Armbian 26.5.1 - Ubuntu 26.04 - Current doesn't boot

Got quite excited seen that the wifi driver is finally available and was going to test the browser and graphic acceleration in the current kernel but I flashed 3 times the Desktop image with Gnome/Current 6.18.33 and it did not boot. Is there possibly an issue with u-boot?

The board doesn't have single peep of green light with a recent image flashed.

Also nothing on UART serial console?

I never used the UART serial console - is there a guide to set that one up? Also I tried multiple cards - and no difference. Usually any good image would at least make one flash of green light but no luck with any of these (ones published on site and freshly built). 

 

Is there a way I can check the u-boot version on my working card?

yes use strings command on the first 16MiB of SD-card or image and grep for text U-Boot

and do the same thing for the SPI flash of the OPi5 if it has one, I don't remenber all 100's of boards.

If old u-boot in SPI and new on SD-card then indeed it won't work. then wipe the SPI so the one from SD-card is used.

Thank you!! I did a `nand-sata-install` from my working copy and now the images are finally booting up. Wifi is WORKING with mainline kernel 🥳
