using armbian-config to switch to the mainline kernel, my board wont boot ( no display output ) I tried running armbian with a new image on a SD card but the board wont turn on ( also no display ) any ideas?

Igor Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Mainline support for H3 is not (labeled) stable yet. There was a regression in HDMI driver and your board should boot but without a display. If you build your own image, the display should also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, ... there are too many possible problems. In this case, you need to attach a serial console to see where it stops. But I would rather suggest you start and stay on stable builds until those mainline are not fully stable. If you want to use the mainline/modern kernel anyway, you have to be ready that sometimes you will need to rescue your system manually. It's simply not yet polished for end users. Add. There was a change in upstream network driver on all H3/H5/A64 boards a few weeks ago and it broke everything. I managed to fix H3/H5 while A64 remain broken.

joeltoh95 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Don't mind me asking. How do I attach a serial port to the SBC? I am only familiar with ethernet/usb based console ports on servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
