OttawaHacker Posted August 2 Posted August 2 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? 0 Quote
OttawaHacker Posted August 3 Author Posted August 3 And same with a freshly compiled image with 6.18 btw - it doesn't boot. Going to test with edge kernel... 0 Quote

Only vendor has had the ap6275p driver but it looks like it was integrated to mainline and edge https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/10289 Sadly I cannot get any of the recent images to boot. The board doesn't have single peep of green light with a recent image flashed. 0 Quote

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? 0 Quote

Solution eselarm Posted August 3 Solution Posted August 3 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. 0 Quote
